Format

Production
[edit]The show suspended the production of its new episodes and aired re-runs from March 16 to May 4, 2020, due to the Luzon enhanced community quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines until the network's shutdown due to the cease and desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995. However, the current status of the talk show remained unknown until it was eventually cancelled after Abunda's return to GMA Network.
