REPOST FROM GMA NEWS WEBSITE http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/310565/lifestyle/people/jessica-soho-on-vice-ganda-s-apology-i-hope-his-intentions-are-pure
In response to the public apology made by comedian Vice Ganda
on Wednesday regarding the "gang rape" joke he made at her expense, GMA
News anchor Jessica Soho issued the following statement:
"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."
