A recent episode of ‘It’s Showtime’ sparked debate among viewers after actress Janella Salvador’s appearance on the show.
The incident occurred on April 2, during a segment where Salvador, along with Thai actor Win Metawin, was promoting their film ‘Under Parallel Skies.’
In response, the Kapamilya actress took to the platform to express her gratitude and clarify her actions.
In a post on X, Salvador shared her appreciation for the overwhelming support she received. “Oh wow. I’ve been meaning to explain myself because the last thing I would ever want is to appear rude or disrespectful… and here I am being met with so much love and comfort upon opening this app,” she wrote.
Salvador continued by expressing happiness that many people understood her intentions and what she stands for. “Thank you. It makes me happy to know that there are many people out there who know my heart and what I stand for. Hugs of gratitude (from behind),” she added, along with an emoji.

During the segment, Salvador was requested by host Kim Chiu to provide a sample of her new song, ‘Headtone.’ However, Salvador declined, citing hoarseness.
“Medyo paos ako today, kayo na lang. Next time, promise,” Salvador responded, before Chiu could finish her request.
Following this, co-host Vice Ganda’s joke used Salvador’s excuse during their segment ‘EXpecially For You,’ making light of her refusal to participate.
The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with some viewers criticizing Salvador for allegedly embarrassing Chiu on national television. However, others defended Salvador, citing cultural nuances and comedic context.
As the controversy continues to unfold, fans eagerly await responses from Salvador, Chiu, and Ganda regarding the incident.
