BREAKING NEWS: Vice Ganda in Critical Condition! Ion Perez and Friends in Total Shock Over Tragic Incident

The entertainment industry is shaken to its core as one of the Philippines’ most iconic comedians and television personalities, Vice Ganda, is reportedly in critical condition following a shocking and unforeseen medical emergency. The incident, which occurred late last night, has left fans, friends, and loved ones in utter disbelief and heartbreak.

Vice Ganda, whose real name is Jose Marie Borja Viceral, was rushed to the hospital shortly after collapsing in his home in Quezon City. According to close sources, he had been experiencing unusual fatigue and dizziness for several days prior but brushed it off due to his busy schedule and ongoing commitments with ABS-CBN’s noontime show It’s Showtime and other tapings.

What Happened?

Reports say that Vice Ganda was at home with his partner, Ion Perez, and a few close friends when he suddenly complained of intense chest pain and shortness of breath. Before they could get him to the car, Vice collapsed and lost consciousness. Ion and the others quickly called emergency services, and paramedics arrived within minutes.

He was brought to St. Luke’s Medical Center where doctors immediately admitted him to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The latest medical bulletin states that Vice suffered from a cardiovascular complication, possibly a heart attack, though this is yet to be confirmed pending further examinations and test results.

Ion Perez and Friends in Deep Shock

Vice Ganda’s longtime partner, Ion Perez, was visibly distressed as he arrived at the hospital. Eyewitnesses say Ion was crying uncontrollably and kept repeating, “Please don’t take him away from me.” Close friends of the couple, including Anne Curtis, Jugs Jugueta, and Teddy Corpuz, have also been spotted at the hospital, all appearing devastated.

A source close to the couple said, “Vice has always been so full of life and energy. Seeing him like this is absolutely heartbreaking. We never thought something like this could happen to him.”

Fans and Celebrities Flood Social Media with Prayers

As soon as the news broke, social media platforms were flooded with hashtags like #PrayForViceGanda, #StayStrongVice, and #WeLoveYouVice. Thousands of fans and fellow celebrities expressed their concern, shock, and support.

Prominent personalities such as Lea Salonga, Angel Locsin, Bea Alonzo, and even former rival Boy Abunda have sent their prayers and love through heartfelt posts.

“Vice is a fighter. I believe he will get through this. The world still needs his laughter and love,” wrote Angel Locsin on X (formerly Twitter).

Vice’s Last Public Appearance

Just days ago, Vice Ganda appeared in high spirits during a live episode of It’s Showtime. He was his usual vibrant self—joking with co-hosts, engaging with the audience, and spreading positivity. Fans were shocked to hear about his sudden health decline, as there were no visible signs of illness.

During that episode, he even talked about his plans for a new movie and a possible vacation with Ion Perez, saying, “Pagkatapos ng lahat ng trabaho, magbabakasyon kami. Gusto ko lang magpahinga at makasama ang mga mahal ko sa buhay.”

Now, those words strike a deeper emotional chord with fans.

Medical Team Issues Cautious Update

This morning, Vice’s attending physician released a brief statement to the press:

“Vice Ganda is currently in a delicate but stable condition. He is under 24-hour observation, and we are doing everything we can to ensure his recovery. We ask the public to respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

Doctors are reportedly still running a series of tests to determine the exact cause of his collapse and whether there are underlying health issues that had gone unnoticed.

ABS-CBN Releases Official Statement

ABS-CBN, Vice’s home network, also issued a statement:

“We are deeply saddened by the news of our dear Vice Ganda’s medical emergency. He is a treasured part of our family, and we are extending all the support necessary to help him recover. We ask everyone to keep him in your prayers.”

What’s Next?

At this time, no official word has been given on when Vice Ganda may regain consciousness or whether he will be able to return to work anytime soon. Family members and close friends have asked for privacy and understanding, saying that they will release more updates as soon as possible.

In the meantime, fans all over the world are united in prayer and hope for the speedy recovery of one of the country’s most beloved entertainers.

Legacy and Impact

Vice Ganda is not just a comedian—he is a symbol of resilience, empowerment, and love. From breaking barriers as an openly gay entertainer in a conservative society to becoming a voice for the marginalized, Vice has touched millions of lives through his humor and compassion.

Many fans recall how Vice used his platform to inspire those struggling with their identity and mental health. He always emphasized self-love, acceptance, and courage—values that resonate even more now, as he fights for his own life.
