“In order for the board members to rate just one game, they have to play the whole game at ilang oras po ang igugugol nila para lang maglaro ng game,” she continued.Sotto-Antonio, however, said that ratings of other countries are different from the Philippines.
“Ang sinasabing rating ay akma lamang sa ibang bansa. Hindi ibig sabihin angkop na rin po ‘yan sa Pilipinas dahil iba naman po ang Filipino family values dito sa atin,” she said. Under Presidential Decree No. 1986, MTRCB is mandated to regulate and classify movies, television programs, related publicity materials and/or promotional materials.
