It's Showtime" To Be Replaced By "Palibhasa Tanghali"?

Months after its launched, rumor has it that ABS-CBN’s daily noontime show "Its Showtime" will get the axe very soon and be relaced by "Palibhasa Tanghali" and to be topbilled by Palibhasa Lalake trio Richard Gomez, John Estrada and Joey Marquez.

To put an end to this rumor, the Kapamilya network, through Mr. Bong Osorio - Head of Corporate Communications Division - has released a statement refuting the said rumor.

The statement states that "Its Showtime" will remain to be the station's daily noontime show and will not be, anytime soon, replaced by other show nor it will be moved to an earlier timeslot.

Read the full statement below:

There is no truth to rumors that “It’s Showtime” will be replaced. ABS-CBN is neither replacing “It’s Showtime” with another program nor moving it back to its earlier timeslot.

In fact, “It’s Showtime” today, April 30 kicked-off the launch of its new segments starting with the multi-talent showdown among Filipino families following the inter-town grand finals last Saturday, April 28.

The viewing public can look forward to the launch of new entertainment segments in the coming days as ABS-CBN continues on its mission to bring fun and hope to the Filipinos here and in TFC markets worldwide.
