On her social media page, DJ Chacha posted a clip from an episode of the podcast Lecheng Pag-ibig To, which she hosts alongside Sam YG. In the clip, DJ Chacha expressed her personal view on the matter, stressing that inappropriate behavior should be attributed to the person committing it rather than to a woman’s attire.

“Sa akin lang ‘to—hindi ko problema kung nasa beach ako at nagsuot ako ng one-piece or two-piece, tapos may nambastos sa akin. Hindi ko ‘yon problema, problema ‘yon ng bastos.”

DJ Chacha went on to explain that context also matters when judging clothing choices, pointing out that what may be appropriate in one setting could be different in another.

“Dahil unang-una sa lahat, nasa beach ako. Kung nag-one-piece or two-piece ako sa loob ng simbahan, siguro i-condemn n’yo ako.”

DJ Chacha further emphasized that harassment can happen regardless of how conservatively a woman dresses, noting that even women who are fully covered can still experience inappropriate behavior.

“Sometimes, sobrang ayos ng suot ng babae. Nagko-commute, balot na balot. May mga nakikita tayong videos—grabe ‘yung ginagawa ng ibang guys.”

DJ Chacha concluded by stressing that the issue lies not in women’s clothing but in the mindset of people who choose to disrespect them.

“I don’t think ang problema ay nasa suot namin. Ang problema ay nasa utak ng mga taong nakakakita sa mga babae.”

Alongside the video clip, DJ Chacha also shared a caption reflecting on the broader message, especially in line with the observance of Women's Month.
