Morality Check

      I am really disappointed with the issue involving Laguna Representative Benjamin Agarao. That was such a lame act by Mr. Agarao. And what really disappointed me more is Mr. Agarao’s statement saying “Walang malisya..” and “Depende yan sa appreciation..” I mean, seriously? H E L L O! Go get a morality check, Mr.! And with regards to your “depende yan sa appreciation” principle. Well I don’t think it’s applicable to everyone, because not everyone can appreciate that kind of act.
      Moreover, while those dancers were doing that act, weren’t you aware that you guys were in public and that there were young and innocent minds watching that act? You should have been considerate! We do not care whoever that Poncio Pilato gave you that so-called “gift”. We don’t care! It’s yours! However, that is a kind of gift that is not supposed to be in public and should have been in a private room, where you can practice your “depende yan sa appreciation” principle.

      And with regards to your statement “Kami dito (sa Laguna), iba ang kultura namin…” By saying this, you are simply implying that people of Laguna do appreciate this kind of act, as you claim that this is something “cultural” in Laguna. I am not from Laguna but I don’t think that people of Laguna can appreciate that kind of act.

      As a politician, you must set good examples for your constituents to follow. You must be the one to take care of your constituents – in every aspect and in any possible way.

      I couldn’t help but to get annoyed of the fact that you considered those women as gift, and that you had fun watching women depicting such lewd acts. Ugh! Where are your values? Your respect for women? Are these the values you want your constituents to learn from you?

      Personally, I think that this must fall under the Obscenity Law. According to the Section 3 of the Anti-Obscenity and Pornography Act of 2008, "Obscene" refers to anything that is indecent or offensive or contrary to good customs or religious beliefs, principles or doctrines, or tends to corrupt or deprave the human mind, or is calculated to excite impure thoughts or arouse prurient interest, or violates the proprieties of language and human behavior, regardless of the motive of the producer, printer, publisher, writer, importer, seller, distributor or exhibitor such as, but not limited to:
(1) Showing, depicting or describing sexual acts;
(2) Showing, depicting or describing human sexual organs or the
(3) Showing, depicting or describing completely nude human
(4) Describing erotic reactions, feelings or experiences on sexual female breasts; bodies; acts; or
(5) Performing live sexual acts of whatever form.
