Nine Women Sue Bong Suntay Over ‘Lewd’ Remarks About Anne Curtis Nine women, including members of the World March of Women, have filed a formal complaint against Quezon City Representative Bong Suntay, accusing him of violating multiple laws through his recent remarks about actress and television host Anne Curtis. The complaint, submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman, alleges that Suntay’s statements during a House committee session on impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte breached several legal frameworks, including Republic Act No. 11313, the Safe Spaces Act, Republic Act No. 9710, the Magna Carta of Women, and Republic Act No. 6713, the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. The complainants also raised concerns about his potential violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA), which governs the ethical conduct of Filipino lawyers. The complaint centers on Suntay’s remarks, which were described as a “declaration of predatory desire” by a government agency. The women argue that his comments, which included lewd and objectifying references to Anne Curtis, constitute violations of the Safe Spaces Act. This law prohibits actions such as cursing, wolf-whistling, catcalling, leering, and misogynistic slurs, all of which the complainants claim Suntay engaged in. They also emphasized that the Magna Carta of Women mandates government officials to protect women from discrimination and uphold their rights, which Suntay allegedly failed to do. Suntay, a lawyer, had previously apologized for his remarks, stating he was sorry “if some people were offended.#world_march_of_women #bong_suntay #anne_curtis #office_of_ombudsman #house_ethics_committee
