Vice Ganda, a prominent television host and comedian, has shared his thoughts on the recent news about ABS-CBN selling a portion of its property, including the studio that has been a significant part of the network’s legacy. The statement from Vice Ganda quickly made its rounds on social media, sparking discussions among fans, employees, and fellow celebrities.

In a recent episode of It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda addressed the issue during a live broadcast. He mentioned the decision to sell part of ABS-CBN’s property, which had been a topic of concern for many following the network’s financial struggles and challenges over the past few years. Vice Ganda’s emotional response resonated with viewers, especially those who have grown up watching the iconic shows and productions created within the studio.

“Kasama itong studio na ‘to,” Vice Ganda remarked, referring to the ABS-CBN building and the studio where It’s Showtime is filmed. He continued, expressing how much the space has meant to the network’s employees and artists, as well as its loyal audience. The comment highlighted the deep emotional connection that Vice and many others have to the ABS-CBN property, especially considering the history and memories associated with the studio.

The sale of ABS-CBN’s property comes as the company navigates through the aftermath of the network’s franchise denial and other financial hurdles. The company has been exploring various options, including downsizing and selling assets, in an effort to recover from the impact of these challenges. The news of selling part of the property struck a chord, especially because the studio has served as the birthplace of numerous popular shows, including It’s Showtime, The Voice Philippines, and Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, among many others.

Vice Ganda, who has been a major part of ABS-CBN’s programming for years, did not hide his sentimental attachment to the network. “This is not just a studio, it’s where we’ve made a lot of people happy, where we’ve built lasting memories. Para sa amin, itong lugar na ‘to, buhay na,” he added. His words echoed the feelings of many in the ABS-CBN family, who see the studio not just as a work environment but as a place that has shaped careers and created joy for millions of viewers.

Despite the sadness surrounding the sale, Vice Ganda also showed understanding, acknowledging the reality of the network’s current situation and the need for change in order to secure the future. He offered his support to the management’s decisions, recognizing that these are necessary steps for the network to continue moving forward.

“Alam kong mahirap para sa lahat, pero we just have to stay strong and supportive,” Vice Ganda said, encouraging his fellow Kapamilya stars and fans to remain optimistic about the future. He also reminded viewers that the network’s resilience will continue to shine through despite the challenges they are facing.

The sale of part of ABS-CBN’s property is a significant moment for the company, marking the end of an era in many ways. However, Vice Ganda’s comments served as a reminder that, while the physical space may be changing, the spirit and legacy of ABS-CBN will live on through its shows, its stars, and its loyal audience.

As Vice Ganda put it, “Walang makakatalo sa pagkakaibigan at pagmamahal ng mga Kapamilya.” The emotional attachment to ABS-CBN remains strong, and no matter where the network goes, its connection with its viewers and stars will persist, even as the company evolves and adapts to a new reality.
