On December 13, host-comedian Vice Ganda takes pride in his vlog What Really Happened In Las Vegas?
At the media conference for Partners in Crime, which LionhearTV covered, Vice shared the success of their vlog on his YouTube channel.
“Edi Bongga! Congrats! — To me [and] Ion.
“Proud na proud ako sa video na ‘yun, doon sa content na ‘yun. Proud na proud na naupload namin ‘yung content na ‘yun at napanood ng maraming tao.”
He also noted that he found the positive response to the vlog showing his union with his partner liberating for him and the LGBTQIA+ community.
“It’s liberating for me and the community na ang daming nanood, at ang gaganda kasi noong feedback ng video na ‘yun na kinasal kami ni Ion sa Las Vegas, everyone was very happy for the both of us. Not just the people in our community, kahit ‘yung mga lalaki, babae.”
He admitted that he had doubts at first about uploading the vlog.
“At pagkatapos ko kasing i-upload ‘yung content na ‘yun, slight natakot ako. Di ba kasi sabi ko, ‘Ito nanaman, kaya ayaw kong nag-rerelease kasi ayaw kong mababoy. Kasi prinoprotekhan ko ‘yung something which is very beautiful, which is our relationship, at tsaka si Ion. Sabi ko, baka bababuyin, kung ano-anong sasabihin, ‘yung ganong feedback.”
He narrated how he saw positive feedback from fellow Filipinos after uploading the vlog.
“Tapos pagkatapos kong i-upload ‘yun. Nag-vlog ako sa Binondo, may ginagawa akong content, nag-aano ako, nag-restaurant crawl, tapos ‘yung mga tao sa kalsada, nagsisigawan, ‘Vice, Congrats! Nasan si Ion.’
“Nagulat ako, ang ganda-ganda ng pagtanggap ng mga tao doon kaya aside sa maganda ‘yung monetization ng content ko rin, ‘yung may maganda siyang idinulot sa akin, sa lipunan, sa kumunidad na kinabibilangan ko, kaya proud na proud ako sa content na ‘yun.”
To date, What Really Happened In Las Vegas has over 6.9 Million Views on Vice Ganda’s YouTube channel.
