MTRCB have summoned the Kapatid network to a gender sensitivity and decorum inquiry next week due to the incident on Wowowillie featuring Willie Revillame’s on-air tirade over co-hosts Ethel Booba and Ate Gay for their behavior.
Ethel Booba responded to Willie’s outburst through Twitter, confirming that she was humiliated with Willie’s action and stated that she will no longer return to Willie Revillame’s show.
The MTRCB acknowledged that it’s “jurisdiction is principally over the program, not particular personalities on a show.”
