In the episode in question, several teen housemates made fun of and played with Rita’s undergarments, causing the 13-year-old girl to cry. The said episode drew concern from people, highlighting the issue of discrimination experienced by Rita as a girl coming from a poor family and a member of a Philippine indigenous group.
“With the above, and considering further the age as well as gender of the concerned housemate, not to mention the representation made in your program that she belongs to an indigenous group or peoples of the Philippines, we are impelled to ask your attendance, through your authorized representative/s at a conference scheduled for 18 August 2016, 10:30 a.m. at the MTRCB Adjudication Room,” the letter read.
