Vhong Navarro Jokes About 'Condo' on It's Showtime (February 17)

Comedian Vhong Navarro is slowly learning to smile and crack jokes again after the mauling incident which happened in a condo in Taguig. In fact, the It's Showtime host already joked about the 'condo' thing during Anne Curtis' birthday celebration on the noontime show, February 17.

Vhong Navarro surprised Anne by greeting her via phone patch. Watch the video here.

"Anne, pasensya ka na ah kung hindi ako nakapunta nung birthday mo, sa party mo. Kung wala man ako dun sa party mo, sa puso ko, nandito ka naman lagi," said Vhong who was greatly missed by his co-hosts and the entire madlang pipol.

Anne said that Vhong being safe, kicking and greeting her on her birthday is enough, adding that it was the first time we got to hear Vhong's voice in the noontime show after the controversy.

Vhong then quipped, "Wag kang mag-alala, Anne. Kung hindi man ako nakapunta diyan para batiin ka ng live, mamaya pag uwi mo sa condo mo, nandun na ko."

The said joke sent the madlang pipol into an uproar, especially after Vice Ganda jokingly replied with, "Vhong, hindi naman talaga yung party ang na-miss mo, Vhong. Ang namiss mo talaga ay ang dami kayang foods."

Vhong also joked about staying in a safe house, which is Ryan Bang's condo while the Korean host said that CCTVs were installed in his place. Vice also made a ride on the joke and said that there's no elevator in the 'safe house' only fire exit.

"Pero Anne, nagtatampo ka ba sa akin? I miss you too," said Vhong to Anne who said she understands his situation. "Thank you, Anne. Wag kang mag-alala, babawi ako sa’yo soon," Vhong added.

Vhong also told the madlang pipol to watch out for his new film with Anne Curtis titled Kung Fu Panda 4, when the audience asked him for a sample. Vice told Vhong to sing a Blackeyed peas number, but Vhong just sang the 'Happy Birthday' song in a different melody for Anne.

Vhong ended the call by saying, "Thank you, Anne, I miss you, I love you. I love you all!"
