Stand-up comedian Ate Gay disclosed the financial assistance he received from Vice Ganda and other showbiz personalities during his hospitalization due to toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
According to hopkinsmedicine.org, TEN is a serious skin disorder that causes the blistering and peeling of the skin.
The comedian recovered from the skin disorder in April 2021.
In his recent facebook post, Ate Gay shared that he wanted to delete all his facebook friends who keep on sharing negative things about the government.
Ate Gay wrote, “Delete ko mga friends ko dito na walang ginawa kung di mangnega ng umaga at manisi ang sisihin ang gobyerno .. basa din alamin ang pinagmulan ng paghihirap ng Pilipinas.. simulan niyo ng 1986..”
Netizens were quick to bash Ate Gay for his pro-government stance and even mentioned that Vice Ganda shouldn’t have helped the comedian when he was diagnosed with TEN.
Kung ako kay Vice Ganda di na niya lang tinulungan yan dapat hinayaan nalang mamatay yan dahil lahat bg kaibigan niya tinalikuran siya haha

“Kung ako kay Vice Ganda di na niya lang tinulungan yan dapat hinayaan nalang mamatay yan dahil lahat bg kaibigan niya tinalikuran siya haha,” said one netizen.
In a now-deleted tweet, Ate Gay pointed out that his brother was the one who [mostly] contributed to his hospital bills.
He even enumerated all the financial help that he got from his showbiz friends.
“Para matigil na ito .. eto mga nagbigay sa aking hindi ko hiningi.
“Paolo balesteros 30k beks batallion 30k calvin chua 20k vice ganda 20k ogie diaz10k ogie alcasid teri onor 10k sir jon 10k.. at ang kapatid ko 600k.
“‘Yung mga nagbigay sa akin di ginalaw ng kapatid ko bagkus ginastos ko sa renta sa condo maintenace ko at ng nanay ko… wala naman po akong trabaho kaya di sinama ng kapatid ko ang mga bigay ng mga kaibigan ko,” Ate Gay said.
He even added that netizens should leave Vice Ganda out of the issue.

‘Wag naman po nating idamay si Vice dahil wala naman siyang kinalaman dito.”
On September 7, comedian Vincent Aycocho a.k.a. Petite, also slammed and threatened to unfriend Ate Gay over the latter’s facebook post on the Philippines’ debt.
