It was last July 1 when ABS-CBN and GMA finally shattered their so-called “network war” that spanned decades, after the latter – in a really unforeseen yet delighting turn of events – provided <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> an extension of their home by allowing its broadcast through its sister channel <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime/articles-photos/in-photos-abs-cbn-at-gma-pumirma-ng-kasunduan-para-sa-pag-ere-ng-its-showtime-sa-gtv-16295">GTV at its noontime slot. </a>And since then, what used to be impossible has eventually become possible as a few Kapuso stars have already graced the program and even showed the madlang people what they’ve got through their remarkable production numbers. And in this episode of Kapamilya Toplist, let us look back on the unforgettable appearances of GMA artists on the well-loved noontime program!<div>Rodjun Cruz, Rayver Cruz, Pokwang, Barbie Forteza</div>Just on the very first day of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> on GTV, viewers were indeed treated to a huge and spectacular opening number featuring the gregarious hosts, Kapamilya stars and a few celebrities from the Kapuso network. Apart from performing onstage together, the hosts also gave brothers Rodjun and Rayver Cruz, Pokwang, and Barbie Forteza the opportunity to exclaim the show’s trademark greeting “What’s up, madlang people!” with all their might. Sanya Lopez, Christian Bautista, and Mark Bautista partook in the party, too!<div>Julie Ann San Jose</div>Two weeks later, it was the Asia’s Limitless Star turn to entertain the Kapamilya and Kapuso audiences by performing the popular Korean pop hit “Cupid” by Fifty Fifty alongside the show’s very own girl group Baby Dolls.
