Vice Ganda breaks down after remembering Tutoy

MANILA, Philippines — In an unexpected turn of events, the anticipated humor of Vice Ganda celebrating the 7th year of his show “Gandang Gabi Vice” (GGV) became emotional as he broke down in tears to remember his childhood.

In a new segment “Tanong Mo Mukha Mo” hosted by “Asia's King of Talk” Boy Abunda, the host showed seven faces to Vice, to whom Vice can ask a question. Seven faces were shown to Vice because the show celebrates its seventh anniversary.

One of the faces showed to Vice was Tutoy, his childhood self. “Masaya ka ba sa kung anong ginawa ko sa buhay ni Tutoy?” Vice asked his childhood self.

The GGV host said that he will be forever Tutoy because of his mother’s love.

“Tutoy is my nanay’s source of joy, I will forever be Tutoy. There are moments na nakakaligtaan ko na si Tutoy, but I always remind myself na ‘uy you have to go back to Tutoy’ Because Tutoy is real. Mas pipiliin ko si Tutoy kesa kay Vice Ganda,” Vice said.

“Kasi noong panahon ni Tutoy mapayapa lang siya. Simple lang siya, hindi komplikado ang buhay niya pero masayang masaya siya. Masaya din naman si Vice Ganda, pero iba yung saya ni Tutoy eh,” Vice added while breaking down emotionally.

“Pwede mawala si Vice Ganda, pero hindi pwede mawala si Tutoy… Kaya ‘di pwedeng mawala si Tutoy kasi s’ya ‘yung kasiyahan ng nanay ko, and that’s the most important thing in this world,” Vice maintained.

“Kahit tanggalin na ng D’yos lahat, ‘tong damit ko, alahas ko, boyfriend, wala na akong pakialam, ‘wag n’ya lang tatanggalin ‘yung kasiyahan ng nanay ko. That’s the most important thing.”

Vice’s mother joined him onstage and hugged him.

Other faces showed to Vice in the segment included Charo Santos-Concio; Tito, Vic and Joey; President Rodrigo Duterte, Coco Martin, Ricci Rivero, and his departed father Reynaldo Viceral.

To Charo, Vice asked: “Dear Charo, sa dinami dami po ng araw at okasyon, bakit nyo napili na pumareho sa blouse ko?”

To Tito, Vic, and Joey, Vice asked: “Natatawa ba kayo sa akin o nabwibwisit kayo sa’kin?”

Abunda asked Vice that if he would be given a chance to star in a movie with Tito, Vic, and Joey, what would the title be? Vice suggested “Eat Showtime” or “Sina Tito, Vic at Joey kasama ang isang beki.”

When showed the face of his father, Vice asked the question: “Kasi nung nawala sya, hindi pa ko ganito, so kung makakausap ko s’ya ngayon, ‘Tay ano pong gusto n’yong sabihin sakin?”

Boy asked Vice that if he has a chance to show a loved one to his father, who would he introduced to his father?

Vice said he will introduce his first girlfriend to his dad. “Sinubukan ko mag-girlfriend para mapasaya sya… pero bakla talaga kasi ako!” Vice quipped.

When asked what he would ask Duterte, Vice said: “Bukas ka ba sa posibilidad, dahil sa inyo naman nanggaling ang change is coming, bukas ka ba sa posibilidad nang pagpapa-nose lift?”

On June 4, GGV’s June 3, seventh anniversary episode took the number one trending on Twitter with over 20,900 tweets using the hashtag #GGVPito.
