For many celebs, becoming famous wasn’t simple. Before becoming successful, they had to undergo great adversity, including the shackles of poverty. At a very young age, they had to begin working while managing their time between tasks.
They were able to attain the success and luxurious life they lead because of their dedication, talent, perseverance, and the support of the wonderful people in their lives. Due to all their sacrifices, their families now enjoy a better and more promising future.
Jose Marie Borja Viceral, also known as Vice Ganda, is one of the celebrities that the “madlang people” are always excited to see. He is a well-known actor, host, style icon, and musician in his hometown. He has also acted in several movies, regarded as the neighborhood theater’s biggest hits.
Undoubtedly, the 41-year-old comic who once worked as a water vendor in Tondo has come a long way. But each triumph is accompanied by a sad tale from the past.
Vice was the only eyewitness to his father’s murder in 1991. Only a week had passed since his 15th birthday when the atrocity was committed, making it all the more tragic and heartbreaking.
Vice said in an interview that his family used to sell rags to make ends meet in difficult circumstances. Vice went through a tragedy when his father was killed in his mid-teens. Vice’s mother, Rosario, had to work as a caregiver abroad to maintain the family when his father passed away.
Vice didn’t let her mother bear the burden alone after his father passed away, and she decided to go abroad to provide for their family. He began his career as a comic in a comedy club, which ultimately led to his introduction to the entertainment industry.
Vice has a lively, colorful, and active existence, as anyone who follows him on social media or frequently watches his TV shows would attest. While he often cracks jokes, amuses others, and dons eccentric attire, his home life is a different story.
Vice was adamant about pursuing his dream of being a performer despite these intolerable circumstances. Then he would work in comedy clubs. Vice’s meteoric rise from performing stand-up comedy to hosting TV shows was a launching pad for even bigger things. It didn’t take Vice long to become one of the show’s main hosts when Showtime evolved into the popular noontime program. It’s Showtime. Vice became a top comedian, television personality, and star.
When Vice reached the top of his career, he remembered to give others the benefit of their blessings and to remain grounded. He used his fame and talent to encourage everyone never to stop believing in themselves and their aspirations.
Here is Vice, who has undergone an inspiring metamorphosis from which we can all learn.
