In line with the meeting of ABS-CBN together with ASAP 18 production members last week regarding the dress of Anne Curtis in her birthday performance on the top-rating afternoon musical variety show two weeks ago, the Kapamilya issues the official statement regarding this matter. The official statement was given by the Bong Osorio who is the Head of Integrated Corporate Communications Division ABS-CBN Corporation and it says:
“ABS-CBN will continue to cooperate with the MTRCB and ensure that its programs will be in accordance with the gender sensitivity guidelines of the board. ABS-CBN thanks the board for hearing its side of the issue as it gives its assurance to self-regulate.”
In the article posted by ABS-CBNNews.com it was more elaborated that the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) did not impose any sanction to the show. Instead, they just required the staff and stars of the show and other Kapamilya programs to undergo a gender-sensitivity seminar, which will be held on March 15 under the supervision of the MTRCB and the Commission of Women.
Aside from that MTRCB orders that ABS-CBN must designate a gender point person to coordinate with them.
