Kapuso stars Michael V. and Manilyn Reynes delighted the Madlang People after the actors graced the “It’s Showtime” stage and performed with their longtime friend, show host Ogie Alcasid.
In the Aug. 19 episode of the noontime show, Alcasid sang his OPM hit songs “Pangako,” “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang” and “Dito sa Puso Ko” with Reynes and Michael V. during the singer-songwriter’s production number for his upcoming birthday.
Alcasid’s fellow hosts including Vice Ganda, Kim Chiu, Vhong Navarro, Karylle and Jugs Jugueta were also surprised by their celebrity guests, saying that Alcasid kept it secret from them.
“For the very first time, nandito sa ‘Showtime’ sina Manilyn and Michael V.!” Vice Ganda said. “Ang galing. Nakakanganga.” (For the very first time, Manilyn and Michael V. are here on “It’s Showtime”! It’s amazing. I’m in awe.)
Alcasid, Reynes and Michael V. then looked back on their fondest memories of each other, including how they started their decades-long friendships. Reynes then turned emotional as she shared her birthday wish for Alcasid.
“Ogs, sana i-bless pa ni God yung kind heart mo kasi hindi lang naman yung mga taong katrabaho mo yung natutulungan mo,” the veteran actress told him. “Alam kong marami pang tao kayong natutulungan mag-asawa. Tuloy-tuloy n’yo lang po yun.”
(Ogs, I hope God blesses your kind heart more because I know that you and your wife extend help not just to your colleagues but to other people as well. Continue doing that.)
Michael V., for his part, said: “Ang wish ko para kay Ogie [ay] better health para mas tumagal pa yung career niya dito sa industry. Tapos better relationship with his wife [Regine Velasquez] and of course, inner peace.”
(My wish for Ogie is better health so that he can continue his career in the showbiz industry for a long time. Also, I wish for him to have a better relationship with his wife Regine Velasquez and, of course, inner peace.)
Prior to Michael V. and Reynes, a lot of Kapuso stars have already appeared on “It’s Showtime” since the noontime show’s pilot episode on GMA’s GTV channel. /ra
