During Holy Week, we’re granted a valuable chance to step away from our usual work routines, allowing for moments of deep reflection and contemplation (“pagninilay,) or the opportunity to take a much-needed sanity break and explore different parts of the country or even the world.
Regardless of the choice made, it serves as a respite deeply required in our fast-paced world, whatever our beliefs and traditions are.
As Holy Week unfolds, the hosts of the noontime ABS-CBN show “It’s Showtime,” which will also be airing on GMA starting April 6, are taking a vacation from their hectic schedules.
Jhong Hilario, with his daughter Sarina and wife Maia, went to Hong Kong. This trip held special significance for Sarina, who recently gained positive traction for her rendition of the classic song “Fly Me to the Moon.”
Captured in a heartwarming Instagram video, Sarina joyfully savored her favorite Xiao Long Bao while mastering the art of chopsticks for the first time. The caption reads, “I DID IT!!!- Sarina eats her favorite, Xiao Long Bao and tries chopsticks for the first time!”

Meanwhile, Karylle and her husband Yael Yuzon opted for a getaway to Thailand. Sharing their excitement, Karylle posted a photo from their flight with a caption humorously reading, “Putting the bang in Bangkok.” It’s also worth noting that the couple renewed their vows on the 10th anniversary of their marriage on March 9.

Anne Curtis, on the other hand, provided her followers with a glimpse into her serene holiday retreat. In an Instagram post, the Filipino Australian actress and model shared a picture of her feet immersed in a pool, engaging in some artsy moments.
Captioning the post “Peaceful mornings,” she invited fans into her tranquil vacation experience for the week. She’s now flying to Bangkok for a Louis Vuitton event.

Not to be overlooked, Vhong Navarro also embarked on a family vacation in South Korea with his wife, Tanya Bautista. Documenting their adventures through Instagram stories, the dancer and host shared glimpses of their walk through the streets of South Korea.
Moreover, it’s also the best time for golfing! Amy Perez posted photos together with co-hosts Ogie Alcasid, whom she referred to as her “mayaman and coach friend,” Ryan Bang, and OPM icon Martin Nievera.
“Golfing is my therapy. Thank you to our mayaman and coach friend @ogiealcasid for inviting us to play, di ba ? @ryanbang & @martinnievera Had so much fun with you guys,” she writes. “Great game and best score ever!”
