Magpasikat (lit. Show-Off) is an annual anniversary segment of the Philippine noontime variety showIt's Showtime. First held in 2010 as a talent competition where the show's hosts and cast members competing in teams to showcase creative and performance-based productions, it is typically held as a week-long anniversary special, either during or leading up to the show's anniversary on October 24.
Team Ogie, Kim, MC, and Lassy emerged as final winners under the traditional format in 2024, as it switched to special performances, special segments and an awards segment named It's Showtime AWAAARD!, since 2025, due to the high costs of the performances.
Background
Magpasikat was first held on October 23, 2010, as part of It's Showtime's first anniversary celebration. It has since become an annual week-long tradition commemorating the show's anniversary. Exceptions occurred in 2020 and 2021, when the segment was held as a single-day event due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The name Magpasikat was also previously used in January 2010 as a temporary replacement for Showtime after it was suspended by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). The suspension followed a controversial remark made by guest judge Rosanna Roces regarding teachers. This interim program retained the original format but featured celebrity contestants. It aired only for a few days before Showtime resumed broadcast under a temporary restraining order.
Format
The It's Showtime cast and staff are typically divided into five teams through a random draw, which also determines the order of performances. Teams perform daily from Monday to Friday, with results announced on Saturday by either the voice of Big Brother, a panel of judges, or ABS-CBNCOO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes. A panel of guest hurados (judges) evaluates each performance. The team with the highest average score is awarded the top cash prize for their chosen beneficiary, while the remaining teams receive consolation prizes.
The second Magpasikat anniversary special was held during the week of October 17, 2011, featuring seven teams: Team Karylle, Team Billy, Team Anne, Team Vhong, Team Kuya Kim, Team Vice, and Team Jugs and Teddy. This edition marked the Magpasikat debuts of Karylle and Billy Crawford, who had joined It's Showtime as regular hosts earlier that year. The judging panel included Cathy Garcia-Molina, fashion stylist Liz Uy, entrepreneur Joel Cruz, celebrity doctor Manny Calayan, and Vicki Belo.
Anne Curtis was declared the winner, earning her first Magpasikat victory, while Billy Crawford and Vice Ganda were named runners-up.

The 16th edition of Magpasikat, subtitled 1t’s 6iving and titled MagPASKOsikat, aired from December 1 to 6, 2025. This year’s anniversary celebration departed from the traditional annual group performances, instead featuring special numbers from the hosts, a special edition of Laro Laro Pick (see below), and culminated with an awards show. It is also the second edition to air on both ALLTV and GMA.
This is the third Magpasikat to skip its traditional October schedule for the first time since its introduction in 2010. On October 24, 2025 – the exact anniversary date of It's Showtime – host Vice Ganda announced during the live broadcast that the traditional Magpasikat performances would not be held that year. According to Vice Ganda, the decision stemmed from the increasing production costs, with each team performance reportedly requiring ₱6 million to ₱10 million to produce. The host explained that the show "couldn’t afford it anymore" while maintaining the high creative standards set in previous years. Instead of the annual competition held in the previous years, It’s Showtime announced that its 16th anniversary celebration would focus on entertainment combined with public service and outreach to viewers. The decision was framed as a move toward a "more meaningful" form of celebration rather than a grand competition.
Day 2 showcased P-pop performances from both hosts and top groups. Darren Espanto opened with SB19’s “Dungka,” followed by Vxon with “The Beast.” DNA performed “Don’t Ask Me Why,” Kaia delivered sweet visuals, and 1621 impressed with their smooth “Bababa.” Wrive energized the crowd with “Ooh La La,” G22 captivated with their stage presence, and BGYO thrilled the audience. The episode closed with the debut of the “It’s Showtime” girl group SWT16—Kim Chiu, Jackie Gonzaga, Cianne Dominguez, and Anne Curtis—performing a red-hot “Pantropiko.”
Day 3 featured high-energy dance collaborations between the hosts and iconic groups. Jhong Hilario opened with the Kalinga Pattong, followed by MC Muah and Lassy with a fierce “Amakabogera.” Ion Perez and the A-Teak crew delivered a surprise hype performance, while Kim Chiu showcased her signature dance-floor power. The Sexbomb Girls, led by Rochelle Pangilinan, ignited the stage with a showdown against Jackie Gonzaga. Vhong Navarro impressed with a synchronized illusion-style routine, and the finale brought nostalgic excitement with The Streetboys’ performance alongside Vhong and Jhong.
It’s Showtime AWAARD! parodies traditional award shows by presenting and honoring the most iconic and humorous moments created by the hosts over the years. It aired over two days—on the final day of MagPASKOsikat (December 6), and on December 8, 2025. The segment was hosted by Ryan Bang, Jackie Gonzaga, Barbie Forteza, and Karylle.

