The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) is calling top executives of ABS-CBN for a “mandatory conference” to discuss a controversial dialogue delivered in the teleserye Pangako Sa Yo.
The dialogue was delivered by Pilar Pilapil who was playing the role of Doña Benita Buenevista during a confrontation scene with Ian Veneracion who plays the role of Eduardo.
The controversial line : “Kung pampalipas libog lang iyan, that’s okay. Go ahead.”
According to MTRCB: “The above-quoted strong language in regard to sex and the insinuation that it is okay to use a woman for the mere purpose of satisfying one’s fleshly desires even if he is already engaged to marry another woman, are obviously meant for a mature audience.
“The scene, if left unexplained, also cuts into the dignity of the woman and the integrity of an impending marriage—which is a protected institution.”
“This shall be without prejudice to such remedial measures that the Board may require or impose to protect the well-being of the young audience.”
