MANILA – The hosts of ABS-CBN's noontime show “It’s Showtime” threw their support for their embattled colleague Vhong Navarro in Tuesday’s episode.

During the opening gap, Navarro's long-time friend Jhong Hilario gave a shoutout to his fellow Streetboys member, who is currently detained at the National Bureau of Investigation, as a sign of support.

“Kuys Vhong, nandito lang kami. Kapit lang. We love you,” Hilario said.

Vice Ganda also echoed Hilario’s statement and initiated a group hug among the hosts of the program.

“Love you, Vhong. We will all be praying for you, Vhong. Love you,” the comedian added.
