Here’s the reason behind the absence of Vice Ganda on the Kapamilya noontime show
Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda shared the reason why he was absent from It’s Showtime for over a month.
Vice is the main host of the Kapamilya noontime show. This was the reason why netizens and avid viewers of the show noticed his long absence. Some speculations surfaced about this.
Just recently, the comedian-host addressed this matter, days after his return on April 17, 2026, based on the article in PEP.
Vice Ganda admitted that he would be crazy not being on the show, and because of this, he decided to go back to work even though he was advised to take a rest because of what happened to him.
“Nababaliw ako pag wala ako sa Showtime, e. Hindi pa dapat ako babalik pero kailangan ko nang bumalik, kasi sabi ko, I’ll go crazy,” Vice enthused.
He didn’t want to tell the story because he felt that it was a “cheap” reason, which was his injury.
“Hindi…. na-injure yung right foot ko. Ahhh, may tumubong hindi ko alam… dahil sa ilang taon ko nang paghi-heels, may tumubo dito sa buto sa hinlalaki sa ilalim na [foot] corn, parang nagkakalyo siya something. Tapos nung nadapa ako nung ilang buwan na nakakaraan, parang na-bruise siya,” he revealed.
When he went to the hospital, he was told that he needed therapy because that part was traumatized. However, the comedian-host didn’t get the therapy he needed.
His condition worsened, so he went to Singapore to get checked. However, he kept on wearing heels, which even worsened his condition. It was bruised and swollen. Vice couldn’t walk already because of that.
“Ta’s, una akala ko gout. So, umiinom kami ng pang-gout, hindi siya nawawala. Di ba, yung gout parang two days, three days, wala na siya? Tumagal siya ng isang linggo, dalawang linggo, hanggang sa nag-isang buwan na siyang namamaga,” he shared.
The comedian-host said that it doesn’t hurt, but he can’t step on it. “So, nagpunta ako ng Singapore, nagpa-check up ako. Iyon yung nakita. Natakot ako, akala ko… ano ba ito? Bakit isang buwan na siya, tapos hindi siya nawawala, as in lumaki yung buong paa ko. Kaya hindi ko nilalabas kasi ang cheap, ang pangit,” Vice Ganda shared.
Somehow, he is relieved that it was not that serious and that it was handled eventually.
