Vice Ganda has finally cleared the air on why Sparkle artist Shuvee Etrata has been frequently appearing on ‘It’s Showtime’.
In a candid post on X (formerly Twitter), the “Unkabogable Star” revealed that he personally reached out to GMA Network’s Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon to invite the young Kapuso actress to join the Kapamilya noontime show.
“Even before we shot the vlog, gusto ko na si Shuvee. Kaya nga ako mismo ang kumausap kay Miss Annette para kunin siya sa Showtime,” Vice posted on July 26, referring to his viral vlog featuring Shuvee and her close friend, actress Ashley Ortega.
While Vice admitted he wasn’t initially familiar with Ashley, his impression changed after filming the vlog. “Si Ashley, di ko pa masyadong kilala at wala akong dama sa kanya. Pero after the vlog, mahal ko na sila pareho. Pareho silang magandang nilalang,” he added.
