MANILA, Philippines — An unforgettable storm of emotions swept through the “It’s Showtime” stage as young stars Jaze and Kulot moved the nation to tears during a heart-melting moment in the Showing Bulilit segment — reminding everyone to appreciate the pure hearts of children while they still can!

What started as a fun, lively afternoon quickly transformed into an emotional rollercoaster as Jaze and Kulot — two of the most beloved “It’s Showtime” Bulilit talents — bared their hearts live on national TV. With innocent but piercing words, they delivered a powerful message that brought even the toughest of audiences to tears.

“Let’s appreciate them while they’re still here,” Jaze said, his voice trembling as he glanced at Kulot, whose wide eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “Hindi habang buhay nandito kami. Sana mahalin n’yo kami habang kami’y bata pa, habang kaya pa naming ngumiti.”

Those simple yet soul-stirring words struck a chord deep within every heart present.

STUDIO STOPS BREATHING AS EMOTIONS EXPLODE

The moment Jaze’s voice cracked with emotion, a wave of silence enveloped the entire studio. Vice Ganda, known for his quick wit, was rendered speechless, tears glistening in his eyes as he struggled to contain the flood of emotions.

Anne Curtis pressed her hands against her chest, visibly moved, while Vhong Navarro and Kim Chiu were caught wiping tears from their faces. Even the production staff behind the cameras were seen dabbing their eyes, overcome by the sudden emotional eruption.

And then, the dam broke. Kulot, trying to stay strong beside Jaze, finally let the tears fall — an innocent, heartbreaking sight that shattered whatever emotional barriers still remained in the studio.
