There was an increasing appeal by the netizens to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to fix the issue surrounding It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda, and EXpecially For You participants, Axel and Christine.
On X, several netizens tagged MTRCB, saying that it should be their obligation to protect ordinary citizens from being shamed on national television.
“Guys boycott Natin ang it’s showtime. Mag send kayo lahat ng complaint sa mtrcb pa close na natin. Magaling sila mang lait ng mga Tao. Bad example sila vice! Send emails guys: [email protected],” netizen Miggy said.

“Juskooo Lala sottoo wakeee upp pooo mas maganda pa kung Its showtime isara no apologize on axel sa mga pinagsasabi ni vice!.. Kahit Eat Bulaga nalang TV show,” netizen Lalia commented.
However, some fans believed that Vice didn’t retract his apology, MTRCB would also see it as a bad gesture from the television host.
“Bakit di nya sinabi sa show na ok lang sya sa nangyari? Bakit sa Tiktok pa nya sinabi? Edi sana nakapag sorry agad si Vice sa same day na yun. Halata naman sa tone ni Vice na nainis sya kase bukod sa Gabriella, iko-callout din sila ng MTRCB,” netizen Sak remarked.
MTRCB has yet to release a statement regarding the issue.
The issue started when Vice called out Axel for his gesture toward Christine, his ex-girlfriend.
However, Christine clarified on a social media post that she was fine with the gestures of her ex-boyfriend.
Instead of apologizing, Vice insisted that what Axel did was inappropriate and even said that Christine only pretended that she was fine.
As a response, Christine criticized It’s Showtime for portraying her as a liar.
