00:00 Alright, so to start the proceedings, may I be allowed to read my statement, our opening statement?
00:14 Magandang umaga po, Senyor Nata.
00:17 First and foremost, we thank the Lord our God for being with us throughout this ordeal.
00:25 Indeed, the truth will always prevail.
00:30 Yesterday, the Intellectual Property Office, the Bureau of Legal Affairs, decided that we, Tito Vic and Joey,
00:38 are the rightful owners and originators of the trademarks in Bulaga and India.
00:45 Thus, we, DBJ, have the exclusive and absolute right to register the same marks in all its variations.
01:00 In this regard, the IPO canceled the trademark registration of TAPE Inc. over the marks in Bulaga and India.
01:11 TAPE Inc. failed to prove that they conceptualized in Bulaga and India.
01:20 It is Joey who coined and created these marks in 1979 in my kitchen, in my place.
01:29 In our petition, we explained the significance of the design and the origin of each word that comprises in Bulaga.
01:39 TAPE Inc. did not even refute or contradict our narration of the origin of the marks.
01:48 In fact, they corroborated our claims when they said that Romy Jalusos only chose the name in Bulaga amongst the list given to him.
02:01 Thus, the IPO finds our position to be believable, credible, and strong controverting evidence against TAPE's registration.
02:15 The IPO took note and recognized Joey's creative efforts in conceptualizing the words in Bulaga.
02:25 In its decision, the IPO said that "it is not the application or the registration that confers the right of registration."
02:38 We have sufficiently proven to the IPO that we, TVJ, are the owners of the word marks.
02:45 Therefore, as earlier mentioned, it is only us and no one else who have all the right to register these subject marks.
02:56 TAPE Inc. should not be allowed to profit from the business reputation built by TVJ.
03:04 For how many decades, TVJ garnered goodwill over the In Bulaga brand, and the general public even said that TVJ is In Bulaga and In Bulaga is TVJ.
03:21 The IPO's favorable decision, while it is just the beginning, is indeed a milestone in the welcoming development to our legal claims.
03:37 We express our heartfelt thanks to our Lord, our God, to our family, and all the solid Davar cards who are with us in this journey.
03:48 Maraming Salamat.
03:52 Thank you.
