Vice Ganda bares plans to have a baby through surrogacy

Vice Ganda opened up about her plans to have a baby through surrogacy in the future.

In a recent interview with former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno on his YouTube channel, the comedian said that starting a family wasn’t part of her plans at first because she didn’t want her future child to experience discrimination or social injustice of any form. 

“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,” she explained. 

But her perspective changed when she met the love of her life, TV personality Ion Perez, with whom she tied the knot at a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas in October 2021 after being together for almost three years. 

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

The It’s Showtime host revealed that she went to the United States one time to know more about the process and time it would require. “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,” she said, referring to her hosting gigs and shows in the Philippines.

“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,” she shared.

If ever, Vice is hoping to have a baby girl in the future. “Gusto ko yung nakagown siya, nakaballet shoes siya, nakahigh socks siya,” she said with excitement.

Vice is also looking at the possibility of having twins—one boy and one girl. “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 naexperience, papaexperience ko sa kanila, we will experience that together,” she said.
