Vhong Navarro had his It’s Showtime comeback on January 16

Kapamilya star Vhong Navarro finally returned to It’s Showtime and he shared what he experienced inside the detention center.

Vhong was granted his temporary freedom in December of last year. That court’s decision made him so happy as he was able to spend the holidays with his family. After he was released, fans have been anticipating his return to Showtime and this finally happened on Monday.

It was an emotional moment for Vhong and the hosts of the Kapamilya noontime show, as well as the “madlang pipol.” Based on the article in ABS-CBN News, the actor-host was not able to return immediately to the show because of some processes that needed to be done first.

Before Vhong Navarro was introduced, other hosts sang The Moffatts’ song I’ll Be There. He was obviously overwhelmed by the warm welcome he received from his co-hosts and the “madlang pipol.”

Vhong also shared that while he was inside the detention center, he was not watching their noontime show because he just misses his co-hosts more. Then, he shared what he witnessed inside.

“Kapag nandoon ka sa loob, ang hirap. Nakita ko ang inmates ko sa NBI, sa Taguig, naaawa ako sa mga walang dumadalaw sa kanila, ang iba ay iniwan ng pamilya, At ‘yung iba ay parang katulad ko na wala namang ginawa pero nandoon. Ite-test ka talaga ni God, kung ano ang faith mo sa Kanya,” he said.

Madlang people, sabay-sabay nating salubungin ang pagbabalik ng namiss natin ng sobra-sobra. 🥰

WELCOME BACK, KUYS VHONG NAVARRO! We love you! 🥰🥰🥰

Vhong also shared what he told Ogie Alcasid. “Kaya sabi ko kay kuya Ogie ang hope at faith ay iisa ‘yan. Hindi pwedeng isa diyan mas mataas, dapat pantay ‘yan. So kumapit ako sa Panginoon, sa asawa ko, sa pamilya ko, sa mga kaibigan ko at sa mga taong nagdarasal at nagtitiwala sa akin. Kaya patuloy akong lumaban na malagpasan ang mga problemang pinagdadaanan ko,” the former Streetboys member said.

Vhong’s co-hosts also became emotional. After everything that has happened, he once again thanked everyone who believed in him and continue to show support for him.
