Donita Rose, former MTV Asia VJ, now hosts a segment of ABS-CBN’s morning show, Umagang Kay Ganda. The usual spiel of a tv show host is to announce that they will be back after a commercial break and mentioning the show’s title.

So imagine one such morning when Donita Rose said this, “Magbabalik ang”…..,” Donita turning to the audience expecting it to shout their show, Umagang Kay Ganda, as the one people will shout, unexpectedly got the surprise of her life when the audience in turn shouted Unang Hirit!, Umagang Kay Ganda’ competitor.

This is a death sentence for any show actually. ABS-CBN already reformatted their morning show several times. Umagang Kay Ganda has been on air for several months already.
