Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda seemed shocked on an episode of “It’s Showtime” when he was introduced to a Kalokalike contestant, Ryan Perez, who was said to be imitating the character Dao Ming Si from the popular teleserye Meteor Garden.

In the latest episode of “It’s Showtime” that aired on Wednesday, September 11, Vice Ganda shared his reaction when a contestant was introduced who was impersonating Dao Ming Si. This Kalokalike contestant appeared on stage with moves and style that resembled the famous character played by Jerry Yan on the show.

After his introduction to the studio audience, Vice Ganda, who is known for his witty remarks, immediately gave his comment. “Ang taas ng trip ni Diwata,” Vice Ganda jokingly stated, seemingly emphasizing the unbelievable or strange aspect of the contestant’s character’s acceptance.

Vice’s co-host, Vhong Navarro, soon responded. “That’s not him,” Vhong said while referring to the Tao Ming Si look-alike. “That’s Dao Ming Si.” This statement made it clear that the studio audience recognized the contestant’s portrayal, and proved that he truly intended to resemble the famous character.

But the fun part was when the Kalokalike contestant not only showed off his physical resemblance, but also his talent by singing the original soundtrack of Meteor Garden. Showing off his acting and singing skills drew a deeper reaction from the hosts and audience.

Because of this, Vice Ganda made a joke that seemed to reflect his amazement and confusion at the situation. “You know, in times like these, it’s not MTRCB that’s calling us. It’s PDEA.” His joke seemed to show extreme surprise at the contestant’s performance and a glimpse at the possibility that his talent might be against regulations, in a playful way.

Vhong Navarro also gave advice to the contestant, stating that in case she does not become the grand winner, there is still a chance for her to continue as a Kalokalike of Diwata. Vhong’s message seemed to give hope and continued support for the contestant, even if she does not become the favorite in the competition.

In discussing the character of Diwata, who is a well-known social media personality and owner of a business that is achieving great success, the reference to Diwata reflects the continued rise of social media influencers and people with online fame. Their products and businesses are garnering a high level of attention and support from the public, which seems to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

Overall, this episode of “It’s Showtime” provided a unique experience for viewers, not only with the appearance of Kalokalike contestant Ryan Perez but also with the expressions of hosts like Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro. Their reactions and jokes added fun to the program and emphasized the dynamic and unpredictable nature of live television.
