THE Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) on Monday suspended the live noontime program “It’s Showtime!” for 12 days.
The decision was made in response to the complaints filed by viewers over the show’s July 25, 2023 episode. The show’s hosts were accused of acting indecently in the segment “Isip Bata.”
The case was sent to the MTRCB’s Hearing and Adjudication Committee, which heard it and asked the respondents to submit position papers in accordance with procedure.
Meanwhile, the ABS-CBN has received the ruling from the MTRCB, indicating that “It’s Showtime” will be suspended for a duration of 12 days from finality of the decision.
“We will submit a Motion for Reconsideration as we humbly maintain that there was no violation of pertinent law,” read the statement.
“We are also committed to working with the MTRCB to ensure that “It’s Showtime” can continue to bring joy and entertainment to our noontime viewers. We are truly grateful to the Madlang People for their unwavering love and support for “It’s Showtime.”
