Pepito Manaloto also tapped Eat Bulaga host Jose Manalo as a special guest this Saturday night.
Right before the end of the show, Michael V. while in character, thanked their loyal viewers for their immense support for more than 10 years.
In addition, he hinted about a “bagong kuwento” that everyone should look forward to.
Here was the final statement of Pitoy and Elsa.
Pepito: Sa lahat ng mga naging followers ng Pepito Manaloto sa loob ng sampung taon hindi po namin kayang tapusin ang program na hindi nagpapasalamat sa inyo.
Kaya in behalf of everyone na bumubuo sa programang ito--maraming, maraming, maraming, maraming, salamat po. Thank you for being part of the Manaloto family at kasama ko ngayon si Elsa (Manilyn Reynes) na may bagong kuwento.
Elsa: Oo, 'di ba!
Pepito, Oh sige, kuwento mo na?
Elsa: Ikaw na!
Pepito: Ito naman ikaw mahilig sa kuwentuhan, hindi joke lang, joke lang. Ah, basta abangan n'yo.
