Unkabogable star Vice Ganda shared how ‘Eat Bulaga’ mainstay Allan K inspired him early in his career.
In a recent interview with content creator and drag queen Viñas DeLuxe, Vice looked back on the people who motivated him to dream big and pursue success.
“Si Regine Velasquez, inspiration ko ‘yan. ‘Yung mga nauna sa akin sa industry, sila John Lapus, sila Allan K. Inspiration ko sila, lalo na si Allan K,” Vice revealed. “Dinala niya kasi ako once sa bahay niya. Nagsisimula pa lang ako, tapos, gandang-ganda ako sa bahay niya. Tapos sabi ko, ‘ang ganda naman nitong bahay na ‘to.’ May swimming pool pa siya. Sabi ko, ‘hindi ko na maa-achieve ‘to.’ Pero sabi niya, ‘maa-achieve mo ‘yan, baka nga more pa.’ Tapos parang na-inspire ako masyado.”
When asked what he would say to his younger self, Vice—affectionately known as “Tutoy” during his early years—delivered an empowering message.
“To young Tutoy, iko-congratulate ko siya. Congratulations kay Tutoy because eversince you believed that you are limitless. Si Tutoy never na-satisfy kaya congratulations dahil ‘yung pagiging ambisyosa mo may pinagdalan sa ‘yo sa mga sumunod na taon ng buhay mo,” he said.
Fast forward to 2025, Vice Ganda is at the pinnacle of his career. He owns multiple luxurious homes, supports his family, and enjoys a thriving personal life. His noontime show, ‘It’s Showtime’, continues to lead the ratings on GMA Network, and his Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2024 entry, ‘And The Breadwinner Is…’, garnered critical acclaim and box office success.
