Due to scenes in the program that caused viewers to raise their concern.
In a statement on Thursday, November 12, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) issued a statement on its platforms.
In the said post, the agency disclosed that it is currently looking into scenes and interactions in recent episodes of the reality show Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0 of ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network.
The local franchise of the hit international format has been flagged by viewers, with the MTRCB noting that it has received over 100 complaints in the past few days.
The Board also noted that it would discuss the viewers’ concerns with the show’s production team as part of its review.
“While this is underway, the MTRCB reminded PBB management to exercise greater care to ensure that each episode complies with the guidelines for the reality television show’s assigned age rating,” it further stated.
The agency, however, did not specifically state which scenes or incidents in the show have caught the ire of viewers.
At present, both networks and the show’s production team have not yet issued any response to the said statement.
Since its premiere in 2005, Pinoy Big Brother has repeatedly earned attention from the MTRCB over its themes, depictions, and the behavior of housemates in the reality program.
Among past incidents that happened were a nude dance challenge during the All-In season, which was widely panned by critcs and activist groups, and the alleged bromance between two housemates in 737 in 2015.
Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0 is the latest season of the long-running format and the third co-produced by ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network.
