Vicky Morales says she distances herself from the selection of stories featured in Wish Ko Lang.

 

"I don't take an active role in it. It's my staff that does it. Kasi ayaw ko namang masabihan na nilalako ko yung sarili kong ano, kasi kakilala ko yung gan'yan. Kaya I always try to stay away from the selecting process," she says.

Hindi makapaniwala si Vicky Morales na magtatagal ang kanyang show na Wish Ko Lang, ang GMA-7 public-affairs show na may layuning tuparin ang mga kahilingan ng mga manonood.

Ngayong buwan, magdiriwang ng ika-walong taon sa telebisyon ang Wish Ko Lang. Nagsimula ito noong 2002 with Bernadette Sembrano as its original host, at marami-rami na ring katapat na programang napatumba.

Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang miyembro ng entertainment press si Vicky sa isa pocket interview noong Martes, Nobyembre 20, sa executive lounge ng GMA-7.

EIGHT YEARS. Hindi man si Vicky ang naunang host ng show, proud pa rin siya na isa na ito sa mga long-running shows sa Pilipinas.

Kuwento ni Vicky, may nag-predict kasi na hindi tatagal ang Wish Ko Lang.

"May staff na pumuntang manghuhula. Sabi ng manghuhula, hanggang seven years nga lang ang itatagal ng Wish Ko Lang.

"Sabi ko, wow! Tatagal kami hanggang seven years, that's long! Parang hindi ko maisip.

"Ngayon, eight years na tayo. I didn't think that we would actually last for that long," saad niya.

Marami-rami na rin kasi ang mga hit shows na tumapat na sa Wish Ko Lang. Ilan sa mga ito ay ang dating horror series ng ABS-CBN na Nginiiig!, ang wish-granting show ni Willie Revillame na Willingly Yours, ang public affairs program na Failon Ngayon!, at maging ang mga lumang pelikula ni Fernando Poe Jr. na Cinema FPJ.

Ayon kay Vicky, maraming pagkakataon na nag-alala sila dahil natatalo sila sa ratings ng mga show na ito.

"Parang sometimes, iniisip namin, 'Naku, dyusko...' Usually the first few episodes, talagang, 'Paano tayo magre-recover.' Pero after a while, o 'yon," saad ni Vicky.

Dagdag niya, tumagal daw ang Wish Ko Lang dahil mabuti ang hangarin nito.

"Maybe that's the potent effect of Wish Ko Lang.

"Somehow, may suwerte siyang dala because of all the good vibes. Feeling ko, 'yon.

"Kasi sabi ko, it has to be more than what we do in the show. Maybe there's a certain magic."
