<p>Several candidates of the administration under the banner of Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas weighed in on the controversial joke made by Pasig City congressional bet Christian “Ian” Sia.</p><p>Former Senator Panfilo &quot;Ping&quot; Lacson called the remark &quot;insensitive&quot;.</p><p>&quot;I think that&#x27;s very insensitive to say the least. Kung mangangampanya ka, ito &#x27;yung mga dapat mong iwasan na napaka-unnecessary, napaka insensitive. Actually, hindi kampanya, pang bawas boto,&quot; he said.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/4/4/pasig-candidate-apologizes-for-single-mom-joke-blames-uploader-of-viral-video-1119"><strong>Pasig candidate apologizes for single mom joke, blames uploader of viral video</strong></a></div><p>Makati Mayor Abbby Binay for her part reminded candidates to be careful of their words.</p><p>&quot;Bakit niyo ba pinapasikat pa siya? He&#x27;s probably doing that to become popular. I think he already made an apology &#x27;di ba. Ang sa&#x27;kin lang naman, maging mas maingat tayo. Siguro, I assume, bago siyang kandidato. Ngayon,mas gusto nagba-viral dahil sa social media. Maliit ang mundo kaya mas maging maingat sa mga binibitawang salita,&quot; Makati Mayor Abby Binay said. </p><p>ACT-CIS partylist Rep. Erwin Tulfo also criticized Sia&#x27;s remark as he underscored the importance of respect to women.</p><p> &quot;Hinay-hinay siguro sa mga kandidato, meron hong oras sa pagbibiro, pagjo-joke pero tignan natin. Hindi naman lahat ng bagay joke kagaya niyan medyo &#x27;di na maganda. So ang ma-advise ko lang siguro tignan muna natin kung makakasakit tayo ung biro natin,&quot; he said.</p><div> <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/4/4/comelec-to-take-action-over-candidate-s-siping-joke-0903"><strong>Comelec to take action over candidate’s &#x27;siping&#x27; joke </strong></a></div><p> &quot;Kaya nga po ang ulo natin mas mataas sa bibig natin dahil ipa-process muna ng utak natin saka natin ibaba ilabas sa bibig natin kasi makakasakit.
