Quezon City Fourth District Rep. Jesus “Bong” Suntay has apologized to Anne Curtis.
This came after a remark he made on March 3.
By a vote of 263-8-6, Congress also ordered Suntay to perform voluntary community service and undergo a gender sensitivity seminar, in addition to issuing an apology.
Suntay also received a reprimand after being found “guilty of disorderly behavior” by the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges.
4Ps Party-list Rep. JC Abalos prepared the report on his disorderly behavior.
The penalty imposed on Suntay is under Section 52(b)(2), Rule IX of the committee rules.
Suntay admitted in an interview with Karen Davila that he could have used a better analogy.
“That mistake has been made… there is a backlash. I deserve the backlash!” he said.
