You’ll never understand the plight of other unless you experience it first-hand. For the Kapamilya TV host and actress Anne Curtis, this is exactly what she realized in a special episode of the hit noontime show “It’s Showtime” for the Lenten season. The 33-year-old actress disguised as a vendor for a day to help Maring and Carlos Cinco to sell rags at a footbridge and highway. According to her, she needed to dress like a rag vendor to avoid the public’s attention.

Curtis took up the challenge of doing the job of Maring Cinco and her grandson Carlos for a day, while the rags maker and vendor, together with their family, were given the VIP treatment by other hosts of the noontime show. Curtis, known for her sartorial taste and regular OOTDs, was given a "makeover" -- apart from practical clothes to wear on the street, she wore a wig, a hat, and a face mask to conceal her identity.





Initially, Curtis stayed on a footbridge, until she was told by a barangay official that vendor…

Tunay na makamasa talaga si Raffy Tulfo sa loob at labas ng studio. Kahit na ang 58 year old na host ay off-duty mula sa  kanyang palabas, ay sinisigurado na niya na makakatulong siya sa iba at masososlusyonan ang problema ng ibang tao. Isang halimbawa neto ay ung saan ay nakakita siya ng isang taxi driver na hindi nagsakay ng isang pasahero.

Bagamat ang Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) ay mainit na sinasapubliko ang laban sa mga taxi drivers na mahilig hindi magsakay ng mga pasahero, madami padin ang mga drivers ang may matitigas ang ulo ang nagkalat. Ngunit ang isang taxi driver ay nasampolan matapos niyang makatapat at mahuli sa akto ng walang iba kundi si Raffy Tulfo mismo.




Habang siya ay papasok papunta sakanyang show, nakuha ng kanyang atensyon ang isang matandang babae na may kapansanan ang sasakay sana ng taksi. Habang kasalukuyang tirik ang araw ay naghihintay ng taksi ang babaeng ito sa gilid ng kalsada. Ngunit sa hindi katagalan ay merong humint…
