The actress replied, “I totally disagree. If one is truly smart, they can adapt to any environment. I always have the best time when I’m on showtime. I genuinely love talking to people and making them laugh and I am self-deprecating enough to be laughed at too so it goes both ways.”

“Bela Padilla should be a regular at It’s Showtime. Hindi lang dapat si Vice magdadala ng utak at sense sa mga bagaybagay (It’s not only Vice who should bring brains and sense to things). Bela will always be Bela—smart and making sense. Bagay siya sa episode dahil sa pagiging Hugot Queen niya, as a mapakanakit (she is suitable for the episode because of her being the Hugot Queen, as someone who speaks harsh but honest words),” said one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
