“Being able to sleep happily and not being completely exhausted… Being able to sleep for a long time,” Vice shared when asked about his perspective.

He explained that in the past, his idea of success was connected to money and material things.

“Before, when you didn’t have much, your concept of success was tied to finances… Once you got that, it was no longer your concept of success.”

Now, Vice finds fulfillment in rest and bonding with family. He noted that while he once dreamed of owning a large house, his perspective has changed.

“I think I prefer a smaller house. Before, I wanted a big house… But there’s also beauty in simplicity, yung sapat lang (just enough).”

He added that peace of mind is far more valuable than possessions.

“I realized na yung mahalaga talaga may matulugan ka na mapayapa (what’s really important is being able to sleep peacefully). And maintaining good relationships…”
Vice also emphasized the lessons he draws from different kinds of people. “Even short-term friendships, I still get something from them. Fun for the time being and experience. And I also learn from them.”
For the comedian, even unpleasant encounters offer wisdom. “Yung mga kagaguhan ng ibang tao, I also learn from them… It’s good if you have a group that makes you feel safe. But even if not, may nakukuha ka (lesson).”
