Anjo Yllana on unpaid wages as 'Eat Bulaga!' host: 'Baka sakaling makuha yung karapatdapat sa akin'

Published May 15, 2023 07:11 am
Anjo Yllana recently appealed to Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE), producer of "Eat Bulaga," for payment of back wages as show host. According to Anjo, he was not paid as host for several months in 2019. He is pursuing his case after learning that former "Eat Bulaga!" co-host, veteran star Vic Sotto, was already paid.

Sana ma-check." “Ngayon, kung may tiwala kayo sa akin, yun lang naman yun, e. Lima o pitong buwan. Konting compensation. 20 years naman ako sa inyo, kalahati halos ng buhay ko inalay ko naman sa inyo. Wala naman akong masamang tinapay sa inyo. Baka puwede namang makita, masilip… kung nakita niyong ganitong halaga pa, halaga pa rin yun, sayang yun." Anjo maintained he actually decided to move on from the debacle but changed his mind after finding out that the company already paid Vic. "Kumbaaga pinagpasa-Diyos ko na lang yun kasi sabi nga naging masaya naman ako. Mahal ko yung mga katrabaho ko dun pero kung magkakabayaran, sama naman ako. Kahit wala na ako diyan, sama naman ako. Kasi pinagtrabahuhan ko naman." Anjo is thankful that Vic and Tito Sotto broke their silence about it.

E, ayoko naman magsalita tungkol dito kasi sabi nga ni Bossing, 'Pera lang yan.' E, sa akin prinsipyo lang. Ganun na sana ako, e. Parang: 'Sige, prinsipyo na lang.' E, kaso nainggit naman ako, (bayad na sila),” he quipped. Anjo shared how the mother of his kids tried to negotiate on his behalf to no avail. “Ang huling sumingil si Jacqui, ang nanay ng mga anak ko. Kasi ayaw niya maniwala sa akin na pito, walong buwan na akong hindi nagsusuweldo. Sabi ko 'Wala, wala.' Siyempre, inaaway na ako. 'Ibig sabihin nagtatrabaho ka, wala ka namang suweldo?' Sabi ko: 'Oo,'" he shared. “Anyway, sabi niya: 'Kaibigan ko si Bullet (Mayor Bullet Jalosjos).' Sabi ko, 'Hindi ko alam kung may alam si Bullet diyan.' Pero sabi ko: 'Tutal sa inyo naman mapupunta yung sisingilin ko, e okay lang. Pero sinasabi ko sa yo, walang gumagawa niyan sa TAPE na nagsusumbong ng kani-kanino,' Winarningan ko naman siya. Pero gusto ko na rin mag-baka sakali," he continued. “So, eto na sinabi niya kay Bullet. Sabi raw ni Bullet: 'I’ll check on it on Anjo’s salary bakit hindi siya binabayaran.' Sabi sa akin ng asawa ko dati - nagalit na naman, 'Sabi ni Bullet, nakalagay dun bayad ka na...,' ganyan-ganyan. 'May VAT na...,' ganyan-ganyan. Anyway, e di siyempre sinungaling na naman ako.” “This is precisely yung sinasabi ni Tito Sen na bakit sa BIR declared na yung VAT, ibig sabihin bayad na. Kung hindi lumabas yung sinabi ni Tito Sen at ni Pareng Vic, walang maniniwala sa akin na may utang pa sa akin," he reiterated. Anjo noted that during the pandemic, the company asked for his savings account details. He received compensation thereafter. “Una, may dumating na parang 200 thousand plus. So sabi ko 'Ay, at least.' Sabi ko: 'Pandemic.' Tapos, paunti-unti na yun, kada kinsenas. Minsan wala pa. Maliliit na yun, mga 30, minsan 20. Hindi abot sa total na kulang sa akin," he said. “Okay naman, kasi kahit papaano, nagagamit ko sa bahay pang kain namin, e. Pandemic, alam mo naman, kailangan natin pagkain, kailangan natin ayuda. Naranasan natin lahat yan.” Things supposedly changed when he accepted work on Net 25. "Kaya ko naman tinanggap yung Net 25 kasi ang sabi sa akin ni Mr. T (Tony Tuviera), nag-Zoom meeting kami, mga two years pa daw bago kami mag-normal. So sabi ko: 'Anong ipapakain ko sa mga anak ko?' Tinanggap ko na yung Net 25. Nag-resign na ako sa 'Eat Bulaga!' Ever since wala nang patak na dumadating sa akin. Natigil yun," he shared. “Ako naman, sa totoo lang, sabi ko nga mahal ko yung show, matagal ako dun. Kung talagang wala silang ibabayad sa akin at walang pera.. ang sinasabi kasi lagi walang pera sa loob, walang laman yung opisina. Ang sa akin naman, kung talagang wala, sabi nga ni Bossing: 'Sige e di wala.' E, meron na nga ngayon. Baka sakali lang naman... Baka sakaling makuha yung karapatdapat sa akin... Konting compensation."
