How ironic is it to be bombarded by misogyny as soon as calendars hit Women’s Month?
By now, we’ve all heard what congressman Bong Suntay said about actress Anne Curtis during a House hearing.

In this Yappler session, we want to ask you: What are you tired of hearing as a woman or about women in 2026?
