Jessica Soho Releases Another Statement: ‘I acknowledge the public apology of Vice Ganda’

After she released a statement on Tuesday admitting that she was hurt by the controversial "joke" of Vice Ganda (CLICK HERE FOR RELATED ARTICLE), Jessica Soho has released another statement earlier today following the comedian's public apology on the ABS-CBN noontime show "It's Showtime."

Jessica Soho

In a form of a statement for the press, GMA’s Vice President for News and Public Affairs acknowledged Vice Ganda’s public apology:

“I acknowledge the public apology given by Vice Ganda, by way of his TV program. I sincerely hope and pray that this was done with the purest intentions and determination to put this issue behind us.

Just to clarify certain points about my phone conversation with him – his call came without warning as his number was not programmed in my phone directory. I told him I wasn’t feeling well and I wasn’t sure I was ready to talk to him. But I clearly remember thanking him for his call.

As I’ve said, this is not about me, but about the issue of rape not being an appropriate subject matter for comedy. Rape transcends age, economic class, gender — and even one’s weight.

Once again, I thank everyone who gave their support.”

    I understand if you had accepted the apology but our group Born free coalition had already filed a case against Vice ganda to serve as a lesson for him, filed before the Human Rights Commission to defend the dignity of each and everyone rights of a woman .

  2. KAPAMILYA NYO KAYA ANG MA RAPE TAPOS GAWING SUBJECT OF JOKE..MATUTUWA KAYA KAYO??WELL SA REACTION NYO PA LANG ALAM NA ANG SAGOT..KAWAWA NAMAN ANG PAMILYA NIYO KUNG SILA ANG MA RAPE..DAHIL SIGURADONG PATI KAYO GAWIN SILANG KA TAWA2X..SANA LANG DI MANGYARI..SANG NGA.. GB

  3. guys tumbukin nati.. kanyang kuro kanyang pagmamatuwid

  4. Bakit kaya may mga taong walang pakundangan magsalita ng di maganda sa kapuwa. They said pinapalaki ang issue pero basahin mo naman mga mensahe nila. Sobra rin kung manlait ng kapuwa. Kaya lahat ng issue walang kapupuntahan dahil sa negativity ng iba. Think positive na lang sana at wag ng mag comment ng di maganda sa kapuwa.

    Oi KOREAN.. Kore-korean kapa diyan

    Kung mkapagsalita ka namang makitid ang utak ni Ms. Jessica. Hello! She wouldn’t be able to reach her success in NEWS kung makitid ang pag-iisip niyan. Ikaw ang makitid makapagsalita ka kala mo naman nasukat mo na buo mong kakayahan. If I know kakapirangkot lang yan dahil di mo muna inisip ang binitawan mong salita. There’s a certain “BLOOD LIFE” in NEWS compare to MALAKALYENG JOKES

  7. both camps have acknowedged the mistake and apology. so taba na. este, tama na.

  8. NAKAHANAP NA SI VICE KABAYO NG KATAPAT…SIMULA NA ANG KANYANG PAGLAOS! IYAN ANG NAPAPALA NG MAG BASTOS AT WALANG MODO.

  9. Jessica Shoho accepted the apology with condition. Di nalang tanggapin ang paunhin ng walang sinasabi. Besides, her thoughts are scattered. Why would she say that the issue is not pertaining to her and acknowledge the apology? Is she a rape victim to accept it on their behalf.

    “The call came without warning” but the person on the other line introduced himself as Vice Ganda.

    She wasn’t feeling well because of her weight. That’s a wake up call. You need to be reminded by other people sometimes for you to realize things.

    At the end of the day, we are still spectators watching, listening, giving our thoughts. It’s still up to these 2 people if they’re sincere or not.

  10. bottomline is OFFENSIVE and joke. It was tasteless, crass, and vulgar, tulad na lang ng Vice Ganda na yan. Buti nga sa kanya, iniisip niya siguro na kaya niyang gawing katawa-tawa lahat ng tao, kaya nung nag react, nawalana siya ng malay.

    Siya nga nung nilait ni Tado ang mga bakla super react siya, natural lang na mag react din si Miss Jessica Soho. Para sa taong walang ibang ginawa kundi i build ang credibility niya as a public figure, she does not deserve that kind of disrespect.

    Hindi naman kasi si Jessica Soho ang REAL issue dito eh. It’s the fact that Vice used a sensitive issue AND physical discrimination as a joke.
