Anne Curtis, host of “It’s Showtime,” was deeply moved on Monday (July 3) by a contestant in the “Mini Ms. U” segment. The young participant’s heartfelt words during an impromptu acting segment touched not only Curtis but also the hearts of the viewers, known as the “madlang people,” on social media.
Seven-year-old Annika Co from Muntinlupa City impressed the hosts and the audience with her singing talent. However, it was her spontaneous acting skit with Vice Ganda that truly stole the show and left Curtis in tears.
During the skit, Vice Ganda and Annika portrayed best friends preparing to perform a duet on stage. However, the comedian hesitated due to anxiety. Annika’s genuine and pure responses to Vice Ganda’s lines about fears of not being liked and not being the best moved Curtis to the point of tears.

The heartwarming scene concluded with Annika and Vice Ganda sharing a hug and holding hands, as Vice Ganda decided to join his friend on stage. In the background, an emotional Curtis could be seen clapping along with the “madlang people,” deeply touched by Annika’s touching lines.
Curtis, who has a three-year-old daughter, took to Twitter to express her thoughts on Annika’s performance as clips from the “It’s Showtime” segment quickly went viral on social media.
