Vice Ganda got real about his past gut issues during Santé Barley's “SPEED Salvo 2025” event on Sunday, February 2. During the event, the Unkabogable Star was introduced as the new celebrity ambassador of the health product brand.

Vice, together with Santé CEO Joey Marcelo, talked about health and wellness with host MJ Felipe. In the middle of their conversation, the It's Showtime host was asked about the effect of drinking barley on his health.

He confessed, “Alam mo yung isa pang magandang effect sa akin, magmula noong nag-take ako ng Santé Barley, natulungan talaga ako sa constipation. Promise. Kasi, problema ko talaga 'yan.”

Vice said having a normal bowel movement has a great effect to his daily mood.

He related, “Masarap sa umaga na alam mong magaan ang tiyan mo, nailabas mo ang toxins mo. Doon siya nagsisimula, yung paggising ko sa umaga, diretso na agad ako ng CR, lahat ng mga ganap ko doon, maliligo ako, magto-toothbrush na ako. Maraming pagkakataon na yun ang nami-miss ko, wala siya dahil constipated ako. Pero dahil sa Santé Barley, nalilinis ko agad yung toxins, magaan ang pakiramdam ko.”

He further noted the importance of having a healthy gut in his daily routine.

Vice said, “Napakahalaga sa akin na simulan ang araw ko nang magaan ang pakiramdam ko kasi from home, as I wake up every day, didiretso ako ng studio, I need to feel good about myself.

“I need to feel good kasi yung ang gustong makita sa akin ng viewers ko at gusto kong mai-share din sa viewers ko, yung feeling good every day. Kahit di man every day, kailangang maraming pagkakataon na feeling good tayo para magpasaya. At hindi ako makakapagpasaya if I don't feel good about myself physically, di ba, kung mabigat ang pakiramdam ko.”

“Ganun lang ang araw ko every day: gigising ako, didiretso ako sa salamin, kakausapin ko ang sarili ko at sasabihin ko sa kanya, 'Napakasuwerte natin may work tayo, pinagpala tayo, magpapsalamat tayo sa Diyos at today, maramin pa tayong biyayang tatanggapin.'”

Live for more

Aside from having a healthy gut, Vice also emphasized the importance of having a strong immune system to be able to live for more.

“Ang pinakamahalaga sa akin is nabo-boost niya ang immunity ko,” he said.

“Through that, I am able to live for more kasi I am part of a very challenging industry, di ba? Very challenging and demanding. Dine-demand niya so much of my time, my strength, and my health. So, kahit ang daming privileges and opportunities na dumarating sa buhay ko, sa trabaho ko o sa karera ko, kung hindi ako physically fit,kung hindi ko magagawa ang trabaho ko, hindi ko maa-achieve yung mga marami ko pang pinapangarap na mapagtagumpayan sa buhay.”

Vice then mentioned the benefits of taking supplements.

“Natutulungan niya akong maging maayos ang pangangatawan ko, di ba, upang mas humaba pa yung lakas ko araw-araw. Especially ngayon, ang stress level natin ang taas-taas. 'Tapos, yung 24 hours in a day, ang bilis-bilis niyang maubos.

“Pero bago pa maubos yung oras at yung araw, minsan nauubos na yung lakas natin. Hindi puwedeng mangyari yun. Dapat mayroon tayong karampatang lakas sa pangangatawan upang maharap natin ang mga kailangan nating harapin at mapagtagumpayan araw-araw.

“Sa trabaho, personal o propesyunal man 'yan, kailangan mayroon tayo laging lakas at yung immune system natin ay kailangan nating pahalagahan.”

Aside from having a healthy body, the TV host-actor also gives importance to keeping a sound mind.

“Feeling ko, yun ang healthy life,” Vice said.

“Yung being able to live a life that's full of gratitude, full of happiness. Marami tayong issues, marami tayong ikinaiinis every day, pero dapat hindi n'yan ma-invalidate kung ano yung beauty around us.

“Feeling ko, a healthy life is a life full of gratitude and happiness, and embracing the fact that whatever is happening, mayroon kang blessing na matatanggap.”

He concluded, “Combo siya, yung physical at mental, kailangang combined siya at positibo siyang nagsisimula sa umaga.”
