On the recent interview of PEP.ph with Queen Of All Media Kris Aquino, she shared her thoughts about the sexual harassment issue in Philippine showbiz. The 46-year old actress-TV host she never experienced being harassed sexually.
“Hindi ko na-experience,” she started.
However, she made it clear that she could not speak for others who might have been subjected to this.
“I cannot speak for the others because I don’t know their experiences. But for most of the other girls—especially those I’ve gotten close to, even those who went through the talent searches and all—walang mga ganyang experience kasi may mga nanay na nakabantay. Kultura natin yung may ate, may tita, may mommy—yun talaga,” she explained.
“I’m not belittling what other people went through. But, you have to remember, those formative years and when I entered the business, my mom was President. And, by the time na natapos yung term niya, na-establish ko na yung sarili ko,” she added.
Sexual harassment is in focus today following the controversial exposé by Hollywood stars of their harrowing encounters with powerful Miramax executive Harvey Weinstein. The story first published in newyorker.com on October 10, 2017, prompted even Hollywood A-listers to come forward and speak up.
