Comedian and noontime TV host Vice Ganda lost his cool on Wednesday after he was stuck in horrific Manila traffic for two hours.
In a series of tweets, Vice Ganda said it pains him that the traffic situation along EDSA has only worsened through the years.
“Sobrang lala talaga ng traffic. Alam kong di na to bago pero di mo pa rin mapigilang mapamura dahil sa perwisyo. Lalo na’t milyon ang tax ko,” he said.
(The traffic is really horrible. I know this isn’t new, but I can’t stop myself from cussing because of this inconvience. Moreso because I pay millions in taxes.)
Venting his dissatisfaction, the TV host said he can’t help but wonder where his taxes are being spent.
Sobrang lala talaga ng traffic. Alam kong di na to bago pero di mo pa rin mapigilang mapamura dahl sa perwisyo. Lalo na’t milyon ang tax ko!

Twing magbabayad ako ng milyun milyong tax napapapikit ako. At tuwing naiipit ako sa trapik napapamura tlga ko sa sama ng loob. San napunta?

Andami ko pang patatawaning tao pero paano ko sila mapupuntahan kung ganito ang sitwasyon ng trapiko? Kahit anung adjust mo wala pa rin!

Kung di man sa pagresolba ng trapiko sana lang talaga sa ibang serbisyo mapakinabangan ng mga Pilipino ung tax na ibinayad ko.

“Twing magbabayad ako ng milyun milyong tax napapapikit ako. At tuwing naiipit ako sa trapik napapamura tlga ko sa sama ng loob. San napunta?” he said, unedited.
(Everytime I pay my taxes, I have to close my eyes. And everytime I get stuck in traffic I have to cuss out of frustration. Where did it go?)
“Andami ko pang patatawaning tao pero paano ko sila mapupuntahan kung ganito ang sitwasyon ng trapiko? Kahit anung adjust mo wala pa rin! Kung di man sa pagresolba ng trapiko sana lang talaga sa ibang serbisyo mapakinabangan ng mga Pilipino ung tax na ibinayad ko,” he added.
(I have a lot of people to make laugh but how can I get to them in this traffic situation? Whatever adjustments I try to make to get there on time are useless! If they can’t resolve this traffic, they could at least fix other services that benefit Filipinos with these taxes I pay.).
In the end, Vice Ganda just opted to return to ABS-CBN because the traffic kept him from going to his work commitment.
“At ayun na nga di nako nakarating s patutunguhan ko. Bumalik na lng ako ng ABS. So from 3:45-5:45 nag fieldtrip lng kami sa EDSA! Ang husay,” he said. (In the end, I wasn’t even able to go to where I was trying to go. So I just went back to ABS. So from 3:45 to 5:45, we had a fieldtrip on EDSA! How awesome.)
Vice Ganda even said in jest that he would buy a private plane to to take him wherever he needs to go when he becomes extremely rich just to avoid the traffic.
Pag ako lng talaga naging ubod yaman mageeroplano ko araw araw at HU U ka saking hayup kang bwakanabitch kang trapik ka!
