<p>Host Vice Ganda was extremely happy as another milestone for <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime"><em><strong>It’s Showtime </strong></em></a>was reached after ABS-CBN and GMA inked a partnership deal for the noontime show.</p><p>In an interview during the contract signing event at GMA Studio 7 in Kamuning, Quezon City, the Unkabogable Star expressed gratitude as the show has found another home, reaching more Madlang Pipol and Madlang Kapuso.</p><p>“This is overwhelming. Super, super overwhelming. Kagabi pa lang hindi na ako makatulog, paikot-ikot ako, ang aga ko nagising. Grabe yung excitement and anticipation. Ang saya lang. Sobrang naappreciate ko lang kasi yung resulta, yung pag-uusap nila, ang sarap lang noong ganoon,” he expressed.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4uxU8lPqP8/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A605825.4000000954%2C%22ls%22%3A605054.3000001907%2C%22le%22%3A605774.3000001907%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>He also added: “We are just so grateful. My heart is full of joy and gratitude. Maraming salamat sa GMA!”</p><p>Vice also shared in an interview with MJ Felipe how he initially thought of the possibility of another partnership between two of the biggest media and entertainment companies in the country for It’s Showtime.</p><p>“I never imagined this to be possible until we were welcomed sa GTV. The moment we were welcomed sa GTV, sabi ko, ‘Ay parang ang laki ng possibilities.&#x27; Nabuksan siya sa isip ko pero hindi ko siya masyadong inentertain kasi ang daming present challenges (that time) na kailangan magfocus doon so hindi muna ako lumayo,” he recalled.</p><p>He went on: “Minamanifest ko rin naman. I would be very honest, minamanifest ko rin naman kasi siyempre kailangan namin ng suporta at matutuluyan kasi kahit anong saya ng pamilya kung wala ka namang tahanan o matutuluyan.”</p><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" style="position:static;visibility:visible;width:550px;height:720px;display:block;flex-grow:1" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1770373849332482347&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aent-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2024-03-20T16%3A32%3A29.401322%3A6bb87bc0-55c6-4c0a-872b-b22a656e63ad%26action%3Dedit&amp;sessionId=ca7fe4f955b34bc4ef47f97d9486ecc4630a85af&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" data-tweet-id="1770373849332482347"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><p>The Kapamilya star then added that he realized how massive and transformative the challenges that they have faced have been in the past years.</p><p>“Iba ang misteryo ng Diyos.
