The Movie Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) called the attention of Kris Bernal's afternoon drama Impostora for its love scenes.
This happened because of Kris's intimate scenes with her leading man Rafael Rosell.
Impostora director Albert Langitan revealed this to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other reporters during a visit on the set of the GMA-7 teleserye on September 4 at the Urology Center of the Philippines, Quezon City.
He explained, "Kasi sabi ko nga dati, napaniwala nila akong gustong gusto nila yung isa't isa, e!
"I mean, siguro, yun yung level ng professionalism nila na wala silang inhibition."
Kris doesn't want it to happen again. However, the incident made her realize one thing.
She said with a laugh, "Ibig sabihin, pwede pala ako gumawa ng love scene, believable pala yung love scene na ginagawa ko!
"Ang mahirap kasi sa akin, mukha akong bata, e. Bata itsura ko, bata katawan ko.
"So parang feel ko, minsan, pag nagla-love scene ako, hindi bagay sa akin kasi parang wala sa itsura ko.
"Pero at least, di ba, pwede na rin akong mag love scene!"
Meanwhile, Direk Albert was part of the team who went to the MTRCB for the hearing.
According to the Kapuso director, he did not find Kris and Rafael's love scene going overboard since he was also able to do these kinds of scenes in his previous shows: Ang Lihim ni Annasandra and Rhodora X, both aired in 2014.
He admitted, "Siyempre sa standard ko, okay lang siya. Sabi ko nga sa hearing, may precedent kasi.
"Yung ginawa ko dati, yung Ang Lihim Ni Annasandra o Rhodora X, ganun natyung ginagawa ko.
"Kaya lang, siyempre, nagkakaroon ng shift of values depende kung sino yung nakaupo sa MTRCB.
"Ang sabi ko nga sa kanila, sa MTRCB, sana pagka ganun, magkaroon ng parang forum para sabihin ng mga bagong nakaupo sa mga practitioners kung ano yung ine-expect para hindi nag-o-overboard."
At the end of the meeting, MTRCB and the network were able to agree on the terms.
He continued, "Pero sa end naman ng dialogue na yun, nagkasundo ang MTRCB at saka kami na magkakaroon palagi ng ganung dialogue para walang miscommunication na mangyari.
"Palagay ko, yung pagpapatawag sa MTRCB, function lang yun na hindi nagkaroon ng tamang communication.
"Kasi ako, as a director, wala naman akong intensyon na mag above board."
Does the dialogue mean that Direk won't do intimate scenes anymore for Impostora?
He declared, "May love scene pa rin!"
Impostora, which is an adaptation of the 2007 Kapuso series of the same title, and the 1994 film Sa Isang Sulok ng mga Pangarap, is set to run until January 2018.
