(MTRCB, Philippines) banned Soriano's Programs (including this one) because of statements made by Soriano against the Iglesia ni Cristo
(INC), and the MTRCB. He was prohibited from uttering libellous and defamatory statements against INC. Soriano had used terms like iglesiang pumapatay ng kapwa tao (church who murders) and iglesia ni Manalo (church of Manalo) to malign the INC in his programs. The Philippine's Commission on Human Rights
, urged Soriano to file charges against the MTRCB. The CHR ruled that Soriano's "freedom of speech and religion" was violated by the MTRCB's suspension order.
