It’s Showtime viewers who expected to see Vhong Navarro on Kapamilya Channel and TV5’s noontime program on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, were disappointed.

After being released from the Taguig City Jail on December 6, the TV host-comedian was not seen on the show.

Branch 69 of the Taguig City Regional Court granted Vhong provisional liberty or temporary freedom after he paid a bail of one million pesos, or PHP1 million, for the rapė case filed against him by Deniece Cornejo in January 2014.

According to a source close to Vhong, the TV host and comedian plans to return to It’s Showtime in January 2023.

First and foremost, he wishes to rest and spend time with his family.

Vhong had been separated from his family for nearly three months when he was detained on September 19, 2022, at a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) facility.

On November 21, 2022, he was transferred to the Taguig City Jail.

Vhong will have a joyous Christmas and New Year as a result of the court’s temporary release.

Vhong’s 46th birthday, on January 4, 2023, is expected to be significant because of the freedom he has achieved.

Some believe that Vhong’s return to It’s Showtime will be timed perfectly.
