Veteran Kapuso broadcast journalist Jessica Soho acknowledged the public apology of controversial comedian Vice Ganda over a sketch in his recent concert after he apologized on the noontime show “It’s Showtime.”
Through Jessica’s TV program she was quoted as saying that “I acknowledge the public apology given by Vice Ganda, I sincerely hope and pray that this was done with the purest intentions and determination to put this issue behind us,” Soho said in a statement issued on Wednesday afternoon.
The 37-year-old Vice Ganda revealed on Wednesday that he wanted to personally apologize to Soho and he called on the phone during the morning just to say sorry. Although the two have not talked long enough but Vice (–foul word(s) removed–)ured that it was Jessica whom he talked to, which the broadcaster acknowledges as well.
Jessica Soho confirmed she had a phone conversation with the comedian, but she stated that she was not feeling well during that time and clearly remembered that she thanked Vice Ganda for his call.
Jessica Soho adds further that, “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 cl(–foul word(s) removed–), gender — and even one’s weight,” she added in the statement. “Once again, I thank everyone who gave their support.” Jessica Soho stated.
