Vice Ganda could not seem to contain his delight after he received birthday greetings from “Eat Bulaga” hosts Joey de Leon, Maja Salvador, Paolo Ballesteros and Jose Manalo, among others.
The hosts, including Ryan Agoncillo and Wally Bayola, greeted the “It’s Showtime” mainstay during the opening spiels of the country’s longest-running noontime show on Friday, March 31.
“Last day na ng March. Birthday ng nanay ko ngayon. Birthday din ni Vice Ganda ata,” De Leon said, to which his co-hosts followed with greetings. (It’s the last day of March. It’s my mother’s birthday today. I believe Vice Ganda is also celebrating his birthday today.)
“Happy birthday!” De Leon continued, looking at the camera.
“Yan bang si Vice tatakbo ng mayor sa susunod na ano? Ay hindi, hindi (Will [Vice Ganda] run for mayor in the next elections? Oh, I think not),” Manalo then joked. “Hi, Vice! Happy birthday!”
