"It's Showtime" Hosts Believe There is No Winning Formula for Winning "Magpasikat"


"It's Showtime" hosts share their thoughts on the Magpasikat performances citing that there is no formula for winning the annual competition and what matters most is making the madlang people happy.

The Phenomenal Unkabogable star Vice Ganda thinks that more than the nice concept, having luck is key to winning the Magpasikat.

"Parang wala namang formula. Bukod sa pahusayan, may kasama siyang swerte. Kasi minsan kahit ang husay-husay na ng mga kasama mo at kahit naghanda ka na, kapag minalas ka minalas ka," she said.

She then recalled the unfortunate incident during their performance, which might have prevented them from not winning in last year's Magpasikat.

"Just like what happened last year sa grupo namin. May nangyaring masama doon sa prod namin last year na hindi namin mapaliwanag paano nangyari pero wala kaming magagawa kundi tanggapin na minalas kami," she added.

Jhong, whose one win away from a grand slam in Magpasikat, said that the most important thing is that the madlang people understand the message they want to convey through their performances.

"Walang formula. Para sa akin more on mapasa yung mensahe ng performance. Bonus na lang kung mapili kang champion, pero para sa lahat sa amin rito meron kaming gustong ihatid na mensahe sa madlang people. Masaya kami kung nakuha nila yun kahit hindi manalo, " he shared.

For Ogie, as long as he gives his 100% best to his performance, he is already happy regardless of the result.

"Hindi naman talaga importante yun basta binigay mo yung best mo at hindi puchu-puchu yung ginawa mo. Basta pinaghirapan, pinag-isipan mo at piniga mo na lahat yung effort mong makapagbigay ng Magpasikat na worth the time ng madlang people yun ang importante, "Ogie answered.

The hosts also shared that the important lesson the Magpasikat has taught them was to accept defeat since they are all highly competitive individuals. They also said how they learned how to celebrate each other's wins.

Meanwhile, as they are about to showcase their Magpasikat 2024 performances in less than a week, the hosts teased their upcoming acts in one word.

Vhong joked about it as 'mas amazing," Kim said fearless, Karylle intrigued the media with 'piniga,' Ryan also said amazing, Jugs described it as cute, Darren uttered 'kakaiba,' Ion shared it as spectacular, Jackie described it as 'mabangis,' Cianne said 'wow,' while Lassy said 'stunning.'

This will also be the first time the annual Magpasikat performances will air on GMA. The hosts thanked the station, its bosses and the madlang Kapuso for their support in the show's 15th anniversary.

"Very happy and honored na nandito kami sa GMA. Ramdam na ramdam namin yung suporta at pagmamahal ng GMA. Every day nakikita namin na maligayang-maligaya ang mga Kapuso at sinasamahan din nila kami sa aming journey sa aming 15th year and sa mga susunod pang taon," Amy Perez said.

Don't miss "It's Showtime's" weeklong Magpasikat performances starting this October 21 (Monday), 12:00PM on A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, GMA, GTV, ABS-CBN Entertainment's YouTube channel and Facebook page, iWantTFC, TFC, and GMA Pinoy TV. The program's online show “Showtime Online U” is also available on It's Showtime's YouTube channel.

Meet the faces of Status:

The Blackmans

Let’s start the list with the bubbly and cutesy Blackman family! The Blackmans, comprising mom Jeraldine, dad Joshua, son Nimo, and daughter Jette, are TikTok sensations who rose to fame for their fun and heartwarming videos. Currently, they have 3.1 million followers and 135 million likes on TikTok, 3 million followers on Instagram, 3.7 million followers on Facebook, and half a million subscribers on YouTube!

The Blackmans are a multicultural family with the kids being half Filipino and half Australian. Given this, their videos reach the FilAus communities. Most of their content revolves around the reality and pureness of having a diverse family. Some videos feature Nimo and Jette’s reaction to being in the Philippines, Jette using the iconic Filipino slang, Nimo’s real-life experiences as a 6-year-old, and the married couple’s relationship with each other and their kids.

The Blackman family admits, “The reason our content is so relatable is ‘cause it’s based on things that actually happen in our married life and it’s just general things everyone has to go through if they get married and have kids.”

Our fans appreciated it and enjoyed our content so much that we just enjoy making more content for them. We’re very grateful to all our fans and subscribers,” they further shared.

Chef Ylyt

Next up on our list is sexy foodie Chef Ylyt Manaig a.k.a. Chef Ylyt. She’s a private chef, food content creator/vlogger, and a top TikTok Filipino educator who has amassed 376k followers and 2.5 million likes on TikTok, 246k followers on Instagram, and 506k followers on Facebook.

