Darryl Yap answered this statement from Lav Diaz about Vice Ganda
Director Lav Diaz expressed that comedian Vice Ganda could be a strong contender for Vice President Sara Duterte in the 2028 presidential elections, and director Darryl Yap also nominated BB Gandanghari for president.
Direk Lav stated that he was serious about this and that the “Sara Duterte wall” should be broken. For him, this would be a nightmare, and as a part of the Philippine pop culture, Vice and his perspective should be used.
The award-winning director also emphasized that this is how the battle currently appears, and populist leaders often exhibit this behavior. He also encouraged the public to campaign for the Unkabogable Star.
To recall, Vice Ganda shared in the past that he received offers to enter politics, but he declined because he said that this was not his forte. However, the comedian-host is vocal about the candidates he supports.
Following Direk Lav’s aspiration to see Vice as the President of the Philippines, Direk Darryl shared his thoughts. In a Facebook post, the controversial director shared an art card featuring BB Gandanghari, Vice Ganda, and Cristy Fermin.
The text featured in this was BB’s past statement against Vice. “Maswerte ka, sumikat ka, dahil bobita ka. ‘Yon lang ang masasabi ko sa’yo,” BB said.
Direk Darryl said that because Direk Lav pushed Vice Ganda to run for president, he is also nominating BB Gandanghari. “Dahil pinapatakbo ni Direk Lav Diaz si Vice Ganda, I RESPECTFULLY NOMINATE BB GANDANGHARI AS PRESIDENT and CRISTY FERMIN AS PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESPERSON,” the controversial director said.
Netizens have various comments on this post shared by Direk Darryl. Some agreed with him, saying “I second the motion,” while some criticized him. Here are some comments.
