According to the letter sent by the The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) on GMA Network on October 3, the comedy gag show “Bubble Gang” had a “discriminatory and derogatory portrayal of a woman” in their previous episode on November 29, 2013.

“It appears that the segment stereotypically portrayed a woman as an object of rather frivolous, albeit carnal, delight. When women are treated as commodities, they are disrespected and degraded,” a post on MTRCB’s Twitter account read.

The MTRCB was alarmed after their monitoring agents referred to them the episode of the show, particularly the segment entitled “D Adventures of Susie Lualhati.”

The segment is about Susie (Rufa Mae) na  bilang tagapagluto at tagapagbenta ng puto bumbong, in the store owned by Michael V, also known as Bitoy.

The sexy comedienne Rufa Mae was on a Sexy Dress on the show, , na halos daw lumuluwa na ang dibdib nito. May mga eksena pa raw na “suggestive.”

The MTRCB set the Mandatory Conference over the matter on Dec. 9.

Here’s a copy of MTRCB’s memo to “Bubble Gang” that was published on their official Twitter account (@MTRCBgov):
