Comedienne Chariz Solomon has publicly raised allegations that TAPE Inc. has yet to settle the talent fees of hosts who appeared on the now-defunct variety program Tahanang Pinakamasaya.
The show ended its broadcast in March 2024, and according to Chariz and her fellow former co-hosts, their compensation remains unsettled as of January 2026.
The topic surfaced during the January 10, 2026 episode of the podcast “Your Honor” hosted by Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar on the YouLOL YouTube channel. Guest Dasuri Choi also joined the discussion.
During the episode, Chariz addressed the issue directly, claiming that the alleged delay has already stretched for two years:
“Di ba, magkasama tayo sa Tahanang Pinakamasaya noon? Hindi ba, hindi pa tayo bayad. Huy, 2026 na TAPE! Baka naman!” Chariz said.
She added that her patience has run out, remarking,
“Hindi na ako mabait. 'Yan ang New Year’s resolution ko. Gagawan na natin ito ng solution,”
while alleging that they have been following up with management but without success.
Buboy Villar echoed the sentiment, stressing the importance of the alleged unpaid fees, especially for parents like him who are supporting their children:
“Importante ito para sa pamilya,” he noted, explaining how their group chats eventually shifted from casual greetings to asking about payment updates.
Dasuri also shared that their conversations now revolve around one recurring question: “Kailan?” (When?)
Chariz described the situation as disheartening, saying:
“Kaysa, ‘Kumusta ka?’ — hindi yung, ‘Kailan? Nabayaran ka na?’ Ang pangit, di ba? Magtatatlong taon na. Hopefully this 2026.”
As of this writing, TAPE Inc. has not issued a public statement addressing the allegations made in the podcast. The claims remain the hosts’ accounts, and their side is currently what has been made available publicly.
Despite their frustrations, the hosts expressed hope that the matter will be resolved soon.
