TV5 Releases Statement on MTRCB’s Decision to Suspend the Show ‘T3’

The Kapatid Network questions MTRCB's decision to suspend its public service program "T3," a day after the network suspended the Tulfo Brothers.

Here is the official statement sent by TV5 to Starmometer via e-mail on Thursday afternoon, May 10:

“News5 is deeply concerned by the MTRCB decision to place its Public Service program T3 under preventive suspension.

We believe that this oversteps the mandate of the MTRCB, and sets it on a path could threaten the independence and freedom of the broadcast industry.

Self-regulatory mechanisms internal to the organization and instituted within the industry and to which TV5 subscribes were in place, enforced, and ultimately effective in disciplining programs host Ben, Raffy, and Erwin Tulfo.

MTRCB’s action of placing T3 under preventive suspension raises the question of what else, other than the disciplining of the anchors, the government aims to achieve. The Tulfos have been sanctioned. What else is there for government to resolve? A preventive suspension suggests that the continued broadcast of the program would constitute a danger to the viewing public.

There is no such danger. T3 was conceptualized, produced, and ultimately classified as news and public service program. For MTRCB to even consider or suggest by its actions that T3 has suddenly lost all its purpose and value, or worse, poses a danger to the public such that it warrants censorship, sets a dangerous tone and could potentially lead to a dangerous precedent for all news programs.”

    its not about the show or the station..
    anu na nangyari sa freedom to speak ng broadcast industry?.. you can’t blame them.. that’s normal na makapagsalita cla nang ganun..kapatid nila un, kuya…nagkataon lang na meron clang public service program. at yun ang trabaho nila..

  4. Dear TV5-News5, The T3 show is not only composed of the three anchors… you also have the writers, the staff, the directors and everyone working behind the camera – these people make the show right?. Letting the three anchors pull off the words they had said and all the threats they had stated reveals that the show’s management was incapable of making their anchors prevent from making such remarks. Yes, the show was live, but someone from the production must have had the responsibility to monitor since they’ll be tackling a sensitive topic. They could’ve cut  the show for commercials or for any other tv show plugs. So, the show, also being sanctioned is just fair because of negligence.

    With great mass media power, comes great responsibility….

    Tama lang ang ginawa ng MTRCB, nawalan ng kredibilidad ang show dahil sa tono ng pananalita ng mag kakapatid naTulfo parang ipinasasakamay na nila ang batas bilang ganti sa kanilang kapatid. Public Service ang program at hindi Personal Service…kahit anong galit nila dapat naging patas sila sa kanilang pananalita lalo pat hindi nman sila ang involve kundi ang kuya nila..Marahas ang bawat pag babantang salita ang binitwan nila, at dun nawala ang patas nilang pamamahayag…

  10. cno ba ang nagsimulang gumawa ng eksena at nagkagulo..sna lang natutong magsalita ng maayos at nagpkiusapan nlang..lahat ng gusot ay maaring maayos kung tama ang pkiusapan..di yun ganun na akla mo knya ang lugar at lahat ngtao ay kaya nya..syang ang aking paghanga sa knila nwalan tuloy ako ng gana sa knila kala ko pa nman  dapat clang idolohin..di pa la..
