During the initial half of the show, which aired via the Zoom app, the madlang people still had the chance to shine as two families from Pampanga and Capiz won P15,000 with their dance covers of “Corona Ba-Bye Na,” Vice’s new single.

The hosts also had funny banters as they competed in a game where they answered a series of questions from Tiyang Amy, while the latter half of the show brought back past TNT performances.

Meanwhile, the noontime show announced its new segment “Biyayanihan” where viewers will have the chance to help others in the comfort of their homes.
