Vice Ganda chided over what happened in the Easter presscon in a Showtime episode on Thursday, April 21.
During the presscon on Sunday, April 17, Manila Mayor Isko Domagoso requested Vice President Leni Robredo to withdraw from the presidential race.
Easter presscon attendees then distanced themselves from Moreno following his appeal to Robredo.
Actor Inah Evans shared a video of Vice commenting about the presscon on Twitter.
“Parang yung presscon yan eh ending naglaglagan sila, diba yung magkaka kampi tas ang ending naglaglagan kung sino talaga,” Vice said.
“Hahahaha malapit na malapit na,” Evans captioned his post.

Moreno’s running mate Doc. Willie Ong also thought that the mayor’s actions were undesirable.
Domagoso’s chief strategist Lito Banayo confirmed that Moreno’s decision “was not a team call but an off-the-cuff comment.
“And since the Leni partisans, including Tim Orbos and his companions, called for a ‘supreme sacrifice’ so that [Marcos] Jr. can be defeated, Mayor Isko challenged VP Leni to do that sacrifice and withdraw from the race,” Banayo noted.
In a tweet on Monday, April 11, comedian Krissy Achino has come to the defense of Vice following some netizen’s demands for him to come out and join the pink campaign.
Krissy mentioned that most of Vice’s talents and closest friends are already part of the movement, so there is no point in asking where Vice Ganda’s sector is sitting in the campaign.
Recently, Vice created a buzz online after donning a pink outfit on It’s Showtime, causing netizens to assume that he is a Kakampink. On Monday, April 18, the comedian-host hosted the noontime show with a top and shoes with a touch of pink, and his socks also have prints of roses.
