MTRCB Suspends "T3 Kapatid Sagot Kita!" for 3 Months; TV5 Releases Statement


The Movie and TV Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) today hands down its 3-months suspension order and a fine of P100,000 for TV5's daily afternoon public affairs program "T3 Kapatid Sagot Kita!"

The decision was made in relation to the threat its hosts Erwin Tulfo, Ben Tulfo and Raffy Tulfo put on the lives of Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago during the live airing of the said program on May 8, 2012 (watch the said episode HERE.)

In this regard, TV5 releases a statement condemning the said decision:

TV5 regrets the decision of the MTRCB and views it as an act in excess of its jurisdiction. At this point, TV5 will turn to the Court of Appeals and seek judgment in its pending petition to enjoin the MTRCB from further enforcing the sanctions until a definitive ruling is made on the issue of grave abuse of discretion committed by the Censorship Board.”
