Gelli clueless on Amy's reason for leaving TV5

MANILA, Philippines- Gelli de Belen is clueless why her supposed co-host Amy Perez left TV5.

Gelli and Amy were supposed to host the Kapatid network's upcoming TV show "Face The People."

Gelli had also substituted for Amy's show "Face to Face" when the latter gave birth.

"Hindi ko rin talaga alam, nagulat na lang din ako na naiba [ang host]. So ang best na makakasagot nyan is si Ma’am Wilma Galvante. Kasi hindi ko talaga alam isasagot ko sa inyo, e," Gelli said in an interview last October 4.

Galvante is TV5's chief Entertainment officer.

Christine Bersola-Babao took Amy's place as Gelli’s co-host for the new show.

“Pero exciting din naman si Tin-tin,” Gelli said.

Gelli and Christine will shoot the the first episode of "Face the People" today.

Gelli said that the new show is a "tamer" version of "Face to Face," which is one of the pioneer shows of the Kapatid network.

“Tigilan na natin ang pananakit sa isa’t isa!” she said with a laugh. “Dati kasi face to face, magkaharap yung magka-away. Ngayon it’s more of internal na, ‘Ano ba, aawayin ko pa ba siya o hindi?’

"Mayro’n din siyang mga kasama na magkukuwento ng mga nangyari. Mayro’n kaming life coach, depende sa problema niya. Mayro’n kaming audience, mayro’n kaming Sambayanang Isangdaan. But instead na nagtataas sila ng color card, high-tech, boboto silang ganyan," she said.

Aside from "Face the People," which will start airing on October 14, Gelli is also part of the Kapatid network's gag show "Tropa Mo Ko Unli," which airs every Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
