Manila, Philippines – A fresh storm brews for beloved actress and host Kim Chiu as she becomes the center of a formal complaint reportedly filed with the MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board) after a comment she made during a live segment of It’s Showtime. The news has shocked fans and colleagues alike, as concern grows over the future of the noontime show.

It all started during a lively segment of “Tawag ng Tanghalan,” when Kim, in a moment of enthusiasm, praised a contestant’s vocal tone with the phrase:
“Ang ganda ng vibrator ng boses mo!”
(“The vibrator in your voice sounds beautiful!”)

Though fans understood that she was referring to the vocal vibrato — a musical term for vocal resonance — some viewers misinterpreted the word “vibrator,” finding it suggestive or inappropriate, and reportedly filed a complaint.

According to a production insider:

Support for Kim poured in from co-hosts and fellow celebrities:

Vice Ganda: “We stand with Kim. Always.”

Anne Curtis: “Watch the full context before judging.”

Vhong Navarro: “Family doesn’t walk away during storms.”

It’s said that behind the scenes, the It’s Showtime team gathered privately to comfort Kim, who was reportedly in tears upon learning about the complaint.

Not the First Clash with MTRCB

This isn’t the first time It’s Showtime has drawn fire. Months ago, the show was temporarily suspended over alleged indecency in a segment involving Vice Ganda and Ion Perez. The incident reignited debates about censorship and creative freedom on Philippine TV.

Now with Kim in the spotlight, fans fear this could be the start of another tense battle between the noontime show and government regulators.

A TV executive from another network commented:
“It’s starting to feel like these complaints are being weaponized. How can you expect spontaneity from live shows when anything said in the moment can be used against the hosts?”

What Happens Next?

If the MTRCB finds Kim’s comment in violation of content guidelines, consequences may range from an official warning to financial penalties—or even suspension of the show or host.

Meanwhile, fans are launching the hashtag #StandWithKim to express support and demand fairness in reviewing the issue.
