In an interview, Lala Sotto speaks about It’s Showtime and other noontime programs.
MTRCB Chair Lala Sotto shares that she is fond of watching this segment of Kapamilya noontime show It’s Showtime.
Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairperson is Diorella Maria Sotto-Antonio or Lala Sotto. She is the daughter former Senate President Tito Sotto and Helen Gamboa.
Last year, MTRCB suspended the Kapamilya noontime show It’s Showtime for 12 days. It started on October 14, 2023, to Octobe 27, 2023.
The It’s Showtime suspension was imposed by the MTRCB due to Vice Ganda and Ion Perezโs โcakeโ joke. The suspension was made following multiple violations, warnings, and complaints filed.
Several months after the suspension, the MTRCB chair shared that, so far, no complaints filed against the show after they served the suspension. The show became cooperative according to her when she was interviewed during the courtesy call of Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) this January 30.
All programs shows are accordingly cooperative and she’s very thankful. A relationship with open communication is something they want with their stakeholders as they are there to guide them and not to police them.
In the same interview, she was asked if he has already met Showtime host Vice Ganda. Her response was, โPersonally I have never met Vice.โ
They never met and never knew each other but the Kapamilya noontime program is now very cooperative with them. She’d even give them the credit as they are careful now. She even shared that she’s actually enjoying their new segment now which is called “Expecially For You“.
About the noontime shows
โWeโre not here to police them. Weโre here to โ yes, of course, we will continue to uphold our mandate, which is to protect children from content that they are not supposed to see,” she said.
In the past, if she is to rate what happened in one year, she quipped it was successful. They did not even notice that it’s been already a year for they were only doing their job.
