'It shouldn’t have been produced and has since been removed. We’re sorry for this error,” the statement reads.
It also featured Kimpoy calling himself a “lover boy” instead of “playboy” and uttering the following line: “Kasalanan ba if I want them all?”and a former congressional representative, who said that it “objectifies women.”
“In the said ad, social media personality Kimpoy Feliciano is seen comparing three women to different sandwich options, and vaguely describing them as the ‘biggest, tastiest, and meatiest,'” the party-list said before. “We would like to remind Subway that women are not pieces of meat. The advertisement reeks of sexism and misogyny. It is deeply offensive, triggering, and insensitive, especially when many Filipino women continue to experience various forms of sexual violence and abuse,” it added.
Gabriela further said that its statement is a reminder that “we still have a very long way to go” in terms of how women are portrayed in different forms of media and content. Subway acknowledged the comments in a now-deleted Facebook post where it said that the ad was “intended to connect the variety one gets from Subway’s three crave-worthy B.M.T. options, all made equally delicious.”“B.M.T. moments happen when you are faced with confusion over almost equally great choices. Whether it’s the choice of food or a make or break life decision, anyone can experience their own B.M.T. moment,” it said.
