“To all of the women who are paving the way for little girls to become leaders — being such a good example na parang kaya nilang abutin yung mga dreams nila…” - @annecurtissmith 🫶🏻
Ito ang problema ng maraming mambabatas.
Hindi nila alam ang batas. Our lawmakers are the law breakers.
Mula sa Bawal Bastos Law hanggang sa Anti-Plunder Act o Anti-Graft & Corrupt Practices Act. Kaya bastos na, ang marami - magnanakaw pa.
Rep Bong Suntay must apologize & make the necessary amends to Ms Anne Curtis. There is absolutely no excuse for his repulsive remarks.
Ang mas nakakabahala, patuloy pa niyang iginigiit na walang mali sa kanyang sinabi.
If the honorable congressman thinks those remarks belong in the halls of Congress, one can only imagine what passes for normal conversation in private, especially when women aren’t in the room.
What followed was even worse: intellectual dishonesty and refusal to engage with criticism. The familiar playbook of strongman politics that seems to be spreading everywhere these days.
The analogy wasn’t malicious said the person who made the remark. But the impact was clear..it made people, most especially women feel disgusted and disrespected.
If that kind of analogy was used to make a point it clearly reveals the mindset of the person who said it.
That’s not something we should normalize.
