Vice Ganda promises to be a strict judge on 'PGT'

MANILA -- Comedian Vice Ganda is "super ready" for his latest role -- as one of the judges in the latest season of "Pilipinas Got Talent"

In an interview on Tuesday, Vice Ganda admitted that he will be a strict judge on the show, which will air its fifth season later this month.

"Ang tagal na din akong napapanood na mag-judge ng mga tao. Siyempre ang laki din ng pa-premyo nila -- P2 milyon -- hindi ba? Gusto kong maging deserving ito. Ayaw kong maging 'Pilipinas Got Awa' lang itong palabas natin. Gusto ko talagang talento, deserving. Talagang lahat ng makakapanood ay magde-desisyon na tama 'yung napili namin at lahat ay mapapa-clap champion," he said.

But the "It's Showtime" host said he also wants acts that will touch his heart.

"Ang isang act na makaka-affect sa akin, yung mata-touch niya and puso ko, mata-touch niya ang kaluluwa ko, hindi lang yung mabubusog ang mata ko at tenga ko," he said.

Vice Ganda said he's also excited to work with his fellow judges: Angel Locsin, Robin Padilla and former ABS-CBN president Freddie Garcia.

"Si FMG sa totoong buhay siya ang pinaka-strict kasi star builder siya, star maker siya, so iba ang mata niya. Alam niya kung sino ang may potential, kung sino 'yung kakaiba ang value ng talent," the comedian said.

"Si Robin, masang-masa ang puso ni Robin. Si Robin ang pinaka-brusko sa lahat pero parang siya ang pinakamalambot ang puso. Si Angel, masu-surprise ka kasi parang ang sweet-sweet pero strikta din. Ako naman playtime pa din lagi pero siyempre kailangang deserving pa din ang mapipili."
