Vice Ganda Slams Jobert Sucaldito, Denies Paying for Best Actor Trophy

Comedian Vice Ganda is confident that his conscience is clear regarding the alleged vote-buying in the recently concluded PMPC Star Awards for Movies. The issue was broken by Jobert Sucaldito, saying that Vice's Best Actor win was paid (read story here).

Speaking on It's Showtime Wednesday, Vice Ganda said that he's aware of the controversy hounding PMPC but just ignored it since he knew for himself that he didn't pay for the award (WATCH VIDEO HERE).

"Nung nabasa ko natawa lang ako, tapos tumahimik ako. Sabi ko ‘Kung kakausapin ko ang konsensya ko, ano kayang sasabihin ng konsensya ko sa akin?’ Sabi ng konsensya ko sa akin, ‘Kung nandaya ka, ibalik mo ang award. Kung hindi ka nandaya, yakapin mo ang award,’” Vice Ganda said before hugging his trophy.

On Tuesday, Philippine Movie Press Club, Inc. (PMPC), organizers of the Star Awards for Movies, already denied the said allegations (read PMPC's official statement here).

Vice Ganda has just returned from his highly successful “I-Vice Ganda Mo Ako sa Amerika” tour. The tour’s first show was held at the John Logan High School Pavilion last February 28 where Vice entertained the audience with special guests, heartthrob Ejay Falcon and comedy duo MC and Lassy. 

The tour’s second show at the Los Angeles Theatre on March 1 also drew a huge turnout that Vice extended the show to three hours. The tour was presented by Happy Box, in cooperation with Redcheese Production, iOhmie Entertainment, and BG Productions.

PMPC OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The Philippine Movie Press Club, Inc. (PMPC) is saddened by the unfortunate turn of events at the recently-concluded 30th PMPC Star Awards for Movies.

Immediately after the awards ceremonies, a malicious allegation circulated in social media questioning the veracity of our Best Actor winner.

We strongly refute the said allegation. The voting members gave their utmost trust and confidence to the winners in their respective categories, thereby making the results final, uncontestable and sacred.

For the past three decades of Star Awards for Movies, the PMPC has weathered the hardest obstacles and has remained undaunted.

There will be forces that will try to destroy the credibility and reputation of the Club, but the PMPC will remain committed to its objectives, and no amount of intimidation and coercion can shake its foundation.

The PMPC, its Board of Directors and Members, will always stand firm on their decision.

akakaloka ang PMPC Star Awards for Movies na ginanap kagabi sa Solaire. niloko ako ng ilang members ng PMPC - pinaniwala ako that they will vote for my baby Jeorge Estregan for Best Actor for his sterling performance sa pelikulang Boy Golden. ganito kasi ang scenario - barely two weeks ago, some members talked to me at nagtanong kung hindi ko raw ba ila-lobby si Jeorge Estregan for Best Actor dahil ang kanilang napusuang rightful winner na si Joel Torre for the movie On The Job won't get the votes dahil hindi nila kayang magbayad sa voting members, i thought of something. kung hindi rin lang mananalo si joel torre who is the rightful winner, might as well fight na lang for my anak-anakang jeorge estregan for Boy Golden dahil they said that he is next in line for Best Actor. but how? i have to call first members of PMPC para makasiguro ako sa pagkapanalo ng alaga ko dahil PR man ako. that's part of the lobbying. normal lang iyon - kahit sa Oscar's sa America ay uso ang lobbying, di ba? i have to siyempre weigh first kung may laban ako. since 38 lang naman ang voting members, i have to get at least a vote more than half of them - meaning, more than 19 in short. so i commissioned 22 of them bago ako sumugal. huwag na nating pangalanan but worse come to worst ay willing ako to name names. promise! wala akong pakialam dahil lokohan pala ito. nagulat na lang ako nang malaman ko that one voting PMPC member nilang si francis simeon lobbied for Vice Ganda pala for Best Actor.. Nagbayad siya ng pera sa mga kasamahan niya sa PMPC para manalo so Vice Ganda who is abroad. mamatay na ang nagsisisnungaling. alam niyo naman ako, mayabang din at kalahati. nangutang ako sa isang friend ng pera para huwag lang madehado ang alaga ko kaya nagbayad ako ng mas higher. kaso, ang 3 members ng executive branch nila sa PMPC named Mel Navarro, Roldan Catro and Fernan de Guzman are for Vice Ganda dahil mas nauna sila naka-commit doon. at ang malungkot, ayaw nilang ipakita ang tunay na resulta ng botohan nila - itinatago nila. kasi nga, if I had 22 committed members, ilan na lang ang natitira sa kanila? 16? in short, i already have the numbers. kaya lang, since ayaw nilang ipakita ang tunay na resulta ng votes, nanalo si Vice Ganda dahil kontrolado nila ang results. i am an outsider of PMPC kaya i have all the right to lobby - since hindi naman pala mananalo ang righrful winner na si JOEL TORRE, might as well to fight for second best and that's joerge estregan dahil sila naman ang nagsabi. pero ang nag-lobby kay Vice Ganda for Best Actor ay VOTING MEMBER ng PMPC na si FRANCIS SIMEON. hindi ba sila nahiya noon? Nasaan ang delicadeza nila? bawal iyon sa members to campaign for a nominee, di ba? either he must abstain from voting for his ward dahil pangit talagang tingnan. ako? okay lang iyon dahil outsider ako and every PR MAN has the right to campaign or lobby for a client for whatever reason. nakakaloka lang dahil papaano nangyaring natalo ako when many of them committed with me for Jeorge Estregan. i personally spoke to many of them and they said yes. yung ibang nakausap ko who said na hindi sila maka-commit sa akin dahil nauna na raw silang pinakiusapan ni FRANCIS SIMEON for Vice Ganda (may bayad din po ito like what I did na pinangutang ko pa ha!) were rommel placente, mildred bacud, sandy es mariano, timmy basil, roldan castro (co-chairman ng Star Awards), among others. okay lang naman ang lobbying pag hindi ka member and i don't care kung magalit sila sa akin - nanggagago sila kasi eh. puwes, magkabukohan na tayo. VICE GANDA's winning was PAID. at lalaban ako sa isyung ito. yung ibang nabigyan ko ay nag-hunyango sa akin and ok lang iyon. magkakaalaman din kami in due time. hindi alam ni jeorge estregan ito dahil ipinangutang ko siya- sobrang mahal ko lang ang batang iyan dahil napakabait at mahusay talagang aktor kaya lang nabiktima kami ng DAGDAG-BAWAS gang sa LOOB MISMO NG PMPC. i am willing to talk at any convenient time at paninindigan ko ito at any given time at your convenience. NGAYON, NASAAN NA ANG TUNAY NA KREDIBILIDAD NG PMPC?
