Towards the conclusion, the video conveyed a powerful message that resonated with many: “Kahit mahirap kang ipaglaban, pinipili pa rin kita, Pilipinas”.
The video garnered praise from Filipino netizens for its timeliness and depth, despite numerous celebrities having previously participated in the trend.

Clear visual with a muted sound. Same goes with today’s society – Klarong klarong nakikita pero may nananatiling bingi-bingihan at may pilit na tinatanggalan ng boses.
Para sa MEMEmeyeng Pilipino!
Para sa Madlang Pilipinas! #PiliinMoAngPilipinas 🇵🇭@vicegandako— PAWI (@pawilectura) May 10, 2024

Vice Ganda really lived by Ma’am Leni’s statement — “Ang namulat, ‘di na muling mapipikit. Hindi natin kailanman hahayaang makatulog muli ang pag-asang nagising.”

and this is why they’re scared of her. why they consistently come up with ways to shut her down.
for so long, we’ve seen cishetero patriarchy prevail within the corners of our households through our media. vice breaks that culture and REINFORCES CHANGE. https://t.co/B5rc0ko2aA

Sa dami ng entry for #PiliinMoAngPilipinas, bigla kong narealize na most of this “influencers” ay pinili lang nila ang Pilipinas, pero di nila kaya ‘tong ipaglaban. — Yung ginusto lang pero ‘di pinursue. Si Vice Ganda lang may tapang. Sanaol! Sayang mga Platforms niyo. Emz 🙂🇵🇭
