– Sen Sotto apologized publicly even if the apology does not fully capture the extent of the gravity of what his “joke” implied.
– He apologized and I accepted his apology. That does not mean that I tolerate misogyny or anti-women comments or attacks vs solo parents.
– I thank Sen. Sotto for his support for my confirmation and that of Ka Paeng. He also supported Gina’s.
– I would like to thank everyone who expressed their condemnation of the statement of Sen Sotto & their support for me & for all solo parents
