Hindi inaprubahan ng Movie and Television Review Classification Board o MTRCB ang kanilang inihain na Motion for Reconsideration ang Kapamilya noontime program na “It’s Showtime.”
Ito ay may kaugnayan sa naunang desisyon ng naturang ahensya na patawan ng 12-day suspension ang programa sa pag-ere on national TV.
Base sa resolution na inilabas ng MTRCB ngayong araw, September 28, iniuutos nito sa management na itigil ang live broadcast ng show ng labindalawang araw.
“The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) released a resolution dated 28 September 2023, denying the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) filed by GMA Network, Inc. and ABS-CBN Corporation.”
“Said MRs sought relief from the Board’s ruling dated August 17, 2023, regarding the July 25, 2023 episode of the live noontime television program ‘It’s Showtime!’,” ay ang ilan sa mga ipinahayag sa resolusyon ng nasabing ahensiya.
Pinandigan ng ahensya na ang mga kilos ni Vice Ganda, Ion Perez, at Ryan Bang ay nagpapakita ng “indecent” at “inappropriate” act habang sila ay nasa harap ng mga bata sa pag-ere ng programa.
Sa resolusyon na ito, mas pinagtibay pa ng MTRCB ang kanilang naunang desisyon na ipatawan ng suspensyon ang programa na “It’s Showtime.”
“Specifically, during the show’s “Isip Bata” segment, in which hosts Ryan Bang, Vice Ganda and Ion Perez allegedly acted indecently or inappropriately in the presence of children, which is alleged to have violated Section 3 (c) of Presidential Decree No. 1986 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
“In view of which, the Board’s decision dated 17 August 2023 is affirmed,” dagdag pa ng MTRCB.
Sa nagdaang budget hearing ng MTRCB, ipinahayag ng board member na si Atty. Paulino Cases Jr. na maglalabas sila ng kanilang desisyon tungkol sa motion for reconsideration ng Kapamilya program.
Sa pagkakataong ito, tinanong rin ni Sen. Jinggoy Estrada si MTRCB Chairperson Lala Sotto sa tila masyadong mahaba ang ipinataw na 12-araw na suspensyon sa “It’s Showtime.”
“Mr. Chairman, there are also a lot of people suggesting to cancel the show. We consider other people’s comments, too. That is not the only comment that we received saying that 12 days suspension is too much,” pahayag ni chairperson Lala Sotto.
Dagdag pa ng niya, “There are also a lot who were saying that the show should be canceled or the number of days [suspension] should be extended.”
