Vice gives a glimpse of fun celebration of It’s Showtime family after new deal with GMA

March 20, 2024, was indeed a momentous day for Philippine television history as It’s Showtime, the longest-running noontime variety show of ABS-CBN, has found its new home on GMA after the two media companies inked a deal to extend its simulcast to the latter’s main channel beginning on April 6.

After days of teasing the madlang people about a highly anticipated “good news” that would surely surprise and delight everyone, we finally witnessed the contract signing event between ABS-CBN and GMA, which was attended by their respective top executives and the It’s Showtime family. While we got to see everything that happened during that historic day via livestream, Vice Ganda took us to the fun ganaps behind the scenes in her latest vlog.

As soon as that day’s episode wrapped up, the hosts proceeded to get themselves all glammed up in their dressing rooms, then had boisterous kulitan moments in their huddle room and along the hallway as they waited for their departure. As the hosts embarked on the pick-up truck bedecked in blue that transported them to the GMA headquarters where the event happened, Ogie Alcasid led the prayer and their kulitan continued.

Cladded in black and red ensembles, the Kapamilya hosts were warmly welcomed by the swarm of employees of GMA Network, as well as by its bosses who were all smiles as they greeted them. We saw how they cried to the heartwarming message of ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo L. Katigbak and how they listened intently to the remarks of GMA executives, including its Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon.
