Vice Ganda expressed pride for having a sister who is among the frontliners in the country’s battle against COVID-19.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the comedian and host penned a heartfelt tribute to his sister Ma. Cristina B. Viceral.
Vice admitted that although he takes pride in his sister’s job, he also can’t help but worry for her safety.
“I have always been proud of you. Pero ngayon nakakaiyak ang pagiging proud ko sa ‘yo. Araw-araw natatakot ako para sa ’yo. Pero araw-araw mas ipinagmamalaki kita,” he said.
“Mula pa sa pag-aaral ng medisina hanggang ngayon na doktor ka na ay kitang-kita ko ang mga pagsasakripisyo mo. Dati sabi mo ang dahilan kaya gusto mong mag-doktor kasi gusto mo lang alagaan ang (lalamunan) at boses ko. Pero ngayon ang mundo na ang inaalagaan mo. Ang galing,” he wrote.
He added, “Mabuhay ka! Patnubayan ka ng Diyos!”
The It’s Showtime host previously donated medical supplies to frontliners as his way of showing appreciation for their efforts and dedication during the pandemic. (READ: Vice Ganda donates medical supplies as ‘thank you’ to COVID-19 frontliners)
