Biz Buzz: The homecoming of “Iron Lady”
Jalosjos-led Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE) has appointed Malou Choa Fagar, dubbed as “TV executive Iron Lady,” as its president and CEO.
This marks her return to the company after retiring in 2021. Prior to leaving TAPE then, Fagar was with the company for 41 years as a production assistant in her early days before eventually reaching executive level.
“Returning feels like coming home, where my talents and abilities are valued. I am grateful to reunite with familiar faces and forge new connections,” said the original producer of noontime variety show Eat Bulaga.
TAPE chair emeritus Romeo Jalosjos Sr. said “her return signifies her unwavering dedication to reclaiming the company’s industry leadership.”
Fagar was recently given the Distinguished Alumni Award in Television Arts and Media at the 2024 University of the Philippines Alumni Association Awards.
