Vice Ganda apologized to viewers over the limitations of a segment in It’s Showtime, citing budget constraints affecting its execution.
The issue stemmed from the ‘You Gotta Lyric’ portion of the ‘Laro Laro Pick’ segment, where contestants raise their hands to answer—a format some viewers found less engaging. One netizen suggested adding a buzzer system to improve gameplay.
Responding on social media, Vice acknowledged the suggestion and admitted the production’s current limitations.
“Yun lang talaga ang kulang. Buuuuzzzzzeeeeerrrrr!!!! Kaya lang wala na po kaming budget. Sagad na talaga,” she said.
She added that the team is doing what it can within its means.
“Pagdamutan nyo po muna ang kaya ng production. Babawi na lng kmi sa patawa.”
Vice also shared that she personally agrees with viewers who are not fond of the current mechanics.
“Alam kong di nyo masyado bet ung ‘taas ng kamay’ part sa U Gotta Lyric. Di ko din bet yun. Pagpasensyahan nyo na po ang kakulangan namin ngayon sa budget.”
Despite the concerns, she assured fans that improvements will be made once resources allow.
“Bawi kami pag nakaluwag luwag. Sa patawa na lang muna kmi babawi. Love u Madlang People.”
The response drew mixed but largely supportive reactions from viewers. Some offered alternative suggestions, while others expressed appreciation for the show’s humor and authenticity despite limitations.
“Bawing bawi naman kayo sa patawa basta andyan ka sa segment na yan Meme. Wag na magaabsent please, kelangan namin ng marami raming tawa sa hirap ng layf ngayon,” one fan commented.
Another viewer suggested tweaks to the format: “No worries Meme. Sa mga kahon na lng po ulit sila tapos ilaw-minate randomly nlng para malaman kung sinong sasagot.”
