The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) summoned the officials of ABS-CBN for the scene of “On the Wings of Love” (OTWL) featuring striptease.
This move by the MTRCB is in response to the complaint filed by the Philippine National Police (PNP), specifically to the striptease scene by James Reid on January 11 episode where he wore a police uniform.
In the letter dated January 18, MTRCB Chairperson Eugenio “Toto” Villareal said ABS-CBN needs to provide measures for the incident not to happen again.
The letter reads:
We refer to the above-captioned episod of the subject program, currently showing over Channel 2, ABS-CBN. The said episode portrayed actor James Reid doing a strip tease while wearing a PNP General Officer uniform, allegedly with a police badge and showing the rank of SPO4. According to a statement by PNP Spokesperson CSupt Wilben Mayot on or about 14 January 2016, “(t)he PNP uniform is sacred to policemen and police women” and “the strip tease scene of Reid did not properly reflect a policeman’s duty to enforce the law and assist citizens.
We gather that the network concerned recently issued an “apology” over media. However, the purported apology was in general terms, and did not specify what concrete and measurable steps that the program as well as the network will take to prevent any repeat of the incident.
The officials of the OTWL has since apologized after the news broke off. The statement noted that there is no intention of destroying the image of PNP.
