Unkabogable star Vice Ganda has issued a clarification after being misinterpreted as taking sides in the ongoing family dispute involving two-time Paris Olympics gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo.
The controversy erupted following a segment on ‘It’s Showtime’s’ ‘EXpecially For You,’ where Vice Ganda discussed the emotional difficulty of feeling disconnected from one’s family. Some viewers mistakenly linked these comments to Carlos Yulo’s well-publicized family conflict.
The misinterpretation led to accusations on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Vice Ganda supported Angelica Yulo in the dispute. In response, Vice Ganda took to X to clarify his stance, stating, “Ha?!!! Saan galing to? Never akong nagbigay ng opinion ko tungkol sa issue ng pamilyang yan dahil mas gusto kong icelebrate ang tagumpay ni Carlos Yulo kesa makisawsaw sa eksena ng pamilya nya.”

In his comments, Vice discussed the challenges of family issues, comparing them to the difficulties of winning an Olympic gold medal. This led some viewers to believe that Vice’s remarks were related to the Yulo family situation.
Vice Ganda further addressed the confusion in a follow-up post, emphasizing, “Yes ur right. Kaya nga may part ng episode na yan na sinabi ko din na di mo masisisi ang iba na umalis dhil un ang paraan nila para makasurvive. Un ang paraan nila para maituloy nila ang buhay nila dahil ung pananatili nila sa bahay na un ay maaari nilang ikamatay o ikasama nila.”
