Just over a month since it started airing, “Everybody, Sing!” and host Vice Ganda have already spread light and joy to many Filipinos.
Among them are the songbayanan of community pantry volunteers, massage therapists, and teachers who bagged the P500,000 jackpot prize of ABS-CBN’s community singing game show.
One of those who won is solid Kapamilya Rex Dayao from Malolos, Bulacan. According to Rex, he used the cash prize to pay for his home.
“Nais kong manatili sa aking alaala ang pagsali sa ‘Everybody, Sing!,’ kung kaya ipinambayad ko sa bahay ang lahat ng aking napanalunan. Sa gayon, bawat pagkakataon ay maaalala ko na bahagi na ng aking bahay at buhay ang ‘Everybody, Sing.'”
Rex also had nothing but praises for Vice Ganda. He added, “Nasaksihan namin na tunay ang kaniyang ngiti habang kami ay nagtatagumpay. May interes ang bawat tanong, may dunong ang bawat pakikipagtalastasan. Walang sandali na hindi kami tumawa at humikbi dahil ramdam ng aming puso ang tunay na malasakit ni Vice sa aming mga guro.”
Rex also shared that Vice Ganda’s game show, which is available on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, iWantTFC, and TFC, serves as the weekend bonding of his family because of the show’s unique and fun format, as well as the guarantee of taking home a cash prize.
Meanwhile, even if the songbayanan of street food vendors and extras and talents fell short from clinching the jackpot prize last weekend (July 24 and 25), they still had a fun experience as they were able to take home P35,000 and P30,000 on top of their individual cash prizes in earlier rounds.
Fans of the show can expect more excitement as “Everybody, Sing!” introduces “lipsing,” a new game category in the game show wherein the songbayanan will have to guess the missing lyrics through lip-reading.