Chef Ylyt believes that anyone can cook, as does Chef Gusteau from the iconic animated film Ratatouille. Therefore, her content consists of easy-to-follow and affordable recipes and food and beverage recommendations that address concerns such as clear skin, hyperacidity, cortisol, and the like.

Chef Ylyt was also recognized as one of the top Filipino education creators who made TikTok a safe place for information sharing. She opens friendly discussions on food and health without ever being too intimidating and overwhelming.

Chef Ylyt reveals, “Yung content ko kasi is more on recipes and lahat ‘yun easy to follow in the sense na madali s’yang sundan ng mga tao. For example, stay at home moms and mga young adults na gusto magluto.”

The best part of being a food content creator/vlogger is discovering kasi every day we discover a lot of recipes, a lot of different tastes, and a lot of different cultures. It’s how we connect with people through our food,” she ends.

Pau Palaez a.k.a. Chikana

Coming up next is a quirky makeup guru who is changing the makeup game through her content. Meet Pau Palaez a.k.a. Chikana, a beauty content creator crafting the wildest makeup looks. Don’t forget to bless! In a nutshell, Chikana has 8.2 million followers and 219.9 million likes on TikTok, 355k followers on Instagram, 969k followers on Facebook, and 185k subscribers on YouTube.

Chikana rose to fame on TikTok because of her stunning makeup transformations. She educates her followers on how to do simple and full-glam looks through her unconventional methods. Using gay lingo and trendy Gen Z slang, she easily reels in anyone who comes across her content.

Chikana admits, “Sa tingin ko kaya ako gusto ng mga tao kasi madaldal ako. Kasi siguro nakaka-relate sila sakin sa pagiging madaldal ko and ma-kuwento ko. Pag nanunuod sila feeling nila ka-video call ko lang sila which is ‘yun ‘yung purpose ko.”

But more than being able to tap and talk to the masses, Chikana’s use of makeup also subtly shifts her viewers' perception of beauty products. She fully embraces what makeup can do for people and how it makes one feel and look good at the same time. This then creates a safe environment for everyone to wear beauty products without the fear of judgment.

Bont Bryan

Joining Status’ roster of content creators is an all-rounder lifestyle vlogger dubbed Master Hokage.

Some of his videos feature his experiences abroad, him giving flowers to random strangers, the lore between him and YouTuber Baninay, and the like.

Bont is unafraid to be vulnerable online and this trait of his is what inspires his followers online. He reveals, “The best part of being a content creator is nalalabas ko ‘yung totoong ako. Napapakita ko sa mga viewers ko kung sino ba talaga ako as a makulit na tao and syempre as a mapagmahal. Napapakita ko ‘yung iba’t ibang side ko.”

I’m also really happy kasi marami rin ako napapasaya and na-iinspire na tao,” he ends.

MJ Encabo

Status also welcomes content creator and TikToker MJ Encabo a.k.a. Miss Rizz. If we’re talking about charisma and beauty, MJ has got it all. She’s got a whopping 11.4 million followers and 305.8 million likes on TikTok, 754k followers on Instagram, and 731k followers on Facebook.

MJ is famous online for her takes on TikTok dance trends and challenges which she either does alone or with her IRL boyfriend Cheovy Walter. With her face card and beautiful physique, it’s no wonder she’s also a model and beauty pageant queen. If she’s not dancing to a viral beat or hopping on a famous trend, MJ’s showing off her modeling skills and fun adventures.

Although she thrives on her solo content, MJ can’t deny that her chemistry and #relationshipgoals videos with Cheovy are also fan favorites. She admits, “Siguro po nagustuhan din nila ‘yung content namin na couple outfits and couple dances on TikTok kasi nagtre-trending din po sila sa Facebook. ‘Yun po talaga ‘yung minahal ng audience namin especially mga Gen Z ngayon.”

Cheovy Walter

Coming in hot and fresh is another content creator who’s serving #fitspiration and #relationshipgoals online. Meet Cheovy Walter a.k.a. Prince Charming and the embodiment of the ideal guy.

Cheovy is famous online for confidently flaunting his physique through his workout videos, feisty model photos, and knockout beauty pageant entries. But more than that, he’s also the ideal guy and the so-called “standard” with him constantly flexing his girlfriend, MJ Encabo, in his videos.

Cheovy is unshy to admit that he’s a big fan of his girlfriend, he even posted a video of him revealing that he’s obsessed with watching her get ready, unlike other dudes who get impatient when their partner takes too long with putting on makeup. If Cheovy’s not dancing with MJ, he’s either sharing their lovely travels or showing off how much of a simp he is for his girlfriend.

