Showtime is Back!

Showtime is back! After a week of absence, Showtime live returns on air with the issuance of a temporary restraining order form the Court of Appeals dated January 15.

Showtime was issued a suspension by the MTRCB due to Rosanna Roces’ offensive comments on teachers in the show’s Jan. 7 episode.

Here is ABS-CBN’s official statement regarding the issuance of TRO for Showtime live.

ABS-CBN is happy to announce that the talent-variety program “Showtime” will return on-air starting tomorrow, 19 Jan 2010, following the issuance of a temporary restraining order by the Court of Appeals enjoining the MTRCB from continuing to enforce the preventive suspension order on the show.

We welcome the CA resolution dated 15 January 2010, which states: “For reasons afore-stated, and as prayed for by petitioner, let a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER be issued, as it is hereby issued, effective sixty (60) days from notice hereof, enjoining respondent MTRCB, including any and all persons acting in their behalf and under their command and authority, from continuing to enforce the Preventive Suspension Order dated January 11, 2010 issued against petitioner, pending the resolution of the instant petition.”
