Phenomenal Box-Office Star Vice Ganda has confirmed participation in the mass protest against corruption happening on Sunday, September 21, joining fellow celebrities and personalities who will take to the streets to call out government abuse and anomalous projects.
On her Instagram story, the Unkabogable Star rallied supporters to stand together at Luneta: “Magkita-kita tayo sa Luneta sa Linggo. Oras na para wakasan ang kagarapalan ng mga hayop na magnanakaw sa gobyerno.”
While earlier reports noted uncertainty if Vice would head to Luneta or the EDSA People Power Monument, her camp has confirmed she will indeed show up at one of the major venues of the protest.
Vice has previously spoken out about the double standards in how society and authorities treat the poor compared to the wealthy.
“‘Yung mga nahuhuling tindera, ‘yung mga sidewalk vendors, kapag nahuhuli ‘yan, kinukumpiska, minsan sinisira ang paninda, ‘di ba? Kinukulong. Hindi ko rin malaman paano ko sasabihin,” she said.
She added: “Sinasabi natin na hindi legal ang pwesto ninyo, pero kawawa, ‘di ba? Sinasira ang gamit, kinukulong, eh kung tutuusin maliit lang ‘yun. ‘Yung malalaking mga krimen ang ginagawa, hindi naman natin nakikitang nakukulong.”
The September 21 “Baha sa Luneta” and EDSA rallies are being organized in response to the multibillion-peso flood control project scandal, with protesters calling for accountability from government officials and contractors allegedly involved.