He humbly admits, “Siguro po some people nai-inspire sa mga contents namin individually and together and ‘yung ibang people naman po just want to show support.

Emman Atienza

Status proves to advocate for diversity as it includes everyone’s favorite nepo baby in its roster. Coming from the Atienza clan, meet Emman Atienza, the articulate yapper who is unafraid to divulge her controversial thoughts online. She currently has 286.7k followers and 14.2 million likes on TikTok, and 64.1k followers on Instagram.

Emman is famous for being the daughter of TV personality kuya Kim Atienza and entrepreneur Felicia Hung-Atienza and for being a loud and proud nepo baby. She isn’t one to shy away from the privilege that she has but she is also her own person, different from her parents.

Emman’s content online ranges from her yapping about the most random stuff to her showing her most fashionable outfits. One minute she’s impressing her audience with how articulate she is, teaching you how to make organic smoke come from your mouth, and another wearing the clothing pieces she got from her mom.

Apart from that though, Emman has an undeniable love for the arts. She likes dressing up and styling her outfits, enjoys painting, and is a lowkey fan of modeling. She’s also a mental health advocate who strives to inspire others and build a community where it’s safe to talk about the topic.

Emman admits, “It’s hard to find online someone who is so unapologetically themselves and is so outspoken. And I guess it’s because for the longest time, I felt like I could do the exact opposite. From high school, I was always trying to pretend to be someone I’m not, trying to put up this front, trying to put up this persona or fallacy of who I wanted to be.”

Now that I feel so free from that barrier, I feel so free from that cage that I put myself in, I am the exact opposite. I say, out there I’m quite quirky, goofy, radical. I guess that stands out to some people and that resonates with people too,” she further explains.

Alethea Ambrosio

Status also introduces Alethea Ambrosio a.k.a. Miss Supranational Asia and Oceania 2024. Alethea is a beauty pageant queen and budding influencer and content creator who has 110k followers on Instagram.

Alethea rose to fame for her iconic Q&A answer at the Miss Philippines 2023 competition. She was the one and only contestant who spoke her answer in pure Filipino language and this made her stand above the rest.

Alethea has a genuine love for the Filipino language and culture. This continues to be her longstanding advocacy as a pageant queen. May she be competing in the Philippines or abroad, Alethea’s always championing being a Filipina.

At pageants, Alethea not only flaunted the lovely Filipino language but also showed off our culture by wearing outfits that paid homage to the Philippines. She wore Sampaguita and Kalachuchi-inspired gowns.

Alethea’s love for the Philippines serves as an inspiration for many Filipinos and creates a domino effect within the community that could lead to the betterment of our country.

Alethea shared, “I thought to myself after winning the Miss Supranational Asia and Oceania crown, why not transition to being a content creator where I can make content about my pageant journey, what are my struggles? Maybe I can help the aspirants, those who want to be a beauty queen someday, and also share my learnings on how to overcome those struggles in my life.”

Sandy Riccio

Status also welcomes a fab and cool momma to its roster. Meet Sandy Riccio, a content creator, an advocate of positivity, a mom of one, and a city gurlie with an island heart. Currently, Sandy has 5,791 followers and 47.6k likes on TikTok, and 90.9k followers on Instagram.

Sandy is famous for being a creative content creator by heart and a very positive one at best. Most of her content online shows the beauty of her life which includes her at the beach, at the tennis court, at a haute couture event, and/or with her three-year-old son.

Sandy’s content has somewhat of a heart and soul to it mostly because she personally films, directs, and shoots them. She is a talented photographer who effortlessly captures life at its best.

In an interview with her, she admitted, “I feel like people watch my reels and my videos because the world is a very sad place most days and I really try to give a beautiful spirit in the cameras.”

In a way, Sandy’s content also comes off as inspirational, especially to mothers. She’s redefining what motherhood means in this era by being vulnerable and authentic in her videos.

I have a three-year-old son and I just love taking photos of him and I use it as a bank. When we both get older, we get to look back at all these amazing experiences that I brought to him and he brought to me so I love that,” she shares.

Aira Lopez

Sofia shared, “During the pandemic, I was a second-year medical student and it was hard to be alone, struggling by myself and with my batchmates as well, especially in medical school. So, as an outlet, I started posting TikToks, especially related to being a student in the pandemic. I think that’s where it started, connecting with other students who are struggling as well.”

I was leaning my content towards motivation because nakaka-unmotivate kasi mag study alone during the pandemic,” she further explains.

Javi Valdes

Joining Status is another talented professional gamer and streamer who has the looks and the humor to stay entertaining during his streams. Meet Xavier Valdes a.k.a. Big Poppa Javi. He’s currently building his online media presence and has 28k followers on Facebook and 383 followers on TikTok.

