Vice Ganda talked about malice among children during It’s Showtime’s ‘Isip Bata’ segment on August 1, 2023.
In the said episode, one of the contestants, Kulot, narrated a story about a girl who played with other children in their school and the reaction of her mother when she got informed about it.
“Sabi nung bata naglaro daw sila ng Chinese Garter sa school. Sabi nung nanay ‘bat ka naglaro makikita ‘yung panty mo’ sabi nung bata ‘tinanggal ko naman ‘yung panty ko'” Kulot said.
Vice then responded to Kulot’s story, saying that there’s nothing wrong with what happened because children have no malice in their minds.
“Among kids, there’s nothing wrong with it, kahit naman sa bahay kapag naglalaro tayo wala tayong mga salawal kasi to begin with, wala silang malisya,” said Vice.
“Pero pag lalabas tayo syempre dinadamitan tayo ng ating mga magulang para mas kumpleto ‘yung ating kasootan,” he added.
Some netizens interpreted the story shared by Kulot to show the difference between the mind of an adult and a child.

They also connected Kulot’s story to the issue being faced by Vice and his boyfriend Ion Perez who’s receiving judgment from adults because of their way of eating a cake in front of children.
