MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN’s It’s Showtime kicked off its fifth anniversary festivities last Oct. 1 by unveiling a multi-colored anniversary logo to signify that madlang people can join the celebration. 

As if to echo the program’s theme song with the lyrics “anumang lahi, anumang kulay,” hosts Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Kuya Kim Atienza, Billy Crawford, Karylle, Jhong Hilario, Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, Ryan Bang, Coleen Garcia, Eruption Tai and Vice Ganda opened the show with a colorful dance medley in anticipation of a vibrant and jam-packed October. 

Returning to the It’s Showtime stage were acts True Colors, Next Level Octomix, Savannah Kids, Super Crew, D’ Bomb and Astig Pinoy as part of the celebration’s Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday segments. 

It’s Showtime also held the second monthly finals of PinaSikat and presented the 58 grand finalists for the Gandang Lalake tilt who will meet again for the finals.
