On November 11, Unkabogable star Vice Ganda expressed gratitude for being the first LGBTQIA+ endorser of the fast food chain.
At the media event for her newest endorsement deal with McDonald’s Fried Chicken, Vice first thanked the fast food chain for including her in their family.
“I’m super happy. I’m [super] excited and I’m [very] grateful to McDonalds again– for even considering me to be a part of your wonderful family.”
She then highlighted the significance of the endorsement deal for her and the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Paulit-ulit kong sinasabi na victory to sa LGBTQIA+ community. Kasi katulad ng sinabi nila kanin a di ba? Improvement, better, lalo na ito sa panahon na ito na ako personally, sa panahon nitong nafe-feel ko na ang daming nagta-try na mag-invalidate noong aking presensya, noong aking kakayahan, mayroon bigla na sumabay na McDonalds na itinaas ako ulit, na hindi, at pinaniniwalaan namin ‘yung mayroon siya.”
She then pointed out how her commercial ad for McChicken as the fast food chain’s first LGBTQIA+ endorser gives representation to the community.
@lionheartv @unkabogableviceganda hindi naka-hindi sa @mcdonalds ! “Sa panahong ito na parang nafifeel ko na ang daming nagtatry, nag-iinvalidate nung aking presensya, nung aking kakayahan, merong bigla na sumabay na McDonald’s na itinaas ako ulit…” #ViceGanda #LGBTQIA #TiktokTainmentPH #EntertainmentNewsPH #LionhearTV #RAWRNation
“At malaking bagay ‘yun na sa akin nangyari at ‘yung pangyayari sa akin, ay personal na rin nangyayari sa lahat ng members ng LGBTQIA+ community. Kasi, I represent them, my win is their win. Kapag nakikita nila ‘yung mukha ko sa commercial ng McDonalds, hindi lang ‘yung mukha ni Vice Ganda eh, mukha ‘yun ng LGBTQIA+ community na nire-recognize ‘yung kaniyang kakayahan, ‘yung kaniyang presenya, at ‘yung kaniyang influence sa ginagalawang society. So maraming-maraming salamat sa McDonalds.”
Vice appeared in the latest ad from McDonald’s, wherein she was walking into the fast-food chain in her scene-stealing outfit with a tray of McChicken in hand.
The ‘It’s Showtime’ muttered the phrases “Nice! Ganda!” and “Nice! Sarap!” as a reaction to the improved McChicken.
