Senator Tito Sotto’s controversial remarks made against the female winner of ‘Juan for All, All for Juan’ segment of the noontime variety show ‘Eat Bulaga’ promotes the culture of victim blaming and shaming, according to the Philippine Commission of Women (PCW).
In a statement released by PCW last Tuesday, July 19, the senator’s comment, as well as the reaction of the segment’s hosts Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola, were said to perpetuate the “culture of misogyny that justifies and normalizes abuses against women.”
