The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned officials of reality television show “Pinoy Big Brother 737” over “numerous feedback and complaints.”

Raymond Dizon, business unit head of ABS-CBN Corporation, together with seven program officers, was invited to a “developmental conference” on July 9 at 2 p.m. at the censors board’s office in Quezon City, Ricardo Salomon Jr,  co-chairperson of the MTRCB hearing and adjudication committee, said in a memorandum.

“In the said conference, we would like to know what safety measures you have in place,” Salomon said.

He said this would “guarantee that no participants in your program is exposed to situation, challenges and experiences which may be prejudicial to his or her well-being, or which may have a negative impact on the youth  and other audiences who will be watching the show,” he said.