Javi is well-known in the gaming community not only in the Philippines but in Asia as well given that he’s lauded as the number one Call of Duty: Warzone competitive player in the continent. His dedication and passion for the game has led him to be titled as such.

Most of his content is of him teaching his followers some tips and hacks on how to navigate around the gameplay of Call of Duty: Warzone. But only real ones know that at that second-hour mark of his stream, he’s also lowkey doing mukbangs.

In my streams, after the 2-hour mark usually nag mu-mukbang din ako eh. So ‘yung mga cravings nila sa gabi na hindi nila makain ako na, I’ll take one for the team. My content is light and easy for them to watch. They could feel the intensity of the game and, at the same time, they’re just laying down, watching, and having a good time,” he reveals.

At the core, Javi loves making people feel happy and relaxed and that’s why he does his streams. He shared, “Grabe pala kahit anong oras na may mga tao pala talaga na manunuod. Parang nagu-unwind daw sila. Doon ako natutuwa rin na pag sinasabi nila na “Oh, I just got home after a long day sa work tapos nandito ako nanunuod sa’yo bro. 2 hours na ‘kong nanunuod ‘tas tawa lang ako ng tawa,” ‘yung ganung vibe. So, that got me hooked into it.

Knowing that I could make someone’s day na better. If they’re already having like a rough day or a tiring day. If I know that I’m gonna make them smile or laugh for a second then that’s good for me,” he further says.

Brandon Espiritu

Another pageant title holder is joining Status’ roster and that is no other than Brandon Espiritu. Brandon is Mister Supranational Philippines 2024. He currently has 74.6k followers and 799.5k likes on TikTok, 192k followers on Instagram, and 3.27k subscribers on YouTube.

Brandon has got that Patrick Bateman vainness from the film “American Psycho” and his pushing for conversations around men’s grooming to be normalized. He believes men need to take care of themselves not just through exercising and proper diet but also by implementing proper hygiene.

At the same time, Brandon has that creative flair to turn his content into something aspirational without it being too much for anybody. He shared, “I think people like the aspirational factor of my videos, they see me and my lifestyle and it’s real, it’s genuine. And I think people really see that work ethic and where it’s rooted from because I didn’t grow up with a lot of money so I work really really hard and I think that shines through my content.”

7-Eleven Celebrates 40 Years with Heartwarming Video Titled "Laging Kasama"


As 7-Eleven marks its 40th year in the Philippines, the brand is celebrating more than just a milestone filled with exciting promos and new product releases. In the launch of its first-ever video story, Laging Kasama, 7-Eleven pays tribute to its four decades in the industry, showcasing why it remains the Philippines’ number one convenience store.

Since 1984, 7-Eleven has been an integral part of the daily lives of the community. With nearly 4,000 stores nationwide, it has become a key presence in ordinary stories - a comforting hangout spot for friends, a life-saver for last-minute needs, or a convenient meal stop for families to connect. 7-Eleven has earned its place as the trusted neighbor for millions of Filipinos.


This unique bond between the brand and its community is perfectly captured in Laging Kasama. The story, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Director Victor Villanueva (known for the indie hit Patay na si Hesus) beautifully explores themes of family and love. The film introduces us to Tatay Albert and his son, Raymart, whose relationship has been both challenged and strengthened, with 7-Eleven playing a vital role as their paboritong kapitbahay.

Raymart, portrayed by Lucas Martin and Jeremy Mayores, has always seen his father as a superhero, admiring his strength and unwavering determination. As a child, Raymart and Tatay Albert (played by Benjie Belena) regularly hung out at 7-Eleven, enjoying Crunch Time meals, Big Bite, Busog Meal, GULP, 7-Fresh Siopao, City Cafe, and other 7-Eleven favorites to share over their bonding sessions.


Through the years, the father and son went through inevitable challenges that tested their relationship. What used to be their “dating gawi” bondings at 7-Eleven, became time spent making ends meet and growing up. As the duo navigate their way through life, 7-Eleven remains constant in their lives, there for them in moments of joy and sadness as their trusted neighbor. People from all walks of life, like Raymart and Tatay Albert, will find pieces of themselves in the video. Viewers are sure to be emotionally drawn into the narrative, which tenderly captures the mundane yet meaningful moments of real-life relationships, inspired by the countless stories that have unfolded within 7-Eleven stores and beyond.

`The video is a testament to 7-Eleven’s legacy of serving the community for the past 40 years - understanding every need and being a dependable presence for every customer. It firmly cements 7-Eleven as the nation’s paboritong kapitbahay from then, to now, and into the future - laging kasama.
