The recent Twitter post of Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda that encouraged people to chill a little received opposing political reactions.

Vice’s popularity is unquestionable and with this, it is inevitable for his followers and fans to expect that just like other celebrities, he would air his sentiments regarding politics and social issues, especially during the election season.

Amid the heated political scenario in the Philippines, without saying if his post has political intentions or none, Vice Ganda shared this reminder. “Konting kalma. Baka di natin napapansin katulad na din tayo ng mga taong ayaw natin. O baka naman yun din tayo di lang natin maamin,” the It’s Showtime host tweeted.

Netizens who commented on this post of the comedian-host have different opinions. There were those who are urging him to take a stand, almost persuading him to believe what they believe, as well.

Some netizens accused him of being silent because after all, he is one of those who are on the “other side” of what they are believing.

One netizen even shared photos of the comedian-host with the Chief Executive and his ally Senator Bong Go.

On the other hand, there were those who understood and realized what Vice Ganda wanted to convey to the online community. “Guilty rin ako not extending grace and not showing empathy sa supporters ng kabilang side. But it’s because i’m mad at whats happening and di ko maintindihan bkit gnun. We can call out injustice when we see it, do it gently, but dont be silent abt it,” the netizen said.
