In a recent discussion on the ‘Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,’ hosts Ogie Diaz and Mama Loi discussed an intriguing claim related to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) and their apparent stance on the series ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,’ led by Coco Martin.
According to a source mentioned during the conversation, the MTRCB seems to hold a more favorable view of the series due to its swift response to issues and willingness to apologize.
The source, identified as a member of the board, revealed that the staff at the MTRCB are proactive in extending apologies whenever concerns are raised about the show.
Notably, the series faced criticism in February from the Muslim community regarding its portrayal of Muslim characters.
Mama Loi posed a question during the discussion, wondering if a similar approach is taken by the staff of ‘It’s Showtime,’ another popular program.
Ogie Diaz suggested that this could be confirmed through further inquiry.
Ogie also raised the idea of MTRCB conducting seminars for live show hosts, with the goal of making them more aware of their language choices, especially given their prominent presence on television.
