“It’s Showtime’ TV hosts Vice Ganda together with Vhong Navarro and Jhong Hilario were taken by surprised when Miss Q&A contestant Dimple Solomon Ruiz from Binangonan, Rizal uttered some words that’s a bit offending during his intro.
“O ano, nagulat kayo ano? Akala niyo ngongo ako, ‘no? Mongoloid kaya ako.” said Ruiz.
Vice reacted by saying: “Hindi ‘yan ang intro mo nung rehearsal, ah!”
“As early as now, we would like to inform everyone that the views and opinions and the words of the candidates do not necessary reflect the views and opinions of the hosts, the show and the network.” Vice added.
“In behalf of candidate number 3, ngayon pa lamang ay humihingi na po kami ng paumanhin sa maaaring mga na-offend o hindi nagustuhan ang mga sinabi niya sa simula, lalo na ang paggamit ng mga salitang ngongo at mongoloid. Hindi na natin yun ginagamit.” said Vice.
Vice then turned his attention to Ruiz and said: “Huy, hindi yun ang ginamit mo sa rehearsal? Bakit yun ang sinabi [mo]? Baka mapagalitan kami, mag-explain ka.”
“I’m sorry po, idinagdag ko lang. I’m really sorry po. I didn’t mean it. Gusto ko lang po magbigay ng kasiyahan but hindi ko po sinasadya yun. I’m really sorry for that.” explained Ruiz.

It was a wise move of @vicegandako to immediately call out the contestant who makes fun of people who have physical impairments and issue an apology. @itsShowtimeNa #ShowtimeAugust2Natin pic.twitter.com/sD7BP2i0De
