The review board cited the complaints they received from viewers pertaining to episode of the show, particularly to its "Isip Bata" segment.
In the said segment, Ion Perez was seen holding a cake and licking its icing. His partner, Vice Ganda, was also seen licking the cake icing from his own finger.
"Viewers have lodged multiple complaints before the MTRCB concerning the show’s 25 July 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," the statement read.
"It's Showtime" can file a motion for reconsideration (MR) 15 days after receiving the board's suspension decision. If the board's decision does not favor the show's MR, the show can appeal to the Office of the President within 15 days from the receipt of the decision on the MR.
