It's About Time!

DJ Mo Twister is now being investigated by the KBP because of the alleged sexually explicit interview he had with John Lapus over at Magic 89.9. Aside from that, there were some rumors circulating that Mo's license to work as a deejay was already expired. Expired or not, I'd say that it's about time that someone looks further into his show -- whether it is of violation of any rule or it has been crossing the boundaries of whatever rule. It has created a lot of buzz because of the answers he had gotten from his guests, and there are a lot of celebrities whose name has been dragged into the mess.

Earlier, I felt that some showbiz folks just over reacted with what has been said by his celebrity guests, especially CF. (I agree with what Jo-ann Maglipon had said in Startalk. If CF feels that Mo has been crossing the line of decency in his interviews, she, too, has crossed the line several times. So, cut the guy some slack!) I do understand his statement when he said that his Forbidden Questions segment were all for fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. He compared it to people (or friends) having a conversation over a cup of coffee in the morning, talking about anything under the sun. However, there is a huge difference when people are talking privately and amongst themselves, and when the same conversation goes on public. On public, everyone takes part in it, it spreads out, it becomes everybody's business, and the people involved in the talk get hurt.

I hope that Mo should realize that he isn't in the US where celebrities get picked on (by other celebs themselves) and not hear a word from them regarding it. We are Pinoys and we easily get offended. We are too sensitive to a fault. We can't do anything about it. It is embedded in our history and culture. Who would not get sensitive when we became oppressed for over hundreds of years?

I digressed.

My point is that fun is fun when everyone is laughing and fun isn't fun when people get hurt. Maliban diyan, nilalagay niya lang sa alanganin ang mga bisita niya.

Back story: I once had a crush on Mo (Mohan Gumatay in real life). It was back in '97 when he hadn't enter showbiz yet. Just graduated in college then and without a job, listening to his 3-5 p.m. program (Early Returns) made my day. I liked listening to his voice. I thought he was cute. (Sobrang bwisit na bwisit pa nga ako kay Bunny nu'n. Actually, it was more of a jealousy rather than annoyance. Hehehe.) I even sent him (and Miles, his partner in the show) a letter. However, my admiration just disappeared when he to ASAP from SOP. (Sobrang solid Kapuso kasi ako back then.)
