“Nag-aalala rin kami…” – Vice Ganda’s emotional statement leaves fans asking more questions than it answers.

After days of speculation and mounting questions from netizens, Vice Ganda has finally addressed the noticeable absence of Jackie Gonzaga, aka “Ate Girl Jackie,” from the popular noontime show It’s Showtime.

In today’s live episode, Vice paused during a segment and—visibly emotional—shared a short but heartfelt update.
“Hindi po siya nagpapakita ngayon… at may pinagdadaanan siya.”

That was all it took to send fans into a frenzy online.

Fans demand answers

Rumors had been swirling for days.
Was it a personal issue?
A falling out with the show?
Something deeper?

The hashtag #NasaanSiJackie trended on X (formerly Twitter) for hours after the episode aired. Many fans expressed concern while others speculated that something serious might be happening behind the scenes.

Some even pointed out that Vice Ganda looked teary-eyed while addressing the matter, fueling theories that this was no ordinary absence.

What Vice didn’t say — and why it matters

While Vice did not reveal specifics, the way he spoke left a noticeable emotional weight.
“Pagdasal natin siya,” Vice added, before quickly shifting back to his trademark humor to lighten the moment.

This short but loaded remark ignited even more curiosity. The internet is buzzing: What exactly is Jackie going through? Why so sudden? Why the secrecy?

Despite the mystery, one thing was clear: Jackie’s absence is deeply felt, not just by the hosts, but by loyal viewers who have followed her journey from a background dancer to a beloved mainstay on the show.

Jackie’s last social media post?

Adding to the intrigue, fans noticed that Jackie hasn’t posted anything new on her social media accounts in several days. Her last IG story was a sunset photo, captioned only with a broken heart emoji — posted the night before she missed the show.

Was it just coincidence, or a silent message?

Showtime family stays mum

Other hosts and staff of It’s Showtime have remained quiet, choosing to respect Jackie’s privacy. But the silence is only feeding the fire. With Vice now openly acknowledging it, fans are waiting for one thing: Jackie’s return — or a message from her, in her own words.

Until then, speculation continues… and so does the concern.
