From Hindi porke't pangit ka matatakot mo ko Facebook Page. Ganito pinag-tripan ni Vice Ganda ang Vice President for News and Public Affairs ng GMA na si Jessica Soho sa kanyang concert sa Araneta. Hindi natuwa ang mga kasamahan ni Ms. Jessica sa GMA News dahil kahit kailan, hindi nakakatuwa at hindi dapat ginagawang biro ang salitang "RAPE".. GMA News anchor Jessica Soho has reacted to a joke made by comedian Vice Ganda about the popular media personality and an imagined rape scenario, which has earned criticism from many sectors. In a statement, 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." Anong masasabi nyo?
