MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Lala Sotto, chairperson of the Movie and Television Ratings and Classification Board, says she stands by the summons issued to the producers of GMA/GTV’s “It’s Showtime!”

The summons came following the noon-time show’s episode whereby hosts Vice Ganda and real-life partner Ion Parez were finger-licking some cake icing in front of young children.

By affirming the MTRCB’s summons, Sotto who is the daughter of Senate President Tito Sotto and former actress Helen Gamboa, penalized “It’s Showtime” with a slap on the wrist!

Regarding complaints that her parents also committed an indecent act on TV5’s “E.A.T,” (prolonged kissing on the lips on national television), the MTRCB chair said that’s different because her parents are real-life husband and wife.

Hmmm, does that constitute bias against same-sex real-life partners?
