Joining her on set was George Royeca, a staunch advocate for safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation solutions. Together, they embodied the heart of Angksangga’s advocacy, blending fun and purpose to inspire and engage.

“This isn’t just about a campaign. It’s about making a difference for every Filipino who dreams of better opportunities, livelihoods, and benefits,” said Royeca, highlighting the partylist's commitment to supporting workers, small businesses, and transport-related initiatives.

Vice Ganda, radiating her trademark personality, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership. “Ang saya ng energy ngAngksangga! Hindi lang advocacy-driven, pero puno din ngpag-asa at good vibes. This is the kind of movement that inspires people to get involved and believe in change,” she shared.

The shoot became even more vibrant when Vice and George hit the floor to dance to Angksangga’s catchy campaign jingle, “107 Na!” Their impromptu performance had the entire set cheering, with the upbeat tune showcasing the partylist’s ballot number, 107, in a memorable and fun way.

“Vice embodies the spirit of positivity and resilience that Angksangga stands for,” Royeca added. “Her energy reminds us that advocating for our communities can be both impactful and enjoyable.”

The campaign leverages Vice Ganda’s influence and humor to connect with voters, particularly the youth, while emphasizing Angksangga’s dedication to practical solutions for pressing issues like public transport, job creation, and worker protection.

As the 2024 elections approach, the partnership between Vice Ganda and Angksangga is expected to amplify the partylist’s reach and inspire voters to join them in their mission toward a brighter future.

Vice Ganda Leads Advocacy for Gig Workers' Rights with Angkasangga Partylist

In a remarkable move of solidarity and support for the rights and recognition of gig and informal workers in the Philippines, Vice Ganda, the nation’s phenomenally beloved superstar, has officially endorsed Angkasangga Partylist. This was formally announced last October 5, when Vice Ganda stood side by side with her long-time friend and the CEO of Angkas, George Royeca, who has recently decided to take his advocacy to the political arena.

Angkasangga Partylist, under the leadership of George Royeca, is setting the stage for a historical campaign aimed directly at elevating the lives and securing the future of the informal sector in the Philippines, which predominantly includes gig workers involved in various industries, notably the entertainment sector. The partylist is pioneering an initiative to bring to light the often overlooked and undervalued contributions of informal workers to the national economy.

Through Vice Ganda's endorsement, Angkasangga Partylist gains a powerful voice that resonates not only within the LGBTQ+ community but also across the broad spectrum of gig and informal workers in the entertainment industry. Vice Ganda’s unparalleled influence and extensive outreach bid to amplify the partylist’s core advocacy—recognition and substantial support for the informal sector.

George Royeca and Angkas have already proven their commitment to the welfare of gig workers through the innovative systems and support mechanisms implemented within Angkas. Now, by transitioning into politics, Royeca intends to bring this advocacy to a national level, ensuring that the informal sector's contributions are recognized and that they receive the benefits and support they rightfully deserve.

“I stand with George Royeca and Angkasangga Partylist because I believe in their vision and their unwavering commitment to the informal sector and gig workers. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of countless Filipinos who strive to make a living through gig work. It’s more than just earning; it's about receiving the respect, security, and benefits these workers deserve,” said Vice Ganda.

The partnership between Vice Ganda and Angkasangga Partylist symbolizes a milestone in the collective fight for the rights and recognition of gig and informal workers in the Philippines. By lending her voice, Vice Ganda not only supports a friend but stands firmly for a cause that affects millions of Filipinos, advocating for a future where all workers are valued and supported, irrespective of the nature of their work.

Shopee made dreams come true for Vice Ganda super fan

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in the country, made dreams come true for Anna Meniano, a Shopee employee and Vice Ganda super fan, who finally got the chance to meet her long-time idol.

Anna, who works for SPX Express, has always wished to meet Vice Ganda in person since becoming a fan of the comedian in 2009. “Lahat ng movies ni Vice pinapanood ko na since then. Every Christmas, panata na namin ng kids ko ang panoorin si Meme [I've watched all of Vice's movies since then. It's already a tradition for me and my kids to watch her movies every Christmas season],” she shared.

When Vice was announced as Shopee’s newest brand ambassador, the e-commerce company opened up an opportunity for employee fans to meet her up close, but luck was not on Anna’s side then.

In hopes of bringing joy and unforgettable experiences to its employees during the holidays, Shopee granted an encore to the much-desired meet and greet. Anna recalls how she was in the middle of work when the announcement was sent out and how she hastily sent her response in.

The company simply asked employees what makes them a superfan of Shopee’s current brand ambassador. “I named my son after Ion, dahil feeling ko, sila na ang ‘forever’ ni Ion. So I named my son ‘Zion’ [I named my son after Ion because I feel like they're the 'forever' couple. So I named my son 'Zion’],” stated Anna’s winning response and a photo of a signed, handwritten message from Vice that a friend got for her a few years back, saying how she hopes to meet Anna someday.

Anna said she didn’t even have her hopes up high because of the expected outpour of entries. “Hindi ako masyadong umasa kasi feeling ko marami ulit sasali, wala din naman akong maraming merch ni Meme. All I have with me is my hope, thinking na matutupad na ‘yung message niya sakin na sana magkita na kami [I didn't count on it too much because I felt like many people would join again. I don't have a lot of Meme's merchandise either. I was just hoping that her message about meeting each other someday might finally come true.]”

Anna's heartfelt story stood out and made her the contest winner. During the company’s holiday gathering, Shopee arranged a surprise meeting between Anna and Vice Ganda. Looking back at the heartwarming encounter, Anna recalled, "Sobrang nanginginig ako that time. Nung tinawag 'yung pangalan ko, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, kung lalapit ba ako o hindi. Pero 'yung once in a lifetime chance ko na makalapit kay Meme, 'yun 'yung nasa isip ko [I was shaking. I didn’t know what to do when they called my name—if I should come to the front or not. But I told myself that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.]”

The ecstatic fan, overwhelmed with emotions, expressed her admiration and finally shared about her son to Vice Ganda in person. “Thank you for loving me. Super na-aappreciate kita, [Thank you for loving me. I appreciate you so much],”  the celebrity warmly responded.

The moving encounter is just one of the many ways Shopee expresses its gratitude to its employees for their constant support and impactful contributions to the company. The contest not only brought joy to employees like Anna, but also showcased Shopee's commitment to creating unique and memorable experiences for its very own Shopee Fam and connecting with them beyond work.

“I want to thank Shopee for making my dream come true. I know ang daming nag join and pwedeng mapili [I know there are a lot who joined and anyone could have been chosen], but thank you for choosing me. I want to thank our Shopee Engagement Team for making this possible. Thank you for all your efforts to make employees happy,” Anna added.

As Shopee continues to be a beacon of joy and innovation in the e-commerce landscape, stories like Anna's exemplify the platform's dedication to bringing smiles and making dreams a reality.
