MTRCB Launches its Film
Ratings Infomercial
The Movie and Television Review and
Classification Board launched its Film Ratings Infomercial on 10 July 2013 at Cinema
3 of Greenbelt 3 Mall.
The event was led by Chairman Eugenio
“Toto” Villareal, together with the
Committee on Film Infomercial
chairperson, Board Member Milo M.
Sogueco. It was attended by different
cinema operators and organizations such as
Ayala Malls Cinema, Cinema 200, Lucky
China Town Cinema, Greenhills Theater
Mall, Newport Cinema, Robinsons Movieworld, Power Plant Cinema, Sta., Lucia East
Cinema, Gateway Cineplex, SM Cinemas,
and the National Cinema Association of the
Philippines (NCAP), members of the media,
and MTRCB Board Members.
Similar to the TV ratings infomercial that
was launched last year (starring the family of
Carmina Villaroel and Zoren Legaspi), the
infomercial aims to educate the public on the
proper appreciation and understanding of the
different film ratings of the Board,
especially the new Restricted-16 (R-16).
The “Parental Guidance” rating was also
simplified from “PG-13” to “PG”, in an
effort to avoid confusion with “R-13.”
“PG” means that no child below thirteen
(13) years old will be allowed into a
cinema unless accompanied by a parent
or responsible adult.
Aside from the launching, Board Member
Atty. Noel Del Prado discussed and
presented the color-coded film ratings
advisory. He discussed the guidelines on
the display and exhibition of the standardized film advisory poster and standee.
To conclude the program, a Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA) was signed by and
among the MTRCB and theater officers/
representatives and organization to signify
support for the public exhibition of the infomercial, particularly during trailer gaps, in
every cinema.

MTRCB Joins the Feast Day of Saint
Josemaria Escriva
As MTRCB Board Member Mario
Hernando says, “Äll work and no spiritual
activity make Juan’s soul empty.” Chairman
Eugenio “Toto” Villareal together with some
MTRCB Board Members thus joined the
Solemn Eucharistic Celebration in honor of
Saint Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus
Dei at St. Therese of the Child Jesus Shrine
in Pasay City. This was upon the formal
invitation by the Regional Vicar of Opus
Dei, Rev. Fr. Carlos Estrada, for MTRCB to
grace the celebration.
The Holy Eucharist was led by Archbishop
Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle. In his
homily, Archbishop Tagle described the life
of Saint Josemaria Escriva as a work of love.
His love for his work and for the people are
a manifestation of his love to God. Just like
Saint Josemaria, Archbishop Tagle stressed
the importance of loving one’s work and
passion, and to share this with other people.
