VIDEO and TRANSCRIPT OF THE VICE GANDA JESSICA SOHO JOKE VERSION

I've never watched Vice Ganda shows but his concert comment/joke regarding Jessica Soho is mean and ugly and its not funny. Where is our decency? We cannot make a cruel joke at the expense of fat people, rape victims and referencing to words like "bold star" or "gang rape". What comes out of our mouth is surely what we have in mind.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE JESSICA SOHO JOKE VERSION

“Imagine-in n’yo kung pa’no kaya kung nag-bold na rin si Jessica Soho. Ang launching n’yang pelikula ay ‘Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Sobra.’ Napanaginipan ko nga rin ‘yan si ano e, si Jessica Soho nagpapatimbang. Nakakatawa nung nagpatimbang kami umakyat si Jessica Soho sa weighing scale. Pag-akyat ni Jessica Soho tumunog ang weighing scale: ‘One at a time. One at a time. One at a time.’ So bumaba ulit si Jessica Soho, nagalit.”

“Umakyat ulit ng weighing scale si Jessica Soho. Tumunog ang weighing scale: ‘Please don’t play with the machine. Don’t play with the machine. One at a time. I told you one at a time. Don’t play with the machine.’ Nagalit si Jessica Soho.”

“Last try na talaga. So umakyat ulit si Jessica Soho sa weighing scale. Tumunog ang weighing scale: ‘You weight 180 per kilo.’ So ayaw na n’yang magpatimbang ulit.”

“Ang hirap nga lang kung si Jessica Soho magbu-bold. Kailangan gang rape lagi. Sasabihin nung rapist: ‘Ipasok ang lechon!’ Ssabihin naman ni Jessica: E, nasa’n ang apple?’”

“Nakakatawa nga ‘yan, e. Mero’n daw boyfriend dati si Jessica. Narinig ko lang naman sa mga hindi mapagkakatiwalaan. Ninakaw daw nung boyfriend yung PANTY ni Jessica. Tapos pinalabahan. Nung dinala sa laundry ang tsinekan: COMFORTER”

In a statement sent to GMA News Online on Tuesday, Soho said: "Rape is not a joke and should never be material for a comedy concert."

She added: "I thank all those who shared my hurt and expressed their support, but this should not be about me but about rape victims who suffer tremendously from this terrible crime. The horrors they go through are unspeakable and should never be taken lightly, especially by way of a cruel joke."

LET US SEE GOOD IN OTHERS

Merong isang Japanese philosopher  who used to meet the people and teach them nung mga lessons of VIRTUE and Uprightness na nakukuha niya sa pagmamasid ng mga flowers at mga halaman na tumutubo ng abundantly sa Japan.

Isang umaga, pagkatapos ng kanyang lecture, ang matandang philosopher ay sinabihan ng isang workman;

"mamaya po pagbalik niyo galing sa inyong paglalakad, pwede po bang pakidalhan ako ng rose para mapag-aralan ko ang kanyang petals and see the lessons na binigay niyo kagabi?"

"Sige dadalhan kita ng rose", pangako ng Philosopher.

"Pakidalhan na din po ako ng hawthorn twig ng maipagpatuloy ko ang pag-aaral ko sa bagay na yan?" sambit ng pangalawa.

"Sige dadalhan kita ng hawthorn twig", sagot ng Philosopher.

"Ako din po, pakidalhan na rin ako ng lily ng mapag-aralan ko ang lesson about purity" pahabol ng pangatlo. 

"Magdadala ako ng lily" sabi ng Philosopher.

After working, nag-aabang na ang tatlo sa gate para imemeet ang Philosopher.

Eventually yung summary ng story is that yung philosopher binigyan ng rose, hawthorn twig at lily each one according to their request and after nareceive nila, nagcomment kaagad ng mga ganito;

"oh, ito ang thorn sa stem ng aking rose"

"ito ang patay na dahon na nasama sa mga green na dahon ng hawthorn twigs"

"ito ang dirt or lupa sa aking lily"

which lead to the philosopher's act na kunin ang mga thorns sa stem ng rose at binigay sa nagsabi, tinanggal ang dahon na patay at bingay din sa nagsabi, and kinuha ang mga dirt sa roots ng lily at binigay sa nagsabi and concluded.

"Well, each of you has what

attracted him first. I left the thorn on the rose purposely, the dead leaf

on the hawthorn twig, and the dirt on the lily. Each of these attracted you

first. You may keep them now, and I will keep the rose, the twig, and the

lily for the beauty I see in them."

What do we see first to people? What do we see to those whom we meet 

along the way?

Our tendency is to judge people on the way they look, they act,  

or conduct their lives, 

but do we see the reason or the 'big picture' why?

God knows each of us. God has a plan for each, different from each other. 

We all have the same goal - to come back and live with Him. 

But we have different roads to take, purposes to accomplish, 

and in general, life to live.

I cannot compare they way I live with you since we come 

from different backgrounds and circumstances. 

But there is a common thread that binds us together. 

We all have faith in one God, and He loves us.

We all have the ability to make a difference, 

touching other's lives for good.
