For today’s episode of their revolutionary public affairs show "Totoo TV" (11 p.m. on ABC), the comic–duo–turned–investigative–journalists dons police uniforms and escorts no less than TV and film’s ultimate police – MTRCB chairperson Marissa Consolazion Laguardia.
"Totoo–TV," the show that merged reality entertainment with news and public affairs brings another newsmaker to the fore and reveals the person behind the public persona. Strict, conservative and traditional – these are what most say of the programs that pass for good television and film, and incidentally of the present MTRCB sensibilities. But does the same hold true for the board’s chairperson? Take a peek at a day in the life of chairwoman Laguardia – from colorful conversations, to fun sing–alongs, to watching bold films! Maverick and Ariel post as the chair’s guards, tagging along Laguardia as the latter pursue her exciting daily adventures. Can the chairwoman censor Maverick and Ariel’s bold questions and crazy antics? Catch that this Monday on ABC.
