Vice Ganda re-imagined in Hokkaido’s flower fields

MANILA, Philippines - With his wit and drive to be defined more than just “that gay celebrity,” Vice Ganda is easily one of the most recognizable performers in the showbiz industry. It’s not for naught, most of the time, as the comedian carries the torch for the marginalized LGBT community. This time, he breaks another barrier as the first openly gay man to be on the cover of the highly anticipated September big fashion issue of MEGA.

The issue also marks the last edition of the #MakingMEGA campaign, that’s why it’s highly appropriate to be entitled #MakingMEGATheFinale.  It is a fitting end to an illustrious journey, with one of the grandest stars. In this final blowout, get to know Vice Ganda amidst the scenic flower fields in Hokkaido, Japan.

From being a stand-up comedian to one of the industry’s most bankable stars, Vice Ganda paved a long way for himself. He gives a nod to his humble beginnings, from his simple childhood in Tondo, to his earlier projects when he started in show business. Being one of the most successful acts to date, Vice Ganda gives insight to why and how he is at the top of his game. He also shares a special connection with Japan while revealing a lighter and more vulnerable side that the public is not used to.
