NAG-ISSUE na ng official statement ang ABS-CBN hinggil sa kinasasangkutang kontrobersya ng seryeng Till I Met You nina James Reid at Nadine Lustre.
Ito’y may kinalaman pa rin sa mga reklamong inihain ng ilang manonood, na karamihan ay mga nanay, sa ilang episodes ng nasabing serye, partikular na sa mga love scene ng JaDine.
Narito ang opisyal na pahayag ng Kapamilya Network.
“The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) earlier issued an invitation to the directors and producer of Till I Met You to a conference for them to explain some scenes to address certain viewer concerns. MTRCB posted the invitation online, which attracted social media discussion.
“Prior to the airing of the questioned episode last Oct. 25, the producers, by way of self-regulation pursuant to MTRCB policy and practice, did send a letter to the MTRCB informing them that the episode will bear the classification of SPG (Strong Parental Guidance) because of the sensitive material involved.
“The intent of the episode to show certain sensitive scenes was to make viewers aware not only of the consequences of young and reckless love but also how impulsive acts of this kind of love occur in real life.
“There are lessons to be learned where decisions are made on impulse. We hope that the program will be appreciated in its entirety and some scenes not taken out of context.
“Rest assured that the program executives will participate in the conference requested for by the MTRCB on Nov 10.”
Bago ito, nilinaw naman ng MTRCB na wala silang ipinapataw na parusa sa produks-yon ng Till I Met You, ang magaganap lang daw sa Nov. 10 ay isang dialogue sa pagitan ng ahensya at mga direktor at producer ng TIMY.
