Ice Seguerra returns to 'Eat Bulaga' as show director

MANILA, Philippines, May 29 ------ Singer-director Ice Seguerra came full circle by going back to "Eat Bulaga," this time as a director on the noontime variety show.

Ice broke out by joining a pageant on the show back when he was three years old, later becoming a child co-host on "Eat Bulaga" for the next decade and often co-starring with fellow host Vic Sotto in the latter's movies. Since departing the show, Ice has made a career as a singer-songwriter. He then created Fire and Ice Entertainment with his wife Liza Diño to kickstart directing and producing different creative ventures.

The latest of these is becoming a director on "Eat Bulaga" earlier this week as the show shared photos of Ice manning the computers. "Balik kung saan nagsimula. But this time, as director of my home — Eat Bulaga. Waaah!! Grabe 'yung kaba ko," Ice wrote in one Facebook post as he remembered his late mother Caring. "Mama naalala ko, ikaw talaga nagmanifest nito dati. I hope I make you proud today."

Ice reflected more on his comeback in another Facebook post, admitting he had trouble sleeping the past few days because of overwhelming thoughts. "While I’m used to directing concerts, live TV is a totally different animal," Ice also said. "I have more to learn but I think today was a good day."

The singer-director expressed gratitude to several individuals, including TVJ Productions' chief operating officer Jeny Ferre, fellow "Eat Bulaga" director Poochie Rivera, camera technical director Paul Gozon and his controlmates. He ended his post thanking Liza and another tribute for his mother, "Ilang beses kang nag manifest noong nabubuhay ka pa. Eto na, mama! Nagkatotoo na!"
