“Magpasikat,” the program that temporarily replaced Showtime, which was suspended by the MTRCB for 20 days, is being mulled by the MTRCB for suspension too because the censors body feels that it is one and the same show as Showtime. The staff and crew and the hosts of Showtime, are also the same people behind “Magpasikat”, they also have the same format and set, effectively changing the title of the show only.
The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) said that “Magpasikat” and “Showtime” “are one and the same show,” thus, the replacement should also go off the air,” said Atty. Jonathan Presquito, MTRCB’s legal counsel.
The MTRCB made this statement during its preliminary hearing on the remarks made by Rosanna Roces on “Showtime” that resulted in the 20-day suspension of the show.
Before the suspension order can be issued, however, the hearing committee quickly clarified that this will still be investigated.
“We will see. Aalamin pa ng committee kung totoo nga,” said Atty. Paulino Cases Jr., head of the hearing committee.
