Anne Curtis nagsalita na sa pambabastos ni Suntay: I will be seeking legal advice
BINASAG na ng actress-TV host na si Anne Curtis ang kanyang katahimikan hinggil sa nag-viral na "nag-init" statement ng Quezon City 4th District Rep. Bong Suntay tungkol sa kanya.
Nitong Sabado, March 7, sa kanyang Instagram page, ibinahagi ng aktres ang saloobin tungkol sa mainit na usapin lalo na ng pambabastos sa kanya ng kongresista sa kabila ng pagdiriwang ngayong Marso ng Women's Month.
"Hi. It took me a while to speak up. I was focused on what mattered most, being reunited with my family, who were stranded in the Middle East and getting home safely," panimula ni Anne.
At ngayong nakauwi na siya at siguradong ligtas na ang pamilya, handa na siyang magsalita, hindi para mag-drama o kung anuman ngunit para tumindig hindi lang para sa kanya kundi para sa lahat ng kababaihan.
Baka Bet Mo: Kampo ni Anne Curtis umalma sa malisyosong pahayag ni Suntay: Unacceptable!
Pagpapatuloy ni Anne, "By now, many of you have heard the remarks made by Mr. Bong Suntay. A vulgar, sexualized analogy. My name disgustingly used without my consent, in the wrong context, and more importantly, without an ounce of respect."
Pag-amin niya, noong una ay nagulat siya. Nasaktan at siyempre nasaktan at nagalit sa kung gaano kabastos ang mga pahayag tungkol sa kanya.
"What happened to me isn't rare. It happens to women every day… in offices, in group chats, in rooms where men think no one is listening, or worse, in rooms where they know everyone is and simply don't care. What made this incident different is that it came from someone holding public office," lahad pa ni Anne.
Aniya, hindi na niya bibigyan pa ng oras si Suntay at dahil ginawa siyang halimbawa nito sa kanyang analogy ay gagawin rin niya itong halimbawa.
"You've become the poster boy of something much bigger: a culture that still thinks it's acceptable to talk about women this way.
Worse, one that tolerates it from our leaders.
As they say, misogyny dressed up as a joke is still misogyny," lahad ni Anne.
Hirit pa niya, "You hold a seat paid for by taxpayers. Women are taxpayers. I am a taxpayer. We are not props in your commentary."
Giit ni Anne, hindi niya tinatanggap ang non-apology statement ni Suntay ngunit ina-acknowledge niya ang paghingi ng tawad ng asawa nito.
"I do not accept your non-apology. But I also will not carry this as a personal wound. I do, however, accept your wife's apology.
Because as a wife and a mother myself, I know exactly what she must be feeling – that particular kind of embarrassment, that helplessness, that quiet grief of watching someone choose so poorly in public.
"To her, and to your children: this is not your shame. Please know that. And I hope everyone reading this extends them the same grace.
They did nothing wrong, and they deserve to be left out of it entirely," mensahe ni Anne sa mag-anak ni Suntay.
Ayon pa sa aktres, deserve niya at ng mga kababaihan na itrato ng tama at respetuhin.
"Now, what I will carry is the responsibility to say clearly, on behalf of every woman who has ever been spoken about this way: We deserve better. Not just now, while this topic is a hot issue, but EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Not just from Mr. Suntay. From all of it.
"From the casual sexism disguised as clever remarks. From public officials who forget who they serve. From a culture that still asks women to laugh it off, to not be so sensitive and to pick their battles.
"Every time a remark like this goes unchallenged, we lower the bar for what leadership looks like. Every time a woman is reduced to a cheap remark by someone holding a position of public trust, and nothing happens… we tell the next generation of women exactly where they stand. That is what I refuse to accept.
"Any leader who cannot respect women does not understand leadership at all. Respecting women, after all, is simply basic decency," mahabang litanya ni Anne.
Hiling ng aktres na sana'y hindi palagpasin ng ethics committee ang ginawa ng kongresista.
"To the ethics committee: I hope you do not let this pass. The integrity of public office depends on the standards it upholds," sey ni Anne.
Pagbibigay diin pa ng aktres, hindi niya palalagpasin ang mga pangyayari at dadahil niya sa legal na usapin ang mga nangyari.
"I will be seeking legal advice and will consider all my options looking forward. I cannot believe how many misogynists have revealed themselves the past couple of days.
"To everyone who used their voice to stand up for us and fight for our respect, both men and women, THANK YOU. and if anyone is wondering why Women's Month still matters – this is exactly why," pagtatapos ni Anne.
