An old clip from the segment &quot;Expecially For You&quot; of the top noontime show &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime&quot; in which Vice Ganda said that people should not start a family if they are not financially prepared has gone viral again.The viral video, which is once again making the rounds on the internet with posts from Facebook users and conversations on Reddit, has drawn a wide range of reactions, highlighting the contrasting perspectives of so-called boomers and more progressive, “woke” netizens.In the resurfaced video,Vice told viewers, “Kung wala kang pera, &#x27;wag kang gumawa ng pamilya. &#x27;Yun lang &#x27;yun.”&quot;Sorry this opinion might offend other people. Pero kung wala kang pera, &#x27;wag kang gumawa ng pamilya. Dahil kawawa lalong-lalo na kung may iluluwal kang batang hindi mo mapapakain nang maayos,&quot; she stressed.<div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1587286995722632%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=380&amp;t=0" width="380" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>He went on to say that an individual is only accountable to himself, and it is our obligation to look after ourselves.“At the end of the day, ikaw ang sasalba sa sarili mo. Hindi ibang tao, ni hindi gobyerno. Ikaw,&quot; he expressed.On Reddit, the majority of users can&#x27;t believe how Vice&#x27;s stance on family planning has sparked outrage, arguing that in this economic climate, Pinoys should consider twice before starting their own families.One user said, “Then the boomers will ask you, ‘Why aren’t you married yet?’ ‘Why don’t you have kids yet?’”One user confessed, “It’s true. I got a girlfriend and told me, ‘What’s important is that we love each other. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have money.’ What? You think I’m just gonna eat air?”Another confession from Reddit user: “My mom keeps pushing me to have kids. I told her I don’t have enough money. She said to me, ‘When I gave birth to you, I didn’t have any money either.’ I answered, ‘Look at me now. Am I happy?’ She went silent.”Another user commented, “But the older generation won’t get it. Back in their day, you could just ‘wing it.’”“Vice is right. Life is tough these days. Why would you start a family if you’re not ready?,” Reddit user pointed out.“It’s true. In this economy? Ultimately, the child suffers if the parents aren’t financially capable,” netizen wrote.Praising the “It’s Showtime” host, one Reddit user said, “Let us normalize [the discussion] of such topics and [ways] of thinking. It is not acceptable to just tolerate and normalize pregnancies without any financial [preparedness].”All of the comments in the article were posted a day ago.

The viral video is once again making the rounds on the internet with posts from Facebook users and conversations on Reddit, elicited a range of responses.
