Gabriela- CamSur wants Sotto rapped for single mom remark

0

The Camarines Sur chapter of the Gabriela Women’s Party wants Senator Tito Sotto to pay for his distasteful comment regarding single mothers.

Nelsy Rodriguez of Gabriela-CamSur, in an interview over Brigada News FM Naga Wednesday (May 10), said the group supports the filing of appropriate charges against the comedian-turned-politiko.

The current criticism against Sotto stemmed from his statement during a Commission on Appointments (CA) hearing at the Senate earlier this week wherein he described single mothers as “na-ano Lang” in street lingo.

Sotto specifically directed the comment to Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary-designate Judy Taguiwalo, who is single but has two daughters.

The senator has since apologized for his remark.

Still, Rodriguez said that Gabriela is now looking at drafting a law or resolution that would compel government officials like Sotto not to discriminate women.

Rodriguez further said that women should be respected.
