In March 2023, the new management of TAPE Inc. forced Tuviera to retire as the president and CEO and Romeo Jalosjos Jr. was named as his replacement. Tuviera still has ownership of the company as of June 2023 according to Tito Sotto.[4] The original Eat Bulaga! hosts came into a dispute with the new management which would eventually lead to their exit from TAPE Inc. (but not leaving the show itself) at the end of May.
