The program aims to make a televised
Barangay Hall, a small local government office where people take arguments to be heard by Tanods (Peacekeepers). It also aims to give its audience lessons by showing the complainant's problems that the hosts and the counselors try to solve. Any citizen in the Philippines who is fluent in
Tagalog language can file any complaint about someone which will become the basis for an episode. The production crew goes over the records available and choose which cases to present on the show. They will interview the two parties and provide background about the problem. An episode begins with the host taking to the complainant, who is on the
puti or white side, in-person to describe the problem. The
Sawsaweros (male studio audience involver) and
Sawsaweras (female studio audience involver) may ask questions or make statements, along with the persons originally involved. while a production crew and the security unit provide backup if more than two people are involved. In most cases, fight scenes are censored from the daytime edition of the show, but are shown in the primetime edition which is a 60-minute replay. The evening edition has been inspected by the
Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) before the broadcast. Paramedics are also available in case of serious injuries. The three advisers, also known as
Trio Tagapayo (or
Harapang Tagapayo), can give tips and advice to prevent fights. The panel is composed of a lawyer, a psychologist, and a priest, who give legal, psychological, spiritual advice to the two respective parties. Occasionally, the show invites a guest expert as appropriate to the conflict involved. The show sometimes ends with statements from the involved parties that they are not yet ready to be friends again or resolve the problem. After giving the final resolution or not, the host provides her final thoughts on the issue. The show also conducts a follow-up to confirm if there is progress or not. ==History==
