In celebration of “Showtime Online U’s” 8th anniversary, Vice Ganda extended his well-wishes to its former host, Ana Ramsey, who is now part of Willie Revillame’s variety show “Wil to Win.”

Vice Ganda expressed his gratitude to the SOU hosts after their production number on the noontime show on Monday, Aug. 19, saying the latter also serves as inspiration to the main hosts.

“Malaking bagay ang ginagawa niyo sa amin to keep the audiences online, hindi umalis ‘pag commercial break… Malaking bagay ang nanonood sa atin online at kayo ang nagki-keep no’n,” Vice Ganda said.

“Tinutulungan niyo ang programang ito na mabuhay. Sa maraming pagkakataon ng paghihingalo, nandyan kayo kahit hindi gano’ng kalaki ang sweldo,” he continued.

Vice Ganda then addressed the pioneer SOU hosts including Ramsey. Ramsey left the show last May, months before “Wil to Win” premiered on TV5 in July.

“Sa inyong lahat, sa mga nagsimula, kay Ana Ramsey, maraming maraming salamat. You’ve been so good. Ang galing-galing mo kaya magpakagaling ka d’yan, at papalakpakan ka namin. We are rooting for you, Ana Ramsey,” Vice Ganda said.

Ramsey, in turn, dedicated greetings to the SOU hosts via her X page, sending her love to Vice Ganda for his kind words.

 

“Sa ‘Showtime Online U’ host [at sa mga] bumubuo ng ‘It’s Showtime,’ binabati ko po kayo ng happy anniversary. Salamat for thinking of me on this special day,” she said.

“Kapamilya man o Kapatid, isa lang naman ang gusto natin—ang makapagpasaya ng bawat Pilipino saan mang sulok ng mundo,” she added. “Maraming salamat po. I love you, Meme. I love you all.”
