ABS-CBN released a statement on Monday night shortly after the decision of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to suspend the live noontime show "I'ts Showtime" for twelve (12) airing days.

"We have received the ruling from the MTRCB, indicating that "It's Showtime" will be suspended for a duration of 12 days from finality of the decision, said the network, which has housed the show for more than 10 years.

While the network reiterated its support for the show and its host, it also expressed its willingness to work with the regulatory board.

"We will submit a Motion for Reconsideration as we humbly maintain that there was no violation of pertinent law. We are also committed to working with the MTRCB to ensure that "It's Showtime" can continue to bring joy and entertainment to our noontime viewers," the network continued.

In a statement, MTRCB said the suspension comes following multiple complaints from viewers over the July 25 episode of the show's segment "Isip Bata" where the program's hosts allegedly acted in an indecent manner.

"We are truly grateful to the Madlang People for their unwavering love and support for "It's Showtime."," the network said.
