MANILA, Philippines – The Tulfo brothers’ public affairs show, T3, will go off-air for 3 months after the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) suspended it for airing threatening remarks against Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto.
The show’s hosts – Erwin, Ben, and Raffy Tulfo – will also have to pay a P100,000 fine based on the MTRCB ruling effective Wednesday, May 30, according to a report on TV5’s news site.
Earlier, the MTRCB imposed a 20-day preventive suspension on T3 after its hosts threatened Santiago and Barretto over a brawl with the Tulfos’ eldest brother, Ramon. (Read: Tulfo-Santiago beyond the 59-second video.)
TV5 president and CEO Ray Espinosa called the MTRCB order “illegal” and a “violation” of press freedom.
In a recent interview with Rappler, Ramon Tulfo himself criticized his brothers for threatening the Santiago couple on-air. (Watch his profile, “The Tulfo,” below.)
Tulfo said TV5 thought of canceling T3 after the controversial episode, but reconsidered this supposedly due to ratings. – Rappler.com
