Vice Ganda is a household name in the Philippines, known for his vibrant personality, comedic talent, and his role as the main host on the popular show “It’s Showtime.” While fans are well-acquainted with his career and public persona, many might not know that Vice Ganda was also a devoted fur parent. His deep love for his pets, especially his first dog, Chip In, offers a glimpse into a more personal side of the comedian that isn’t often seen in the spotlight.

Vice Ganda, and “It’s Showtime” host, recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of his cherished dog, Chip In. This furry companion wasn’t just a pet to Vice—Chip In was his first dog and held a special place in his heart for the six years they spent together.
Vice Ganda took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to his departed friend. In his message, he affectionately referred to Chip In as “my dearest” and recounted the profound bond they shared.

Chip In was more than just a pet; he was a steadfast companion who stood by Vice Ganda’s side through thick and thin.
In his emotional post, Vice expressed his gratitude for the unwavering love and support Chip In provided. He remembered how his dog fought bravely against illness, seemingly aware that Vice wasn’t ready to say goodbye. “When you were sick, I asked you to fight because I was not ready to lose you,” he wrote, acknowledging the strength Chip In displayed in staying with him as long as possible. Despite the fight, Vice knew it was finally time to let Chip In rest, though the pain of losing him was almost unbearable.
As Vice mourned the loss of his beloved pet, he recognized that Chip In was much more than a dog. “You were my baby. My family. My true friend,” he shared, underscoring the deep connection they had. The grief Vice felt was intense, revealing just how much Chip In meant to him. He ended his tribute with a heartfelt note of gratitude, thanking God for bringing Chip In into his life and for the love they shared.
FULL MESSAGE:
My Dearest Chip In,
You have been with me for more than 6 years. You were my first fur baby. You were my source of joy when i was so down. You made me look forward to coming home from a very exhausting day. You stayed beside me when i was lonely. You listened to me when i was upset. You kissed me when i was crying. When u were sick i asked you to fight because i was not ready to lose you. I was too weak. It would break me. And you made sure to survive. We were so happy. I knew you fought hard enough to stay with me. But today i guess it’s really time to say goodbye and let you run and play in heaven.
Im so sad. Been crying since morning. I didnt know that losing a fur baby would hurt this much. I realized you were not just a dog. You were my baby. My family. My true friend. You gave me so much love. And i loved you with all my heart. I thank God for you.
Mommy Vice
This emotional farewell not only showcases the depth of Vice Ganda’s love for his pets but also reminds us of the profound impact that animals can have on our lives.
