On August 20, host-comedian Jayson Gainza thanked GMA Network for the number of projects he got after joining the Kapuso Network.
At the Kadayawan Festival in Davao City, which LionhearTV covered, Gainza recounted how his co-host Pokwang helped him get opportunities with the Kapuso Network.
“Ay sobra, sobra po ‘yung pasasalamat ko. Dahil ‘yun nga sabi ko nga, timing po. Naikwento ko lang, kasi nandoon nga noong naghahanap ako ng nagpandemic, tapos lumapit ako kay Mamang (Pokwang). Si Mamang naman open arms naman na kinausap ako. Sabi niya, sige tutulungan kita. Nag bigay siya ng P5M, joke lang.
“Ang dami niyang pera, tapos ‘yun sabi niya, ‘yung handler niya tinawagan din ako. Tapos sabi ko– kasi ang kinabubuhay ko talaga is comedy, sitcom comedy eh sa kabila po puro tenser, sabi ko parang– wala ng, sabi ko, eh lima ‘yung anak ko, eh kailangan ko ng trabaho. Tapos ‘yun, tinanggap ako, nagderederetso naman.”
Gainza recently had stints on ‘Happy ToGetHer,’ ‘Tiktoclock,’ and ‘All-Out Sundays.’ He would also join the cast of the upcoming Kapuso action series ‘Black Rider.’
He then recalled how he became one of the mainstay hosts of Tiktoclock after becoming a guest host of the Kapuso program.
“Guesting po ako, ng Boy Romantiko. Kinuha po dahil sabi nila, sino ‘tong magaling na ‘to, sino ‘tong magaling na ‘to, kunin ‘yan.’ Tapos ‘yun isang araw lang, finale sa ulit po. Joke lang.
“Ayun po sobra po ‘yung pagpapasalamat ko dahil pinagkakatiwalaan po ako ng GMA Network.”
As for ‘Tiktoclock,’ hosts Pokwang, Kim Atienza, Faith da Silva, Rabiya Mateo, and Jayson Gainza went to Davao City to bring their all-out and positive energy to the Kapuso Mall Shows in Ayala Malls Abreeza, Davao City.
‘Tiktoclock’Â airs Monday to Friday on GMA at 11:15 AM.
