00:00Comelec is explaining that a candidate in Pasig City,
00:04after what he said,
00:05that he can be kicked by solo parents.
00:09The candidate asked for permission and said,
00:12he's just kidding.
00:14Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:20There are people who were surprised by what a candidate
00:23who is running for congressman while campaigning in Pasig City said.
00:27This is my message to Pasig's solo parents.
00:31Sometimes, in a year,
00:33the solo parents of women who are still regulating,
00:39it's clear, who are still regulating,
00:41and who are sad,
00:43sometimes in a year,
00:45you can come to me.
00:47The permission of Atty. Christian Sia
00:49reached the Commission on Elections or Comelec.
00:52That's why a Shokos order was issued by the Comelec Task Force SAFE.
00:57It was explained within three days
01:00why he should not be slapped
01:02with a complaint of election offense
01:04and petition for disqualification.
01:06According to Comelec,
01:08this violation is possible
01:10in the resolution of Comelec against discrimination.
01:13This provision is particular
01:15regarding discrimination against women
01:18and gender-based harassment.
01:20We will not allow
01:22that there are violations in our campaign.
01:25It's not funny to joke like that
01:27because if the Comelec did nothing,
01:29it's like we don't have an account.
01:31To all other candidates,
01:33let's just do our campaign right.
01:36Fair to everyone.
01:38Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian
01:42also emphasized what Sia said.
01:44You know, the solo parents,
01:46their experience is deep.
01:48So if he's just going to make a joke
01:51about the experiences of solo parents,
01:53if in his eyes,
01:55the life of solo parents can be a punchline,
01:59that's wrong for us.
02:01In fact, it's annoying and offensive.
02:04It destroys sensibility,
02:06especially for a person
02:08who aspires to run
02:10in a very high position.
02:12It's really not funny.
02:14It's not done in good taste at all.
02:17Sia faced the media to explain.
02:20He said,
02:21what he said was just a joke.
02:23Why did he say he was in pain,
02:25that's why he asked for forgiveness.
02:28I'm sorry that my words and mistakes
02:32went too far.
02:34I chose a joke
02:36to make a political focus laugh.
02:39I promise that it won't happen again.
02:42And I hope
02:45that God will give us a chance.
02:48For GMA Integrated News,
02:50Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
