The board summoned the network's executives and the show's producers to a mandatory conference on June 11 to explain the episode where Jayme Jalandoni, one of the "housemates," reluctantly agreed to pose for a nude painting.
Jalandoni, however, afterwards refused the challenge when she was asked by the eponymous Big Brother to choose three more housemates to do the task.
ABS-CBN spokesman Bong Osorio said on Tuesday that the producers will face the ratings board and explain the controversial episode.
"We have received the invitation from MTRCB. We will cooperate and attend the conference on June 11," Osorio said in a report by dzMM, the network's radio station.
