Magpasikat 2024
The 15th edition of Magpasikat, subtitled “KinsEYYY”, took place from October 21 to 26, 2024. The competing teams were composed of: Team Vice-Karylle-Ryan (Team ViRyLle), Team Ogie-Kim-MC-Lassy, Team Vhong-Ion-Darren-Amy (Team VIDA), Team Anne-Jugs-Teddy (Team AJT), and Team Jhong-Jackie-Cianne (Team JJC).
Notably, this year’s Magpasikat returned to its traditional October schedule after being held in November for the past three years. It also became the first edition to air simultaneously on ALLTV and GMA, expanding its reach to a broader audience.
At the culmination of an exciting week, Team Ogie-Kim-MC-Lassy claimed the championship title. Team JJC secured second place, while Team AJT finished in third. For the first time in Magpasikat history, Team Vice-Karylle-Ryan and Team Vhong-Ion-Darren-Amy finished in fourth and fifth places, respectively.
This year’s competition not only celebrated talent and creativity but also reinforced the show’s commitment to giving back, with beneficiaries benefiting from the participants’ hard work and dedication.
First-Hand Experience
I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch It’s Showtime live at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City on July 4.
The experience began early, as audience members were required to arrive by 9 a.m. to fill out forms and undergo antigen tests, ensuring everyone’s safety. While waiting for the show to kick off, the staff provided reminders to the audience, including guidelines for the show’s intro sequence.
