Among the numerous jokes of the comedian host Vice Ganda, the “hawla joke” (cage joke) becomes popular issue and viral up to this week after his video uploaded on YouTube. This one, the hawla joke comes out during the episode of the noontime show ‘It’s Showtime,’ in the segment of “I Am Pogay” the joke left Anne Curtis speechless.

It can be remembered that during the question and answer portion of the segment “I Am Pogay,” Vice Ganda asked one of the contestants Limuel Dizon to relate the bird cage to life.

The contestant answered Vice Ganda’s question saying, “Ang hawla (bird’s cage) ay sumisimbolo for safety” answered Limuel.

Immediately, Vice Ganda reacted to his answer; “For safety! Naku, sabi ko na nga ba, Vhong dapat nagdala ka ng hawla,” commented Vice Ganda and ran to the other corner of the stage laughing.

Some of the co-hosts, Karylle and Anne Curtis left speechless as Vice Ganda continued cracking the joke linking it to the mauling incident of Vhong Navarro.

“Sabi niya kasi safety e! Kung naisip natin ‘yn e ‘di hindi napahamak ‘yung kaibigan naming…,” explained the comedian host.

In this connection, many are getting curious as to why Vice Ganda is always making a joke, much more at this time that one of “It’s Showtime” co-hosts Vhong Navarro is involved in a controversial issue that most of Vice Ganda’s jokes are linked to the mauling incident of Vhong Navarro.

In an interview with the ABS-CBN on Wednesday, February 5, 2014, Vice Ganda explained why most of his jokes are link to Vhong-Deniece-and-Cedric issue. The comedian hosts said that Vhong Navarro has asked him to make him laugh and let the entire family enjoy the show.

“‘Yun ang request niya, ‘patawanin niyo ako.’ Kaya sabi ko, ‘Sige, papatawanin kita at araw-araw ikaw ang gagawin kong subject sa joke ko.’ So pinapatawa ko siya. Tawa lang siya ng tawa,” the TV host said.

“Hindi naman namin ginagawa ito para gumanti. Ginagawa namin ito para gumaan ang sitwasyon kasi as it is ay malungkot na kami sa “Showtime” sa nagyari kay Vhong,” he continued.

“Pero hindi kami pwedeng magpa-overpower sa lungkot kasi as it is, malungkot nga. ‘Yung mga nanonood sa kanilang bahay may mga pinagdadaanan din ‘yan. Kung palulungkutin namin sila ng palulungkutin, parang si namin mase-serve ang purpose ng show namin. And core ng “Showtime” dapat laging happy kasi we want the madlang people happy,” he added.

However, Vice Ganda knows that everything has limitations and even the Kapamilya Network management has expressed concerned about his jokes.

“Sinasabihan din ako ng management na ‘okay ‘yan pero hanggang diyan lang, hanggang ganito lang.’ Alam ko din naman ang limitasyon. Ito ay ginagawa namin hindi para gumanti, hindi. Gusri lang namin na mapagaan ‘yung pangyayari at makapagpasaya. At natutuwa kami na madami ang positibo ang pagtanggap sa biruan namin,” he explained.
