Senator Bong Revilla’s recent appeal to Malacañang regarding the “No work, no pay” workers of “It’s Showtime” is a display of misplaced priorities that could make even the most absurd of reality TV plots seem sensible. 

While the show was suspended for 12 days due to the antics of Vice Ganda and Ion Perez, Revilla’s call for presidential intervention seems like a punchline in itself. Why bother the President for the mischief of the show hosts?

Perhaps a more effective approach would be for Senator Revilla to ask the hosts of the show, particularly the wealthy Vice Ganda, to dip into their deep pockets and ensure that the workers receive their wages during the suspension. After all, Vice Ganda once claimed to have lost track of her wealth, so why not share the blessings with those who truly need it? It’s a golden opportunity for a real-life show of generosity.
