In case you missed the news, comedian and television personality Vice Ganda is launching his own digital media network in light of ABS-CBN losing its franchise.
(Vice Ganda explains walking out on ‘It’s Showtime’ stage)
When speaking to the press about going digital, he made it clear that he was not just given permission by his ABS-CBN bosses in pursuing this new venture but was encouraged to do so.
Vice also mentioned he hopes to hire the displaced ABS-CBN workers and offer them a source of livelihood.
“Una naming gustong i-accommodate ‘yung mga nawalan ng trabaho sa ABS-CBN — mga writers, graphic artists and other talents, especially ‘yung mga nakatrabaho ko na noon pa,” he said.
“I also want to help the stand-up comedians na natengga dahil wala na ang live performances. Ang sakit sa puso ko, hindi ko pwede pabayaan ‘yung mga anak-anakan ko. I want to give them a platform,” he added.
Vice is set to premiere his website, Viceganda.com.ph, on July 24, Friday beginning with episodes of his talk show, Gandang Gabi Vice.
