Klarisse De Guzman is back on the “It’s Showtime” stage—and she brought both powerhouse vocals and heartfelt pride with her.
Performing an energetic medley of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” and “Fighter,” Klarisse wowed the crowd and hosts alike. Vhong Navarro described her as “OA sa galing,” while Jhong Hilario echoed, “Grabe ‘yung galing, ang OA,” in a nod to her iconic catchphrase from “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.”
Klarisse also re-enacted her viral moment from PBB with her memorable “OA! Sorry ah,” line, much to the audience’s delight.
After her set, she shared how thrilled she was to return. “Na-miss ko ‘tong Showtime,” she said. “After three months and a week, finally, I get to sing again.” During her break from showbiz, Klarisse revealed she had been working abroad as a cook to support her children.
She also teased ABS-CBN executives, jokingly requesting a cooking show next.
Klarisse expressed deep gratitude for the fans who supported her and her PBB duo partner, Shuvee Etrata. “I didn’t expect the kind of love we received. Feeling Gen Z ulit ako kahit tumanda na,” she joked.
She opened up about joining PBB to show her fun, quirky side—not just her image as a singer—and received emotional support from Vice Ganda and Kim Chiu for being her true self.
In a heartfelt moment, Klarisse publicly came out and gave a shoutout to her partner: “Hi Trina, thank you for never leaving me even during the times I couldn’t be proud of you. Now I can finally say, I love you, Trina.”
With tears and joy, she declared, “Love wins! Happy Pride, everyone.”
Klarisse, who previously judged “Tawag ng Tanghalan,” returned to “It’s Showtime” after her recent exit from the PBB house, where she and Shuvee left following a low vote percentage. They later reentered as duo challengers.
