The events in Sorsogon became controversial after Governor Edwin “Boboy” Hamor ejected the popular band Kamikazee. This happened following the band’s refusal to take a photo at one of the main tourist attractions, the Blue Roses. Allegedly, it was due to the band’s attitude that Governor Hamor became angry and decided to evict them. What’s more, he didn’t allow Kamikazee to continue staying in their accommodation and left them to sleep at the airport.
In a public address, Governor Hamor quickly apologized to the people of Sorsogon. He announced that he would bring the well-known comedian Vice Ganda to their area to ensure the happiness of the residents.
A week later, Vice Ganda shared a photo on his Facebook page, seemingly taken during his show in Sorsogon. Along with the photo, he expressed his gratitude to the people there. In his caption, Vice Ganda said, “Thank you so much, Madlang People in Sorsogon for having a great time with me!!!! The experience was so much fun!!!!!!!!!”
In the photo, you can see the joy of the audience, and there were positive greetings and happiness in the reactions from netizens on his Facebook post. Despite the controversy, Vice Ganda was once again warmly welcomed in Sorsogon, and it seems that the negative incident during his performance was forgiven and forgotten. This incident highlights the importance of understanding and forgiveness in promoting peace and happiness within a community.
