ABS-CBN issued another statement on the decision of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to suspend "It's Showtime," saying it believed the noontime program did not commit any violation.

The full statement released on Sept. 5:

"Natanggap namin ang ruling ng MTRCB na nag-uutos na isuspinde ang 'It’s Showtime' sa loob ng 12 araw mula sa pinalidad ng desisyong ito.

(We have received the MTRCB ruling ordering the suspension of “It's Showtime” within 12 days from the finality of this decision.) 

"Kami ay maghahain ng Motion for Reconsideration dahil naniniwala kami na walang nangyaring paglabag sa anumang batas. At habang nakabinbin ang Motion for Reconsideration, ang desisyon ng suspension ng programa ay hindi pa pinal at epektibo. Kaya sa ngayon ay patuloy nyo pong mapapanood ang “It's Showtime.”

(We will file a Motion for Reconsideration because we believe no law violation has occurred. While the Motion for Reconsideration is pending, the decision to suspend the program still needs to be finalized and effective. So for now, you can continue to watch "It's Showtime.") 

"Patuloy rin kaming makikipag-ugnayan sa MTRCB para makapagpatuloy ang “It’s Showtime” sa paghahatid ng libangan at saya sa minamahal naming Madlang People. 

(We will also continue to communicate with MTRCB so that "It's Showtime" can continue to deliver entertainment and fun to our beloved Madlang People.) 

"Buong puso kaming nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng nagmamahal at sumusuporta sa “It’s Showtime.”

(We wholeheartedly thank everyone who loves and supports “It's Showtime.")

On Sept. 4, the MTRCB) announced its decision to suspend the live noontime program “It’s Showtime!” for 12 airing days.

The decision came after viewers have lodged multiple complaints before the MTRCB concerning the show’s July 25, 2023 episode wherein the program’s hosts allegedly acted in an indecent manner during one of its segments, “Isip Bata.” 

The said case was referred to the MTRCB’s Hearing and Adjudication Committee which heard the case and required the respondents to submit their position papers, following a procedural process.
