MANILA — Palace Press Secretary Claire Castro stated that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. described offensive comments, such as lewd remarks during campaign sorties, as “unacceptable.”
“Sinabi po niya at tinanong po natin siya kanina kung ano ang kaniyang mensahe, iyon daw po ay unacceptable,” Castro said.
Castro criticized statements made about women during one of the campaign sorties of a political candidate.
“Paano nga ba ang ganitong klaseng pananalita noon ay pinapalakpakan? Parang ipinagbubunyi ang mga kandidato, ang mga lider na nagsasalita nang walang karespe-respeto, lalung-lalo na sa mga kababaihan. Ipinagmamalaki at ginagawang katatawanan, ginagawang joke ang pambababae ng mga kalalakihan. Ginagawa ring isyu at katatawanan ang mga rape na sitwasyon,” Castro said.
Pasig congressional candidate Atty. Christian Sia made sexist remarks against single mothers during a campaign sortie.
The Commission on Elections and Supreme Court previously issued a show-cause order to Sia.
