MTRCB has Summoned Executives of ABS-CBN Over its Ongoing Reality Show "Pinoy Big Brother 737."

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned executives of ABS-CBN over its ongoing reality show "Pinoy Big Brother 737 (PBB)."

In a letter dated June 24, the regulatory agency invited officials of the program, including business unit head Raymond Dizon and director Jon Holl, to a conference "concerning children's rights and protection."

Ricardo Salomon, Jr., co-chairperson of the MTRCB Hearing and Adjudication Committee, said they have been receiving "numerous feedback and complaints" about the "PBB." He did not specify a specific scene or incident.

The MTRCB official said the conference, scheduled on July 9, is to "ensure that the best interest of the children [participating in the show] are given primary consideration."

The ongoing "PBB," its 12th edition overall which also marks its 10th anniversary, opened in June with 11 housemates aged 12 to 18.

"In the said conference," the MTRCB letter read, "we would like to know what safety measures you have in place so as to guarantee that no participant in your program is exposed to situations, challenges and experiences which may by prejudicial to his or her well-being or which may have a negative impact on the youth and other audiences who will be watching your show."

Real-life drama

Since its premiere, "PBB" has been tackling several issues involving the housemates, most of which were explained by its resident psychologist Randy Dellosa.

Notably, Ailah Antopina, a Muslim girl, related certain restrictions of her religion.

Ryan Bacalla, who is openly gay, expressed his hurt over the lack of support of his mother for his passion in dancing.

Barbie Imperial similarly turned emotional when she recalled being a victim of cyberbullying.

In the June 27 episode of "PBB," Dellosa also explained the case of housemates Bailey May, 12, and Kenzo Gutierrez, 18, whose closeness -- dubbed as "bromance" on social media -- has become a hot topic in the last two weeks.

Referring to instances when the two would hug, hold hands, or jokingly kiss, Dellosa said these may be a manifestation of May and Gutierrez's longing for a brother as they are both lone sons.

He added: "This is one way to educate na nagbabago ang gender expectations at gender roles sa culture natin ngayon. Kung dati eh ang lalaki dapat tough, rough at emotionless, ngayon we have to be in touch with both our male and female sides."
