The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) requested the attendance of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) producers and writers in a meeting to be held on August 18 in relation to the episode aired on August showing the female teen housemates making fun of the undergarment of Badjao contestant Rita Gaviola.
In the said episode, Rita was washing dishes in the kitchen, when the other female teen housemates started to laugh after showing what appeared to be one of Rita's garments.
Factors like Rita's age and her role as a representative of an indigenous group were considered in the MTRCB's decision to call a conference with the show's team.
"With the above, and considering further the age as well as gender of the concerned housemate, not to mention the representation made in your program that she belongs to an indigenous group or peoples of the Philippines, we are impelled to ask your aftendance, through your authorized representative/s at a conference scheduled for 18 August 2016, 10:30 a.m. at the MTRCB Adjudication Room, " says the letter posted on MTRCB website.
