Sharon Cuneta misses ABS-CBN's Your Face Sounds Familiar, the happiest show she's been part of.
The weekly program is currently on hold following the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila.
Going live on Instagram last Sunday, April 4, 2021, Sharon, who serves as one of the judges of the show together with Ogie Alcasid and Gary Valenciano, shared her thoughts about the show's suspension.
She said, "Tapings for Your Face Sounds Familiar have been well, they're constantly being moved because of the ECQ, na-extend pa.
“So ang tagal pa ng next taping and I miss na the studio, I miss na sila Ogie.
“For me, it's the happiest show I've ever been part of.”
Jed Madela and Nyoy Volante are also part of Your Face Sounds Familiar as coaches to the ten celebrity contestants.
The ten celebrity contestants are: Geneva Cruz, Lie Reposposa, Vivoree Esclito, CJ Navato, Jhong Hilario, Klarisse de Guzman, Christian Bables, and the iDOLLS group composed of Matty Juniosa, Lucas Garcia, and Enzo Almario.
Luis Manzano has taken over as host of Your Face Sounds Familiar after the exit of Billy Crawford, who is now doing shows with TV5.
The ECQ in the National Capital Region that was first declared on March 29, 2021 has been extended until April 10, 2021.
“NADE-DELAY IYONG SEPANX KO.”
Sharon used to host her own musical-variety talk show, which had three incarnations: The Sharon Cuneta Show from1986 to 1997, Sharon from 1998 to 2004, and Sharon again from 2006 to 2010.
She said on Instagram live that the three self-titled musical-variety talk shows hold a special place in her heart, but working with her life-long friends in Your Face Sounds Familiar has made her feel like she's with family.
"Siyempre mahal ko iyong mga naging shows ko: iyong TSCS, iyong unang Sharon, iyong pangalawang Sharon.
"Over 23 years, tatlong shows na dala-dala ang pangalan ko, mahal na mahal ko, nami-miss ko, musical, talk at variety.
“Pero ang mga kasama ko kasi sa Your Face, sina Ogie, Gary. Si Luis, dati si Billy, si Jed, si Nyoy, 'tapos iyong dancers. Lahat sila, family na talaga kami roon.
"Doon talaga constantly, sumasakit ang tiyan ko sa kakatawa dahil kay Ogie primarily, ‘tapos kay Luis, siyempre.
“’Tapos kapag nagpe-perform iyong aming celebrity contestants, siyempre, hindi ka lang amazed, minsan may funny numbers din silang ginagawa.
"So it's really a happy, happy show and we all love doing it.”
Sharon said it breaks her heart each time a season ends.
"It breaks may heart, iyong alam mong taping kayo nang taping, nag-e-enjoy ka, ‘tapos patapos na iyong isang season, ang sakit.
“Kaya lang, nade-delay pa iyong sepanx ko, buti na lang rin ng dahil sa ECQ nga at sa overall effects ng COVID.
"Parang masyado siyang in love sa atin, ayaw niya tayong iwanan!”
