Private Convos with Doc Rica One News January 31, 2024The MTRCB banned the talk show, which was hosted by sex therapist Rica Cruz and focused on sexuality-related matters, saying that it "purely appeals to ‘prurient interest’" and failed to adhere to its rating guidelines. It specifically cited two episodes that were aired on August 24, 2023 and September 6, 2023, during which the sexually explicit terms such as "self-masturbation, anal sex, and oral sex were voiced out, and noted that the program was broadcast in what it deemed were "child-viewing hours" at 09:30 pm on Wednesdays, with reruns in the afternoons.
