It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda is proud of himself that he hasn’t gone out of the house during the enhanced community quarantine.
In their live segment of It’s Showtime via Zoom App, one of the things that he said he’s proudest of is not going out of his house.
“Alam mo yun ang isang bagay na proud na proud ako, hindi talaga ako lumabas ng bahay, ni hindi ako nag bukas ng pinto, hindi ako tumapak sa labas, hindi talaga.”
He also shared that if the people inside his house will go out, they can’t come back inside.
“Yun ang ikinaka proud ko atsaka pinag bawal ko talaga sa lahat ng tao sa bahay na bawal lumabas. Pag lumabas ng bahay hindi na makakabalik.”
But, Vice Ganda understands other Filipinos’ situation who need to go out, especially in this time of crisis.
“Yun na yung pinaka ambag ko dito sa mga pangyayari, hinde talaga ako lalabas ng bahay. Although, nauunawaan ko yung mga kailangan lumabas, yung mga frontliners natin.
“Lalabas talaga sila, yung mga kumailangan mag taguyod ng kanilang pamilya, mga talagang walang choice.”
Recently, Vice Ganda was the subject of criticism on Twitter after his latest Tiktok video calling out people who still go out of the house went viral.
One netizen shared that Vice Ganda’s video pointed out how he failed to grasp the reality of the quarantine extension.
“Somebody tell Vice Ganda na nag extend ang quarantine dahil huli ang mass testing at walang concrete plans ang gobyerno to flatten the curve. Hindi kasalanan ng tao.”
