Janella Salvador expressed her gratitude to fans who defended her after she trended due to her “paos ako, kayo na lang” (my voice is hoarse, you do it instead) remark on “It’s Showtime” which led to her being called “rude” by others.
On X (formerly Twitter), without directly mentioning the incident, the singer-actress remarked that the last thing she would want to do was be “rude or disrespectful” to anyone and thanked the fans who explained on her behalf.
“Oh wow. I’ve been meaning to explain myself because the last thing I would ever want is to appear rude or disrespectful… and here I am being met with so much love and comfort upon opening this app. Thank you. It makes me happy to know that there are many people out there who know my heart and what I stand for. Hugs of gratitude (from behind),” she wrote.

Salvador made a guest appearance on “It’s Showtime” on Tuesday, April 2, to promote her movie “Under the Parallel Skies” with Thai actor Win Metawin. Co-host Kim Chiu asked the “Killer Bride” actress to do a “sample” of Salvador’s new song which she was also promoting along with her upcoming concert.
However, the singer-actress remarked that her voice was not in good condition and said, “Medyo paos ako today, kayo na lang. Next time, promise.” (My voice is hoarse today; you guys do it instead.) Chiu was seen slightly embarrassed after the exchange.
Vice Ganda seemingly threw a shade on Salvador after he repeated the statement on the show’s segment “EXpecially for You,” when a contestant also didn’t want to do a “sample.” Some netizens online said they did not appreciate the comedian-host’s gesture to put Salvador “in a bad light.”
“It’s Showtime” hosts have yet to speak up about the matter.

That was honestly so low and unprofessional of Vice to pull a stunt like that. Hindi niya naisip na lalabas silang toxic at bully sa mga guest. Wala namang masama doon sa sinabi ni Janella like for real. It was just taken out of context. https://t.co/w5z2SAXPZ0

After the announcement, the “Mallari” actress took to her Instagram story to share that her son, Jude, was hospitalized due to asthma, and asked fans for their understanding.
“Asthma sucks. The past 48 hours have been such a nightmare but I’m positive my brave boy will bounce back stronger than ever, in no time,” she wrote. “[I] would have really loved to see you all at the mall shows today. [I] hope you understand,”
