After months of legal battles and digital tug-of-war, the online world is abuzz once again: Has the iconic trio of Tito, Vic, and Joey (TVJ) finally regained control of the original Eat Bulaga YouTube channel?
Sultry-eyed "Dabarkads" (fans) noticed a sudden change in the Profile Picture and Cover Photo of the verified channel, which currently boasts a massive following of 5.28 million subscribers.
A Return to the 'Original' Identity
For a significant period following the high-profile split between TVJ and TAPE Inc., the status of the show’s digital assets remained a point of contention. However, as of 2026, the visual rebranding of the channel strongly suggests that the transition back to its original creators is nearly complete.
The update of these digital assets is being hailed by many as a "soft launch" of TVJ Productions' full ownership of the account. While an official "victory post" has yet to be released by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, these updates are more than enough to spark a celebration among loyal followers.
The Value of the 5.28M Channel
This YouTube channel is far more than just a social media account; it is a digital archive of Philippine television history. Its importance lies in:
* Historical Archives: Housing the most iconic segments from the show’s decades-long run.
* Legacy Content: Thousands of videos that represent the cultural impact of the "Dabarkads."
* Monetization and Reach: A ready-made audience of over 5 million fans built over years of consistent engagement.
What’s Next for the Dabarkads?
Following recent court rulings that favored TVJ regarding the "Eat Bulaga" trademark, reclaiming online platforms was the logical next step. Netizens are now eagerly anticipating the return of classic episode replays and more active daily uploads under the management of TVJ Productions and TV5.
For now, fans are advised to stay tuned for an official statement. One thing is certain: The Legit Dabarkads are making their digital presence felt!
