MTRCB put Party Pilipinas on 6-month Probation

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) ordered a six-month probation on Party Pilipinas over a “sexually-charged” dance number of Lovi Poe and Rocco Nacino during its January 27 episode.

The MTRCB also ordered the management and staff of the Kapuso weekly musical variety show to issue a public apology and to undergo “gender sensitivity training.”

The dance number that prompted some televiewers to file complains to MTRCB was the part when Lovi and Rocco performed a very “sexy” routine on a propped-up bed.

It’s interesting to note that Lovi is the half-sister of former MTRCB Chairman Grace Poe-Llamanzares, who is running for senator in this year’s local elections.
