Vice Ganda: Anne will survive 'wardrobe malfunction' crisis

MANILA, Philippines - Comedian-actor Vice Ganda showed his support to actress Anne Curtis as he attended the bar press conference of latter's upcoming movie "Babe, I Love You," with Sam Milby.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, "Showtime" unevictable judge Vice Ganda condemned all those who took part in the proliferation of Anne's "Bora" photo.

Anne snatched the limelight after her controversial photo showing her right breast exposed while dancing for an ASAP summer special episode in Boracay went viral on social networks such as Facebook.

The photo also landed in different gossip sites, blogs, and tabloids.

"Sa nangyaring ito ay hindi naman si Anne Curtis ang nakakaawa. Ang nakakaawa ay 'yong mga taong hindi marunong mag-isip at talagang walang puso na na hindi nila naisip na maaring mangyari 'yon sa mga kapatid nilang babae, sa pamangkin nilang babae, sa tiyahin nila sa nanay nila," Vice Ganda said.

He admitted that he has also received the photo of Anne, but he never tried to open it out of respect to his co-worker. Anne is one of the co-hosts of "Showtime."

"Ang daming nag-forward sa akin ng pictures na 'yon e. Hindi ko tinignan kasi ganoon na lang ba kababaw ang kaligayahan ng tao sa ganong paraan makakakuha kayo ng kasiyahan? Nakakaawa ang mga taong nage-enjoy sa mg ganoong bagay. Isipin niyo na lang paano kung kapatid mo 'yon, kung nanay mo 'yon na pinag-uusapan ng kumpare ng tatay mo. Ano ang mararamdaman mo? Isipin mo na lang kung ano ang mangyayari?" the comedian said.

Vice Ganda said that after what happened, he believes that Anne is still okay, and that the actress knows how to move on.

"Wala masaya ako para kay Anne kasi matapos ang lahat ng mga nangyaring ito ay nandiyan pa din siya, nakatayo at nakangiti. She still manages to smile. Talagang survivor si Anne Curtis. Para sa akin, wala namang nawala kay Anne Curtis. Ganoon talaga kapag Dyosa, maliit lang na bahagi ng katawan mo ang makita ay nagkakandarapa na sila, ganoon talaga kapag Dyosa," Vice Ganda said.
