QUEZON CITY, Philippines – In a moment that has sent social media into a frenzy, Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda has once again proven that her support for former Vice President Leni Robredo remains as steadfast as ever. During a recent public interaction that quickly made waves online, the “It’s Showtime” host delivered a witty yet deeply heartfelt plea, urging Robredo to consider a return to the political stage.
With her trademark humor and flair, Vice Ganda jokingly vowed a massive personal sacrifice to show her support, telling Robredo: “Magpapakalalaki ako, tumakbo ka lang ulit!” (I will live as a man, just run again!)
The lighthearted comment, delivered with Vice’s signature comedic timing, hides a deeper sentiment of admiration. Vice Ganda was one of the most prominent celebrity “Kakampinks” during the 2022 presidential campaign, using her massive platform to mobilize voters and perform at high-energy rallies across the country.
While the remark was clearly made in jest, it resonated deeply with fans who have been closely following the post-election activities of the former Vice President. Robredo, who has focused her efforts on her non-government organization, Angat Buhay, has remained a significant figure in Philippine public life, though she has kept her future political plans close to her chest.
The interaction underscores the enduring influence of celebrities in the Philippine political landscape. Vice Ganda’s ability to mix humor with political discourse allows her to engage a broad demographic, keeping conversations about leadership and public service alive long after election season has ended.
Supporters of both the comedian and the former VP flooded social media with clips of the encounter, with many praising the “unfiltered” and “loyal” friendship between the two. For many, the exchange was a refreshing moment of levity in an often-polarized political environment.
As the 2025 midterm elections and beyond begin to loom in the collective consciousness of the public, every statement from figures like Robredo—and her high-profile supporters—is scrutinized for hints of a comeback. While Robredo herself has consistently emphasized her commitment to her NGO work, the “Vice-Leni” moment proves that her supporters are more than ready to rally should she decide to step back into the arena.
For now, the Unkabogable Star remains one of Robredo’s most vocal cheerleaders, reminding everyone that while the campaign may be over, the “Kulay Rosas” spirit is still very much alive in the world of entertainment.
