Vice Ganda finds his purpose in life
Yahoo! OMG! Awards Comedian of the Year Vice Ganda shared that making people happy is not just a job. It’s his purpose in life.
“Unang-una, hindi ko na iniisip na trabaho ito, feeling ko purpose ko na ito sa buhay. Naa-achieve ko na ang purpose ko, kumikita pa ako,” Vice Ganda said in an interview at the Yahoo! OMG Awards 2012 held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday, July 6.
The host of “It’s Showtime” and “Gandang Gabi Vice” admits he gets exhausted, but he doesn’t want to get tired making people happy.
“Physically I’m tired kasi everyday ako nagwowork. Nung isang araw, I worked for 16 hours. Napapagod yung katawan ko pero ayaw kong mapagod magpatawa.”
Spontaneity
Vice Ganda thinks reinvention and spontaneity account for his appeal to the masses. He doesn’t rely on scripts and keeps abreast of current events.
"Wala talaga akong clear effort for reinvention, hindi sinasadya. Maswerte lang ako na may panahon ako makanood ng news, magbasa ng kung ano-ano, kaya lagi akong may bagong nabibigay. Mahirap kasi pag komedyante ka, may dala kang script. Hindi kasi ako sanay sa ganoon. Kaya laging bago kasi spontaneous, kung ano lang ang makita ko sa araw na iyon.”
The two-time Yahoo! OMG! Awards Comedian of the Year awardee shares his latest victory with fans who have tirelessly campaigned for him.
“Happy ako na ako ang binoto nila for Comedian of the Year. Natutuwa ako sa mga awards na ganito kasi ang bumuboto mga tao, hindi yung mga certain organizations or clubs ang nagdedecide. Ito buong Pilipinas, pati yung mga Pilipino sa ibang bansa kasi through online and texting.”
Metro Filmfest comedy
Vice Ganda revealed that he will co-star with Kris Aquino in a comedy for the Metro Manila Filmfest after “This Guy’s in Love with You Mare,” his movie with Toni Gozaga.
“First filmfest ko ito. Noon ko pa pangarap makasakay sa float. Dati nga dream ko parang gusto ko maging bahagi ng `Shake, Rattle and Roll.’ Nakaka-artista,” he said.
He denied rumors that he and Vhong Navarro had a misunderstanding.
“Sobrang hindi totoo. Unang-una hindi naman iyon papatol sa akin si Vhong para makipag-away. Hindi ganoon ang pagkatao ni Vhong Navarro,” Vice explained.
He would rather focus on his blessings and priorities rather than negative issues.
“Fino-focus ko lang ang sarili ko sa priority at goals ko sa buhay ko. Siguro kung lahat iyon nagpa-apekto ako, baka marami na akong nakaaaway at nakakulong na ako ngayon. Yung iba kasi talaga sobrang ang sasama, may intensyong masama kung bakit inalalabas, naninira na lang talaga ng mga tao. Pero ipanagpasa-Diyos ko na lang.”
