In an episode of columnist Cristy Fermin’s program, she revealed that Mr. Jimmy Santos would not be able to leave TVJ and join the Jalosjos’ Eat Bulaga.

According to Cristy Fermin, Mr. Tony Tuviera and Tito, Vic and Joey never abandoned Jimmy Santos even though he had been away from Eat Bulaga for a long time.

Jimmy Santos left hosting Eat Bulaga because he wanted to relax because he was getting older.

Jimmy Santos is currently in Canada and living there, he is now busy with his business and vlogging in Canada.

According to Cristy Fermin, it is absolutely impossible for Jimmy Santos to accept if the Jalosjos offered him to host Eat Bulaga again, TAPE incorporated.

Recently, Jimmy Santos was spotted in a photo with current Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis, which is why many people think that Paolo is convincing Jimmy to join TAPE Inc.’s Eat Bulaga.

Cristy Fermin clarified that the photo of Paolo and Jimmy together was taken in a movie the two co-starred in abroad, Paolo also mentioned in an interview that he did not talk to Jimmy Santos about the Eat Bulaga issue.

Meanwhile, it is undeniable that the legit Dabarkads miss Jimmy Santos a lot, according to them, Jimmy Santos’s great and unique style when it comes to making viewers laugh and having fun is unmatched.

Jimmy Santos is truly one of the best comedians in the showbiz industry

Is there a stronger enemy than a person with dignity? In a shocking revelation, Jimmy Santos, the former host of Eat Bulaga and veteran comedian, suddenly rose from his silence and revealed his long-held grudge against TAPE Inc. and the Jalosjos family.

Amid the tension between TVJ (Tito, Vic, Joey) and their former home network, many questions surrounded Jimmy Santos — why was he silent? Did he take sides? Where was he in the fight? But now, in an explosive appearance on the TV5 version of Eat Bulaga, Jimmy has answered – and it’s a big slap in the face to his opponents!

Quiet But Powerful: “I Was Never Paid!”

Upon his return to the public, millions watched Jimmy Santos join the TV5 family of Eat Bulaga. Amidst the applause and shouts of “Dabarkads!”, only one line silenced everyone:

“I have never joined those who used the name of the show for personal gain.”

No names were mentioned, but everyone knew who he was referring to – TAPE Inc. and the Jalosjos, who are now facing severe criticism after stealing Eat Bulaga’s trademark from its original pillars: Tito, Vic, and Joey.

At this point, Jimmy not only gained support — but respect and admiration.

TAPE Inc. is embarrassed: “Where are they now?”

After the news broke, social media users could not hold back their emotions:

“Jimmy Santos has principles! He did not join the scam!”

“While others remained silent or sided with TAPE, Jimmy, stood up at the right time!”

“This is even more embarrassing than the ratings drop of fake Eat Bulaga!”

The remaining hosts of “Kabilang Eat Bulaga” were suddenly brought up again. Who accepted the money? Who was truly loyal to TVJ? Who left the fight?

Jimmy’s simple presence on TVJ Eat Bulaga became a clear statement of loyalty – something that no amount of money or power can buy.

TVJ’s Response: “Jimmy, thank you for your commitment.”

Tito, Vic, and Joey were also quick to express their gratitude. During the on-air segment of Eat Bulaga on TV5, they congratulated Jimmy and called him:

“One of the purest hearts in the industry. Not plastic. Not paid. True Dabarkads.”

Even Joey de Leon cracked a meaningful joke:

“The others only love ‘Eat Bulaga.’ Jimmy, as well as the people behind it, are also loved.”

In an instant, Jimmy Santos became a symbol of quiet but sensible stand-up — the kind of principle you don’t see in the world of showbiz anymore.

The Last Shame: No Script Needed When You’re Being Honest
As the legal battle between TAPE Inc. and TVJ continues, one thing is clear:

The heart of Eat Bulaga is no longer in GMA or the old studio — it’s in the people who are honest.

And now that Jimmy Santos has returned to his true Dabarkads, one message stands out amidst the noise:

“You don’t have to shout to fight for what’s right. Sometimes, a quiet gesture is enough to shame the abusers.”
