Sen. Tito Sotto and National Youth Commission chairperson Aiza Seguerra have patched things up days after a heated exchange over the government's plan to distribute condoms in the country's high schools.
Sotto said it was Seguerra who reached out and apologized over her remarks in a Facebook post.
"Una, nagkaroon ng miscommuniation siguro. Siguro mali ang intindi sa pronouncements na lumabas sa social media so that's what the reaction Aiza gave," Sotto said.
"She texted me. She apologized for her statement and for calling me out and she now understands that [she] should concentrate on the issue, not on the personality," he added.
Sotto said "all is well" between him and Seguerra, who started her showbiz career as a child performer in the noontime show Eat Bulaga.
Eat Bulaga is hosted by Sotto, along with his brother Vic, and comedian-actor-host Joey de Leon.
Last week, Seguerra called out Sotto for his opposition to the condoms distribution. She cited the increased incidence of HIV/AIDS cases and teenage pregnancy among the youth to express support for the government initiative.
Seguerra also dismissed Sotto’s argument that the Department of Health, which planned to distribute condoms in schools, could not impose on the conservative culture of Filipinos.
“We have an epidemic here, a youth epidemic. It is precisely because of this ‘sentiment of a conservative culture’ kaya lalong pataas ng pataas ang HIV,” Seguerra said.
Asked whether he was offended by Seguerra’s remarks, Sotto said then: “Hindi naman. Baka nakalimutan na nya kung saan siya galing siguro."
"Mas nanaig sa kanya yun pagka bagitong politiko," Sotto shot back then. —NB, GMA News
Sorry siguro for fighting against him pero not for her stand on the issue. Kasi mali naman talaga yung hanash ni Tito Sotto eh (ie na yung HIV cells daw eh nakakalusot sa condom). At pinipilit pa ni Tito Sotto na scientifically proven daw yun, pero hindi naman ma-sabi yung source nya.

Delete"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
yes ang hiv nga nakakalusot daw sa condom based sa studies. wag kang ano 12:57
DeleteText lang? di phone o personal? grabe ka Aiza wala kang takot ibash ang iba sa social media pero pag apologies hanggang text ka lang. Tama si Sotto, you'll never be half a man he is.
