VICE GANDA FINALLY REVEALS SHOCKING TRUTH About What ABS-CBN Allegedly Did to It’s Showtime — Fans Are Furious and Demanding Answers!

In a stunning and emotional revelation that has sent shockwaves through the Philippine entertainment industry, “Unkabogable Star” Vice Ganda has finally spoken up about the behind-the-scenes struggles of It’s Showtime — and what he said about ABS-CBN has left fans both heartbroken and enraged.

After months of speculation, cryptic tweets, and mysterious on-air moments, Vice broke his silence during a spontaneous livestream on his YouTube channel, where he revealed the shocking truth about the internal battles the show and its hosts have allegedly faced — not from rival programs or government censorship, but from their very own network.

What happened? Why now? And what exactly did ABS-CBN allegedly do to one of its most iconic noontime shows?

Here’s the full story behind Vice Ganda’s explosive confession — and why fans are demanding accountability from the very network they’ve long supported.

The Livestream That Set the Internet on Fire

On Sunday evening, Vice Ganda went live on YouTube and Instagram without warning. No promo. No teaser. Just raw, real talk — the kind that immediately made headlines.

Dressed in a simple hoodie, visibly emotional, and holding back tears, Vice began by thanking fans for their continued support.

But then, the tone changed.

“There are things I’ve been holding in for too long,” he said. “And it’s time I finally say something.”

For over 45 minutes, Vice spoke candidly about what he described as “repeated neglect” and “lack of protection” from ABS-CBN management — even as It’s Showtime fought to survive against all odds.

“We Were Left Alone”

Vice revealed that after ABS-CBN’s franchise was denied in 2020, the It’s Showtime team felt abandoned.

“We stood by the network. We defended it. We cried with everyone. But when we needed the same support, we didn’t always feel it,” he said.

He recalled how the hosts continued to work, often without proper compensation, pushing themselves to entertain the public during one of the darkest moments in Philippine broadcasting history.

“We were fighting for the brand, for the fans, for each other. But sometimes, it felt like the people who should have backed us the most… stayed quiet.”

Clashes Behind the Scenes

Vice also admitted that there were numerous creative disagreements between the Showtime team and ABS-CBN’s upper management.

“There were times when they wanted to change the format, remove segments, silence certain voices,” he shared. “They said it was to make the show ‘more marketable’ — but what they really wanted was to make it less controversial.”

He didn’t specify names, but his words hinted at censorship and pressure from executives to dilute the show’s identity — something Vice said went against the very spirit of It’s Showtime.

“We’re not robots. We’re artists. And when you silence creativity, you kill the soul of a show,” he emphasized.

MTRCB Controversies and Lack of Support

Vice also addressed past controversies with the MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board), particularly those targeting his humor and language.

“When I was being dragged online, when complaints were filed, where was the support?” he asked. “The silence was louder than the noise.”

He revealed that some members of management allegedly distanced themselves from him during these times, out of fear of political backlash.

“I protected the network with my whole heart. I expected them to protect us too — but we were left to fight alone.”

Netizens React: Anger, Pain, and Loyalty

Within minutes of the livestream, hashtags like #JusticeForShowtime, #IStandWithVice, and #ProtectOurHosts began trending on X (formerly Twitter).

Fans were stunned and furious.

“They carried ABS-CBN during its darkest days. And this is how they were treated?” one tweet read.

Another posted: “We were always told ‘Kapamilya forever’ — but where’s the family when it matters?”

Even longtime supporters of the network expressed disappointment.

“I love ABS-CBN, but if Vice’s revelations are true, then some people in management need to be held accountable,” wrote one Facebook user.

Fellow Hosts and Celebrities Speak Out

Shortly after Vice’s livestream, It’s Showtime co-hosts including Jugs Jugueta, Karylle, and Anne Curtis posted cryptic messages of solidarity.

Anne tweeted, “When someone you love is hurting, you hurt too.”

Jugs wrote, “Not all battles are fought on stage. Some are behind closed doors.”

Fans interpreted these posts as silent confirmations of Vice’s claims.

Meanwhile, other celebrities like Kim Chiu and Angel Locsin reposted clips of Vice’s speech, with messages of support.

ABS-CBN Responds — But Is It Enough?

Hours later, ABS-CBN released a brief statement:

“We are aware of the concerns raised and are committed to having internal discussions to address them. We value our artists and thank them for their continued dedication.”

The statement was met with mixed reactions. Many fans saw it as vague and insufficient.

“They’ve said nothing. No accountability. No names. Just corporate spin,” one user commented.

A Bigger Conversation: Respecting Artists

Vice’s emotional confession has sparked a deeper conversation about how networks treat their talents — especially those who bring in massive ratings, ad revenue, and public support.

“We put on a show every day — laughing, dancing, smiling. But behind the curtain, we bleed,” Vice said tearfully. “We deserve more than applause. We deserve respect.”

His message resonates not just with It’s Showtime fans but with countless creatives across the industry who feel overworked, underpaid, and unprotected.

What’s Next for Vice and It’s Showtime?

Despite the pain, Vice made one thing clear: he’s not giving up on It’s Showtime.

“I love the show. I love the fans. I love the people I work with. That’s why I’m speaking now — so it doesn’t get worse.”

But he did leave the door open for change.

“If it reaches a point where I feel like my voice is no longer welcome… then maybe it’s time for a new stage.”

The possibility of Vice leaving the show has sent fans into panic mode, with petitions and hashtags begging him to stay.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Vice Ganda’s bombshell revelation has not only shaken the foundations of ABS-CBN but also sparked a nationwide conversation on transparency, artist rights, and loyalty.

Whether this leads to real change within the network remains to be seen — but one thing is certain:

Vice Ganda has once again proven that he’s more than a comedian, more than an entertainer — he is a fearless voice for truth, justice, and self-worth.

And the nation is listening.
