Comedian-host Vice Ganda re-shared an episode from his now-defunct game show Everybody Sing to campaign for his Presidential bet Leni Robredo.
On May 1, Vice Ganda sealed his support for Robredo by sharing a video clip about the story of an Everybody Sing contestant named ‘Harra’ who is a factory worker.

The clip was from an August 2021 episode of the said game show where they invited factory workers to play and have a chance to win the jackpot prize of ₱500K.
The story of Harra immensely moved Vice Ganda.
Accordingly, she has nine siblings, and she lost her job during the pandemic so, her parents sacrificed themselves just to give way to her siblings.
“Hindi ko kasi kaya ‘yung istorya ni Harra. Hindi kumakain ‘yung nanay at tatay niya kasi hindi sapat. Hindi ko kaya ‘yun, na uuwi siya, tapos mangyayari na naman ‘yun sa kanila,” Vice Ganda said.
Vice Ganda then threw tirades against corrupt government officials.
“Hindi nakakakain ‘yung nanay at tatay mo dahil hindi talaga kasya. Nakakadurog iyon ng puso, tapos may mababalitaan ka na may mga government officials na hindi pa sapat ‘yung yaman nila, kumukuha pa ng pera,” Vice Ganda said.
At that time, the issue regarding the PhilHealth corruption was trending. With this, he pointed out that these funds should have been distributed to the less fortunates and not to the pockets of the officials.
“Dapat pinaghahati-hatian n’yo na ‘yun, eh, iyong ilang bilyon na nawawala, pero hindi natin maipaliwanag kung kanino napunta, kung sino ang guminhawa doon,” the comedian said.
Luckily, the factory workers won the jackpot prize, and Vice Ganda was ecstatic about their victory, knowing that the show was able to help them even in a little way. The host also promised to help Harra in paying their rent.
As the show ended, Vice Ganda reminded the viewers to choose their leaders well in the upcoming election so that they will ‘win’ every day.
“Ang sarap sa pakiramdam ng nananalo, ‘no? Kung puwede lang sana tayong nananalo every day. Kaya sana sa eleksyon, tayo ang manalo. Hirap na hirap na kayo, o. Kaya sana sa eleksyon tayo ang manalo.”
Vice Ganda reiterated this line in his shared tweet and said that Filipinos would also win if VP Leni Robredo led the nation.
“Kay Leni Robredo TAYONG MGA PILIPINO ang panalo.”
On April 23, Vice Ganda made a surprise appearance at the Leni-Kiko rally in Pasay. He finally came out as a ‘Kakampink’ after showing hints online and on TV.
