Several years ago, TV game shows and variety programs would regularly get radio jocks from different FM stations to participate in their game segments. (parang may sabong every week!) I never said no to the invitations. (bilang mukha akong pera at hayok sa exposure!) Eventually, I had the chance to host several game shows on TV5 with Sir Joey De Leon, like Pinoy Samurai, Celebrity Samurai, Biggest Jackpot, and Biggest Game Show in the World. (maliban pa yan sa Wow Mali namin ha! close kami noon!) Hosting Jeepney Jackpot with Valeen Montenegro is also special to me. (bilang may budget yung giant jeep!)

I would still join game shows now and then. Recently, I was with Kakai Bautista and IC Mendoza for John Arcilla’s Spingo on TV5. (si Heneral gume-game show host ha!) I have been with them in several TV guest appearances and I must say IC is the competitive one. (yung may matinding pangangailan ang level ng paglalaro!) No wonder he won in Spingo. Unfortunately he did not get the jackpot prize. (sayang! May usapan pa naman kaming tatlo sa hatian!) It was my first time meeting John and I think I fell in love with him. (bilang tinawag nya akong icon dahil daw sa may ganon ko. Taray ng icon ha!)

Wilma Doesnt

Spingo just ended Season 1. Still trying to figure out Season 2, but I learned that the replays of our Celebrity Samurai took over its 530 pm Monday to Friday slot. (nahalungkat sa baul!) I hosted that show as Gaysha with Rufami as Kimonay, Wilma Doesnt as Itimpura and Sir Joey De Leon as Emperor Yoje/Prinsipe Sutsut. (si Sir Joey lahat nakaisip ng names!) It started as Pinoy Samurai, and we would shoot the challenges in Tagaytay. (mga buwis buhay!). We later changed locations and featured celebrities as contestants. (nakakaloka mga ganap dyan!)

I had fun memories in doing this show. (nagkajowa pa ata ako dyan. Chos!) Wilma became my close friend. (di ko lang sure if close pa kami ngayon!) Working with Sir Joey is always an honor. (napaka professional at mapagmahal sa kawork! I love you sir Joey!)

I will grab the opportunity of hosting a game show again. (kahit pa siguro quiz bee yan!) I enjoy the entertainment value, and I love seeing the winning moments of participants. (basta dapat may balato ako bilang host ha!)
