It was an unforgettable 48th birthday celebration for Vice Ganda whose special day was filled with love from his “It’s Showtime” co-hosts and even a mythical-inspired photoshoot.
Vice Ganda was transported to a pink magical wonderland surrounded by flowers. The host-comedian was donning a ruffled mini dress, tulle arm warmers, a headpiece with tulle and flowers, and fairy wings to match the concept, as seen on his Instagram page on Sunday, March 31.
Celebrity stylist Aaron Mangsat, hairstylist R Rodriguez, and makeup artist Jelly Eugenio brought Vice Ganda’s magical look. The photos were taken by photographer BJ Pascual while Vince Uy served as the creative director.
The “It’s Showtime” host also shared an accompanying video of his birthday photoshoot in a separate post.
“Mothering video tutorial from the unkabogable mother of mothering! Daming mother! Waaaah,” he wrote.
Messages of love
Aside from the comments in his post, Vice Ganda received messages from his partner Ion Perez and other “It’s Showtime” co-hosts.
Perez, who shared photos of himself with the “Praybeyt Benjamin” star on a swing on Instagram, said their love for each other trumps “all wrongs”
“Tulad ng sinabi ko dati maraming rason ang TAMA para maging MALI pero ang pag mamahal ko sayo kahit KAILAN walang rason para maging MALI. Happy birthday mybestfriend mysoulmate mybabe my WIFE I LOVE YOU MOST,” he wrote.
(As I told you, there are many reasons for rights to be wrong. But my love for you will never have a reason to be wrong. Happy birthday, my best friend, my soulmate, my babe, and my wife. I love you most.)
Meanwhile, Anne Curtis took to her Instagram Story to express her love for Vice Ganda.
“I’m still going to post this photo na ang ganda mo. Hindi halata na 50 ka na,” she wrote in apparent jest. “Happy birthday my sisterette. I love you so much.”

Itchyworms lead singer Jugs Jugueta described the actor-comedian as the “mother of all mothering mothers” in a separate post.
“Happy happy birthday to the mother of all mothering mothers, Ate @praybeytbenjamin!!! Enjoy your day,” he wrote.
“Mothering” is a slang term often used to describe a favorite female or gay person doing an amazing thing.
The ABS-CBN noontime show will broadcast its first episode under GMA’s umbrella starting April 6, taking over the slot vacated by the TAPE-produced “Tahanang Pinakamasaya.”
