Charo Santos, Vince Maristela meet at Mega Ball after name mix-up
GMA actor Vince Maristela quipped that he had already made amends with ABS-CBN executive Charo Santos after they crossed paths at the recently held Mega Ball.
Maristela earlier had an appearance at the “Laro Laro Pick” segment of the noontime program “It’s Showtime,” where he was asked to name the host of the drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya.” However, instead of Santos, Maristela answered her fellow ABS-CBN executive Cory Vidanes.
Santos played along and jokingly remarked about summoning the actor to her office.
“Good morning. Bati na po kami hehe,” Maristela said, showing photos of him and the veteran actress-host at the 2026 Mega Ball.
He also congratulated Santos for receiving the Mega Global Icon award.
“Thank you for inspiring many generations of artists. A legend. An icon,” he added.
