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.

Your Ajakada Donny Pangilinan, Kristel Fulgar, Shine Kuk, and Robi Domingo continue to bring joy for the chingus and virtual travelers alike as they continue with their adventures in Jeju in a finale episode. For fun and joyous finale the ajakada will be having a concert for the Pinoys in Jeju. Catch the finale of "Aja! Aja!

Hosted by award-winning comedian Sef Cadayona and highly-talented athlete and actor Andre Paras, GOTG will surely bring unlimited good vibes as it raises the bar to a whole new level of entertainment experience for all generations.

Sef, who is known for his comedic prowess, is excited to bring their own unique spin to the show. “It’s different because all questions will come from different eras of pop culture that at times, some younger generations don’t even know existed. The audience and the players can look forward to the fun and the energy of the show since we’re merging different generations of people together. We have great guests and contestants who will do their best to outwit one another,” he said.




Meanwhile, Andre expressed his enthusiasm to be hosting the game show with Sef. He shared, “I was shocked when they told me because I had no idea I’d be one of the hosts they would consider. But I will do what I can to make everyone happy and proud. Also, working with Sef doesn’t feel like work. It feels like I’m hanging out with my big brother and having a great time with our guests.”   

If you have been following the journey of these nine (9) singers with extraordinary voices, you'll definitely get a hard time choosing who will win in this season of Tawag Ng Tanghalan on "It's Showtime." So, from February 1 to 6 these singers will battle it out to become the grand champion of "Tawag ng Tanghalan".

Currently, there's a trending topic on the net, which is the Ligo 101 in Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Connect, where Justin and Jie-Ann are the subjects or the object of criticism. Accordingly, this scene in the PBB Connect shows where Justin and Jie-Ann are both inside the confession room made different reactions from the netizens.

Though the topic is about proper hygiene, some of the netizens find this a little bit insulting. But others find this segment positive and educational. So, in totality, there is a mix of reactions and different interpretations of this PBB segment.


In my opinion about this is that we all have different knowledge and understanding of taking a bath. For some, simple soap and water are enough to take a bath. Or even a dip in a river or ilog is their way of taking a bath. And while others are lavish in their hygiene routine. On this PBB segment, it is probably about the interpretation. As I understand it, both are being taught in this situation, Jie-ann for not knowing most of the presented hygiene kits like the luffa or sponge and the bath gel. I remember my younger days in the province, there are no luffa or bath gel, only "batong panghilod (round stone for scrubbing) at sabong pangligo (bath soap)." While for Justin, it's about teaching, not only about the names of the hygiene kit but also to understand other people. Not all have access to these things.

You can check out some of the reactions and comments on Twitter about PBB Connect Ligo 101.

So, how about you, what is your opinion?

Can you really have fun without making any sound? Well, this is one of the newest segment of "It's Showtime." This is where celebrities will take on different fun challenges without making a sound and the newest game segment is called “Walang Tunugan,” which debuted on Monday (December 14). 

In the game, two celebrity players will try to complete a challenge while producing the least amount of noise or sound possible – which will be measured by a decibel meter.

To introduce the game to viewers, hosts Vhong Navarro and Kim Chiu faced off in opening a can of softdrinks while staying as quiet as possible.

Kim emerged as the winner of the game then advanced to the jackpot round, which she had to be accomplished in total silence. Wearing a jacket filled with spikes, Kim tried – but failed – to get through a balloon tunnel without popping a single balloon.

In each episode, online viewers can also get a chance to win the P5,000 prize if they correctly guess which celebrity player will advance to the jackpot round. To join, netizens need to tweet or comment on Facebook the name of the celebrity player along with the show’s official hashtag of the day.


Because Kim failed to complete the task, the cash prize will be added to the accumulated jackpot prize money in the next episode.

Join in the fun in “It’s Showtime” from Mondays to Saturdays on A2Z channel on the digital and analog broadcast. Digital TV box users can scan and look for A2Z channel in Metro Manila and in some parts of Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, Rizal, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, and Pampanga.

Viewers can also catch the show on Kapamilya Channel on cable and satellite TV (SKYchannel 8 on SD and channel 167 on HD, Cablelink channel 8, G Sat Direct TV channel 22, and most cable operator-members under Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association), on Kapamilya Online Live daily 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.
