Vice Ganda revealed that he is planning to have a baby soon through surrogacy.

In an interview with Isko Moreno on his YouTube channel, Vice shared that he actually inquired about the process for surrogacy already in the US.

“I was planning to do it. Nagpunta akong Amerika tapos alam ko na kung saang pupuntang doctor, pero I didn’t have the luxury of time to pursue kasi ang dami kong ginagawa,” he said.

The comedian said that in order to pursue it, he needs to take a break from showbiz in the future.

“Kailangan kong mag-allot ng oras at magdevote ng oras, at tanggapin na kailangan ko munang i-set aside ‘yung showbiz kahit ilang buwan para matutukan ko ‘yun,” he stated.

Vice admitted that he initially did not plan to have a child.

He explained, “Kahit anong gawin natin, iba ‘yung tingin ng mga tao ‘pag ‘yung tatay niya bakla, naaawa ako dun sa bata. ‘Bakit ganun ‘yung tatay mo?’ Ayoko siyang ilagay sa sitwasyon na kailangan niyang magpaliwanag kung bakit ganun ‘yung tatay niya, hindi katulad ng mga pangkaraniwang tatay ng mga classmates niya.

“Masasaktan siya eh at mararamdaman niyang baka may mali sa amin kaya ayoko.”

Vice relayed that his plans and perspective changed after meeting his partner Ion Perez.

“I found it really so beautiful na sabi ko, kayang-kaya namin magkababy. Sabi ko, ‘Gusto ko na siyang buuin talaga’ tapos bigla nalang, instantly, gusto ko na rin magka-baby,” he relayed.

The It’s Showtime host pointed out that he will rather focus on building the personality of his future child than listen to other people’s opinion.

“Wala akong pakialam kung anong sasabihin nila—ang mahalaga nalang ay ibe-build ko ‘yung personality ng magiging anak ko, ‘yung character niya,” he said.

“Ganun naman nangyayari sa atin, ‘di ba? Hindi naman maganda ‘yung nakapaligid sa atin eh, pero dahil ang ganda nung nabuo sa atin, kinaya natin lahat ng mga nakakaharap natin, kayang-kaya natin.”

Vice hopes to have a baby girl in the future.

“Gusto ko ‘yung naka-gown siya, naka-ballet shoes siya, naka-high socks siya,” he said.

The comedian said that he is also open to having twins.

“Pwede rin babae’t lalaki. Kasi ‘di ba, ganun tayo, kung anong nadeprive sa atin nung bata, gusto nating ibawi? Gusto kong gawin sa kanila ‘yung hindi ko na-experience, papa-experience ko sa kanila, we will experience that together,” he stated.

Vice and Ion got engaged in February 2020.

They got married in a ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2021.

“Nag-concert ako sa America tapos nagkataon na anniversary din namin. Tapos nagpunta kami ng Vegas.… Sobrang spontaneous noon. Buti nga meron pang slot doon sa pinuntahan naming chapel,” Vice said about their wedding ceremony in the US in an episode of It’s Showtime in February 2022.

With the ongoing pandemic that time, Vice shared that he opted to have a small ceremony than a big wedding.

“Parang dinedma ko na ‘yung pangarap ko na bongga ‘yung singsing, ‘yung damit. Parang wala na akong pakialam. At this point, kahit walang tao, wala na ‘yung mga kaibigan ko, ang mahalaga na lang kami. Nandoon siya at nandoon ako. Tapos sabihin na natin ‘yung gusto nating sabihin.… Ang saya-saya namin kasi ang ganda-ganda ng pinagdaanan namin,” he stated.

Vice remarked that he appreciated the support that they received from their loved ones for their union.

“Sobrang bongga lang na parang it was celebrated by everybody.… I was just so happy na ang daming nagmamahal sa aming dalawa and ang dami palang happy para sa amin,” he said.
