John Lapus interrogated by Janno Gibbs and Dennis Trillo on his own "Showbiz Central" segment

John “Sweet” Lapus gets the birthday gift of his life by getting a taste of his own medicine—getting strapped to the lie-detector machine and answering questions from Showbiz Central’s surprise interrogators on his popular segment, “Don’t Lie to Me.” Sweet celebrates his birthday today, July 7.

The already-strapped Sweet was already squealing the moment the camera panned on his sweaty face. His nervousness, as well as his squeal, escalated when he heard a booming voice saying, "Sweet, are you ready?"

The first interrogator was none other than Janno Gibbs, one of Sweet's friends. However, Sweet didn't exactly look too good upon seeing Janno as he blurted, "My God! Huwag naman ikaw! Please naman!"

In a sweet tone, Janno shot, "Handa ka na ba, Sweet? Ako naman ang gaganti! Alam mo, kahit hindi pa ako nasasalang diyan, e, napahamak na ako ng lie-detector test na ‘yan, alam ko!"

Before Sweet can object, Janno immediately mimicked Sweet's voice while saying the standard spiel Sweet used before commencing the "interrogation." Sweet can just laugh as sweat trickled down his face.

It was now or never.

"Okay, Sweet," Janno began in a serious tone, "sabi-sabi ng mga bakla sa parlor, aside from your tummy and chin, mayroon ka pa bang ipina-enhance sa katawan mo na ayaw mong aminin?"

"No," Sweet calmly said. And true enough, his answer netted a "truth" from the machine. Sweet voluntarily shared that he plans to visit the doctor next year for a lip improvement, saying that he wanted "Angelina Jolie" lips.

"Ako, balak ko magpa-lipo ng ilong!" Janno quipped. After the laughs died down, he commenced his interrogation. He asked, "Kanina, akala mo na si Rufa Mae Quinto yung Kapuso girl na naging espesyal na bahagi ng buhay mo. Bakit naisip mo na si Rufa Mae yun? Ikaw ba, e, may itinatagong pagnanasa kay Rufa Mae Quinto?"

Sweet laughed like a maniac before answering a confident "No!" True to his word, and his sexuality, his answer resulted in a "Truth."

Unfazed by Sweet's score, Janno moved on to a more serious question. He asked, "After ng breakup mo ng huli mong karelasyon, sobrang depressed mo daw kaya ang mga friends mo ang nagdala sa iyo sa isang psychiatrist. Noong time na yun, is it true na muntik ka na daw mag suicide?"

"No," Sweet said, eyes furrowed in concentration. However, it wasn't enough as the machine gave out a "Lie." Sweet can only scream in protest as Janno did a perfect signature Sweet dance move. After the dance and screaming ended, Sweet was asked to explain.

"Nakakaloka!" Sweet exclaimed. "Muntik na akong gumawa ng homicide, pero wala akong balak mag-suicide! Hindi talaga, promise! Nabingi lang yung lie detector, and dinig sa homicide, e, suicide!"

Facing the audience, Janno asked if they wanted him to ask more questions. When the crowd shouted a "Yes!" Sweet jokingly said, "Hindi na ako magsasabi ng sikreto sa ‘yo!"

Ignoring him, Janno moved on to the next question. "Best friend mo si Kris Aquino. At marami kang alam tungkol sa kanya. Totoo bang just recently, e, naghiwalay na sila ni James Yap?"

"No," Sweet answered. When "Truth" came out, Sweet was asked if he wanted to share anything about Kris's situation. However, Sweet just said, "Kami ni Kris, we don't talk about those things. So, narinig ko lang din at nababasa sa diyaryo. Naghiwalay sandali lang ‘tapos nag-ayos. So, ganoon."

"Okay, sige," Janno said. "Actually, ubos na yung tanong ko. Kaya gagawa na lang ako ng sarili ko. Speaking of Kris, ang sabi sa akin ng mga bakla sa parlor, e, birthday daw ng anak niya sa Boracay. Totoo ba na ginulat mo ang mga mangingisda noong natagpuan ka nila ng madaling araw sa gitna ng batu-batuhan. Don't lie to me, yes or no?"

Sweet face registered shock when he heard Janno's detailed question on what those fishermen saw on that morning. After a series of screams, Sweet broke down like a criminal caught red-handed and wailed a resounding "Yes! Yes!" Of course, the machine gave out a "Truth." What happened that morning was true, and Sweet didn't want to explain the details. Janno teased the audience by saying that a birthday cake was involved. That's it.

A NEW INTERROGATOR. The day was not over for Sweet as he faced another interrogator in the form of none other than his ultimate crush, Dennis Trillo. This time, the nervousness in Sweet's voice was gone, it was now nervousness mixed with adoration as Dennis ran up the stage to greet the screaming fans, of course, with Sweet one for them.

"Sweet, ready ka na ba?" Dennis asked. "Tignan mo naman ang panahon, parang gulong lang. Noong nag-guest ako dito, e, ako ang kinabitan ng ganyan [strap], e..."

"Ki-kiss mo din ba ako?!" Sweet immediately inquired.

"'Pag nakumpleto mo lahat," Dennis said. Without wasting time, he asked the first question, "Sa mga sketches mo at stand-up acts, lagi mong pina-punchline si Angelica Jones. Pero lagi mo ba siyang pinagti-tripan siya dahil insecure ka sa flawless niyang balat?"

"No," Sweet curtly said as he raised his eyebrows. As the lie detector matched his answer with "Truth," he explained that "ka-punchline-punchline naman si Angelica Jones, ‘no? Yun lang yun!"

Next one was, "Totoo bang isang beses na naka-date mo ang isang sikat na basketball player na type mo?"

"No!" Sweet yelled. However, it turned out as a "Lie." Dennis then did his dance routine, which made Sweet comment, "Akala ko gagawin niya yung macho dance routine doon sa Magdusa Ka!"

A smiling Dennis asked, "Teka, ako nagtataka. Sino ba yung player na yun?"

Sweet protested, "Promise, hindi sikat! Huwag na kayo maingya! Hindi sikat! Estudyante! Haha!"

LAST QUESTION WILL BE FROM MOMMY. Dennis' role as interrogator was now over and he handed over the last question to the one person who can quiet Sweet in his tracks-his mother.

Mrs. Sally Lapus, through video, asked, "Sweet, kung saka-sakaling may mag-offer na mother na ikaw ang magiging father, papayag ka ba na magkaroon ako ng isang apo at mag-spread ka ng lahi mo?"

"Nakakaloka mommy ko! No!" Sweet squealed. As the word "Truth" popped out, Sweet didn't disappoint his mom's question by saying, "Open ako sa concept ng adoption! Gusto ko ng little girl na Caucasian."
