MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Movie and Television Ratings and Classification Board (MTRCB) has had it with noon-time, family-oriented shows that have been airing indecent content.
Yesterday, MTRCB re-classified the ratings of GMA/GTV’s “It’s Showtime” and TV5’s “E.A.T.” Both shows are now rated ‘R’ (Restricted). It means minors cannot watch the shows unless accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
The MTRCB decision came after live episodes showing Vice Ganda and Ion Perez finger-licking some cake icing, and Tito Sotto kissing his wife Helen Gamboa.
Incidentally, MTRCB’s chairperson is Lala Sotto, daughter of Tito and Helen. Professionalism is thicker than blood!
