The internet action star and
comedian Ramon Bautista made a joke about the women in Davao during the Kadayawan
festival held on August 16. Sarah Duterte posted on her FB account that the
comedian called the women in Davao as a shrimp, “hipon ang mga babae sa Davao”.
In tagalong terms, it means, ‘maganda katawan, tapon ulo’ or their bodies are
beautiful but they have an ugly face.
Mrs.
Duterte didn’t like the statement of Bautista regarding to the women in Davao. She convinced their councilors
that they should declare him as persona non grata, if not they would also disservice
all the women in their province. To outburst of emotion, she even cursed
Bautista by saying “P at F to you Ramon Bautista!” He was only a visitor, so
the comedian should respect the women in Davao.
The netizens also got the sympathy
of Mrs. Duterte. Others said that Bautista has no right to diss the physical
appearance of the women in Davao. It is not true that all women there is looks like
a shrimp because there are some many beautiful women there. According to them,
Bautista is just feeling. Yes, he is a popular celebrity, not by his looks, but
because of his humor. But this time his joke is not funny anymore.
We knew that this was only a joke,
but sometimes comedian don’t know how to put a punch line in a right way. This
time, it seems that Bautista is imitating the style of comedian in the comedy
bars who are always dissing the physical appearance of their guest. This is not
also a rap battle that you have a right to diss your opponents. Maybe Bautista
didn’t intend to hurt the feelings of the women of Davao but the damage had
already done. All he have to do is to make an apology and next time don’t make
a shrimp jokes.
