Anne Curtis broke her silence over Rep. Bong Suntay's controversial remarks, saying she does not accept his non-apology.

In a series of Facebook posts on March 7, Anne said she does, however, accept Sheila Suntay's apology, the wife of the congressman.

"I do not accept your non-apology. But also, I will not carry this as a personal wound. I do, however, accept your wife's apology," wrote Anne on social media, who just arrived from abroad on March 6.

The controversy stemmed from the congressman's remarks when he stated at a congressional hearing, “Alam niyo minsan, 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’ng puwedeng mangyari, pero siyempre hanggang imagination na lang ’yon. Pero ‘di naman siguro ako pwedeng kasuhan kung ano ang na-iimagine ko eh (You know, once, I was in Shangri-La, I saw Anne Curtis, she was so beautiful. You know, there was a desire inside me, it really got hot, I could just imagine what could happen, but of course, that was just imagination. But I guess I can't be sued for what I imagined.)"

Later, Rep. Suntay apologized to Curtis and others who were offended, saying he did not intend any malice.

“While may mga tao siguro that found the analogy in bad taste, doon sa mga na-offend, inuulit ko, walang malice doon sa pagnanais nating gawin doon sa statement na yun (While there may be people who found the analogy in bad taste, to those who were offended, I repeat, there is no malice in our desire to make that statement),”he told reporters on the sidelines of a committee hearing.

“Ayaw nating makasakit doon sa ating analogy. But kung may nasaktan, humihingi tayo ng dispensa. Kay Ms. Anne Curtis rin kung nasaktan siya sa sinabi, I repeat, there was no malice intended at ako ay humihingi ng dispensa sa kanya (We don't want to offend anyone with our analogy). But if someone is offended, we apologize. To Ms. Anne Curtis, too, if she was offended by what was said, I repeat, there was no malice intended, and I apologize to her,” the congressman added.

In a statement on March 5, Sheila said she and her children do not condone the analogy used by Suntay, which sparked criticism online and from fellow lawmakers.“I want to be unequivocally clear: My children and I do not agree with, and we do not condone, the analogy made by Bong,” she said.

Sheila also denied claims circulating on social media that she laughed and approved of the remarks.“The news circulating that I laughed and therefore approved of what was said is false, and I will not allow that narrative to stand unchallenged."

Addressing Anne and her family directly, Guevara expressed regret over the controversy. “To Anne Curtis and her family — I am deeply sorry. No woman should ever be spoken about that way, and I understand if words alone feel insufficient. Please know that my heart goes out to you, and I stand with you."
