00:00Shamsi Tsupsupli resigns from the slate of Pasig candidate for Mayor Sara Diskaya on
00:05Monday evening, April 7. Tsupsupli is running for Pasig City First District Councillor.
00:10She says in a statement, quote, I choose to stand firmly by the values I've upheld throughout my
00:15life. Dignity, respect, accountability, and women empowerment. At this point, I believe the best
00:20way to stay true to these principles is to take a step back, reflect, and listen to allow space
00:25for clarity before taking the next steps. This after Ian Sia, a congressional candidate and
00:30member of Diskaya's team, Kayethis, faced backlash for joking that single mothers may sleep with him
00:35once a year, apparently as a favor to them. Sia was banned from political events for three days,
00:41but stayed with the Kayethis slate. Tsupsupli also criticizes Sia for his remarks. She says in a post
00:47that as a woman and a mother, she does not tolerate statements, whether made in jest or seriously,
00:52not diminish or disrespect women.
