The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has suspended the popular noontime show “It’s Showtime” for 12 airing days following complaints against the show. The suspension was issued on Monday, September 4, 2023, and is effective immediately.
The suspension came after viewers lodged multiple complaints against the show’s July 25, 2023 episode, which allegedly featured indecent acts of romantic partners and hosts Vice Ganda and Ion Perez during one of its segments, “Isip Bata”. Perez smeared cake icing on his finger and licked it off. He then shared it with his partner, Ganda, who scooped some of the icing off Perez’s finger and ate it. The act was a violation of Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1986 (MTRCB Charter).
“In accordance with the Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1986 (MTRCB Charter), the respondents may file one Motion for Reconsideration (MR) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the decision. Should the Board’s Decision be adverse to the respondent’s MR, they may appeal to the Office of the President within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the decision on the MR,” the MTRCB’s latest statement said.
The MTRCB has also noted “additional warnings” on the use of “inappropriate language” in previous episodes of the show 4. The decision has been met with mixed reactions from fans of the show, with some calling it unfair and others supporting the MTRCB’s decision 52.

Disney has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its streaming services, Disney+ and Hulu, in October. The ad-free version of Disney+ will increase from $10.99 to $13.99 per month, while the ad-supported version will remain at $7.99 per month. The ad-free version of Hulu will increase from $14.99 to $17.99 per month, while the ad-supported version will remain at $7.99 per month.
The price increase is effective for new subscribers starting on October 12, 2023, and for existing subscribers starting on November 1 2023.
Disney has cited rising content costs as the reason for the price increase. The company has been investing heavily in new content for its streaming services, including original series and movies, as well as live sports. The price increase is likely to be met with some resistance from subscribers, but it is not unexpected. Streaming services have been raising prices in recent years, as they compete for subscribers and content.
“The strong momentum of our ad-supported plans in the U.S. demonstrates the importance of providing consumers with choice, flexibility and value,” said Joe Earley, President, Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment. “We are excited to expand that offering in more markets across the globe, including in Europe and Canada, and to launch a new premium duo bundle of ad-free Disney+ and Hulu this Fall, as we take steps toward making extensive Hulu content available via Disney+ later this year for Bundle subscribers.”

After almost a week, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon (TVJ) and the former hosts of Eat Bulaga signed a new agreement with MediaQuest Group to move to TV5.
This is what MediaQuest CEO Jane Basas said in their official press statement;
I’m honored that these pillars of the Philippine entertainment industry have agreed to work with us. Our partnership strengthens our ability to continue to deliver the best for Filipino viewers here at home and all over the world. I’m happy that Tito, Vic, and Joey will now call TV5 their home.
Dabarkads – Maine Mendoza, Pauleen Luna and Ryan Agoncillo confirmed the new deal by posting on their personal social media account a 20 seconds clip showing the letter “J” of TVJ transforming to the number “5”.
The deal may already be in the works, since Joey Deleon previous said that “We’re not signing off … we are just taking a day off!” at that time the trio announced that they are leaving TAPE and the rest of the staff, crew and hosts also sent their resignation to TAPE the next day.
The new show is scheduled to air on TV5 in July and it’s unclear what will be the title of new show, since rights to the name “EAT BULAGA” is still being being disputed by TVJ and TAPE. Considering the the large following of Tito, Vic and Joey, including the Dabarkads (Eat Bulaga’s mainstays); Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Maine Mendoza, Pauleen Luna and Ryan Agoncillo, they can just name of the show anything they want and people will still watch them in droves.
It’s official… we have a Eat Bulaga hosts namely; Paolo Contis, Buboy Villar, Betong Sumaya, Alexa Miro, Cassy and Mavy Legaspi with a performance from XOXO, and today is their first live show since TVJ and, its hosts, crew and staff left TAPE, from the reaction above, it’s not a good start for our new “Dabarkads,” it may also be a career suicide for the new hosts, since they’ll get a ton of criticism from the loyal viewers who have been watching the noontime show for 44 years.
You can use the logo, you can use the opening song, you can even use the terms and words TVJ uses, but these new wannabes will never personify the term dabarkads. Not in the slightest. And we all know that certainly this is fake. #FakeBulagapic.twitter.com/lQ9QM1SvP8
Eat Bulaga isn’t just a noontime show. They’re like a family to millions of Filipinos, here and abroad. We literally grew up with them for 4 decades. And just like family, no one can just replace them… not now, not tomorrow, not ever.#EatBulaga
Ngayon pa lang nalulungkot na ako for the new hosts, ihanda nila ang kanilang mga sarili sa lahat ng masasakit na salita na matatanggap nila, esp from loyal fans ng OG EB and TVJ! pic.twitter.com/6p8f9Orb4a
lolz #EatBulaga is trending for all the wrong reasons. move to Showtime, people! this “revamped” EB is as terrible as All Out Sunday 🤢 pic.twitter.com/lYGSVjHlxW
This is not the end of an era but a new beginning for #EatBulaga for sure. Lets wait this June 14. But one thing is for sure, this is the downfall of TAPE Inc. if TVJ leaves advertisers and viewers will follow them wherever they go. They will always carry the brand with them. pic.twitter.com/Z4mjLwypQ8
