It’s Showtime!
These
have become part of every Filipino’s household. These two rival noontime shows
are the craze of every Filipino. I bet my one week allowance from my husband
that one would likely find the TV set of every Juan tuned in to either of these
two noontime shows.
My husband asked me one time while I was
watching Showtime, “What’s in noontime shows that Filipinos love them?” I just
ignored him and firmly held the remote control for fear that he would snatch it
and switch the channel to BTV or NBA. But the question lingered in my mind and
so goes this musing on noontime shows.
There is just one answer to the question.
Plain entertainment.
Filipinos love to be entertained. They love
to laugh. I guess this is part of the good- natured character of every Juan. We
simply could not go through our days without our share of laughter and what
better way to do this than to watch Vice Ganda make banters to others in the
show or listen to the pick-up lines of the contestants in their segment “I am
Pogay.” This may sound too shallow to others but at least, it helps lighten the
load of worries in the daily life of every Juan.
