Luis Manzano's 'It's Your Lucky Day' replaces 'It's Showtime' while suspended

MANILA, Philippines — Luis Manzano's game and variety show "It's Your Lucky Day" will replace "It's Showtime" while the popular noontime show serves its 12-day suspension starting this Saturday.

In a statement released yesterday, ABS-CBN said that Luis will be joined by Robi Domingo, Jennica Garcia and Melai Cantiveros in the show. 

“Ang pinakabagong game variety show ng Pilipinas na 'It’s Your Lucky Day' ang pansamantalang papalit sa 'It’s Showtime' at pangungunahan ito ng 'Pambansang Host' na si Luis Manzano kasama sina Robi Domingo, Jennica Garcia, at Melai Cantiveros. Makakasama rin nila ang iba pang special co-hosts at celebrity guests," the network announced.

“Mula sa bumubuo ng 'It’s Showtime,' ang 'It’s Your Lucky Day' ay magtatampok ng bagong game at variety segments at ipapalabas tuwing tanghali mula Oktubre 14 hanggang Oktubre 27, Lunes hanggang Sabado, sa Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, at GTV. Mapapanood rin ito sa Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, at TFC. Inaanyayahan namin ang mga manonood na patuluyin ang swerte sa kanilang mga tahanan at makisaya kasama ang buong pamilya sa 'It’s Your Lucky Day'," it added.

According to reports, the show will be also joined by Kapamilya young stars Andrea Brillantes, Francine Diaz, Kyle Echarri and Seth Fedelin.

Comedians Negi, Long Mejia, Petite and Divine Tetay will also join the show. 

ABS-CBN announced earlier this week that they will not appeal the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) suspension for "It's Showtime.”

“We respect the authority of MTRCB, but we humbly maintain that the program did not break any pertinent law. Our heartfelt thanks to our viewers for their unwavering love and support for 'It's Showtime,' which will return on October 28 stronger and better than ever,” ABS-CBN said.
