Manila raved about their meeting, describing the comedian as “Filipino royalty” through her Instagram page on Saturday, Feb. 3.
“I met Filipino Royalty!” she exclaimed. “I’ve been such a fan of Vice Ganda for years from when I first heard that one of the most successful, most celebrated, most famous celebrities in the Philippines was a leader of the Filipino LGBTQ+ community, and a TRUE QUEEN!”
“I fan-girled so hard! Thank you, [Vice Ganda], for supporting ‘Drag Den Philippines’ and inviting me to ‘It’s Showtime,'” she continued.
