"Pilipinas Got Talent" judge Vice Ganda recently slammed rumors that Robin Padilla hates gay people.

In the past, there have been some rumors that Padilla discriminated gay people because his religion was unaccepting of it.

However, during a recent interview with PEP.ph, Vice said that Padilla is such a gentleman and he also treats him as he would treat any other woman.

"Ang bait ni Robin, eh. Napakabait. Sinabi niya sakin, 'Na-ooffend ka ba kasi treat ko sa iyo ay babae? Minsan, ang tawag ko sayo ay Ms. Vice?' Sabi ko, 'Ay, hindi. It doesn't really matter kung tawagin mo akong Sir or Ma'am. Basta with respect, hindi mo ako ginagag* o ano, wala sakin yun,'" he said.

(Robin is nice, very nice. He told me, 'Do you get offended whenever I treat you like a woman? Sometimes I even call you Ms. Vice?' I told him, 'No, it doesn't really matter if you call me sir or ma'am as long as you respect me. It's not an issue to me).

Vice then revealed that Padilla told him that he doesn't see him as a man.

At that time, Vice said that Padilla is such a gentleman.

"Malaglagan lang ako ng tissue, sasabihin niya, 'Ako na, ako na.'"

(Sometimes, if my tissue falls, he will tell me, 'I'll be the one to do it.')

Meanwhile, Vice revealed that he's been asking Padilla to go back to ABS-CBN because that's where his wife Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla is currently working at.

At one point, Vice teased Padilla by saying that he feels the couple asked the management if they could both work with him. Mariel works with Vice on "It's Showtime."

He added that whenever he's with Mariel, they also talk about Padilla. When he's with Padilla, they always talk about his wife.

In other news, Vice also revealed that Mariel and Amy Perez's inclusion to "It's Showtime" has changed the dynamics of the show for the better.

"In fairness, masaya na nandun sina Mariel at Amy. Nakakatulong, nakakadagdag ng fun. Nagbago na ang dynamics... yung pagpasok ni Mariel at Amy, nakadagdag," he said.

(In fairness, we're happy to have Mariel and Amy. It helped add more fun to the show. The dynamics changed).
