Besides the management contracts, the “BPOP Idols” will get P1 million in cash prize and one-year stint as hosts of “Eat Bulaga.”
"Asahan na hindi lamang sila magiging kilala bilang isang dance group kung hindi hahasain din sila sa hosting, singing, acting, at magkakaroon din sila ng iba't-ibang training para hubugin ang kanilang personal at professional development (Please expect that they will not only be known as a dance group but they will also be trained in hosting, singing, acting and they will also have different training to mold their personal and professional development),” said Soraya Jalosjos.
Serrano said, "Ilalatag din natin ang iba't-ibang endorsements and we'll make sure to maximize their growth (We will also lay down the different endorsements and we'll make sure to maximize their growth).”
TAPE CEO Jalosjos welcomed them to the company.
"Kami ay nagagalak at sa wakas bahagi na ng lumalaking pamilya ng Eat Bulaga! ang ating BPOP IDOLS in the next few days makikita niyo na ang full immersion nila sa mga hosts. Kami rin ay natutuwa dahil ang bawat isa sa kanila ay may unique character at personality na makakatulong sa programa (We are very glad and finally, our BPOP Idols are now part of the growing family of Eat Bulaga and in the next few days, you will see their full immersion as hosts. We are also happy because each of them has a unique character and personality that will help the program),” said Jalosjos.
According to Abraham-Garduque, “This contract signing is another milestone for TAPE and Eat Bulaga! as for the longest time they do not have a female group. This five-year contract is intended to protect both parties and would serve as to express and ensure our commitment to our BPOP IDOLS."
