Josh Mercado</div>MANILA -- Before joining the country&#x27;s noontime show &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime,&quot; Marco Sison had never met its lead host, Vice Ganda, or ran into her at a showbiz event. Of course, he&#x27;d hear Vice&#x27;s name, but that was about it.Sison then received a call to judge its popular segment &quot;Tawag ng Tanghalan&quot; and was moved by Vice&#x27;s friendliness and generosity not just to him but also to the rest of the team.“Nung naghurado na ako, mas nakilala ko siya. Mabait pala. Tapos mahilig siyang tumulong. Ako, lagi akong may extra seconds sa TV. Tapos ‘pag nagko-comment ako, parati siyang nagpa-follow up. Siguro, depende ‘yun sa kino-comment ko. Matulungin siya talaga without him knowing it. May ganoon siyang character,” the OPM legend told ABS-CBN news.“Siguro nga dahil grateful siya sa mga nangyayari sa kanya,” he added.Sison also revealed how he persuaded the Kapamilya superstar to take part in his concert, which will take place on July 25 at the Theatre at Solaire.“On the spot tapos tsinek lang niya ‘yung schedule niya. Actually, may concert siya with Regine (Velasquez) pero nag-yes pa rin siya. Talagang sobrang helpful niya and ‘Showtime’ kapag may mga ipro-promote ako,” he shared with ABS-CBN News.<div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1752622833146image2.jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>OPM singer Marco Sison. Josh Mercado</div>Praising the Unkabogable Superstar, the OPM icon added, “Ganoon silang lahat (‘Showtime’ team). Siguro kasi ganoon ang nakikita nila sa leader nila, which is si Vice. Kung ano ‘yung ugali ng leader, nahahawa ‘yung mga kasama.”Sison also recounted being asked to dance on the spot on &quot;Showtime,&quot; which was his first time dancing live on television. The video gets millions of views on all social media platforms.“May mga nagawa lang ako noon na hindi naman akalain ng mga tao na kaya kong gawin. Na-on the spot ako. ‘Yung pinasayaw nila ako nang pinasayaw pero 23 million views ‘yun ah. So, sabi ni Jackie, ‘Sir Marco, sa akin ka sumunod kasi hindi mahirap na step ang gagawin mo.’ Pero Diyos ko, puro mahirap na step. Alam mo ‘yung ganun, ‘yung kakaiba. So, ‘yun,” he shared with ABS-CBN News.On July 25, Sison will be joined by Nonoy Zuñiga, Martin Nievera, and Rey Valera in addition to the comedy superstar.The &quot;Seasons of OPM&quot; concert, which is being produced by Echo Jham Entertainment, will be Sison&#x27;s tribute to his late friends Rico Puno and Hajji Alejandro and Original Pilipino Music.“This is my major solo concert. I want to show the excellence of the music industry to the Gen Z consumers. To be honest, the Gen Z market is eager to learn about the older songs. It amazed me that people were listening to the songs I was performing when I played at an event with primarily young audiences. I was somewhat anxious at first. I had never experienced such pressure in front of a young crowd before,” he admitted.Tickets for &quot;Seasons of OPM&quot; are available from Ticket World and Solaire.

Marco Sison also revealed how he persuaded the Kapamilya superstar to take part in his concert, which will take place on July 25 at the Theatre at Solaire.
