LUMUHA ANG BUONG ‘IT’S SHOWTIME’! Biglaang PAG-ALIS ng Isa sa Kanila, NAGPAGULAT sa Lahat — TUNAY na Dahilan, NAKAKAKILABOT!

Isang emosyonal na eksena ang naganap kamakailan sa noontime show na It’s Showtime matapos ang hindi inaasahang pag-alis ng isa sa mga paboritong miyembro ng programa. Sa gitna ng tawanan at kasiyahan, biglang naging seryoso ang mood sa studio nang in-announce ang desisyon ng isa sa mga host na lumisan—at ang tunay na dahilan sa likod nito ay masalimuot, nakakakilabot, at labis na nakakaiyak.

😱 Ang Pag-alis na Walang Babala

Walang sinuman ang nakahanda para sa biglaan at live na anunsyo. Habang nagsasagawa ng closing segment ang buong cast, tumayo ang host na ito, namumugto ang mata at nanginginig ang tinig, at sinabing:

“Ito na po siguro ang tamang panahon para ako’y magpaalam…”

Nagulat ang lahat. Maging ang co-hosts gaya nina Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, at Vhong Navarro ay hindi agad nakapagsalita. Ramdam na ramdam sa studio ang tensyon at lungkot habang unti-unting lumuluha ang bawat isa.

💔 Behind-the-Scenes: Matagal na Palang Pinag-iisipan

Ayon sa isang source na malapit sa production team ng It’s Showtime, matagal nang nagkakaroon ng matinding emotional stress ang host na ito. Hindi umano ito simpleng career move lang—may mas malalim na dahilan sa likod ng kanyang desisyon.

“Nakaranas siya ng anxiety at burnout. Lahat akala masaya lang sa harap ng camera, pero hindi nila alam na halos gabi-gabi na siyang umiiyak sa bahay,” ayon sa insider.

Bukod pa rito, may mga bulung-bulungan na nagkaroon daw ng hindi pagkakaunawaan sa pagitan niya at ng ilang miyembro ng team—mga tensyon na hindi na naayos kahit sa mga off-cam meetings.

🧿 May Kinalaman ba ang Pamahiin at Masasamang Panaginip?

Ang lalong nakakakilabot? May ilang fans ang nagsabi sa social media na ilang araw bago ang biglaang pag-alis, napapansin na nilang tila “wala sa sarili” ang host. May isa pang insider na nagsabing:

“May mga panaginip daw siyang inuulit-ulit—madilim, may mga boses, at palaging may paalam. May nararamdaman daw siyang ‘masama’ pero hindi niya masabi kung ano.”

May ilang netizens na nagsabing baka ito ay babala o masamang pahiwatig. Dahil dito, may mga haka-haka na baka may spiritual o psychic reason sa likod ng biglaang pamamaalam.

😭 Vice Ganda, Hindi Na Napigilan ang Luha

Isa sa pinaka-emosyonal na reaksyon ay galing mismo kay Vice Ganda, na halos hindi makapagsalita sa gitna ng live segment.

“Ang hirap tanggapin… pero naiintindihan ko,” bulalas niya, habang yakap-yakap ang host na aalis. “Hindi madali ang ginagawa natin araw-araw, pero mas hindi madaling mawala ang isang taong minahal na namin parang kapamilya.”

Anne Curtis, na kilalang close rin sa nasabing host, ay tahimik lang at nakitang nakayuko habang umiiyak. Sa gitna ng tensyon, naging isang tahimik na sandali ng pagninilay ang programa—isang bihirang pangyayari sa isang masayahing show.

🧩 Sino nga ba ang Aalis?

Bagama’t hindi pa opisyal na pinapangalanan sa media, maraming netizens ang may hula kung sino ang host na ito. Trending ngayon sa X (Twitter) ang hashtags:
#ShowtimeGoodbye#WeWillMissYou, at #SalamatSaLahat.

May ilan ang nagsabing baka si Jugs Jugueta, dahil matagal na rin umano itong tahimik sa ilang episodes. May nagsabi rin na baka si Karylle, na ilang beses nang nababalitang may bagong proyekto sa ibang istasyon. Ngunit hanggang ngayon ay wala pang kumpirmasyon mula sa management.

📢 ABS-CBN Management, Nagsalita Na

Sa isang maikling pahayag ng ABS-CBN, sinabi ng network:

“Ang bawat miyembro ng It’s Showtime ay mahalaga sa amin. Respeto ang ibinibigay namin sa kanilang mga desisyon, lalo na kung ito’y para sa kanilang personal na kaligayahan at mental health. Ang aming suporta ay buong-buo.”

💬 Mga Reaksyon ng Netizens: “Parang Nawala ang Isang Pamilya”

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang mga netizens sa pagbuhos ng damdamin. Narito ang ilang trending comments online:

“Grabe, hindi ko kinaya yung iyak ni Vice. Ramdam mo talaga na may bigat ang nangyari.”
“Bakit parang may hindi sinasabi? May deeper reason to, for sure.”
“Hindi ko akalaing iiyak ako dahil lang sa isang TV show, pero parang nawalan talaga tayo ng isang pamilya.”

✨ Magbabalik pa ba siya?

Bagama’t hindi isinasara ng host ang pinto sa muling pagbabalik, sinabi niyang kailangan muna niya ng pahingaWalang kasiguraduhan kung kailan siya babalik—o kung babalik pa ba talaga.

“Paalam muna, pero hindi pa ‘to ang huling kwento ko. Kapag handa na ako, magpapaalala ako kung gaano ko kayo kamahal,” ang kanyang huling salita.

🙏 Isang Paalam na May Puno ng Luha, Pagmamahal, at Misteryo

Ang pag-alis ng host na ito ay nag-iwan ng marka hindi lamang sa kanyang mga kasamahan kundi pati na rin sa milyun-milyong Pilipinong sumusubaybay araw-araw. Isa itong paalala na kahit sa likod ng ngiti, may mga kwento tayong hindi agad nakikita.

At sa It’s Showtimehindi lang aliwan ang dala—kundi puso.
