Vice Ganda Disproves The Rumor that He Bought the Votes for Him to Win as Best Actor

"It's Showtime" host and comedian Vice Ganda won as Best Actor in the recently concluded Star Awards for Movies. He thanks the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) for winning the Best Actor award since he was not able to accept his trophy personally last Saturday.

He also denies the rumors that he bought the votes of the organization to win his award. He says that he should accept the recognition because he knows that his conscience is clean.

He says, "Thanks PMPC Star Awards for my first acting trophy. Maraming, maraming salamat po sa award na binigay niyo sa akin. Sobrang kontrobersyal ng award na yan, narinig ko,  nabasa ko. Magpapasalamat lang ako, ayoko na masyado magbigay ng statement. Oo nung nabasa ko nga, tapos sinabi sa kin, natawa na lang ako. Tumahimik na lang ako. Sabi ko kung kakausapin ko ang kunsensya ko, ano kayang sasabihin ng kunsenya ko sa kin? Sabi ng kunsensya ko sa kin, kung nandaya ka ibalik mo ang award, kung di ka nandaya yakapin mo ang award. Ito ang award [hugs award]."

Vice also thanks his supporters and friends who appreciated his performance in the movie Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy and says he’s happy they always believe in him and his talents.

"Maraming, maraming salamat po sa PMPC, sa mga nagtitiwala sa akin. Sa lahat ng madlang people na nanood ng Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy, na nakaappreciate ng performance ko, para po sa inyo ito."
