Online Shopping Era? Vice Ganda Jokes About Politicians’ Families Lying Low This Christmas
VICE GANDA – What started as a fun and lighthearted Christmas shopping vlog quickly turned into a subtle political commentary after Vice Ganda made a remark that caught the attention of netizens.
Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda once again delivered a pointed remark aimed at politicians, even amid the festive holiday season, through a subtle yet thought-provoking observation shared in a recent vlog.
In Vice’s latest vlog episode, which featured the comedian’s last-minute Christmas shopping, Vice noticed a striking difference in the atmosphere of malls compared to previous years. According to Vice, the crowds appeared noticeably thinner, prompting a witty but loaded comment that quickly caught viewers’ attention.
“‘Yong mga pamilya ng mga politiko, hindi masyadong nagsa-shopping ngayon,” saad ni Vice.
Vice further added, “Ayaw nilang magpahalata. I’m sure online shopping sila.”
The remarks, though delivered in Vice Ganda’s signature humorous tone, carried a deeper social and political implication that resonated strongly with viewers. Many netizens interpreted the comment as a reflection of the heightened public scrutiny faced by politicians and their families, particularly during a time when displays of wealth can easily spark backlash.
The comedian’s statement also appeared to allude to the controversies that surrounded several political figures in 2025. During that year, politicians and their relatives became the subject of intense criticism after allegedly flaunting their wealth on social media while the country was reeling from devastating calamities, including powerful typhoons that displaced thousands of Filipino families.
Public outrage intensified when some personalities were reportedly linked to politicians implicated in anomalous flood control projects. These issues fueled widespread condemnation, as many Filipinos questioned how public funds were being allocated while communities continued to suffer from recurring disasters.
Vice Ganda’s comment, though brief, echoed the sentiments of many Filipinos who have grown more vigilant and outspoken about accountability and sensitivity from those in power. The suggestion that politicians’ families may now prefer online shopping to avoid public attention reflects an awareness of the shifting public mood and the fear of being perceived as out of touch.
As with many of Vice Ganda’s past remarks, the statement sparked online discussions, with supporters praising the comedian for speaking truths through humor, while others debated the implications of the comment. Regardless, Vice once again proved that even lighthearted content can carry sharp social commentary, especially when delivered at a time when public awareness and criticism remain high.
