MANILA — The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) called out ABS-CBN after the ‘nude painting challenge’ posed by ‘Kuya’ (Big Brother) on primetime reality TV show “Pinoy Big Brother: ALL IN.”

As their weekly task, four housemates were challenged to pose naked for a painting in the show.

MTRCB showed their distress on their Twitter handle, saying the board was “alarmed over alleged gender-insensitivity” apparent in the said task.
