What a week it has been for the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), especially for its chairperson Lala Sotto. She has been hounded online since the start of the government agency’s issue with the noontime show It’s Showtime.
Since the July 25 episode of the live noontime TV program, specifying the show’s Isip Bata segment, where there was an “icing incident” that put off the board of the MTRCB, Lala has received so much backlash from It’s Showtime fans and netizens who are calling for her resignation.
“Chairperson Lala Sotto is a dedicated public servant who has spent her career advocating for responsible and inclusive media content. She has consistently championed the importance of media content that respects cultural sensitivities while contributing positively to the Philippine entertainment industry.”She said, “I was very much surprised that the committee and the agency have been also looking out for me.
Now that chair Lala has inhibited herself from all noontime show issues, she shared what the situation is in their family gatherings nowadays given that her father, former Sen. Tito Sotto, is the host of It’s Showtime’s rival program E.A.T. “Bashing is not new to us, it’s not new to me at all. You all know what they have said about my father in the past, so I thank God I am unbothered.”
