Everyone in the country knows who Vice Ganda is, as evidenced by the large number of followers from her social media accounts to her noontime show “It’s Showtime” as well as her ever popular late night show “Gandang Gabi Vice”, and her new TV show “Everybody, Sing!”.
An A-list celebrity and a versatile performer, Vice Ganda is known not only for her on-stage achievements but off-stage successes as well.
In fact, her long-time running show, It’s Showtime, which airs on multi-platforms, is currently enjoying its high ratings because of its new segment, “Reina Ng Tahanan”, a beauty pageant of sort for all kinds of mothers.
In the tradition of Tawag Ng Tanghalan and Ms. Q&A, It’s Showtime scores another hit and once again proves, through its entire team and Vice Ganda, that it is a gamechanger and a trend setter. In fact, “Reina Ng Tahanan” is now the main segment of the show – having a bigger air time on the show – and there might even be a monthly finals.
“Iba-iba ang feelings na nararamdaman ko. Nakakdagdag ng happiness kasi alam ko na tama ang gut namin dahil talagang pinaglaban namin ang segment na ito sa management. Ngayong certified hit itong segment na dinivelop at pinaglaban namin, alam namin na hindi nasayang ang tiwala na binigay sa amin ng management. We are pumped-up and inspired to outdo ourselves every day and we are so happy to entertain our viewers,” Vice Ganda said.
“We are inspired to na lalong pagandahin ang segment. Inspired kami kasi maganda talaga ang kinalabasan ang segment. Nakaka-ispire din ang success ng Reina Ng Tahanan. Ang sarap mag-work araw araw knowing na madami kaming napapasaya at nabibigyan namin ng outlet ang napakadaming mga nanay na i-express ang sarili nila at i-showcase ang mga talents nila,” she added.
The award-winning host and unkabogable star has this interesting story about their new segment:
“Madami akong naututunan. Alam mo naman mahirap akong i-shock o gulatin sa dami ng mga naranasan at na-witness ko sa buhay ko pero naguguat pa din ako sa mga nadidiscover ko sa mga istorya ng mga Nanay naming contestants. May isa kaming conestant, isang nanay na very class, very educated ang English niya – yung edukadang English ha. Hindi yung English na natural niyang language sa bahay. Nahuli niyang nambabae yung asawa niya kaya hiniwalayan niya ito. Nung nakikipagbalikan sa kanya ang asawa niya, sinabi nung Nanay na magpakapon siya para di siya makabuntis ng ibang babae. So nagpakapon yung lalake. Sabi nung Nanay, sa family planning, hindi lang babae ang dapat mag-adjust at gumawa ng measures for family planning, pati lalake dapat may gawin kasi usually sa Pilipinas, babae ang nagpapatali. Family planning daw is designed to enjoy life and so that each couple could enjoy their children. Nung nagpakapon yung Lalake, nagkaroon yung Nanay ng peace of mind. At hindi nakakabawas ng pagka-Lalake ang pagpapa-kapon.”
“Naloloka lang ako dahil bago para sa akin ang insights nung Nanay. Yung mga stories ng mga contestants nakakagulat – iba iba talaga sila. I realized na hindi nauubos ang iba’t-ibang uri ng mga Nanay. Ang species ng mga nanay ay mas madami pa sa species ng mga isda. Madaming uri ng mga Nanay. We cannot stereotype nanays. Madaming hugis, madaming kuwento, madaming kinds.”
“Sina Gelli De Belen at Amy Perez, pareho silang walang anak na babae pero magkaiba pa rin sila. Iba-iba ang mga nanay. Limitless ang definition ng salitang nanay. Ang common sa kanila ay ang pagmamahal nila sa kani-kanilang mga pamilya – pagmamahal sa kanilang mga asawa at kanilang mga anak.”
“Factually, millions of Pinoy mothers love the segment. Ang Ganda ng nangyayari sa It’s Showtime. Across the board ang market ng “Reina Ng Tahanan” dahil talagang family oriented ito. Mothers of all ages see themselves on the segment regardless of economic class or background.”
“Motherhood is universal!”
And if the pure fun and unbridled mirth of It’s Showtime and Everybody, Sing! are not enough, millions of solid Vice Ganda fans must save the dates of July 17 (9: 00 p.m. Manila Time – World Premiere) and July 18 (11:00 a.m. Manila Time – Worldwide Screening) for the highly-anticipated and biggest online concert of year – Gandemic: The VG-Tal Concert.
