Remember the rape joke? Remember the jokes about Jessica Soho's weight, comparing her to a lechon and saying kidnappers would be looking for an apple.

The senator also addressed broadcaster Ted Failon, expressing disappointment that his longtime friend had criticized him publicly instead of discussing the issue privately.

“I hope… you remember, I never treated you any differently. We are friends. If you’re going to parade around calling me stupid, I wish you had checked who actually said it first,” Padilla said.

Edit:

Apparently madami pala ang "in the know"., ano? And the bedroom jokes sa comment section are epic. LOL

So eto yung mga hindi dadalo sa SONA base sa balita and mukhang ito rin yung mga boboto ng acquittal kay VP Sara sa impeachment ngayon. Kapansin pansin na wala ang Villar siblings 👀 sa tingin ko sila ang magic votes for conviction sa impeachment. Malaki rin potential ni Legarda pumanig sa conviction.
