Unkabogable Superstar Vice Ganda once again set social media abuzz after humorously introducing what he called “new songs” during the Friday, January 2, 2026 episode of ‘It’s Showtime’.
During the segment Laro Laro Pick, Vice jokingly presented a parody-style playlist, naming popular songs but attributing them to well-known political figures and personalities, drawing laughter from the studio audience and online viewers.
“Ang kakantahin natin ngayon ay ‘That’s What Friends Are For’ by Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte,” Vice quipped on air.
He followed this with another playful jab, saying, “Ang kakantahin natin ay ‘Umbrella’ by Sarah Discaya. Mamahalin ‘yon, ‘yong umbrella ni Sarah Discaya.”
Vice capped off the list with, “OPM ito pero English ang title. ‘Catch Me I’m Fallin’’ by Harry Roque. Ang daming mga bagong kanta, ‘no?”—prompting laughter from co-hosts and audience members alike.
The remarks quickly circulated online, with netizens sharing mixed but mostly amused reactions. Some joked about potential backlash, while others praised Vice’s timing and delivery.
“Hahaha baka mabash ka nanaman meme vice,” one netizen commented, while another wrote, “Sobrang aliw ka talaga kapag si Meme ang bumanat, simple but may impact.”
Others referenced political supporters reacting to the jokes, saying, “Magagalit nanaman ang mga DDS,” while several viewers simply found the segment entertaining, calling the “playlist” unforgettable.
Vice’s jokes drew context from real-life political developments that have made headlines in recent years. In 2024, Vice President Sara Duterte publicly admitted that she no longer communicates with President Marcos, saying in an interview, “Wala akong description sa relationship namin ngayon ni President Marcos. Hindi na kami nagkakausap, hindi na rin kami nagkikita.”
Meanwhile, Sarah Discaya previously went viral after admitting during a Senate hearing that she purchased a luxury Rolls-Royce Cullinan because she liked its built-in umbrella feature—a detail Vice referenced in his parody.
Harry Roque, on the other hand, has been linked to ongoing legal controversies involving alleged illegal POGO operations, making Vice’s tongue-in-cheek song attribution particularly timely for viewers following current events.
As expected, Vice did not directly address the political implications of his jokes. However, fans noted that his brand of humor—often mixing pop culture with current affairs—has long been a staple of ‘It’s Showtime’, continuing to spark discussion, laughter, and debate online.
