MANILA, Philippines — The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) decision to suspend noontime variety show 'It's Showtime' for 12 airing days was only aimed at protecting children from indecency, Manila 6th District Rep. Bienvenido Abante said on Monday. Abante in a statement claimed that MTRCB's decision is justified as the body has a mandate to protect Filipino children from programs that show obscenity or content inappropriate for young viewers. '(MTRCB's decision to suspend ‘It's Showtime') is justified as it sends a very clear and very loud message to television show producers and artists who oftentimes forget that their content is inappropriate for young viewers,' Abante, who heads the House committee on human rights, said.
