Comedian and TV host Vice Ganda has once again spoken out against corruption, this time revisiting a song he recorded more than a decade ago.
In his latest Instagram Story, Vice shared a clip of his 2014 track ‘Aba Matindi,’ which directly addresses corruption in the country. Alongside the post, he wrote:
“Recorded this song about corruption in 2014. 11 years after, applicable pa din. At mas masahol pa,” capped with the hashtag #AbaMatindi.
The post featured an animated cartoon of a man wading through floodwaters while chasing after a boat—an image many interpreted as a timely reference to the government’s controversial flood control projects, which are now under investigation for alleged corruption.
Vice did not name specific individuals, but his statement comes amid mounting public outrage over anomalous multimillion-peso contracts of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Several construction firms tied to prominent political families have been flagged for questionable deals, while the children of some officials—dubbed “nepo babies”—have drawn flak for flaunting their lavish lifestyles online.
This is not the first time the Unkabogable Star has voiced his frustration as a taxpayer. During a London trip earlier this year, Vice lamented how his millions in taxes were allegedly being “split among shameless thieves.”
“Tapos bigla kong naalala ‘yung milyon-milyon kong tax na pinaghahatian ng mga garapal na magnanakaw. Aray ko!” he said in another Instagram post.
Vice has long used his platform to highlight social issues. From injecting satirical punchlines in concerts and TV appearances, to candid remarks on ‘It’s Showtime’, he has consistently linked humor with hard-hitting commentary.
