'It's Showtime' hosts and celebrity couple Vice Ganda and Ion Perez went to Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan to visit the viral young macaque named Punch.
Vice Ganda and Ion Perez recently jetted off to Japan and the former shared her latest vlog where they visited Punch, the viral macaque, at a zoo.
As seen on the Unkabogable Star's YouTube video, she and her partner, along with their friends, went to Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan to see the viral young monkey.
In the video, the group went to the area where Punch is staying, however, they initially didn't see the macaque. They then explored other parts of the zoo and saw different animals.
Towards the end of the vlog, Vice and Ion, along with their friends, finally saw Punch and the former couldn't help but gush over how adorable the macaque is.
"He's cute. At saka, special talaga siya no? Iba 'yung itsura niya, iba kulay niya, siya 'yung darkest sa lahat.
"Standout siya, siya 'yung darkest tapos maganda pa 'yung balahibo, cute. Pero hindi talaga siya masyadong nakikihalubilo dun sa mga hindi masyadong malalaki. Dun lang siya sa mga malalaki talaga, parang parents talaga hanap niya 'no? Pero good kasi mayroong nag-aalaga sa kanya," she said.
The MMFF 2025 Best Actor flew to Japan recently to grace the Philippines-Japan Film Festival 2026 where her movies, And The Breadwinner is... and Call Me Mother were screened.
Meanwhile, catch Vice Ganda and Ion Perez in the noontime variety show, It's Showtime, every Monday to Saturday, 12 noon, on GMA and Kapuso Stream.
