As ‘It’s Showtime’ embarks on a 12-day suspension beginning on October 14, 2023, Vhong Navarro took a moment to convey a heartfelt message to the show’s dedicated viewers.
During the suspension, a new show, ‘It’s Your Lucky Day,’ will temporarily take its place, hosted by Luis Manzano, Melai Cantiveros Francisco, Shaina Magdayao, Jennica Garcia, Seth, Francine, Long, Negi, Petit, and Tetay.
Vhong expressed his gratitude to the “madlang people” for their continued support and extended an invitation for them to tune in to the upcoming program. He assured them that the absence would be short-lived, with ‘It’s Showtime’ set to return on October 28, presenting ‘Mini Ms. U: The Cutest Finale.’
“At kami naman po sa aming pagbabalik, October 28. Magsasama-sama tayo muli para sa Mini Ms. U: The Cutest Finale… Kaya madlang people, we’ll be right back.”
He acknowledged the viewers and conveyed his anticipation for the program’s revival, remarking that they would be reunited soon.
“Mami-miss namin kayo, pero mabilis lang ‘yan. Kaya magkita-kita tayo muli.”
Vhong’s message serves as a heartfelt farewell to the audience, reassuring them that the separation is only temporary. It’s a sign of the excitement and anticipation building around the return of ‘It’s Showtime’ and the upcoming show, ‘It’s Your Lucky Day.’
The hiatus, mandated by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), provides an opportunity for viewers to experience the new noontime program on ABS-CBN, which will also be accessible on GTV. This time away will enable viewers to engage with the new program, partake in its various activities and games, and offer feedback, especially on social media platforms.
One key aspect to watch will be the program’s ratings, which will reveal how it competes with rival shows, such as ‘EAT’ on TV5 and ‘Eat Bulaga’ on GMA Network. The audience will soon discover whether the return of ‘It’s Showtime’ will maintain its stronghold in the competitive world of daytime television.
