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.

“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.”
