Bobet Vidanes, erstwhile director of hit ABS-CBN noontime show, "It's Showtime!" never issued a statement following his resignation from the Kapamilya Network.

To this day, many are wondering as to what prompted his decision given the success of the show.

In fact, several of the show's hosts including Vice Ganda, Ion Perez and Ryan Bang expressed disappointment over his decision to simply leave with nary a word.

Bobet finally broke his silence when he celebrated his birthday on his new show "Lunch Out Loud," recently.

He maintained it was not about money as many speculated.

“Yung pagtatrabaho ko po sa kabila, hindi na po healthy. Mamamatay po akong maaga, ang ganda nung programa pero it’s not healthy anymore. To make it short lang, I’m here sa ‘Lunch Out Loud’ or any program, no pressure, ayan happy naman. It’s not about the money, it’s about health.”
