Comedian and the beloved Unkabogable star, Vice Ganda, shared some pre-holiday happiness with the diligent staff of the popular show, ‘It’s Showtime,’ through a heartwarming gesture showcased in his latest vlog on Friday, September 8.
In his vlog, Vice Ganda expressed his festive spirit, explaining, “Dahil malapit na ang Pasko…bago pa lang makapag-isip ng regalo ‘yung iba, mauuna na ako. Magbibigay ako ng pangregalo sa aking mga Showtime staff.”
The entire staff was overjoyed when Vice Ganda announced his plan to conduct a game he coined as ‘Shop Ganern.’ He would use his Shopee app to determine the fortunate recipients of his generous gifts.
Vice Ganda elucidated the process, saying, “So, meron akong bowl dito. All your names are here. Bubunot ako ng pangalan. ‘Yung mabubunot ko, gagamitin ang Shopee app ko sa cellphone at o-order kahit anong gusto.”
He humorously added that when a name was drawn, the chosen staff member had to exclaim ‘Shop Ganern’ before placing the order and then conclude with the phrase, “Thank you, Shopee.”
The comedian was pleasantly shocked when one of his staff members opted for an iPhone 14 Pro Max, a high-end smartphone valued at ₱78,990.
Vice Ganda quipped, “Alam mo ‘yung mga…’yung mga staff namin sa Showtime talaga, very professional, sobrang gagaling. Saka nakikita n’yo masayahin. Pero minsan mga abusado rin sila.”
Vice Ganda, an integral part of the ‘It’s Showtime’ lineup, recently faced a 12-day suspension from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). Additionally, he has taken on the role of the new brand ambassador for the renowned online shopping app, succeeding the Ultimate Multimedia Star, Toni Gonzaga-Soriano.
