Rumors are circulating that the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) might impose more than just a simple penalty on the popular noontime show “It’s Showtime,” according to Cristy Fermin on her YouTube show ‘Showbiz Now Na!’ premiered on August 10.
“Malinaw na wala pang pinakakawalan na anumang paghusga. Wala pa pong resulta ‘yung pagmo-monitor at pagtutok ng MTRCB kina Ion at Vice Ganda. Hindi totoo na kaya sila’y nawala ng tatlong araw sa kanilang programa ay dahil suspendido sila… Ito po ay isang simpleng pagbabakasyon.
“Pero alam mo umiikot na ang mga kuwento ngayon, na hindi lang basta simple ang maipapataw na parusa sa Showtime,” Cristy shared on “Showbiz Now Na.”
“Kasi nga nire-reprimand sila noon at sila ay pinadadalhan ng warning pero akala nila siguro hanggang dun lang,” she continued.
Cristy went on to reveal a more severe possibility for the Kapamilya noontime show.
“Ang pinaka-nakakatakot lang diyan kung ‘yung sinasabi natin na kabastusan na ipinakita sa ere at sa mga nakaraan pa pinag-ipon ipon, sana ganoon lang. Eh paano kung mayroon pong makialam na ibang mga grupo at ikukilkil ‘yung iba pang mga kaso na pupuwedeng iano sa kanila, ipataw… katulad ‘yung child abuse.”
This is related to the scene involving Vice Ganda and Ion Perez eating icing off their fingers in the “Isip Bata” segment of the show. While many viewers and netizens didn’t see anything wrong or offensive, the MTRCB, especially its head Lala Sotto, had a different perspective.
As a result, the MTRCB is requiring the show’s producers to explain the situation. There is no news yet about the outcome of their discussions.
