WALA pang comment ang host ng noontime show na E.A.T. na si Joey de Leon kahit pa nag-issue na ng letter of apology ang production ng show na napapanood sa TV5.
Nauna ng nagsabi ang MTRCB na nire-review na nila ang insidente matapos makatanggap ng reklamo mula sa publiko.
Sa sulat na ipinadala ng production kay Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairperson Diorella “Lala” Sotto na may petsang Sept. 25, humingi sila ng dispensa ukol sa pangyayari.
Sa sulat na ipinadala sa MTRCB at pirmado ni E.A.T. head of creatives and production operations Jeny P. Ferre, sinabi niyang: “During the said incident, Mr. Joey de Leon suggested ‘lubid’ (rope) as an answer to a question regarding things that may be worn around the neck. He conveyed this verbally in a very brief manner without further actions, elaborations or demonstrations. “However, some viewers interpreted the utterance of the said object to be an insinuation of suicide, which is a very sensitive and triggering subject.
“In this regard, the whole E.A.T. management is regretful and apologetic to those who were offended by the said utterance. Rest assured that we are one with MTRCB in advocating a responsible viewing experience for the public.”
