The superstar TV host-comedian was recently recognized by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), for his contributions to the local cinema through his blockbuster comedy films.
Vice Ganda continues to get showered with blessings amid going through tough challenges in his career. As his noontime show, It’s Showtime, still faces a possible 12-day suspension, as imposed by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), the Kapamilya superstar took notice of the streak of recognitions that he receives, whenever he gets confronted with difficult situations.
During the September 30 episode of It’s Showtime, Vice was honored by his fellow hosts and the Madlang People, for the recognition he received from the FDCP. It was a time to pay tribute to some people who made such an honor possible, which he gladly took.
“Maraming maraming salamat sa FDCP for being one of the few celebrities na pinarangalan ninyo kahapon,” he said, expressing his sadness over his absence during the awarding ceremony, itself.
“This is very timely. As usual, the design is very consistent,” he went on, throwing a meaningful look at the madlang people and fellow hosts, that earned him chuckles. “Di ba the design is very consistent,”.
Vice seemingly recalled the previous times that he received major awards, during or immediately after going through major problems in his career. He notably scored major milestones this year, including his win at the Content Asia Awards in August and the Asian Academy Creative Awards, last September. He also got recognized as the first Filipino to hit 15 million followers on X (formerly Twitter).
“The design is very consistent. Yung tipong after a few days, may award, laging ganyan,” he reiterated, to which his fellow hosts agreed with.
As of writing, It’s Showtime‘s fate on air remains murky. The recent denial of MTRCB on ABS-CBN’s Motions for Reconsideration, meant that they now have to lift their plea to the Office of the President, to decide whether their show should get penalized with a 12-day suspension, as pushed by MTRCB.
