FOR the first time, Pepito Manaloto stars Michael V and Manilyn Reynes graced the stage of the noontime variety show It’s Showtime.
The Kapuso artists made a special appearance on Saturday, August 19, as part of singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid’s 56th birthday celebration.
Manilyn recalled the moment when she and the singer worked together in writing the hit song, “Pangako” while Bitoy had a duet performance of “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang.”
This also marked the reunion of Michael V. and Ogie who was a cast member of the gag show, Bubble Gang before the latter moved to the Kapamilya network in 2016. The two considered each other best friends in the showbiz industry.
“Mula na pumasok ko sa industriya, parang kami na yung magkasama ni Ogie sa OctoArts,” recounted Bitoy. “Kaming tatlo, actually.”
Bitoy and Ogie also treated the madlang pipol with a performance of their Yaya and Angelina characters.
On the other hand, Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda also grabbed the opportunity to interact with the multi-talented comedian and shared their photo on her Instagram, with whom she described Bitoy as “ICON”.
Last month, the two comedians both expressed their hopes to work on a project together.
Vice Ganda mentioned during a past interview that it was her dream to become one of the guests of Bubble Gang.
“Dream ko iyan dati, ‘yung Bubble Gang,” Vice Ganda said.
Meanwhile, Bitoy said that he also looked forward to working with the Kapamilya comedian.
“Ako, in a heartbeat, gagawin ko kung walang magiging aberya. In a heartbeat, gi-guest ko talaga siya,” he stated.
“Sana nga. I’m hoping. Si Vice Ganda is open to collaboration. The last time we met, the last time na nagkausap kami, lagi niyang sinasabi, ‘sana makapag-guest ako sa Bubble Gang, ‘no?’ Sana. Sana,” he added.
