Opposition lawmaker Risa Hontiveros got criticized by a
netizen after the ceremonial class photo among legislators noting her choice of
barong-inspired dress.
“Dear Risa Hontiveros, Dress appropriately. There’s a place
and time to dress like a thirsty slut and a senator of the republic. #CoverUp
#SONA2019,” netizen Carlo Malonzo tweeted
In the said photo, Hontiveros was seated in front, crossed legs,
making her outfit look shorter and slit tighter – her thigh captured by the
camera.
Hontiveros, on the other hand, fires back saying it’s not
the person’s place to dictate what women should wear.
"Unang araw pa lang ng 18th Congress may
ganito na agad (It's only the first day of the 18th Congress but I'm
getting this already). Stop telling women how to dress," she said in
response on Facebook
Hontiveros authored the Republic Act 11213 or the Safe
Spaces Act, or commonly called anti-bastos law. It was signed by President
Rodrigo Duterte on April 12.
With the said law, sexist remarks, cat-calling, and other forms
of gender-based harassment in the streets, other public areas, in government
offices, in workplaces and schools, and online will be
penalized.

The comment against Hontiveros. Women do dress up PERO IBAGAY SA OKASYON. Hindi komo nakabarong ka okay na? Miss Hontivirus ibagay ang tabas sa okasyon. Ang mataas na slit ay isinusuot sa mga okasyon na may inuman at naghahanap ng lalaki.
