I had to say this and I wish that it gets published. Everyone with even just a little concern for the children should agree that Vice Ganda has really turned out to be a ‘vice’ in SHOWTIME. Vice Ganda has turned a noontime GP (General Patronage) talent show into a Male Pa
geant. At times he has turned the wholesome show into what seems to be an UNCLAD MALE STRIP SHOW. By way of giving out his comments on the performing groups, using his creative “Joke lang” style to try to put some wholesome touch to what is really a ‘gay seduction’ scheme, in blatant explicit words, he pegs material items like cellphone and expensive rubber shoes (sneakers) to gorgeous young men (usually minors below 18). It has been this way since the start of the show. What is alarming is that it’s getting worse. The “style” by which Vice Ganda had made almost all of his comments (as judge of a talent show) is patronizing handsome young men with buff bodies to be in the performance regardless of a good performing talent. As he always quipped “kahit nakatayo ka na lang dyan” (even if you just have to stand there) during the performance he will grant the group the highest score of 10. To this day, all group efforts to do a great performance has to put in a GORGEOUS YOUNG HUNK GUY in their show to please the “head” of the jury, and that guy don’t even have to be a good stage performer (aside from a gay show) in that sense. I am not against the gay thing for I am even for gay respect and liberty, more so I love Vice Ganda perform at his own shows as a gay stand up comedian but his way of judging a mostly youth dominated talent show at noontime on national television is something not very appropriate. All I could suggest to the ABS-CBN Executive Officers and Management that Vice Ganda be requested to tone down or better yet avoid such Male patronizing comments. Otherwise, have him beside Anne Curtis as host instead. I do hope that the ABS-CBN executives gets this message first before MTRCB does.

This is from a female point of view.I do understand that Vice notices the sexy goodlooking young men in showtime..but arent we all like to see beautiful creatures? And vice has the tact and art of cracking it in a very hilarious form which im sure the audience loves.considering the fact that he is gay doesnt make it sound foul. If u realized the showtime is the most watched noontime show now.As evidenced to the number of people watching the show . However,I also witnessed the fact that he makes a fair and just comments to those contestants.. he even shares a good and inspiring comments to the children..
minors in our country are not ignorant to the population of gays as they are not ignorant on their gender preferences and their actions.We should stop saying that this minors should be protected of the so called cliche “wag kang magsalita ng ganyan kasi minors pa yan”..we have gone through those and let us open our eyes,instead ,let them be aware of the real world..and prepare them so that by then they will be protected and thus they can protect themselves .
sharing and commenting funny statements on the show is just an icing to the cake..at the end of it ,he always justify it with grace and intelligence!!cheers to you vice!!keep it up!!!
