“Bongga ‘yung ka-collab ko. Pasabog [na] collab. Ang tagal ko na rin namang nagso-solo movie. Excited din ang mga tao na makita kung sino pa ‘yung ibang puwede ko pang makasama sa pelikula,” Vice shared.

The possibility of the two comedy titans joining forces became even more apparent when Vice extended a direct invitation to Vic.

During the interview, which coincided with Vic's birthday, Vice sent a playful but intriguing message: “Happy birthday, Bossing. I love you for life. Gusto mo bang mag-movie tayo, Bossing?”

This public gesture has fans speculating that a contract signing might be just around the corner, especially as Vice admitted that several preliminary meetings have already occurred.

“Nakailang meeting na rin kami. Nagbe-brainstorm kami every now and then,” the “It’s Showtime” host added.

Vice noted that while the transition back to comedy is intentional, it also stems from listening to the audience.

Despite receiving critical acclaim for dramatic performances, many supporters have expressed a longing for the "campy" and lighthearted humor associated with earlier hits.

Vice observed that even older comedy films like Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy have recently seen a resurgence in popularity online, further solidifying the decision to return to roots.

As the industry prepares for the 2026 MMFF, the potential pairing of the "Unkabogable Star" and "Bossing" is expected to be a massive box-office draw.

For now, Vice remains busy with other commitments, including a confirmed participation in Jessica Sanchez's upcoming major concert, but the focus remains on perfecting what could be the biggest comedy event in recent Philippine cinema history.

A celebrated comedian, host, and award-winning actor, Vice Ganda has long been a central figure in Philippine media, notably through the variety show It's Showtime. Recently, the performer solidified a historic career milestone by winning Best Actor at the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival for the movie Call Me Mother, adding to a legacy as one of the country's most successful box-office stars.

Recently, Vice Ganda shared a personal sentiment regarding the possibility of Leni Robredo making another bid for the country's top executive office. The former official had previously stated a firm decision to step away from national races in the upcoming 2028 polls. The host expressed a belief that the collective voice of the people and a sense of duty can often reshape a leader's political path. There has been no official reaction from the former vice president's camp regarding the star's recent public statements.
