“Showtime” Once Again Suspended by MTRCB! ABS-CBN to Appeal to Pres. Arroyo

The MTRCB once again got back at ABS-CBN’s top-rating morning talent show “ShowTime” as it will suspend it for a month.

The MTRCB has once again put its foot down on the unresolved issue of Rosanna Roce’s negative remarks against teachers months ago on Showtime that warranted for its suspension.  But the first suspension was set aside after the media giant appealed the case and got a TRO or Temporary Restraining Order from the court.

Check out the first suspension of Showtime here and the negative remarks of Osang on video here.

But ABS-CBN through its legal department shot back saying that the regulatory body has no right to implement such an order and they will appeal the issue to the Office of the President.  And for now, viewers can expect to see the show on its regular programming as the network is not backing down.

MTRCB further said that the media company could no longer replace “Showtime” with “Magpasikat” as the two shows are just but the same; and doing such a move will only warrant more suspensions.

The Renegade Blogger’s Thought: I think MTRCB is quite vindictive already, if not using its power as a tool for political harassment to those critical to the administration, and I think if ABS-CBN appeals to the President, such a course of action will only result in futility.

How about you guys?  What is your thought of the suspension that MTRCB is once again slapping “Showtime?”
