During Tuesday's appearance on the TV show hosted by Boy Abunda, Jasmine expressed frustration over the continued prevalence of misogynistic behavior in 2026. She questioned why basic decency still appears difficult for some people to practice.

“Nag-aaral naman tayong lahat, ‘di ba? Pinalaki naman sana tayong mabuti ng mga magulang natin. And I hope, common sense na lang din kasi. Basic decency ba, Tito Boy,” Jasmine said.

The actress admitted that she often struggles to understand why some individuals deliberately post harmful remarks online.

“Minsan napapaisip ako, ‘Wow! Nag-effort ka talagang i-type ‘yun at press send na gusto mong iparating ‘yung masama mong iniisip sa amin.’ Hindi ko ma-gets eh. Kumausap ka na lang kaya ng psychologist or someone that can explain it better to you. Kung hindi mo pa siya mag-gets sa 2026, parang beh, lawakan pa natin ‘yung utak natin,” Jasmine said.

Her comments came months after she publicly called out Bong Suntay over remarks made about her sister, Anne Curtis, during a House committee hearing.

According to Jasmine, the issue went beyond a single celebrity controversy. She said it reflected a larger problem in which women are still often viewed and treated primarily based on their physical appearance, particularly in environments dominated by powerful men.

Meanwhile, another actress, Klea Pineda opened up about a threatening message she received online containing a s*xual assault threat. The actress admitted that social media negativity has become something she actively avoids.