Day 5 featured a vocal showcase bringing together homegrown singers from ABS-CBN’s Star Music and GMA Network’s GMA Music. Dubbed “The Clash of the Voices ng Tanghalan" (lit.'The Clash of the Voices of the Stage'), a portmanteau of the singing competitions The Clash and Tawag ng Tanghalan, of which the singers originally came from, the presentation celebrated Filipino vocal talent through a series of head-to-head singing competitions.
The performance opened with a comedic introduction featuring Anne Curtis and Jackie Gonzaga attempting a duet ("It's All Coming Back To Me Now"), with Anne singing off-key at intervals and Jackie delivering a deliberately off-key performance. The segment served as a humorous prelude to the introduction of the participating singers from both networks. The artists subsequently opened the main showcase with a powerful ensemble number ("This Is the Moment").
The presentation concluded with a grand ensemble finale ("This Is the Moment"; reprise) featuring all the participating singers, joined by Anne and Jackie.
NOTE: The performance was directed by musical director Chuck Joson.

Day 1 (Monday, October 19)
Cash-Ya! Kaya!
Team Vhong
Team Vice
In Cash-Ya! Kaya!, two teams compete in challenges that test their strategy, estimation, and teamwork to win ₱10,000 for distribution among the studio audience. The team leaders bid on how many members they believe can successfully complete the assigned task. The winning team receives the prize, while the losing team faces a punishment.
In this episode, Team Vhong competed against Team Vice. The challenge required the participants to move a towel from a starting point to a finish line within one minute, with everyone remaining on the towel and no part of their bodies or clothing touching the floor. The entire towel also had to cross the finish line.
The bidding began with a rock-paper-scissors game between the team leaders to determine who would bid first. Team Vice initially proposed two participants before settling on six for the challenge. Both teams then attempted to determine how many members could successfully complete the task.
During the challenge, Team Vice struggled to coordinate its six participants and failed to cross the finish line within the time limit. Team Vhong consequently won the ₱10,000 prize, which was divided among five audience members receiving ₱2,000 each. Team Vice, meanwhile, faced a punishment requiring its members to shake off all the clothespins attached to their clothing without manually removing them.
Teams:
Team Vhong: Vhong, Jhong, Karylle, Teddy, Ogie, Wize, and Sheena
Team Vice: Vice, Jackie, Darren, Jugs, Ion, Lorraine, and Johaira
Day 2 (Tuesday, October 20)
Ansabe?!

Team A and Team B 3 out of 6 words each
Ansabe?! is a guessing game in which players attempt to identify words based on mouth movements. The hosts, including those from Showtime Online Ü and Showtime Kids, are divided into three groups: Teams A, B, and C. Each team has a designated leader and a BuliLip (Bulilit Lip) Reader, who must guess six words read individually by six team members. The BuliLip Reader is positioned far from the other hosts to prevent them from hearing the words.
Each game lasts one minute and 30 seconds (1:30). The winning team awards ₱10,000 to five randomly selected audience members, who receive ₱2,000 each. The other losing teams received a punishment in which all its members must smash their faces into a pillow covered in baby powder.
Teams:
Team A: Vhong, Karylle, Ryan, Ion, Enicka, Anne, and Jaze
Team B: Jhong, Darren, Teddy, Jackie, Briseis, Mackie, and Argus
