Plot Twist? Vice Ganda Endorses Chel Diokno for Senator Online and on National TV

Sep 16, 2021   •   Meryl Medel

After Attorney Chel Diokno announced that he will be running for a senatorial position in the upcoming 2022 elections, support came flooding in on social media, including from one particular celebrity: Vice Ganda.

Yes, tatakbo ulit ako sa Senado. Napakaraming bagay ang hindi patas dito sa atin—sa batas, sa ekonomiya, sa mga patakaran sa COVID. Gawin nating mas makatarungan ang buhay ng mga Pilipino. https://t.co/TblCMrM7Ao

— Chel Diokno (@ChelDiokno) September 15, 2021

 

A simple tweet

After retweeting Chel Diokno’s tweet confirming his candidacy plans, Vice Ganda posted a simple tweet in excitement:

CHEL DIOKNO FOR SENATOR

— jose marie viceral (@vicegandako) September 15, 2021

 

And a Tiktok video

@unkabogablevicegandaCHEL DIOKNO ##foryou

♬ original sound – Vice Ganda

The comedian also posted a short Tiktok video of him repeatedly saying Chel Diokno’s name. While the video was only captioned with Chel Diokno’s name, many believe it was to show support for his candidacy as well.

 

On national TV

This is a clear endorsement of Chel Diokno. #ChelLang #ChelSaSenado #ShowtimeAllPollYou pic.twitter.com/G4BRDbC4EJ

— Banash Daily #RegisterToVote (@BIENsays) September 16, 2021


In the most recent episode of It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda also got to mention the lawyer’s name, saying how his favorite name is ‘Chel’ because of his favorite attorney Chel Diokno and how ‘galing’ and ‘mahusay’ Diokno is.

 

Is it a plot twist?

Vice Ganda endorsing Chel Diokno is the biggest plot twist I’ve never expected

— alexcerado (@alexcerado) September 15, 2021

Hmmm. Vice Ganda is endorsing @ChelDiokno What happened here? https://t.co/gkGw64QHqH

— Raissa Robles (@raissawriter) September 15, 2021


Some netizens seem to be surprised by this show of support from the comedian. But Vice Ganda has actually done this before.

 

Not the first time

Back in 2019, Vice Ganda had already shown support for Chel Diokno’s run for the senate. “Matalino, magaling, at matino” is how he described the human rights lawyer.

Matalino, magaling at MATINO si CHEL DIOKNO. Iboboto ko sya para sa lahat ng Madlang People na naghahangad ng bansang may hustisya. Sana maisama nyo rin sya sa iboboto nyong 12.

— jose marie viceral (@vicegandako) May 9, 2019

 

Netizens are happy

Many netizens have been eagerly awaiting their 2022 bets to announce their candidacy plans, and Chel Diokno’s announcement was met with joy. And this support from Vice Ganda is equally as welcomed, as many believe that he is able to reach more members of the masses with how huge the comedian’s platform is.

Vice Ganda was a supporter of Chel before, and yung endorsement niya and how he’s very vocal abt it, including the social commentaries sa It’s Showtime, these are welcome gestures. Marami na ang namulat at ginagamit ang platforms nila for change.

With this huge reach and engagement generated by a popular personality like Vice Ganda, netizens are also hoping other celebrities would step up and use their platforms for a better Philippines starting in 2022.
