MANILA, Philippines — What started as a tired joke already blossomed into fruition as actor Gardo Versoza, comically dubbed “Hagardo Versoza,” will be featured as a guest on an upcoming episode of veteran broadcast journalist Ces Drilon’s show "Bawal Ma-Stress Drilon.”

“Dahil nakinig kami sa inyo! By popular demand #stressdrilon meets #hagardoversoza on @kumuPH It’s a date August 24, 9:30 p.m.,” read a promotional tweet for the episode, announcing a contest for who gets to co-host alongside the duo.
Gardo himself was previously tagged by netizens in response to Ces' search for a co-host who would join her and special guest Maymay Entrata on an episode that aired Monday.
Although the search was not a popularity contest, the internet still won by landing Gardo as a guest in his own episode.
“This is going to be epic,” Ces posted with tears of joy emojis in response to the news.
