Controversy
Morning Girls became controversial when Kris accused a congressman of being disrespectful to the military in connection with the Oakwood mutiny, while Korina referred to Representative Clavel Martinez as bastos (rude). They were asked to attend a Congressional hearing to explain their statements, but they refused to attend on the legislator's first and second invitation. On the third invitation, Sanchez still refused but Aquino decided to show-up. As a result, Aquino was cleared, while Rep. Martinez asked that Korina show up or face repercussion. The controversy led to the exchange of statements between Representative Martinez and her fellow legislators and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkasters sa Pilipinas. The issue even caused the Martinez' Political clan of Cebu to ask Mar Roxas to make amends with Representative Martinez, so the latter would endorse Roxas' candidacy at Cebu.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
