OPM icon Ogie Alcasid and talented actor JC de Vera reaffirmed their commitment to ABS-CBN by renewing their contracts with the network on November 4. Being a Kapamilya means more than just a label—it embodies a deep sense of belonging to a family that values creativity, passion, and dedication. For decades, ABS-CBN has been a home to many of the country's brightest stars, fostering a bond that goes beyond professional ties. Alcasid and De Vera’s decision to stay reflects their trust in the network's vision and their shared commitment to bring joy and inspiration to audiences everywhere.

Expressing his happiness whenever he is called as a 'Kapamilya, Ogie said, "Kapag sinabing Kapamilya ka ang sarap sa puso and I mean that. It comes with feeling the honor, the distinction, and the privilege to serve. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam maging Kapamilya forever. Thank you so much for the trust and let's keep doing it."

The multi-hyphenate artist said viewers will still see him on "It's Showtime" and "ASAP." He also shared how both shows give him the joy and motivation to work every day, especially after seeing the madlang people's reactions.

"Nararamdaman ko yung joy kapag naririnig ko na yung 'Papapa papa Rapa papapa...' Hindi ako nagpapa-corny or nagdra-drama dito but there is this energy that I feel and sense of gratitude when you see the smiles of the madlang people and of course what the program has gone through. It is the spirit you cannot deny. Sa ASAP din when I'm singing with my friends and my e and with people who are extremely gifted with singing and generous with their gifts. We always say that we are in service of the Filipino and that it is true to its core," he shared.

JC also shared his gratefulness for the company's continuous trust and support.

"I want to take this time to tell everyone how thankful and grateful I am for this day. Sa ABS-CBN kasi kineep pa rin ako. They will be needing my services pa rin. I just want everyone to know that I am still growing as an actor. Alam mo na patuloy pa rin tayong binibigyan ng magagandang opportunities. I am still challenged and motivated," he said.

Since he became a Kapamilya, ABS-CBN has challenged him to take on different roles, which molded his craft as an actor.

"Ever since naging Kapamilya ako palagi akong tinetest ng network na gumawa ng roles outside of my box. Masasabi ko talaga na during my stay dito sa ABS-CBN, wala akong ginawang hindi challenging," he added.

He also revealed that viewers should watch out for his next series since he will be portraying a challenging role.

Present at the contract signing were ABS-CBN chairman Mark Lopez, president and CEO Carlo Katigbak, chief operating officer Cory Vidanes, group chief financial officer Rick Tan, TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, and their manager Rey Lanada.

First Time in "It's Showtime" G-FORCE Sweeps “MADLANG PI-POLL and Wins P150,000 Jackpot Prize

Toto 9/05/2021 09:00:00 AM

Last September 2, Thursday, members of the dance group G-Force rejoiced as they made history on “It’s Showtime” by becoming the first batch of studio players to sweep all seven rounds of “Madlang Pi-Poll,” the Philippines’ first interactive game segment on TV.

Jorge Marvin, Myka Gonzaga, and John Michael took home the jackpot prize of P105,000 plus an additional P45,000 for correctly guessing all of the answers of home viewers to seven poll-based questions.

The final question was “Paano mo malalaman ‘pag nanlalamig na siya sa relasyon? (How will you know your relationship has turned cold?).” Out of the six choices, the dancers picked “Wala nang oras (When they can no longer find time for you),” which turned out to be the answer of the majority of home viewers (33%).

Home viewers, meanwhile, were not left empty-handed as three of them won ABS-CBN merchandise as consolation prizes.

The hit segment has seen a steady increase in participating home viewers all over the country since its launch in July, as it recorded an all-time high of 84,272 active players last August 27.

“Madlang Pi-Poll” gives studio players and home viewers the chance to win cash prizes by answering poll questions. The prize is added to the studio players’ pot money if their answer matches the majority vote of home viewers. Otherwise, the money will be added to the total of the home players, which will then be evenly divided among randomly drawn winners.

To join the game, viewers, using their laptop or mobile device, can log on to www.joinnow.ph/showtime or scan the QR code that will be flashed on-screen and answer the game’s poll-based questions during the live segment.

A participant must be a Filipino citizen living in the Philippines, at least 18 years old, and has a valid ID. But to qualify for the raffle draw and get a chance to win prizes, they must register and provide their full name, address, age, phone number, and e-mail address after answering the final question in the game.

Let your voice be heard by joining “Madlang Pi-Poll” from Mondays to Saturdays on “It’s Showtime” on A2Z channel on free TV and digital TV boxes, Kapamilya Channel on cable and satellite TV, Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page, and on the iWantTFC app (iOs and Android) and on iwanttfc.com. Viewers outside of the Philippines can also catch it on The Filipino Channel on cable and IPTV.
