Meanwhile, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile expressed his frustration with Vice Ganda over the weekend.
This came after certain actions that Enrile referred to as “salacious” involving the controversial TV host.
Sec. Enrile to Vice Ganda: You’re Disrespectful
“Salacious! That means it’s malicious!” Sec. Juan Ponce Enrile, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel said.
Enrile pointed out the issue of individuals in positions of power and influence who become indifferent to their actions and how they treat others.
He described the comedian as disrespectful.
“You only think about yourself. You think what you’re doing is great, but you’re disrespectful! You’re a disrespectful person!”
“Not only lacking in decency but abusive! Disrespectful!”
“It’s been like this for a long time,”Enrile added.
Enrile also urged parents whose children are influenced by Vice Ganda to denounce the comedian.
“Every family with children who are hurt or influenced negatively, they should denounce [Vice Ganda],” according to Enrile.
