“It’s Showtime” sparks buzz again with skit fans say mirrors Senate viral moment.
Noontime program “It’s Showtime” once again trended online after netizens noticed what appeared to be a subtle political reference during a comedy segment inspired by “Goin’ Bulilit.”
The viral scene featured hosts chasing Jugs Jugueta around the set in a comedic “habulan.”
Viewers were particularly amused when Jugs suddenly tripped on the stairs while being chased, followed by a dramatic black-and-white color grading that resembled CCTV footage—something many online users immediately associated with the recently circulated clips involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa running in the Senate premises.
