Comedian and columnist Ogie Diaz called out Quezon City Rep. Bong Suntay after the lawmaker’s remarks about actress Anne Curtis drew widespread criticism during a House justice committee hearing on impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.

During the hearing, Suntay attempted to illustrate a point about accusations of sedition and political destabilization against Duterte. In doing so, he referenced seeing Curtis at a mall and imagining scenarios involving her.

“Alam niyo minsan nasa Shangri-La ako, nakita ko si Anne Curtis. Ang ganda-ganda pala niya. You know, may desire sa loob ko na nag-init talaga, at na-imagine ko na lang kung ano ang pwedeng mangyari. Pero siyempre hanggang imagination lang 'yun,” Suntay had said.

Diaz shared his reaction to the controversial statement on Facebook by reposting a story from Inquirer. In his caption, he wrote:

“Yung cong namin sa 4th district ng QC, sino kaya idol niya? Ba’t ganyan siya mag-imagine? Pang-inuman lang yung nai-imagine mo, hindi pang-lower house. Dapat magigiting kayo diyan. Puro facts. Hindi puro imagination.”

In his comment, Diaz emphasized that lawmakers should remain “magigiting” in their duties, focusing on facts rather than indulging in personal fantasies. His post highlighted the public expectation for elected officials to maintain decorum, particularly during formal hearings.

Suntay’s remarks were previously met with objections from fellow committee members, who moved to have his statements stricken from the official records. The lawmaker defended himself, insisting there was nothing se*xual or immoral in what he said, claiming it was merely his imagination.

The controversy unfolded amidst discussions on the sufficiency of multiple impeachment complaints against Duterte, with the committee deliberating the third and fourth complaints while previously dismissing one filed by the Makabayan Coalition.
