Vice Ganda during his I-Vice Ganda Moko sa concert Araneta on May 17, 2013 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum tried too much to entertain his audience at the expense of Ms. Jessica Soho by making fun of her person bordering on uncalled for and tasteless jokes that were not meant to be uttered in public in general, and to Ms. Soho in particular.
Jessica Soho is a multi-awarded broadcast journalist, an industry veteran who has worked for GMA network for the last three decades. She received a George Foster Peabody Award and was the first Filipino to win the British Fleet Journalism Award in 1998.[ Ms. Soho’s excellent body of work and the causes she has championed have earned her the respect of colleagues here and abroad.
Sources said that GMA’s plan to file charges versus Vice Ganda was set many days ago yet. But it was thwarted when a close and powerful friend of Vice tried to intervene and appeased the other party. But when the video went viral, GMA had no recourse but to continue with the charges in order to protect the interest and reputation of Ms. Jessica Soho, its valued talent and currently its Vice-President for News and Public Affairs.
