TV host Vice Ganda was criticized by some netizens because of “Funkaboggable” Donation Drive aimed at helping the survivors of Typhoon Ulysses. People were affected by the said typhoon rendering a lot of people homeless due to heavy rains and floods.
Vice called out to netizens to help and donate and the money that they were able to collect was used to buy relief goods and was distributed to those in affected areas.
But there are some netizens who felt should have given more and used his own money and even compared Vice to Willie Revillame, Heart Evangelista and KC Concepcion who also made their own fund drives.
Here are some of the comments:
– “Better kung ibebenta mo yong mga sasakyan mo or yong milyon milyon mong banyo ang halaga.”
– “Magdonate din po kau galing sa yaman nyu di puro fundraising galing sa bulsa ng ibang tao tpos kanino mapupunta ang credit aberrr lamm naa.”
– “Why are you asking for help when you can very well donate on your own. What with your massive display of (y)our wealth supposedly? I can’t believe you!”
– “AFTER MO MAG BAKASYON HIHINGI KA NG DONASYON?”
Vice reacted to the comments during the program “It’s Showtime.”
“Nakakatawa lang kasi may mga nagko-comment lang na, Di ba, ang dami mong pera? Bakit ka nanghihingi ng donasyon? Parang mga baliw. Hindi po para sa akin ang donasyon na ito, at hindi ko po ito ginagawa para makatakas sa pagdo-donate. Makakaasa po kayo na may personal po akong donasyon na ibinibigay,” said Vice.
“Ginagawa ko po ito para sa madlang pipol sa mga kaibigan, sa mga Little Ponies, na gustong mag-ambag at gustong pagsama-samahin yung kanilang mga donasyon. Ako na po ang nagkokolekta noon, tapos ako ang mamimili, at ako na rin po ang magpapadala. Para nasa bahay na lang kayo,” Vice added.
Vice was able to raised around PhP 1.5 million and distributed the relief goods at once to different affected areas.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong tulong madlang people! pic.twitter.com/XGUgkTB3kD
