The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) set a hearing with “Unang Hirit” anchor Arnold Clavio and the program’s management on Wednesday after his alarming interview with Atty. Alfredo Villamor.
On Tuesday night, MTRCB sent a notice to the show’s management informing them of a meeting on November 11 to tackle the “alarming language and scenes” in its November 5 telecast.
ALARMING. Arnold Clavio called out by MTRCB for “rude” interview.
During that episode, Clavio spoke with Villamor on the phone regarding Janet Napoles who repeatedly clarified which of Napoles’ cases Villamor is handling. The newscaster was tagged as “rude” and “unprofessional” by viewers of the program on social media.

MTRCB chairperson Atty. Eugenio Villareal said the hearing was prompted by a monitoring report of the agency’s deputies, as well as by online reactions to the interview.
“Unang reaction na naririnig ko… may lumabas ngang salita na mababahala ka talaga,” he said during an interview with ABS-CBN News.
“But remember, this is a remedial measure conference dahil we would want it holistically,” Villareal added. “Ang aming tinutuuanan ay programa, not personalities.”
“Now, ‘yung segment na ito na onscreen conversation with a lawyer, per their own records ay public affairs. Eh naka-embed ‘yan doon sa programang ‘yun. Certainly, may posibilidad always na may mga batang manonood na baka mapulot ito at cause of concern para sa atin ‘yan,” he said.
“Kailangang may respeto kahit kanino man. Dahil nga ang binigay na rating dito ay PG, ibig sabihin niyan, alam nating may batang manonood. At ‘yung ibibigay nating ehemplo sa kanila sa… ay kung paano tayo nakikipag-usap sa nagiging guest o nai-interview.
“And we’re here actually to help dahil magandang pag-usapan na ito dahil ang segment ay nasa kalagitnaan ng public affairs program. Paano natin maso-solve? At pa’no maiiwasan? At sinong responsable? Kaya nga nagpatawag kami ng isang conference kung saan maaring ilahad ang nangyari, pa’no ma-prevent, at best practices,” he said.
