It's Showtime Fliptop Battle Controversy; WIll MTRCB suspend Showtime again?

'It's Showtime' faces another controversy, as it celebrates 3rd Anniversary this week.

On 'It's Showtime' live episode today, October 23, 2012, hosts Vice Ganda and Jhong Hilario picked two (2) guys from the audience or the Madlang Pipol to do FlipTop or a rap battle in the show's "Sine Mo' To" segment.

And there, the unexpected thing happened, creating controversy anew for 'It's Showtime', which is a PG-rated live noontime show on ABS-CBN. 

MTRCB Should Check GMA-7 Show

MAY mga komento kaming nadirinig na nakatulugan daw kaya ng mga staff ng MTRCB ang eksenang ikinulong ang isang bata sa kulungan ng aso sa isang teleseryeng panghapon ng GMA?

Wala na bang pahirap na maisip, na umabot pa sa sukdulan na ikulong ang bata ni Carmi Martin?

College graduate pa naman si Carmi at mahirap isiping aabot sa ganitong mahirap na pagpaparusa. Maliban kung ito ay nakalaklak ng shabu o anumang drugs. Bawal ito sa batas, kaya dapat hindi ito ipinakikita pa, dahil baka gayahin ng ibang taong may masamang espiritu sa katawan.

Knowing MTRCB Chairperson Grace Llamanzares Poe ayaw niya ng ganitong uri ng pahirap sa bata. Bakit kaya nakalusot, relihiyoso pa naman ang Channel 7.

TV5 kakasuhan ang MTRCB dahil sa suspension ng T3

MANILA, Philippines – Saying the preventive suspension of a news and public affairs program is illegal and unconstitutional, TV5 president and CEO Ray C. Espinosa said on Thursday the Kapatid network will take to court the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) over its suspension order against the T3 show of the Tulfo brothers.

In separate interviews with TV5’s Head of News and Public Affairs Luchie Cruz-Valdes and news host Cheryl Cosim, lawyer Espinosa said the MTRCB's suspension order, if left unchallenged, sets a dangerous precedent, with grave implications on media practice because it violates the constitutional prohibition on prior restraint.

He said TV5 will go to court on Friday and try to secure a temporary restraining order (TRO) on the 20-day preventive suspension that the MTRCB’s three-man investigating panel announced on Thursday morning, even while the panel stressed it had not prejudged the guilt of any party in the case.
