Just this morning in It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda officially gave his statement regarding after receiving so many criticisms from his critics and those who was offended from his joke that pertains to Jessica Soho, a news broadcaster in GMA 7. Vice explained his side and informed the public that he approaches Soho early this morning via a phone call to ask forgiveness unfortunately the broadcaster didn’t respond properly.
Here’s the video of Vice Ganda airing his side regarding the said issue:
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.”
She added: “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.”
Soho is the host of the evening news program “State of the Nation” on GMA News TV and of “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” on GMA. The latter is the network’s top-rated program. She is also the Vice President for News Programs of GMA Network.
Lastly here’s the video of the segment of Vice Ganda in his i-Vice Ganda Mo Ako sa Araneta where he mentioned the name of Soho last May 17.
