Jasmine Curtis-Smith has taken to social media to speak out for her sister, Anne Curtis , following the Quezon City 4th district Representative Bong Suntay's sexual remark about the actress. During the House Committee on Justice's Tuesday deliberations, the Congressman defended Vice President Sara Duterte's previous remark about “imagining” harming President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by drawing a comparison to his own experience. He said, "Alam mo, minsan, nasa Shangri-la ako, nakita ko si Anne Curtis, ang ganda-ganda pala niya. You know, may desire sa loob ko na nag-init talaga. Na-imagine ko na lang kung ano ang pwedeng mangyari. Pero syempre, hanggang imagination na lang 'yon. Hindi naman siguro ako pwedeng kasuhan dahil kung anu-ano 'yong na-imagine ko." Netizens, celebrities, and personalities, including the Stars on the Floor 2026 celebrity dance star, quickly reacted to the remark, saying it objectified women. In a Facebook post, Jasmine called out the Congressman's remark and defended all women on behalf of this form of objectification. “This moment is not about one female celebrity. It is about how ALL WOMEN, regardless of profession, continue to be reduced to bodies in spaces dominated by men in power,” she firmly said. “When a congressman publicly narrates his 'desire' and imagination about a woman he once saw [or dreams he saw, idk his statements keep changing], it reinforces a culture that treats women as consumable, as spectacle, as fantasy, as objects for commentary rather than as whole human beings with agency, intellect, and autonomy,” she added. She also called out those in public office, saying they should uphold a sense of “responsibility,” and that the government should serve as an example of a space where women are discussed for their “contributions, their ideas, and their leadership.” “We cannot continue excusing this as'just being honest' or 'just a compliment.' It is neither,” she explained. She further emphasized that “respect is not complicated.” “If we want safer environments for our daughters, nieces, and future leaders, accountability must begin with those elected to represent us,” she urged. In a separate post on X, Jasmine also reacted to Suntay's explanation, saying: "Anne Curtis should take my remark as a compliment." The actress wrote: "A COMPLIMENT??? ANG DAMI KO GUSTONG SABIHIN! KADIRI PO KAYO." A COMPLIMENT??? ANG DAMI KO GUSTONG SABIHIN! KADIRI PO KAYO. https://t.co/tAm3PyOIBw — Jasmine Curtis-Smith (@jascurtissmith) March 3, 2026 RELATED GALLERY: Here are some celebrities who victims of sexual harassment
