The October 26 episode, meanwhile, was also included due to feedback as to the “casual use of the words ‘sex lang yan’ without reference to, or in disregard of, the institution of marriage.”The two remaining episodes were noted for allegedly having “sexually teasing” together with the sexually-charged bath-related scenes (which had a PG [Parental Guidance] rating), which some audiences supposedly found inappropriate.MTRCB explained that although they gave SPG and PG ratings to the aforementioned episodes, the reality is that the show still has some young audiences.James Reid and Nadine Lustre’s fans went up in arms upon the announcement of the conference.As of this writing, the tag “NO TO SELECTIVE CENSORSHP” is trending on Twitter with over 72,000 tweets of dismay from JaDine fans that are calling out the censorship body.<img src='' alt='110316-TIMY1_PUSH.jpg' width='550' height='350' align='center' border='0'> <img src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/11-November/110316/UP/110316-TIMY2_PUSH.jpg' alt='110316-TIMY2_PUSH.jpg' width='550' height='350' align='center' border='0'> <img src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/11-November/110316/UP/110316-TIMY3_PUSH.jpg' alt='110316-TIMY3_PUSH.jpg' width='550' height='350' align='center' border='0'> <img src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/11-November/110316/UP/110316-TIMY4_PUSH.jpg' alt='110316-TIMY4_PUSH.jpg' width='550' height='350' align='center' border='0'> <img src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/11-November/110316/UP/110316-TIMY5_PUSH.jpg' alt='110316-TIMY5_PUSH.jpg' width='550' height='350' align='center' border='0'>
