Vice has never been one to shy away from commenting on the state of the country. She has been outspoken about corruption and has previously used her platform to call for accountability and justice, particularly during issues involving massive flood control funds. Because of this social relevance, people often look to her as a potential leader, leading to the frequent "Pres Ganda" chants from her supporters.
The topic came up again recently during the "Laro Laro Pick" segment of the variety show It’s Showtime. Her close friend and co-host, Anne Curtis, voiced what many followers have been thinking. Anne told her, “Alam mo dapat, tumakbo ka kaya. Iboboto kita.” This sparked excitement in the studio, but Vice Ganda’s reaction was immediate and firm.

Remaining unchanged in her stance, Vice quickly shut down the idea. She clarified that her role is in the world of glamour and entertainment, not governance. “I am a beauty queen. I am not politician. I’m just a beautiful face in the industry. Let’s not entertain the thought. No,” the superstar comedian stated, choosing to maintain her peace of mind over the complexities of public service.
As the studio crowd continued to cheer for "Pres Ganda," Vice appealed to the viewers to see the situation for what it was—a lighthearted moment between friends. She explained that she is currently happy and at peace with her life as an artist. She expressed concern that these jokes might lead to more online harassment from those who are actually running for office.
“Tama na ‘yang biro-biro. Nagbibiruan lang po kami ritong magkakapatid. Huwag po kayong nagpapaniwala. Iba-bash na naman ako ng mga alaga nang mga tatakbo talaga. Akala talaga nila totoong tatakbo ako. Naku huwag niyo po akong sinasama-sama,” Vice added.
Vice Ganda, born Jose Marie Viceral, started her career in comedy bars before becoming a household name. As the "Unkabogable Star," she has broken box office records and become a cultural icon. While she continues to use her voice to highlight social injustices, she remains committed to her craft as a performer, proving that one can be socially active without holding a seat in the government.
Her recent clarification serves as a reminder of her dedication to her current career. While fans continue to admire her bravery in speaking truth to power, Vice is making it clear that her "throne" remains on the stage and in front of the camera, far away from the world of ballots and campaigns.
Aside from addressing political rumors, Vice Ganda has also been vocal about professional standards within the industry. In a recent statement, she shared some intriguing thoughts regarding guest artists who seem to lack energy during their live television appearances. She emphasized the importance of giving one's best performance for the audience's sake.
On a lighter note, the comedian also made headlines for her playful interactions with her "It's Showtime" co-stars. Vice Ganda recently teased Ryan Bang by calling him a "bachelor" again, which sparked more rumors regarding the status of Ryan and Paola Huyong’s relationship. The humorous exchange quickly trended as fans speculated on the couple's current situation.
