ReINA ng Tahanan Reigns Supreme in Ratings

If you've been binge watching "It's Showtime!" these past few days, you probably have figured out why it has reigned supreme in ratings despite the challenges of not having it broadcasted on free to air TV for a few months now. The popular portion in It's Showtime takes a screenshot of true life, of how it is to be a Mom at this day and age in the Philippines. Contestants come from different economic backgrounds, most of whom have difficult life stories and want to in one way shape or form to become confident in their skin, showcase their talent to the public and feel like queens even for a day.

This week had us see someone literally heartwarming as they finally popped the question on national TV - a Mom who has been in a relationship with a guy for a long time appeared on the question and answer portion and brought out a ring, to finally fulfill a ReiNANAY's dream of getting married. Vice Ganda and Kim Chiu witnessed that too and honestly, it made a lot of people tear up during the show.

Today they also had a woman almost have a break down because she forgot everything she practiced during the introduction of candidates, but Vice Ganda quickly turned around things and had her repeat her script 4 more times til she got it right. The part where they had to run around on stage and make light of the situation was just genius, I'm sure a lot of people at home would find this not just fun but extremely entertaining. It reminds me of programs that showcase a slice of life, where we see happiness, fun even in the most awkward situations. It was lovely to see Vice pickup banter and add in little tidbits of things she learned all these years.

Vice says "It's a pretty difficult time to produce a show of this caliber because we are still under the pandemic. We don't even have the liberty to move around that much during the show. In spite of all these challenges and extreme exhaustion when we do the show, we feel it's all worth it because we're giving entertainment that Filipinos deserve. We also gave ordinary mothers a platform where they could have fun and loosen up. They are the real reason why we are doing this, for the most important people in our lives, our Moms!"

Which reminds me, Vice is actually having a repeat of her concert entitled GANDEMIC this coming August 14 as clamor for it is at an all time high. Vice never disappointed fans during the weekend of her concert and this time, she's going to do it for you guys and gals who are fond of Vice's antics and brand of comedy. Tons of guests, super fun acts and special numbers will happen on this date. Make sure you get your tickets via KTX.ph ahead of time and get the VIP so you can see and be in the midst of Vice right after the show.

Vice really has been a good source of laughter during these hard times and I'm so happy she's doing it one more time even if she's busy with Everybody Sing and It's Showtime. 

VICE GANDA Starts "Everybody Sing!" This Week!

Seeing the Phenomenal Box Office Star Vice Ganda on TV only means you'll be having a good time- and this week, he's going to be adding another feather to his hat as he hosts a brand new show called "Everybody Sing!" which is set to premiere this June 5 and 6. It will be shown online on Kapamilya Online Live, TFC, iWantTFC, free to air on A2Z Channel 11, Kapamilya Channel (digital).

This show is hella lot different from other game shows as there will be a total of 25 contestants at a time representing a particular sector/organization, people from all walks of life. Vice says "Finally, we now have a chance to show you "Everybody Sing" which was initially intended to be shown 2020, but the pandemic and ABSCBN closure made our plans change. I am very happy, excited, a little regret because COVID-19 happened. When we started, we were planning to have 100 studio contestants so we had to limit it to 25 because of pandemic restrictions. There will be less people and opportunity to win, but don't worry about that." 

He adds "Unfortunately, because ABSCBN also lost its franchise, we had to limit our prize from 2 Million pesos to 500 Thousand Pesos for the cash prize. You will see some of the previously shot episodes during the latter part of the series. We also strictly followed protocols, as each contestant got swabbed and locked in just for the tapings. This also excites me as I get to talk to 25 different individuals each time and you'll be laughing hard about the different banters and interaction I'll be doing with them. It may have been hard to actually do this, but it is very fulfilling, it's all worth it!"

Aside from that, you'll be seeing him on weekdays at "It's Showtime!" for more fun and laughter. Vice together with the staff also has helped and developed the new portion called "Reina Ng Tahanan" wherein super woMOMs get to showcase themselves through a pageant. If you're a talented mom, smart, and have the heart, 18yo and above, then you can join and become the reigning REINANAY of the day.

And of course, we all miss Vice Ganda on stage. So on July 17 and 18, 2021, she'll be having a concert called Gandemic: The VG-Tal Concert. On the 17th it'll start at 9PM and on the 18th it'll be at 11AM (GMT+8 which is Manila time). Guests include new mom Anne Curtis, guy with a golden voice Ice Seguerra, the crazy comedians MC and Lassy, the funny bunch of Negie, Petite, Awra and Argie plus the very talented Payatas Children’s Choir. They'll be performing in different times of the show so you have to log in early! The concert can also be viewed via TFC, iWantTFC and Sky Pay Per View. Tickets are available now on KTX.PH for VIP (with access to meet and greet Vice) Php 1,500 and Gen Ad at Php 1,000. I can't wait to see what Vice has in store for us all. The brand of comedy he brings, is just crazy good and for what it's worth, we need to dedicate some time for laughter during these difficult times.

I'm glad Vice is stepping up the plate and giving us what we need!
