Karylle, nagpaalala ng “Bawal Bastos Law” sa gitna ng game segment sa ‘It’s Showtime’

• Karylle reminded viewers about the “Bawal Bastos Law” during the March 4 episode of It’s Showtime
• A contestant failed to correctly answer a jackpot question related to Republic Act No. 11313
• The law, also known as the Safe Spaces Act, protects all genders from se*xual harassment
• The reminder came just before the program went on commercial break

Actress-host Karylle took a moment to remind viewers about the importance of the “Bawal Bastos Law” during the March 4 episode of It’s Showtime, following a contestant’s incorrect answer in the jackpot round of the segment “Laro Laro Pick.”

Madlang Player Buboy failed to correctly respond to the final question, which was related to a significant Philippine law currently making headlines. The jackpot question, read by host Jhong Hilario, asked,

“Ano ang popular na tawag sa Republic Act No. 11313, na isang mahalagang batas sa Pilipinas na naglalayong protektahan ang lahat ng kasarian mula sa iba't ibang uri ng se*xual harassment kagaya ng catcalling o mga bastos na komento, wolf whistling o paninipol, groping o panghihipo, misogynistic o homophobic remarks, stalking o pagmamanman, at online harassment.”

Buboy answered “Cyber crime,” which was incorrect. The correct answer was Bawal Bastos Law, formally known as the Safe Spaces Act.

Before the show went to a commercial break, Karylle emphasized the lesson in a light but meaningful manner.

“Ayan, Buboy, hindi na natin makakalimutan, Bawal Bastos [Law]. Don't forget, bawal bastos,” said the host.

Republic Act No. 11313, or the Safe Spaces Act, aims to protect individuals of all genders from various forms of se*xual harassment in public spaces, workplaces, educational institutions, and online platforms.

The brief exchange served as both a game show moment and a public reminder about respectful behavior and awareness of existing laws.

It’s Showtime airs Monday to Saturday at 12 noon on GMA and Kapuso Stream.
