Vice Ganda questions contestant’s lack of Comelec knowledge

TV host and comedian Vice Ganda expressed concern during a recent 'It's Showtime' episode when a 20-year-old contestant admitted to having little knowledge about the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

The contestant, Heart Aquino, said she was not familiar with Comelec and had yet to register as a voter, prompting Vice Ganda to question how someone her age could be unaware of such an important body.

Vice Ganda prodded Aquino further about whether she watches TV or reads the news, revealing that she does not have a television at home and rarely sees election-related topics on social media.

Hosts Kim Chiu and Jhong Hilario explained that Comelec oversees election-related activities in the Philippines, while Vice Ganda urged fairness in electoral processes.

Celebrity judge JC de Vera reminded contestants to stay informed about crucial national issues like elections, emphasizing the importance of supporting the country and understanding what is happening around them.

The contestant's lack of knowledge sparked discussions among viewers about the state of education in the Philippines and voter awareness.
