Senator Robin Padilla is seeking to give more teeth to the MTRCB in approving and prohibiting the distribution of films, television programs and publicity materials that “express national, racial or religious hatred.” | BPinlacINQ
“Almost 40 years since its creation, MTRCB proves to be bereft of the opportunity to address the changing demands of our time because of its limiting jurisdiction, organizational structure and operational competence. It also lacks enabling powers to cover potent types of visual media that have proliferated in many forms, including online streaming platforms, on-demand streaming services and even video games,” Padilla explained in his bill.
Among those that may be used by the MTRCB as grounds to disapprove or prohibit the distribution of movies, television programs and publicity materials will likewise include those deemed dangerous “for the protection of national security, public order or public health.” Notably, movies, television programs, publicity materials or advertisements produced, imprinted or exhibited by the Philippine government will not be placed under the jurisdiction of the MTRCB, according to Padilla’s proposed measure.
Seizure and confiscation of the objectionable material being exhibited or shown sans approval of the board or in violation of the Act
