Why Rufa Mae Quinto Suddenly Disappeared from It’s Showtime!

RUFA MAE QUINTO – Filipino actress and comedian Rufa Mae Quinto revealed the reason why she suddenly disappeared from It’s Showtime.

Last month, Rufa Mae Quinto had fans buzzing with hints that she might become a regular host on the popular Kapamilya variety show, It’s Showtime. Known for her vibrant and comedic charm, Quinto’s arrival infused the show with infectious energy, as her wit and humor quickly resonated with viewers.

During her debut appearances, the main hosts even jokingly offered her a “discount” on her talent fee, reflecting the playful and friendly atmosphere It’s Showtime is famous for. Quinto initially joined as a “semi-regular” guest host, with her frequent appearances especially shining in the popular segment “Kalokalike.”

Rufa Mae Quinto’s stint allowed fans to enjoy her fun exchanges with the show’s regular hosts—a part of the experience she described as one of her favorites.

However, nearly a month has passed without Quinto on air, and fans, affectionately called the “madlang people,” have been curious about her absence. Addressing these inquiries, Quinto shared a message with ABS-CBN News, explaining that she’s been away due to other commitments.

“I have prior commitments,” she said, though she noted that she misses the daily laughter shared with It’s Showtime viewers and her fellow hosts. “Salamat for watching and supporting me, my triple fff—family, friends, fans,” she added, with her signature humor, “FFF hooray!” and a heartfelt shoutout, “Mahal ko y’all!”

Although it’s uncertain when Quinto will return to the noontime show, fans are hopeful and eagerly await the day she’ll once again bring her unique brand of humor to their screens.
