Randam namin ang gigil at galit ng kapatid ni Anne Curtis-Smith na si Jasmine Curtis-Smith sa komento ni Cong. Bong Suntay, representante ng ika-apat na Distrito ng Lungsod Quezon, sa ginanap na pagdinig ng House Committee on Justice sa Kongreso para sa impeachment complaint laban kay Bise-Presidente Sara Duterte.
Nagbigay ng hindi magandang komento si Suntay tungkol kay Anne.
Ito ang nag-viral na pahayag, “Minsan, nasa Shangri-La ako, nakita ko si Anne Curtis. Ang ganda-ganda pala n’ya. You know, may desire sa loob ko na nag-init talaga at na-imagine ko na lang kung ano ang puwedeng mangyari. Pero s’yempre, hanggang imagination lang ‘yun.”
Pambabastos ang dating kay Jasmine para sa kanyang Ate Anne ng mga pahayag ng kongresista kaya naman sunud-sunod ang post niya sa kanyang X (dating Twitter) account kagabi na ini-repost din ng mga netizens at ng ibang personalidad.
Aniya, “‘Yung init ng ulo at dugo ko. Ang hirap matulog, ha?”
Inayunan din ni Jasmine ang posts ng mga netizens sa ginawang pambabastos ng kongresista at ini-repost niya ang payo sa kanya na “Please consider filing an ethics complaint as well as a criminal complaint for Qualified Sexual Harassment Online and in Public Spaces or Sec. 15 of the Bawal Bastos Law. Teach him a lesson. Do not accept apologies. Laban.”
Sa panayam naman kay Congressman Bong Suntay ng One News PH ay sinabi niyang, “Anne Curtis should take my remark as a compliment.”
Tweet ni Jasmine, “A compliment? Ang dami ko gustong sabihin. Kadiri po kayo.”
Hirit pa ng Kapuso actress, “Bakit tumatawa ang mga lalaking hosts sa pagtatanong nila? Wala kayong iniba kay Bong Suntay. What a disgusting man. A father. A husband.”
Ini-repost ni Jasmine ang komento ni TV Patrol anchor Karen Davila, “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.”
Dagdag pa, “Respectfully, Bong Suntay, what on earth? Bakit ganu’n ang thinking? Happy National Women’s Month.”
May mahabang post din si Jasmine sa kanyang Facebook (FB) account kagabi tungkol sa mga kababaihan.
Pahayag pa niya, “This moment is not about one female celebrity. It is about how all women, regardless of profession, continue to be reduced to bodies in spaces dominated by men in power.
“When a congressman publicly narrates his desire and imagination about a woman he once saw, or dreams he saw, (idk his statements keep changing), it reinforces a culture that treats women as consumable, as spectacle, as fantasy, as objects for commentary rather than as whole human beings with agency, intellect, and autonomy.
“Public office carries with it the responsibility to elevate discourse, not diminish it. The halls of government should be spaces where women are discussed for their contributions, their ideas, and their leadership, not as imagined scenarios.
“We cannot continue excusing this as just being honest or just a compliment. It is neither.
“Respect is not complicated. If we want safer environments for our daughters, nieces, and future leaders, accountability must begin with those elected to represent us.”
Samantala, ipinag-uutos ni Quezon City (QC) Mayor Joy Belmonte na mag-public apology si Ginoong Bong Suntay.
Sa inilabas na official statement ni Mayor Joy kagabi, “I urge Congressman Bong Suntay to apologize for the inappropriate remarks that he made at a recent House committee hearing.
“His words directly contradict the spirit of empowerment that we have worked hard to build here in Quezon City. Over the years, we have embraced the difficult work of establishing protections for women, constantly striving to honor their rights by creating safe spaces and opportunities for them.
“In this context, it is truly disappointing to witness Congressman Suntay’s casual display of objectification on Women’s Month no less. But what makes this incident especially troubling is the fact that, as a former member of our City Council, he was part of the body that passed our Gender and Development Code.
“Moreover, he was the majority floor leader of the City Council when we passed the Bawal Bastos Ordinance, which declares that lewd, malicious and demeaning remarks and acts have no place in public life. Quezon City instituted this policy in 2016, ahead of the national Safe Spaces Act.
“Our policies are a declaration of our city’s values, of what we stand for and what we refuse to tolerate. We expect our elected officials to be the first to live by them.
“Thus, it is clear to me: We must not hesitate to push back against any act that undermines the dignity of our women. We must continue to stand for their safety, dignity and equality, without exception and without compromise.
“We call on Congressman Suntay to take full accountability for his remarks, issue a proper
apology and conduct himself with the dignity that his office and our city demand. Our people deserve no less.”
Sundin naman kaya ito? Abangan!
Samantala, walang nakuhang simpatya o kakampi si Cong. Bong Suntay sa offensive comment niya kay It’s Showtime (IS) TV host-actress Anne Curtis, kaya kahit pinaninindigan niya ang kanyang statement na wala naman daw malisya,
humingi na rin siya ng public apology.
“Sinabi ko kay Anne, that analogy was not meant maliciously. It was an analogy meant for the pagdinig dito. It might have been in bad taste for some but I apologize kung may mga sensitivities na tinamaan. That was not my intention.
“The intention was to make a point that usually, oftentimes, statements are taken out of context and conclusions are made. ‘Yun ‘yung unang punto.
“Ang pangalawang punto ko, desires and imagination cannot be made an impeachable offense on the thing dito sa impeachment proceeding. Para kasing kailangan ng overact. Desires and imagination is also not a criminal offense. ‘Yun ‘yung analogy ko rin. In fact, ulitin ko, it was a fictitious situation.
“‘Di ko pa nga nakikita si Anne in person. Napanood ko lang sa TV. Nagandahan talaga ako. Making that analogy, well, I regret na may nasaktan, but I don’t regret making that analogy.”
Teka lang, ‘di ba’t sa unang statement ni Cong. Suntay, sabi niya ay nakita niya si Anne sa Shangri-La kaya ‘nag-init’ siya? Pero bakit ngayon, sinasabi niyang hindi pa niya nakikita nang personal si Anne?
Ano ba talaga, Cong. Bong Suntay?
