Liza Maza to 'Kembot Girls': Wear appropriate clothes

“Hindi naman sa nagpapaka-manang ako pero hindi maganda na may (It’s not that I’m being conservative but it does not sit well to see) scantily-clad women gyrating in political campaigns," she told GMANews.TV over the phone. The representative of a group advocating womens’ rights said she has asked her staff to relay her concern right after watching the ‘Kembot Girls’ perform during the NP’s kick-off rally in Laguna on February 9. The organizers heeded her call but she deemed the response as insufficient. “Sa Cebu grand rally naka-tights na yung ibang dancers pero meron pa rin iba na hindi (During the party’s grand rally in Cebu, some of the dancers were already wearing tights, but there were still others who wore skimpy clothes)," Maza said. She was not onstage with the other senatorial candidates when the ‘Kembot Girls’ performed that night. However, in the following 'Wowowillie meets Rockatropa' shows, the dancers wore skimpy clothes again. Since her requests, coursed through her staff, remain unheeded, Maza said she would ask for a meeting with the organizers to personally relay her message. Besides boasting of its pro-women platform, the Nacionalista Party has the most number of woman candidates in its national slate which include re-electionist Sens. Miriam Defensor Santiago and Pia Cayetano, Rep. Liza Maza, OFW rights’ advocate Susan Ople, and family and children’s welfare advocate Gwen Pimentel. The six women candidates appeared with Villar in a new television commercial where they represent the different roles that women assume in society — as mother, daughter, wife and nation-builder. - RJAB Jr., GMANews.TV
