Manila, Philippines - Comedian Vice Ganda accepted the challenge of Korina Sanchez, Doris Bigornia and Kris Aquino to take the worldwide popular ALS ice bucket challenge in the last segment of It's Showtime on Monday, August 25, 2014.
Unlike in the common ice bucket challenges, Vice Ganda did the challenge as part of his production number. He performed Katy Perry's "Hot and Cold" before he was poured in with cold water.
"It po ay ginagawa namin para makapag-spread ng awareness para sa karamdaman na kung tawagin ay ALS. Ito ay isang karamdaman na nakakaapekto sa utak hangggang sa spinal cord. Ito po ay ginagawa upang ipaalam sa buong mundo ang ganitong uri ng karamdaman. Maraming di nakakaalam ng ganitong sakit kaya hanggang ngayon ay di pa nabibigyang lunas," Vice said.
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on someone's head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research.
After doing the challenge, Vice Ganda dared actors Coco Martin and Richard Yap, as well as "It's Showtime" director Bobet Vidanes, to do the same. He also promised to donate $100 for ALS Foundation.
Vidanes immediately took up the challenge, also live on "It's Showtime." He nominated his three kids to do it on a video, the birthday boy Jhong Hilario and the lovers Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia.
