The new segment was launched after a recent incident on the show sparked concerns on the current educational problem in the country.
In a recent social media post, Pinoy Big Brother alum, Robi Domingo, expressed his enthusiasm for the newest segment of It’s Showtime, titled Quiz V, which pits studio audience members against a series of thought-provoking questions, spanning diverse topics, including pressing social issues.
Domingo remarked, “Saludo sa bagong segment ng It’s Showtime. Gamitin ang utak, wag puro bwakbwak”, highlighting the importance of critical thinking in today’s society.
Domingo’s comment comes in the wake of a viral incident during the show, where a contestant from Sexy Babe segment, admitted to being unaware of the country’s poll body, Commission on Elections, or COMELEC, emphasizing the need for awareness regarding the country’s electoral processes. This incident resonated with Vice Ganda, who also addressed the systemic educational crisis during the episode. Domingo’s words can be interpreted as an indirect appeal to authorities to address the gaps in the education system that leave many uninformed about vital civic knowledge.
Vice Ganda added to the discussion, stating, “Siguro kailangan lang nating buhayin ‘yung interes ng mga tao, kasi ayaw nating binabanggit ‘yung linyang, ‘noong panahon namin’. Noong panahon namin, bilang estudyante, nakatutok talaga kami sa pag-aaral at pagsasaliksik. Ang hirap mag-research dati!”.
