Jessica Soho to Vice Ganda: Rape is not a joke and should never be material for a comedy concert

President for News Programs of GMA Network and GMA News Anchor Jessica Soho has reacted to a joke made by comedian Vice Ganda in his recent stint in "I-Vice Ganda Mo Ako sa Araneta" concert last May 17.


Vice Ganda joked that if Soho were a sexy star in a movie it would be entitled “Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Sobra” and whenever Soho would step on a weighing scale the machine would protest and say, "One at a time, one at a time."

But the thing that made netizens and other GMA Anchors more mad and upset is that Vice Ganda made fun of Soho in a "Gang Rape" scenario.

Arnold Clavio Reacted

“Papatulan ko na siya kasi pag di natin siya sinita, hindi natin alam sino pa’ng isusunod niyang biktimahin. Si Nancy Binay noon, tapos si Jessica Soho,”Clavio on his daily morning radio show on DZBB.

“Bakit mo binibiktima ang mga taong seryoso sa trabaho nila? Huwag mo silang kasangkapanin para lang makapagpagpatawa. Bakit hindi taga-diyan sa inyo ang gawin mong subject ng jokes mo? Baki hindi taga-ABS?" he added.

Jessica Soho Speaks Out

In a statement sent to GMA News Online on Tuesday, Soho said: "Rape is not a joke and should never be material for a comedy concert."

"I thank all those who shared my hurt and expressed their support, but this should not be about me but about rape victims who suffer tremendously from this terrible crime. The horrors they go through are unspeakable and should never be taken lightly, especially by way of a cruel joke."

Hindi pa talaga handa ang pinas sa mga ganitong klaseng joke, kasi sa ibang bansa mas grabe pa. This is not to be taken seriously kaya nga joke diba?

Hmm. As what Arnold Clavio was saying. "Bakit hindi taga-inyo dyan ang gawin mong subj? Dyan sa abs?". For the 10000000th time, hindi mo kasi yata alam ang abs? Si Ryan bang, jugz, yung asst. nya yatang bakla. Niloloko nya yung mga yun. Mas malala pa na joke kesa sa Soho na yan. Eh bakit hindi padin nirereklamo si vice? Eh sa show nga nya na "Gandang gabi vice", bakit hindi sya nirereklamo na ishut down yung tv show nya? Eh linggo linggo, meron syang nababara na audience nya. Why o why? Dahil ba mas mature magisip ang abs kesa sa gma? Parang kasi ang ginagawa ng gma ay ipinapakita nila ay mga immature sila mag-isip. Be mature enough. Tss tss.

Oo nga! At parang pinapakita ng gma na MASYADO SILANG BORING. At ang abs naman ay PURO MGA MASASAYA/ ENERGETIC NA TAO. Kaya pala laging mas mataas ang ratings ng abs kesa sa gma. Dahil hindi sila BORING at araw araw nila napapasaya ang mga tao! At kaya bigla din sumikat ang gma, dahil lang kay Ryzza, dahil adorable and funny din syang tao.
