MANILA, Philippines — The team of Vice Ganda, Jugs Jugueta, and Teddy Corpuz left viewers awestruck and broke the internet on Tuesday when Teddy proposed to and married his wife Jasmine on national television for their “Magpasikat Week” performance on “It’s Showtime.”
After Jugs and Vice performed a song and a reverse poem about love, Teddy surprised Jasmine, their kids, and the "madlang people" as he bent on one knee and asked his wife, “Will you marry me again?”
Teddy’s ultimate romantic gesture did not end there, as he swore his undying devotion and exchanged “I do’s” with Jasmine. The wedding ceremony sent netizens abuzz and also became a trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines and worldwide.
The concept earned rave reviews and a standing ovation from all of the "hurados," including director Rory B. Quintos, who said it was “thematically brilliant,” and Maricel Soriano, Marc Logan, Ina Raymundo, and Janno Gibs, who were moved to tears.
The highly anticipated “Magpasikat Week,” the week-long, annual talent competition of “It’s Showtime” hosts, kicked off on October 17 with a performance by Billy Crawford, James Reid, and Amy Perez.
Explosive performances by Team Anne Curtis, Ryan Bang, and Nadine Lustre (Wednesday); Team Vhong Navarro, Joey Marquez, and Mariel Padilla (Thursday); and Team Jhong Hilario and Karylle (Friday) are also lined up this week.
Last year, the team of Anne, Amy, and Joey was hailed as the champion.
