During Monday’s episode of ‘It’s Showtime,’ host Vice Ganda delved into the concept of grooming, earning applause from viewers for shedding light on the matter.
The discussion arose in the context of the ‘EXpecially For You’ segment, where DJ, one of the subjects of the featured ex-couple narrative, had pursued Miyuki when she was 17 years old.
Vice Ganda emphasized that grooming cannot be solely defined by an age gap.
“Masasabi mo siyang grooming ‘di lang sa edad … hindi porket malayo edad niyo, grooming,” they explained.
Consulting experts, Vice Ganda highlighted that a relationship may be classified as grooming if it involves abuse, manipulation, or exploitation.
The clarification was made regarding Miyuki and DJ’s situation, with Vice Ganda stating, “Sabi po ng mga psychologists na pinag-anuhan namin, walang grooming sa kanila. Baka may mabasa kayo at least malinaw sa kanila, hindi siya grooming.”
Vice Ganda’s insights garnered appreciation from viewers, who applauded their effort to not only entertain but also provide valuable perspectives, particularly on sensitive topics like grooming.
