Vice Ganda on rumored boyfriend Ion Perez

IT’S Showtime host Vice Ganda wouldn’t want to comment on the real status of his relationship with Ion Perez.

At the 10th anniversary presscon of It’s Showtime on Monday, Vice was asked to spill the beans regarding him and Ion. Vice said he is elated that a lot of people are happy that he has a love life. But all he can say is that he is happy and he would like to thank those who expressed happiness regarding the state of his love life.

Of course, Vice is also thankful that “It’s Showtime” is marking its 10th anniversary. He said that he and his co-hosts, plus the production team, are thankful to reach such milestone. He recalled the time he sought leave from the show as he is getting burnt out. But he was not permitted by management to resign so he asked to be given a rest instead. As such, he went on a concert tour.

But Vice missed the show.

“I am also happy with the friendship that we have developed among the hosts. We are like one big family and we look forward to seeing each other every day,” he said. “If it may seem that we have tampuhan, it’s but natural among friends but we always patch up our differences.” Vice Ganda and Ion Perez

“It’s Showtime” brings its biggest anniversary celebration to date called “Sampu Sample,” a year-long festival of surprises that marks the program’s ten years of making Filipinos happy and invites all madlang people to not just have fun but also help in taking care of the environment and making a difference.

First of the ten surprises is the hosts’ annual Magpasikat competition this October, featuring the following groups: Anne Curtis, Amy Perez, and Bidaman Top 6; Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, ‘ Ate Girl’ Jackie, Ion, and Stephen; Karylle, Ryan Bang, and GT; Vice Ganda and the Top 3 queens of “Miss Q & A’s” two seasons; and Vhong Navarro, Mariel Rodriguez, and Hashtags.

Each group’s Magpasikat performance is required to bring together ten dozen or 120 madlang people — ordinary Kapamilyas and not celebrities — and be given a chance to shine on national television.
