In the midst of a 12-day suspension imposed by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) on the noontime program ‘It’s Showtime,’ a clip from Tuesday’s episode featuring Vice Ganda’s lighthearted jokes is making the rounds on social media platform X.
During the show’s ‘Isip Bata’ segment, Vice received a “letter” that he playfully mentioned. While he didn’t delve into the “contents” of the letter, he hinted that it might be from the MTRCB office regarding their suspension. Laughter from the studio audience filled the air.
The comedian-TV host went on to jest, “Pero Showtime family, kung anuman ang ipinagdasal ninyo kagabi, I’m very sure, iyon din ang ipinagdasal ng Madlang People.”

Netizens have commended Vice Ganda and the hosts for their resilience in continuing to work and spread joy despite the challenges currently facing the show. Many have also appreciated their ability to find humor in the situation.
