Vice Ganda and Vic Sotto exchange greetings on their respective noontime shows, prompting fresh speculation about a possible film collaboration. On “It’s Showtime,” Vice Ganda extends a message to his “idol,” saying to Vic Sotto: “Hi, Bossing Vic! Hi Bossing! I love you!” The greeting comes after Vic Sotto and other hosts had similarly acknowledged Vice Ganda on “Eat Bulaga,” reinforcing reports that the two have been publicly coordinating messages between the rival programs.

In a follow-up development, Vice Ganda says he invites Vic Sotto to meet in person. Speaking on “It’s Showtime” on July 4, he says Vic Sotto returned the greeting the day before and told him to talk “masinsinan” (in detail). Vice Ganda then responds that he is busy at the moment, but adds that he wants to see Vic Sotto, hug him, and have a “deep conversation.” Both outlets frame the on-air exchanges and the planned meeting as part of continuing rumors about an upcoming film featuring both entertainers, though neither outlet confirms any production details.
