Vice Ganda Wants to Build First-Ever All-Gay School in the Philippines
VICE GANDA – ABS-CBN actor and tv host Vice Ganda plans to build the first-ever all-gay school in the Philippines.
Kapamilya comedian actor Vice Ganda is one of the main hosts of the noontime variety show It’s Showtime.
On their Tawag Ng Tanghalan segment, the hosts interview their contestants about their personal life. The celebrities also share their thoughts and opinions about the topic.
On the latest episode of the show, Vice Ganda revealed that he plans to build a school for the Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Filipinos. His plan will be the first ever all-gay institution in the Philippines.
“Diba merong mga all-boys school… all-girls school? Bigla akong gumising na parang gusto kong gumawa ng eskwelahan, yung all-gay school,” he said.
Vice Ganda said countless gay Filipinos are having a hard time studying knowing there are still lots of people who can’t accept their sexual identity.
“Kasi diba ang daming bakla na nahihirapang mag-aral dahil hindi sila inaaccept ng eskwelahan, hindi sila inaaccept ng mga kasama nila sa eskwelahan,” he said.
This issue could affect the growth of young LGBT in the county. They will prefer to stay in their comfort zones because they are terrified of other people’s criticism.
“Dahil sa bakla sila hindi nila narereach yung full capacity nila dahil nagtatago, dahil natatakot sila sa mga kasama nila sa eskwelahan,” he said.
Vice Ganda believed that his dream school will surely accept them and let them reach their full capacity as a person.
“Pero kung merong isang eskwelahan na yayakap tatangap at susuporta sa kanila, lahat ng potential mailalabas,” said Vice.
Vice’s plan earned mixed reactions from the netizens. Here are some of their comments on the post:
@Jhemar Hopia: “Vice wisdom at its finest. I can see a much better plan for an equal chance to anybody with Vice governance.”
@Wilson Balles: “Nice Vice. I’ve been thinking about that idea also for such a long time. two thumbs up for you”
@Ponti Pontiveros: “It won’t help society accept the LGBTQ community if there will be segregation. Integration and assimilation is key. He has a point about full development though. What is more important Is for school system administration to uphold, implement & protect rights instead.”
