That time, I would make sure na fun lang &#x27;yung ipo-post ko lang tapos nagtu-tweet ako ng #Pagbabago. Tapos kinakagat naman nila, so kinarir ko.”</p><p>Vice Ganda said it just so happened that ABS-CBN Publishing liked the idea of his compiled posts that they asked him to come up with more.</p><p>“Noong nasa Boracay ako, bago ako umuwi, sulat lang ako ng sulat. Nung na-compile ko &#x27;yung mga sinulat ko tapos pinakita ko sa kanila, natuwa naman sila. Laugh trip lang ito,” he said.</p><p>Stressing that the book does not tackle serious topics, Vice Ganda said it is just meant to make people laugh during their down time.</p><p>“Gusto ko lang magpasaya. Kung tutuusin hindi naman ako kikita ng malaki dito sa libro. Gusto ko lang mag-spread ng good vibes lalo na sa panahon ng traffic, wala ka ng magawa, malibang ka lang sa mga ganitong sitwasyon,” he said.</p><p>Does he have any message for those who think he does not have the credibility to be considered an author?</p><p>“Ay wala. They don&#x27;t deserve my time. Sa mga followers and supporters na lang, I love you,” he said.</p><p>“President Vice: Ang Bagong Panggulo ng Pilipinas” is available at various National Book Store branches nationwide.</p>
