TAPE Inc.
Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) is a Philippine television production company established on July 7, 1981[1] and is a partner of GMA Network Inc. (after Radio Philippines Network and ABS-CBN Corporation). It was founded by Romeo Jalosjos Sr. with Antonio "Tony" Tuviera, Vic Sotto, Tito Sotto and Joey de Leon.[2][3] It is known as the producer of the longest running noontime variety show (and franchise) Eat Bulaga!, among several Philippine television dramas. The offices and production studios are located at Xavierville Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City. After Tuviera's retirement as a CEO in March 2023, Romeo “Jon-Jon” M. Jalosjos Jr. took over his role before the Sotto brothers alongside De Leon resigned at the end of May due to internal conflicts between them and the new management of the production company.
