Pag ako ba ‘yung tumulong, dapat may presyo?“Tumulong na ako nang kusa, ayoko ko ngang magpa-acknowledge kaya hindi ko sinasabi. Pero ‘yung nilabas mo ‘yung pangalan ko, tapos inokray pa ako, nasaktan ako talaga,” he said.“Pag hindi ka tumulong, ang sama-sama mo. Pag tumulong ka, kikuwestiyonin pa kung bakit iyon lang ang tinulong mo. That hurts so much,” Vice Ganda said.

In that same post, he clarified that it was his sibling who paid for most of the bill, which reached P600,000.Ate Gay came out with the list in response to “bashers” who would mention Vice Ganda’s help during his hospitalization.“Laging pinagdidikit ‘yung mukha ko at ni Vice Ganda. Nahihiya ako kay Vice,” Ate Gay told host Ogie Diaz in the latter’s September 12 vlog.“Actually, tumulong si Vice. Sabi ko nga, ‘di ba, maliit at malaking halaga ay tulong. Oo, tinulungan ako. Pero nga, ang feeling ko, ‘yung mga namba-bash sa akin, parang feeling nila si Vice ‘yung nagbayad ng bill sa ospital.”Nonetheless, Ate Gay expressed his gratitude to Vice Ganda, saying, “Maraming salamat sa kanya dahil sa panahon na nahirapan ako sa ospital, ‘yung naalala ka lang niya, okay na ‘yun, eh.”“Tumulong pa siya, ‘di ba? Maraming salamat.”
