Movie And Television Review And Classification Board
The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board ( fil, Lupon sa Rebyu at Klasipikasyon ng Pelikula at Telebisyon; abbreviated as MTRCB) is a Philippine government agency under the Office of the President of the Philippines that is responsible for the classification and review of television programs, motion pictures and home videos. Unlike other organizations worldwide (such as the BBFC), the Board does not rate video games. Thus, the ESRB system used in the United States is the ''de facto'' rating system used in the Philippines, although there have been attempts at formulating an independent local rating system. Certain video game vendors ask for a valid ID or any other verification to be able to buy M- and AO-rated games. The Board also does not rate literature. The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board also serves as a ''de facto'' censorship body. History In early 1994, MTRCB decided to censor footage from the film ''Schindler's List'' depicting sex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
