Vice Ganda. He is a popular comedian and a TV host in the Philippines. Although he doesn't know me personally, and I only admire him from afar, I consider him one of the most important persons in my life. A few years ago, I was in a rough place. I was unhappy, unmotivated, insecure. Vice Ganda helped me get through that time with his comedy. His positivity inspired me to get better and keep going.
Jose Marie Borja Viceral, better known as Vice Ganda, was born on the 31st of March 1976 in Manila, Philippines. The youngest of five children, Vice grew up with his grandparents because his father died when he was young and her mother was left with no choice but to work abroad to support her children. He studied political science at Far Eastern University.
He began his professional career as a singer. However, he was selected to perform standup in well-known comedy clubs/bars in Manila because of his skills. Next, he hosted and made guest appearances in TV series and variety shows. He started gaining audience from the mainstream media through these guest appearances. Finally, Vice’s moment of glory in his television career came in 2009 when he was picked up as a judge for ‘Showtime,' a highly popular midday TV program. Now, he has starred in several films, eight of which are considered to be the highest-grossing in Philippine cinema.
