Taga-Bamban ka?’ Vice Ganda jokingly mistakes Kim Chiu for someone else

Taking her cue from the headline-making hearing at the Senate, Vice Ganda jokingly mistook her “It’s Showtime” co-host Kim Chiu for a fugitive ex-mayor, as seen in the noontime program’s August 30 episode.

The comedy superstar also “interrogated” Chiu, who is part-Chinese, on her residence and means of transport, in reference to the controversial escape of dismissed Bamban mayor Alice Guo.

Vice Ganda Mistakes Kim Chiu for Having Strange Origins When Joking ‘Taga-Bamban Ka?’ – A Confusing Moment
In a recent broadcast, Vice Ganda made the entire studio and audience burst into laughter when he suddenly asked Kim Chiu: “Taga-Bamban ka?” – this question implied that Kim was from Bamban, Tarlac, but made viewers surprised and even confused about the possibility that there was something they didn’t know about Kim’s origin. The question seemed to be just a joke but accidentally opened up a dramatic dialogue.

Kim Chiu, a bit confused at first, quickly understood Vice’s intention and responded with her familiar charm, creating a naturally humorous moment. However, this question also quickly spread online, causing many speculations. Some fans have raised the question: is there any detail about Kim that the public doesn’t know, or is this simply Vice’s joke?

However, many people think that this is just a funny incident of Vice Ganda, who is famous for his “shocking” style through random interactions with other artists. Their closeness is shown through such jokes, but this time, Vice seems to have caused a bit of an interesting misunderstanding among Kim’s fans, making people think a little about her background.

Was Vice just joking, or did he know something that the audience didn’t know?
