GMA-7 has released a statement regarding the old episode of Bubble Gang that had “rape jokes” in it. A video of the said jokes resurfaced on the internet after Vice Ganda’s “rape jokes” that offended Jessica Soho became controversial.
The Kapuso Network, meanwhile, said that they have already addressed the issue in the past, adding that they hope the video will not be used to divert the attention of the people from the real issue.
Posted on the network’s official Facebook page, here’s GMA-7’s statement regarding the Bubble Gang video:
Video clips of GMA Network’s Entertainment Program “Bubble Gang” have been circulating the past few days showing gags about rape. We would like to clarify that these video clips were aired several years back. In fact, a concerned viewer called the attention of the Network regarding this and the production team of Bubble Gang right away apologized to her and has made it a policy never to tackle the said topic in any of its episodes thereafter.
Bubble Gang has been a top-rating and award-winning program of GMA 7 for almost 18 years. The Network hopes that the program will not be used to divert the attention of the viewers, netizens and the general public from a recent event which has irresponsibly made a joke of this serious topic.
Watch the said video below.
