For Ice, who first captured the hearts of Filipinos as a bright-eyed child star on that very same stage decades ago, the transition from being in front of the camera to calling the shots behind it is both a dream come true and a deeply nostalgic experience.
Ice joining Little Miss Philippines 1987, being introduced as Aiza Seguerra in 1988 as the youngest female host of Eat Bulaga!
A Journey Back to the Roots
Ice took to social media to share the news, admitting to feeling a mix of immense excitement and nervous energy. Posting a heartfelt message alongside photos from the Eat Bulaga control room, Ice wrote:
"Balik kung saan nagsimula. But this time, as director of my home—Eat Bulaga. Waaah!! Grabe yung kaba ko. Send some good vibes pls... Mama naalala ko, ikaw talaga nagmanifest nito dati. I hope I make you proud today."
The message was a touching tribute to the show that essentially launched Ice's career, and specifically to his late mother, whom Ice credits for manifesting this dream.
A New Chapter
While Ice has established a respected career in concert directing and creative work, the transition to live daily television is, in his own words, "a totally different animal." Nevertheless, the overwhelming support from fans and colleagues alike highlights the deep connection the audience feels toward Ice—a journey they have witnessed from his early days as a child star to the versatile, accomplished artist he is today.
As Ice embarks on this new role, fans are celebrating this homecoming, signaling an exciting new era for the beloved noontime variety show.
