Vice Ganda, the unevictable judge of ABS-CBN's hit morning talent show "Showtime" is taking an "indefinite leave" to rest, recharge and learn again.
"Oo magpapahinga muna ako. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang papalit. Nagpaalam na ako," Vice said.
He added"Ako mismo sa sarili ko gusto kong magpahinga. Hindi ako ganoon kagaling na entertainer, yong mga alam ko, ang mga pondo ko, nagamit ko na so ngayon kailangan kong mag-ipon ulit para may b, ago akong maipakita sa tao. Ayaw ko naman kasing pagsawaan nila ako,"
The actor-comedian also put an end to speculations that he will be moving to a rival network.
"Hindi, hindi ako lilipat ng ibang istasyon. Dito lang ako hanggat gusto nila ako dito sa ABS-CBN," he said.
Vice Ganda also extended his appreciation to all his supporters and viewers of Showtime.
"Sa mga sumusuporta sa akin, maraming salamat. Malungkot man eh mami-miss muna natin ang isa't isa. Mas magandang ma-miss niyo ako kaysa magsagawa kayo sa akin," he said.
A statement from ABS-CBN Corporate Communications said Vice Ganda will return to the show after taking a short break.
"Just like any other artist, Vice Ganda is taking a short leave of absence from Showtime. He will be back in the program after his leave," said Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications.
