<p>Vice Ganda has often expressed how ABS-CBN transformed her life, crediting the legacy network for putting her on the map.<br/><br/>As one of the biggest stars of the Lopez-led media company, Vice stated that she will keep praying for ABS-CBN. “Wala naman akong ibang puwedeng gawin kundi ipagdasal ang ABS-CBN,” she said.<br/><br/>Vowing to be a Kapamilya forever, Vice added, “Nag-start nung natanggalan ng prangkisa. Wala naman akong puwedeng ibang gawin kundi ipagdasal at suportahan sila. Mananatili akong kasama nila habang lumalaban sila sa mga pagsubok nila.”</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777332436479IMG_8006.jpeg" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Vice Ganda spends time with showbiz press. <em>Josh Mercado </em></span></span></span></div><p>For the phenomenal superstar, her home network provides more than just television shows; it also gives a genuine service to Filipinos in need.<br/><br/>“The entire country has been served by ABS-CBN. Hindi lang ang mga programa nila ang serbisyong naibibigay ng ABS-CBN. Marami ring iba pang uri ng serbisyo ang naibigay sa lipunan ng ABS-CBN. ‘Yung simple nga lang na kapag may mga sakuna, nawalan ng isang malaking plataporma na nakakapagbigay alam sa mga mamamayan tungkol sa sitwasyon ng sakuna at nagbibigay babala kapag may sakuna,” Vice shared.<br/><br/>Saying that ABS-CBN&#x27;s impact on the nation is bigger than her status, she added, “Bukod sa mga taong nagtratrabaho mismo sa ABS-CBN, maraming nakikinabang sa ABS-CBN na pangkaraniwang mamamayan. ‘Yun ang dalangin natin na hindi maputol. Sa ngayon, ang kailangan ng mga Pilipino ay serbisyo.”<br/><br/>Putting people first, Vice then gave a powerful message about making Pinoy viewers feel joyful and hopeful amidst everything going on in the country.<br/><br/>“I know why I was asked to do what I do now. I know why I was given this gift. I know why I was granted this gift. I know why I&#x27;m still here. Everything I do now is no longer about me. Even my decision to return to work straight away is not just about me,” she opened up.<br/><br/>“Minsan kasi ang sakit-sakit na. May masakit kang mababasa o maririnig na parang [sinasabi ko sa sarili ko], ‘Tama na nga. Kung ayaw ninyo, huwag na. Hindi naman na ako magugutom bukas.’ Pero at the end of the day, this isn&#x27;t just about me or about earning money. It&#x27;s more than that. Doing something now is bigger or has a greater purpose than my personal goal,” she added.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block" width="655"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777332529157IMG_7967.jpeg" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="655"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Vice Ganda gets real. <em>Josh Mercado </em></span></span></span></div><p>During an interview on Monday night in Quezon City, Vice also confessed that sadness affects her on occasion, sending an important message that having everything in the world does not exclude her from experiencing pain, burnout, and fatigue.<br/><br/>She exclusively told ABS-CBN News, “Kapag nalulungkot, just give yourself some time to be sad. You have to feel it. That makes you believe that you exist and you’re alive. You have to feel everything. You have to be sad. You have to be happy. You have to be frustrated. You have to give yourself the right to feel things. You have to give yourself the right to rest, get tired, and then rest again before returning to work.”<br/><br/>“Hindi ko dine-deprive ‘yung sarili ko. When I feel like crying, I will cry. Kapag may gusto akong sabihin, sasabihin ko. I will risk it. Ayaw kong mabuhay sa regret na parang, ‘Sayang, sana naramdaman ko ito.’ Kapag nararamdaman kong umiyak, maiiyak ako. Kapag nararamdaman ko ‘yung inis, ibibigay ko sa sarili ko ‘yun,” added the Kapamilya superstar.<br/><br/>Vice also teased her one beloved program comeback, a movie with an icon, the true reason she was away from &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime,&quot; and a reaction to a future political run — all of which will be revealed soon, she said.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A5n_meYt0Qw?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L_XJHBeN6k4?&amp;pp=0gcJCdQKAYcqIYzvautoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VQ5ZLN__fnw?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
