MANILA -- From her "semi-regular" hosting stint on Kapamilya noontime show "It's Showtime", the madlang people are now wondering where is Rufa Mae Quinto.

The well-loved comedienne was seemingly away for almost a month now after her daily appearance on the Kapamilya noontime show, especially on one of "It's Showtime" segments "Kalokalike". 

In a message she relays to ABS-CBN News, the comedienne explained her absence from the noontime show.

"I have prior commitments," the comedienne told ABS-CBN News. 

"I miss laughing with the madlang Kapuso. Salamat for watching and supporting me my triple fff - family, friends, fans, FFF hooray," she said.  "Mahal ko y’all!" she added. 

In a recent interview with Quinto, the comedienne reveals that she enjoys her time with the noontime show as she exchanges banters with other Kapamilya hosts.  

Why Rufa Mae Quinto gave showbiz another go

"Nag-e-enjoy ako pero parang hindi ko na rin alam kung bakit nangyari 'yun. Siguro kapag mabuti kang tao, nakakatuwa ka, may magaganda rin na jokes siguro kasi ang generation ko 'di ba? Eh ang generation ko lahat na ng millennial, Gen Z, xx at kung ano man 'yung generation andon ako eh, kaya ngayon alam ko siguro 'yung joke hanggang baby pati tita. Lola na lang hindi ko alam," she said in jest.
