Tulfo Brothers Suspended by TV5, their Show ‘T3′ Suspended by MTRCB

While the Tulfo Brothers–Erwin, Ben and Raffy–received suspension notice from TV5 on Wednesday, their show "T3: Kapatid Sagot Kita" on the other hand, was suspended by the Movie Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) starting today.

According to TV5 Corporate Public Relations Officer Peach Vibal-Guoguio, the Tulfo brothers, Erwin, Raffy, and Ben have been suspended as of May 9 after they uttered threats against celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto on national television last Monday.

Yesterday, their eldest brother Mon Tulfo–the one involved in the infamous melee at the NAIA last Sunday–together with Martin Andanar, and Atty. Mel Sta. Maria temporarily replaced the 3 younger Tulfos as T3 hosts.

However, the show itself was suspended too! The Movie andTelevision Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) just meted a 20-day suspension on "T3: Kapatid, Sagot Kita" starting today, May 10.

And the ground for suspension? Presidential Decree 1986, "for airing scenes and utterances that are indecent and contrary to law, or with a dangerous tendency to encourage the commission of violence, or of a wrong or crime."
