Unkabogable star Vice Ganda once again caught public attention after making a playful yet pointed remark involving media executives Manny V. Pangilinan and Carlo Katigbak during a recent episode of It’s Showtime.
Known for being outspoken about social and industry issues, Vice has consistently used his noontime program as a platform to voice his opinions, particularly on corruption and challenges faced by the media industry. In recent months, he has also been vocal about his hope for the continued success of ABS-CBN despite the network’s loss of its broadcast franchise.
While Vice has expressed gratitude for cross-network collaborations—especially with ‘It’s Showtime’ now airing on GMA Network—he has also been open about his disappointment over the termination of TV5’s content partnership that previously aired Kapamilya primetime shows. TV5 is owned by Pangilinan, while Katigbak is the president and CEO of ABS-CBN.
During a segment on the show, Vice humorously referenced the end of the partnership by quipping, “Ang kakantahin natin ngayon ay ‘Ano’ng Nangyari sa Ating Dalawa?’ by ABS and TV5.”
He then added another punchline that drew laughter from the audience and viewers: “May bagong version niyan: ‘Ano’ng Nangyari sa Ating Dalawa?’ by Sir Carlo and Manny.”
The remark quickly circulated online, prompting mixed but largely amused reactions from netizens. Many praised Vice for his wit and courage, noting that few personalities would dare to make light of such sensitive industry developments on national television.
Comments ranged from admiration for Vice’s fearlessness to appreciation for his intelligence and humor, with several viewers pointing out that he continues to speak his mind despite potential professional risks.
