Vice Ganda buys new car following vehicular accident

Vice Ganda just bought a new car!

The “It’s Showtime” host shared the news one month after she was involved in a car accident.

In a YouTube vlog, Vice said that it would take months to repair her old car.

“Dahil it will take time bago magawa ‘yung sasakyan ko, mga ilang months, so kailangan natin ng panibagong service,” Vice said.

Vice’s new BMW 735i Pure Excellence car runs on six-cylinder gasoline with a full-glass sunroof.

While checking the car’s sound system, she played her song, “Rampa.”

In the latter part of the video, Vice opened up about how last month’s accident affected her, admitting it cost her a lot of money, stress, and trauma.

“‘Yung pakiramdam na nabangga ka, nasa loob ka ng sasakyan na malala, 'day, iba ‘yun,” she said.

“Still, nagpapasalamat tayo sa Panginoon, buhay tayo. Mas mahalaga naman ang buhay kesa dito sa mga materyal na bagay na ito. Mababawi naman natin ‘to kung pagtatrabahuhan pa natin. ‘Di ko naman sinasabing OK lang na mabangga, pero we still feel blessed. Na-trauma lang talaga tayo.”

[Still, I'm thankful to God that we are still alive, which is more important than any of these material things. We can only have these things back when we work for them. I'm not saying it's OK to get into an accident. We still feel blessed. I was just traumatized.]

Her husband, Ion Perez, then underscored the advantage of having a luxury car in case of emergencies.

“‘Yun lang talaga ‘yung advantage talaga ng mahal na sasakyan, ‘yung sobrang tibay sa ganung impact,” he said.

Vice agreed and said that it is the reason why they tend to go for expensive cars.

“Kasi ‘yun nga, ‘yung safety talaga,” Vice said.

“Kung ibang sasakyan ‘yun, kung ‘yung hindi kasing luxury nung sasakyan na binangga, baka daw patay ‘yung driver,” she added.

Vice's car was among the vehicles accidentally hit by a truck driver in an accident that went viral, after witnesses posted videos of the celebrity asking other victims if they were OK.

On "It's Showtime" following the QC accident, Vice called on the transportation service company, Lalamove, to help the driver working for the company.

Vice and Ion are among the hosts of “It’s Showtime,” which made its GTV debut on July 1.
