MANY people were entertained, though some were offended, by the "parody" done by Vice Ganda and Anne Curtis during the "Laro, Laro, Pick" segment of It's Showtime last Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
Details of the Skit
While pretending to take a selfie, Vice jokingly said, "We are under attack! We are calling for help." He then pulled Anne behind him and added, "Stay here, Anne, here with my sister." The duo did not mention any names, but following the recent events in the Senate, many viewers interpreted the skit as a reference to the May 13 commotion.
Mixed Reactions
However, to those claiming that it was insulting and mocking toward siblings Senators Pia Cayetano and Alan Peter Cayetano, some netizens defended Vice, saying that he was simply trying to lighten the negative events happening in the country through comedy based on reality.
The incident has sparked a debate on social media about the boundaries of comedy and the role of entertainers in commenting on political events. While some praised Vice Ganda for his boldness, others criticized the segment for being insensitive. It remains to be seen whether the network or the hosts will address the controversy directly.
