Vice Ganda ‘burned out’ like Sarah Geronimo?

Kapamilya comedian, host, and actor Vice Ganda admitted he can relate to the recent breakdown of singer-actress Sarah Geronimo in front of her fans while on tour.

In an interview with Boy Abunda for a column in Pilipino Star Ngayon, Vice Ganda said there were days when he would feel unhappy despite a successful career.

“Ba’t ganun, andami kong pera, blockbuster mga pelikula ko, hit ang mga shows ko… ba’t hindi ako masaya?” the “It’s Showtime” host said.

He also got to a point where he asked the ABS-CBN management to allow him to have a break for being “burned out.”

“Nagpaalam nga ako sa management. Tinanong ko kung puwede bang hindi na ako mag-film fest, puwede bang magbawas ako ng show,” Vice Ganda said.

The comedian admitted that he started experiencing anxiety attacks which lead him to seek professional help.

He also sought help from friends Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez who told him,” The mind is the playground of the devil.”

This advice helped the comedian move forward and change his mindset in life.

“Ngayong alam ko nang pinagti-tripan ako nitong devil, hindi ko ito papayagan. Every day, naka-mind set ako – I have to be happy, I embrace my happiness and my blessings, and I have to serve my purpose. Kaya every day sa ‘Showtime,’ nagpapatawa ako dahil iyon ang purpose ko, at ‘yon ang masaya akong ginagawa ko,” he added.

Vice Ganda reminded Geronimo not to be hard on herself and to take a break. He added that entertaining negative thoughts can make someone feel empty.
