Vice Ganda Takes a Swipe at Someone She Called “Matandang Tsismosa”
VICE GANDA – The comedian threw shade at an “matandang tsismosa na kunwari may binabasa.”
During an episode of the variety show “It’s Showtime,” host Vice Ganda subtly criticized someone widely believed to be Cristy Fermin, a radio show host known for her celebrity gossip. Vice Ganda highlighted how some gossipers pretend to read comments or reactions from viewers but actually share their own negative opinions. This caused a stir among viewers and on social media.
“Ganiyan ‘yong mga tsismosa kunwari may binabasa, ‘Heto ang comment bi chuchuchuchu, sabi ni ganiyan, ‘ pero wala naman talaga siyang binabasa, sa kaniya ‘yon, echusera ka, sinungaling ‘yang matandang ‘yan, anyway…” Vice Ganda said.
The remarks were made during a lively segment with co-hosts Jhong Hilario and Anne Curtis, where Vice Ganda commented on the unnamed individual’s habit of pretending to engage with public opinions while actually propagating their personal views as if they were from the audience. He humorously described these individuals as gossips who invent stories while pretending to relay feedback from viewers.
Vice Ganda’s comments led to speculation that he was referring to Cristy Fermin, who often discusses “It’s Showtime” and its hosts on her showbiz-oriented radio show, “Cristy Ferminute.” On her program, broadcast on One PH and its YouTube channel, Fermin regularly reads messages from her audience, which sometimes include frank discussions and criticisms of various celebrities, including Vice Ganda.
The audience’s reaction to Vice Ganda’s remarks was mixed, with some applauding his candidness and others anticipating a response from Cristy Fermin, hinting at ongoing tension between the TV and radio personalities. Social media users debated the integrity of media personalities in representing audience opinions and the dynamics of celebrity criticism in the Philippine entertainment industry.
