Teachers question 'Showtime' suspension
MANILA, Philippines – Even the teachers themselves are contesting the decision of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to suspend “Showtime,” a popular ABS-CBN talent show.
While it commended MTRCB’s swift action, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition, the first group to denounce Rosanna Roces’ “insulting words,” described the board’s move to suspend the show for 20 days as “too much for a penalty.”
“With the show management’s action ahead of the censors’ board, the network and Ms. Roces herself, indeed, admitted that there were excesses. The removal of Ms. Roces in the hurados and her apology are proofs that the show management is responsible enough to regulate and penalize itself,” the group said in a statement, adding:
“We are in sympathy with the show’s production staff, hosts, other judges, contestants and the viewing public who, in one way or another, have been affected by this controversy.”
Roces has been axed as one of the program’s judges after taking potshots at school teachers in its January 7 live show. She also went on to describe teachers as "repeaters."
“In the spirit of self-regulation,” the Kapamilya network removed the controversial actress from the show. Despite this, the MTRCB has slapped a 20-day preventive suspension on “Showtime.”
The teachers' group called for the immediate lifting of the preventive suspension as they argued that Roces’ statements did not “reflect the views of the program, the hosts and the station.”
Also, in its latest statement, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition called on all television personalities to be more sensitive when making comments in front of a camera.
It lamented that Roces’ statements have put them “in an undignified state.”
“If we are sensitive enough to rage against racist comments and scenes from papers and shows abroad, all the more that we have to be vigilant here in our very home,” it said.
‘Without due process’
Talk show host Boy Abunda on Monday also slammed the MTRCB for suspending the ABS-CBN talent show “without due process.”
Abunda pointed out that the agency failed to take note of the network’s action. It did not even conduct any hearing before it suspended the show, he added.
He maintained that these are the issues the MTRCB must address.
"Ako ay umaasang personal na maayos ito dahil after a thorough study, after a trial na patas, ang ABS-CBN po ay bukas na sumunod kung anuman ang desisyon ng MTRCB," Abunda said.
ABS-CBN is expected to appeal the suspension Tuesday. The MTRCB has set a hearing on the issue on January 14.

YOU! "Justified and Considerate"
To YOU...
If Osang judged and comment wrongly to the teachers who join the SHOWTIME, then do you think that your comment or judgement had been Justified and Considerate to ban the whole SHOWTIME show?
I ask YOU... Have YOU ever been considerate?
Have you think about those Staffs, their families and love ones who will be affected on YOUR act and judgement?
Have not the Teachers Association was even more considerate than MTRCB?
If you are against SHOWTIME and wants the entire show to be banned for 20days, then you are just like one of MTRCB and I hope that you will not be like one of the STAFFS of SHOWTIME.
I am not tolerating the wrong and mistakes of OSANG, but let be your act and judgement be Justified and Considerate!
On my own opinion, removal of OSANG to the show was more than enough.
And I hope that this will be a another lesson to YOU, to ABS-CBN which they need to Highly consider on their standards and to all other Network stations shows.
God Bless!

TOO MUCH OF A PENALTY!
HOY! KAYONG MGA NAGSASABING TAMA LANG ANG MTRCB MGA KUMONISTA KAYO! BAGAY SA INYO MAGING JUDGE SA KANGAROO COURT NG N.P.A!
Ang batas ay batas. Dapat itong ipatupad upang magkaroon ng katiwasayan at kaayusan sa lipunan. Subalit, dapat itong idaan sa tamang proseso. Ang prosesong ito ay tinatawag na DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
Sa kaso ng pagsuspend sa SHOWTIME, posibleng may PROBABLE CAUSE ang MTRCB. Subalit wala silang due process. Suspend agad. Kahit nga ang mga AMPATUAN na marami ang nagpatotoo at marami nag ebidensyang nag-uugnay sa kanyang kinalaman at pagiging utak sa Maguindanao Massacre, binigyan ng due process, ang Showtime pa kaya! Kahit na sa kaso ni Willie, na politics lang ang dahilan, diba? Dapat may due process muna, wag suspend kaagad. Kahit bigyan lang ng notice of warning or ipatawag muna ang kina-uukulan, bago i-suspend.
Dapat dyan sa Chairman ng MTRCB maging JUSTICE SECRETARY ni JOMA SISON!
Osang doesnt have good proper
Osang doesnt have good proper breeding
plain and simple!
ngayun kung proud ang abscbn ibandera ang bukakerang hindot nato sa buong mundo,sa pagiging judge,

TSAKA UTANG NA LUOB, MAHILIG PALA KAYO SA MGA COPYCAT PROGRAMS...

Kuya Boy , bilib talaga ako sayo galing mong "manipsip" para ka pala alolod, sa lakas mong sumisip sa ABS-CBN, what ever the rule was , the MTRCB HAS TO IMPLEMENT THE RULES, EVEN ABS-CBN TOOK THEIR PART TO TAKE THE SMART AZS rosdana roces OUT OF THE SHOW. Abs-cbn has to do something to protect the "REPUTATION" of the show, and the ratings itself, DI KO KILALA NEVR HEARD NA ARTISTA si roces roces, now she's the talk of the town due to her stupidity and lack of tactfulness in regards to her comments. Dapat ang ABS-CBN should have already learn from the "PAST " THAT WHATEVER THEY DO THE MTRCB WILL BE WATCHING. like here sa states UNCLE SAM IS WATCHING, AND WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH CONDUCT OR BEHAVIOUR ESPECIALLY LIKE A SHOW LIKE SHOWTIME WHICH IS A FAMILY ORIENTED SHOW... and a firm "WARNING FOR VICE GANDA YOU MIGHT BE NEXT", SOMETIMES YOU GO OVERBOARD ON YOUR REMARKS.....tfc kapapamilya SHOWTIME FAN IN TEXAS
