"I am calling on the chairperson of the MTRCB to resign because she is not doing her job."
This was Congressman Bienvenido Abante’s call for Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairwoman Consoliza Laguardia last September 4, 2007 regarding the Wilyonaryo controversy.
According to Manila 6th District Congressman Abante, Chairman Laguardia failed to give sufficient initiative to investigate the incident that happened on Wowowee on its Wilyonaryo segment last August 20.
On the other hand, Laguardia replied to Abante and said, “I serve in the pleasure of the president. Siya ang nag-appoint sa akin at siya rin ang puwedeng magsabi kung kailangan ko nang umalis, Ire-request ko rin siya na medyo umatras at makipag-usap din sa DTI [Department of Trade and Industry] para sabay-sabay naming maguwardiyahan itong telebisyon”
According to Laguardia, it is not their concern when it comes to mechanics of the game show, they are a classification board, what they do is to classify if a show is for General Patronage or for Parental Guidance.
When it comes to initiative, she made a move to mediate on the feud between Willie Revillame of Wowowee and Joey de Leon of Eat Bulaga.
The Department of Trade and Industry undersecretary Zeny Maglaya confirmed that they are the one responsible on regulating the game shows aired on television and now they already created a task force to investigate the Wilyonaryo controversy.
