'Be careful': Eruption erupts over 'It's Showtime' controversy

MANILA, Philippines — Former “It’s Showtime” host Eric “Eruption” Tai showed his support to the embattled noontime show after the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) filed a 12-day suspension order.

In an exclusive interview with Philstar.com during the recent launch of 2 Kings Productions, Eruption said he hopes that the noontime show hosts will learn from the controversy.

“It kind of goes both ways. I don’t really know the depth of the situation pero I think we’re in the position to entertain people. In some ways, they could be offending others, and (to) some, just a joke or no harm. For me, we just got to be careful on what we do,” he said.

“Kung ano 'yung klaseng situation 'yung ginagawa natin kailangang mag-ingat lang tayo kasi there’s kids watching. Kids probably won’t understand it that way pero other people will say ‘hey, hey, panget 'yan',” he added.

When asked if he supports the noontime show in their battle now, Eruption said: “I’m no longer part of the show.”

“I supported in a way that it was where I started my career and I’m always thankful for them. But I have nothing negative to say in general on what’s going on but the only thing I can say is just be safe on how we conduct ourselves on TV,” he added.
