Bayani Agbayani is busy in GMA-7

AFTER BEING being absent at ABS-CBN for so long, Bayani Agbayani finds himself super busy now that he's with GMA-7. He plays one of the teachers and also the ninong of Joshua Dionisio in "First Time", Monday to Friday at 6 PM, and he's also one of the title rolers in "Meet The Fathers" on SRO Cinemaserye every Thursday. "I'm so thankful kasi pagbalik ko sa GMA, I felt dalawang kamay nila, nakabukas para sa akin," he says. "Ano pang hihilingin ko? May drama, may comedy at bibigyan pa ko ng isang daily late morning show, 'Diz Iz It', and a children's show. I'm so glad busy uli ako."

But he didn't burn his bridges with ABS. "Nagpaalam akong maayos sa kanila at pinayagan naman nila ako. They understand naman na bilang artista, kailangang humanap ka kung saan ka may trabaho kasi may binubuhay akong pamilya. Parang nag-homecoming lang naman ako sa GMA kasi dito talaga ko nagsimula at ang name kong Bayani Agbayani, si Ma'am Wilma Galvante ng GMA ang nagbigay sa'kin. Dito ko nagsimula, dito na rin ako tatanda. Nag-start ako rito as part ng production, kaya kahit mawala ako sa harap ng camera, I can work here na part ng production team as I have many ideas I can share with them."

Two of Bayani's shows, "First Time" and "Diz Iz It" will start airing tomorrow. "Diz Iz It" replaces "Sis" at 10:30 AM and his co-hosts are the sexy Ehra Madrigal, the hilarious Shivaker and bubbly Korean host Grace Lee, with Maricel Soriano as guest celebrity judge who'll also do a special dance number choreographed by Geleen Eugenio. A combination talent and game show, five contestants will vie for the P50,000.00 daily cash prize by performing their unique but entertaining production numbers. Aside from the major prize in the Best in Talent segment, an additional P30,000.00 in the game show proper awaits the winner. “Diz Iz It!” likewise features an on the spot contest among the selected audience who will be given 45 seconds to exhibit their hidden talents. A portion is also alloted for the audience to greet their families, friends and loved ones but with a different flavor! Adding glitter and pomp to the show is the extraordinary display of lights and overwhelming stage that transformed the Cinema 3 of SM Megamall into virtual ampitheater! But of course, several surprises will spring on the show’s pilot telecast that should not be missed! Get ready to transform your mornings into a non-stop merriment and fun with the advent of “Diz Iz It!” from Mondays-Saturdays at 10-30AM-12noon!
