Vice Ganda has admitted that he had multiple girlfriends in the past to try and “cure” his true sexuality.
During the second episode of ‘Iskovery Night’, a YouTube show hosted by former Manila mayor Isko Moreno, Vice Ganda opened up about his upbringing. It can be noted that both he and Moreno hail from Tondo.
Growing up in Blumentritt, Vice detailed how he struggled to accept he was gay.
“Oo nagka-girlfriend ako. Lima… limang girl friend,” the It’s Showtime host admitted.
Vice said he tried to cure his sexuality until he realized it wasn’t a disease.
“I have always known. I have always felt na bakla ako… Alam ko na pero nilalabanan ko siya. Kasi sabi ko nga dati, mag-gigirlfriend ako. I was trying to cure it. Until I realized, bakit ko kino-cure, e hindi naman ito sakit. Hindi naman siya disability…mas lalo ko lang na-realize na hindi, bakla talaga ako,” he said.
The comedian said he also struggled to kiss a girl. He shared, “Hindi ko kayang humalik. ‘Di ko kayang humalik sa labi. Hindi ko kayang humawak sa d*d*. Nanginginig ako na naninigas ako, I swear kinilabutan talaga ako.”
Vice Ganda learned that a person can’t really change who they are.
“‘Yun ka. Hindi talaga ‘yun mababago. Kahit anong klaseng pagbabagong ipilit o ilagay mo sa sarili mo, sinasabi mo lang ‘yun pero hindi mo talaga ‘yun nababago,” Vice said.
‘Iskovery Night’ is a newly added segment to Moreno’s YouTube channel. The first guest on his show was actor Coco Martin.
