00:00 The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board junks an appeal from the Apolo Kibuloy-owned
00:06 Sunshine Media Network International, upholding its decision to suspend two of the network's
00:11 shows.
00:12 In December 2023, the MTRCB imposed a 14-day preventive suspension on the SM&I shows "Gigan
00:19 sa Masa, Para sa Masa" and "Laban Kasama ang Bayan."
00:23 In its motions for reconsideration, the MTRCB finds SM&I's assertions "unconvincing and
00:28 lacking persuasiveness."
00:30 The MTRCB also extends the show's suspension period to 28 days.
00:35 This decision comes after the National Telecommunications Commission ordered SM&I on Tuesday, January
00:41 23, to cease its radio and television operations following findings by the NTC that SM&I allegedly
00:48 failed to strictly comply with an initial 30-day suspension imposed in December.
