Nothing unites Pinoys quite like a controversial Tito Sotto moment. Time and again, the senator and Eat Bulaga host pissed off pretty much everyone, from "victim shaming" comments to indie films in the MMFF, blatant plagiarism, dated views on reproductive health, promising an AlDub appearance in exchange for election votes, and of course Pepsi Paloma.
So it's no surprise that his latest remarks on single moms has a lot of people fired up, including local celebrities. Here are the stars who slammed the senator's distasteful comments...and some of them even have direct ties to him.
Claudine Barretto, who actually made the senator her wedding sponsor.
Sotto making fun of single parents this time? I mean, how many uneducated statements can you make before you actually learn to shut up.

Tito (tē-taw) n. Creepy guy you see at reunions. Stares at your legs. Cracks a misogynistic "joke." The only one drinking beer at 10am.

I have high respects for my fellow solo parents by choice or by force. Mahirap dahil mag-isa, pero lahat kinakaya dahil sa love sa anak.â¤ï¸
