MTRCB summons producers of ‘Eat Bulaga’, ‘Ryzza Mae Show’ for ‘violating child star’s dignity’

This has been an unpleasant week for TAPE, Inc., the producers of the daily noontime show “Eat Bulaga” and its 30-minute pre-program “The Ryzza Mae Show”.

Right on the heels of the sex video scandal involving two of its talents, comedian Wally Bayola and dancer Yosh Rivera, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board on Wednesday summoned the people behind the two shows to a mandatory conference on Friday “for scenes allegedly insensitive and unfriendly to children”.

The MTRCB took exception to a recent episode of each show for “palpably violating the dignity” of child star and host Ryzza Mae Dizon.

One of her adult co-hosts on “Eat Bulaga”, the agency said but did not identify the culprit, spat juice on Ryzza Mae’s face during the show’s July 29 episode.

And a guest on the August 4 episode of “The Ryzza Mae Show”, the MTRCB said and again did not identify the culprit, told her “Landing bata ka!”

“To which the latter replied by pleading that she was just a child, and asking the said guest not to be harsh on her,” the MTRCB added.

“The MTRCB hopes (for) the cooperation of all those concerned in finding out what caused those scenes, who are responsible thereof, and what immediate and concrete measures can be done so they do not happen again. In this connection, the MTRCB reiterates its serious and urgent concern for the welfare of children, who are most vulnerable in media and entertainment,” the agency concluded in a statement.

Anne Curtis reveals secret of ‘provocative’ outfit as MTRCB orders ‘ASAP’ probe

No, it was not a wardrobe malfunction.
Moments after the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board ordered an investigation of the high-slit black dress she wore on “ASAP 18″ on Sunday, Anne Curtis took to Twitter and Instagram late Tuesday afternoon to clear the air about her controversial attire during her song number on “ASAP 18″ on Sunday


Her post reads:

“TAAAADAAA! I present to you the controversial @boomita (Twitter handle of designer Boom Sason) outfit I wore for my birthday number on ASAP.

“As you can see, we have a bodysuit with a hidden tangga (sic) to make way for the sky high slit skirt. It is made out of 2 pieces. In fact the “tangga” is made out of swimsuit material which Boom Sason is also known for making. I was completely protected.

“It may have seemed like a wardrobe malfunction to many but I can assure you, after making the mistake of not securing myself once I wouldn’t let that happen to me again. :) So to settle all your minds I just had to post this.

“Thank you to everyone that was concerned! To everyone that’s trying to make an issue out of it! Thank you! ABS-CBN News just told me it’s their most clicked on video on their site ever!

“Just relax everyone! Wearing a tangga is no newbie in the industry! It’s been around since the 80′s :) ”

Her explanation came two hours after the MTRCB announced on its Twitter account that it had summoned the show’s producers to “a gender-sensitivity investigation” over that same outfit.




To celebrate her 28th birthday on “ASAP”, Anne sang Rihanna’s “Diamonds” wearing a black gown with a slit so high it suggested she was wearing no underwear.

At the end of the song, after she was drenched in fake rain showers, the slit parted enough to expose her crotch area, although it happened for only a second and might have been missed by most viewers.

Most netizens who have seen videos of the number on YouTube believed she was not wearing any underwear during her performance.

Just two weeks ago, the MTRCB put “ASAP’s” rival program, GMA’s “Party Pilipinas”, on a six-month probation for what it called “a sexually charged dance number” involving Lovi Poe and Rocco Nacino.

Netizens believe Anne Curtis had no undies in birthday number on ‘ASAP’

The online discussions regarding the show-stopping number by Anne Curtis on “ASAP 18” on Sunday have already shifted from the obvious question of whether or not she was wearing any underwear underneath the high-slit black gown she wore on her production number of Rihanna’s “Diamonds”.

Although many have given their thumbs up to the sizzling song number, not a few people were left wondering if the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board should step in and impose the same sanctions they had imposed on “Party Pilipinas” early this month.

When he first assumed the position of MTRCB chairman last October, Atty. Eugenio “Toto” Villareal told InterAksyon that the regulatory body is very strict when it conducts the post-telecast reviews of live shows. “If there are violations then there will be sanctions but due process is always strictly observed in such cases,” he vowed.

In the case of “Party Pilipinas”, the MTRCB found enough grounds to place the show on a six-month probation following a “sexually charged” dance number on its January 27 broadcast in which Lovi Poe and Rocco Nacino simulated the sex act on a propped-up bed and also while suspended by a mobile harness several feet above the stage.

While Anne Curtis’ number is not exactly in the same league, it was nonetheless quite provocative as she also got drenched in fake rain showers towards the end of the song. All throughout, the birthday girl had her fans wondering if all she had under her gown was her birthday suit.

And for a second after she finished the song — at the 3:19 mark on the YouTube video supplied by ABS-CBN News — the absence of underwear appeared to have been laid bare for all to see… or not.

Many fans believe she did go commando, although at least one Facebook user, Eric John Silva, thought she was wearing “see-through leggings with her stockings on”.

“Daring naman lagi si Anne,” noted Twitter user Mac Chan KARO. Back in 2010, Anne had what fans called a “swimsuit malfunction” that resulted in an equally controversial “nipple slip” in another production number for “ASAP” that took place in Boracay.
