In the midst of the recent controversy involving the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), “It’s Showtime” host Ion Perez has taken to social media to share a heartwarming throwback photo from Vice Ganda’s concert last June.
The picture captures the couple flashing their middle fingers playfully, showcasing their strong bond amidst ongoing criticisms.
The controversy stems from an incident during the “Isip Bata” segment on “It’s Showtime,” where Vice Ganda and Ion Perez were seen eating a cake in a manner that drew criticism from some adults.
This incident sparked debates regarding the fine line between childlike innocence and adult sensibilities in television programming.

Despite the scrutiny and challenges they are facing, Vice Ganda and Ion Perez are taking some time off from work to enjoy a 2-day vacation at an undisclosed location, showing their resilience as a couple.
During Vice Ganda’s “Your Memejesty, Queen VG” concert last June, the celebrity couple expressed their unwavering love for each other. The touching moment was captured on Tiktok by ASAP head writer Darla Sauler, where Vice Ganda proclaimed their love and encouraged them not to be bothered by the opinions of others.
“About you and about us, let’s not f***ing care. What you are, what I am, and what we have is just so amazingly beautiful,” Vice Ganda told Perez. “So, let’s not be bothered by their noise. Let them drown in their own voice.”
“Let’s just continue to love so loud and proud. Let’s continue to love. Whatever happens, wherever it takes, at the end of the day, love wins,” the talented singer continued.
