“Mga hayop sila!” – Vice Ganda’s Bold Message to Corrupt Politicians Goes Viral
VICE GANDA – Kapamilya star Vice Ganda’s fiery speech at the Trillion Peso March sent shockwaves online as she demanded the death penalty for corrupt officials.
Vice Ganda made a fiery stand during the Trillion Peso March at the People Power Monument along EDSA, where she called for the reinstatement of the death penalty for corrupt government officials accused of pocketing funds from flood control projects.
“Ibalik ang death penalty sa mga corrupt. Ikulong pati pamilya nila,” the comedian and television host declared, drawing loud reactions from the crowd.
For the It’s Showtime star, corruption is far more destructive than violent crimes. She explained that while murderers and terrorists take lives directly, corrupt politicians rob the entire nation of opportunities, resources, and dignity.
“Ang corrupt na politiko ay higit pa sa mamamatay tao. Ang korapsyon ay higit sa terorismo… Ang magnanakaw walang pinipili. Kapwa Pilipino ang inaabuso,” Vice Ganda stressed.
She also urged Filipinos to stop tolerating corruption and to collectively express their outrage. In her trademark straightforward style, Vice Ganda emphasized that soft responses no longer have a place in today’s climate of public discontent.
“Tapos na ang panahon ng mabait at resilient… ‘Di na uubra bait-baitan. Hindi ko babaitan mensahe ko — sa katunayan, mga hayop sila. Hindi natin kakalmahan dahil deserve nila ang galit, poot, at pikon,” she said, rallying the crowd to amplify their voices.
Turning her message directly to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., she reminded him of his duty as the country’s leader, underscoring that accountability must be enforced at the highest levels.
“PBBM, upang magkaroon ng magandang legasiya ipakulong mo lahat ng magnanakaw. Inaasahan ka namin. Swine-swelduhan ka namin PBBM. Kami nagpapasahod sa inyo. Tapos na panahon takot sa gobyerno. Takutin natin. Ipakulong lahat. Lahat. Bawiin mga ari-arian,” she declared.
Vice Ganda was not alone in the protest. After marching from the EDSA Shrine, she was joined on stage by fellow celebrities Anne and Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Darren Espanto, Donny Pangilinan, and Jackie Gonzaga, all lending their voices to the call for justice and accountability.
The event highlighted not only the public’s frustration but also the growing demand for stronger action against corruption, with Vice Ganda’s statements sparking nationwide conversations.
