Quezon City Fourth District Rep. Bong Suntay has yet to publicly issue the apology ordered by the House of Representatives following its finding that his remarks about actress Anne Curtis constituted disorderly behavior and conduct unbecoming of a member of Congress.

The House, voting 263-8-6 on June 3, directed Suntay to publicly apologize to Curtis and all women, undergo a gender sensitivity seminar, render voluntary community service, and accept a reprimand following an investigation by the Committee on Ethics and Privileges.

As of June 5, no public apology from the lawmaker has been released.

The directive stemmed from comments Suntay made during a March 3 hearing of the House Committee on Justice, where he referenced Curtis while discussing the difference between thoughts and actions. The remarks sparked widespread criticism from lawmakers, journalists, celebrities, and social media users.

In its report, the Committee on Ethics and Privileges found Suntay liable for "disorderly behavior and conduct unbecoming of a member of Congress."

The committee recommended that the congressman be reprimanded and required to issue a public apology to Curtis and all women through a statement to be delivered before television or broadcast media.

Prior to the House decision, Suntay acknowledged the backlash over his remarks, saying he could have used a better analogy.

"That mistake has been made... I deserve the backlash," he said in an earlier interview.

It remains unclear when Suntay will fulfill the House directive and issue the public apology.
