We had it soooo fucking good during this era we didn’t even realize it til it was over. GMA outdid themselves so much with Maria Clara at Ibarra, I honestly think it will take a long while before they can produce another masterpiece that can beat or even compare to this.
WOMEN ARE NOT OBJECTS.
Women deserve the same respect and dignity you expect for yourself. See them not as objects to admire, but as a person to honor and celebrate. #BeAnINQUIRER
“It's a time to celebrate women who excel in their fields, who balance careers and motherhood, who build empires while staying grounded, who use influence responsibly.
Anne Curtis represents that.”
Basic respect for women involves recognizing their inherent dignity, equality, and agency as human beings, not just polite courtesy. It requires active listening, valuing their opinions, ensuring their safety from objectification or harassment. #womensmonth
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.
I voted to strike the remarks of Rep. Bong Suntay about Anne Curtis from the record of the House Justice Committee hearing, as I find them unacceptable and disturbing. This sexist and misogynistic statement should not be tolerated in any space in our society, especially in Congress and other government institutions.
Misogyny and discrimination proliferate in spaces where offenders are tolerated, or worse, applauded.
Women are not objects. Women are not a means of achieving other people’s desires. Women’s issues must not be trivialized or downplayed. Hindi ito biro.
Our public officials should lead the fight against such behavior, rather than enable the objectification of women.
Malinaw din dapat sa lahat: Ang paggalang sa kababaihan ay hindi lang ginagawa tuwing Buwan ng mga Kababaihan. Ito ang marapat na isinasabuhay sa isang lipunang disente, makatarungan at may pagkakapantay-pantay.
A congressman. A representative of the people. Paid by the people. A husband, a father with daughters.
Without the consciousness, knowledge or decency of how women should be talked about. Please keep your sick thoughts to yourself.
More than striking his comments off the record, he should apologize.
Women’s Month pa talaga. 🇺🇳
Krystal:
“They’re so disgusting”
“It’s because all boys tolerate it”
“Yung ang gusto namin for you guys to not objectify us”
AND I KNEW I STAN THE RIGHT WOMAN!! KRYSTAL MEJES, I HOPE YOU DESTROY THESE EGOISTIC MEN!
