In a recent segment of ‘It’s Showtime,’ Unkabogable star Vice Ganda ignited a conversation on family planning by sharing candid views that underscore the importance of financial stability before starting a family.
The discussion unfolded during the ‘EXpecially For You’ segment, where Vice Ganda expressed a belief that individuals should refrain from embarking on family life if they lack the necessary financial means.
“This opinion might offend other people pero kung wala kang pera, ‘wag kang gumawa ng pamilya,” commented the TV host-comedian.
Vice Ganda elaborated on the potential challenges that may arise, especially for children, when parents find it difficult to provide for their basic needs. He emphasized the significance of self-sufficiency, asserting that individuals bear the ultimate responsibility for their own well-being.
“Dahil kawawa lalong-lalo na kung may iluluwal kang batang hindi mo mapapakain nang maayos.”
“At the end of the day, ikaw ang sasalba sa sarili mo. Hindi ibang tao, ni hindi gobyerno. Ikaw,” emphasized Vice Ganda.
The comedian’s straightforward advice prompted a diverse range of reactions from netizens. Some concurred, stressing that love alone might not be sufficient and underscoring the responsibility of ensuring a family’s financial stability.
Others countered, arguing that financial challenges can be overcome, and decisions about family size are personal matters.
