Nakipag-partner ang MTRCB sa Netflix upang i-promote ang “Responsableng Panonood.”
Nagpadala ng press release ang Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) sa Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) ngayong Sabado, Oktubre 22, kaugnay sa usaping ito.
“This is a culmination of the efforts of the Board and our partners in Netflix who we have been in constant dialogue with,” pahayag ni MTRCB Chair Lala Sotto-Antonio.
“Here at the MTRCB, we look after the well-being of Filipino viewers of all ages, which is why safeguards must be in place to prevent young children from being exposed to content that is not appropriate for their age.”
Complementary to the mutual goal of MTRCB and Netflix to ensure that access to content and viewing experience is age-appropriate across platforms such as smart TV, web-based, and mobile devices, Netflix will promote the use of in-app Parental Controls which allow users to place a PIN code and designate a ‘Kids’ account for young viewers.
With Netflix as its flagship SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) partner, the MTRCB is optimistic that both local and foreign streaming providers will follow suit. The Board is also open to collaboration opportunities that will protect the interest of the Filipino people.
Dalawang obrang Pinoy ang nasa Top 10 Movies ngayon ng Netflix Philippines — ang Doll House ni Baron Geisler, at ang Feng Shui ni Kris Aquino.
Tatlong Pinoy teleserye ang pasok naman sa Top 10 TV Shows ng Netflix Philippines — 2 Good 2 Be True nina Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla, I Left My Heart In Sorsogon nina Heart Evangelista, Paolo Contis at Richard Yap, at Wildflower ni Maja Salvador.
Parehong “Good” ang ariba — The School for Good and Evil sa pelikula, 2 Good 2 Be True sa TV shows.
Malapit nang mag-streaming sa Netflix Philippines ang mga pelikulang One More Chance at Now That I Have You nina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd Cruz, Markova: Comfort Gay ni Dolphy, Ngayon Kaya nina Janine Gutierrez at Paulo Avelino, at To Russia With Love nina Gerald Anderson at Elena Kozlova, pati na ang Kapamilya teleseryeng A Family Affair nina Ivana Alawi, Gerald Anderson at Sam Milby.
Take note na nag-umpisa yung A Family Affair bilang teleserye ni Bea Alonzo na Kahit Minsan Lang, kasama sina Richard Gutierrez at Rafael Rosell.
Abang-abang tayo kung alin sa projects nina Bea at Gerald ang mas tatangkilikin sa Netflix Philippines!

OK iyang ganyang mutual regulation guidelines ng MTRCB at Netflix.
Sana dumating din ang pagkakataong pati sa TV at pelikula ay maging ganito na rin — wala nang nakaambang pagpapa-cut ng mga eksena o mga salita, kundi hahanap at ituturo na lang ang tamang audience sa angkop na pelikula at panoorin.
Itong mga efforts na ito ay pagsulong, progressive at forward-looking kaya suportado natin ito.

Hindi lang ang Netflix kundi pati ang ibang streaming app ay susunod naman daw sa ikakampanya ng MTRCB.
Hindi lang daw tayo sure sa Vivamax at ibang matatapang na streaming apps, sagot sa akin ng isang executive ng isang streaming app.
Nakausap din namin ang Head of Originals, Philippines ng Prime Video and Amazon na si Direk Quark Henares, at wala naman daw isyu ito sa kanila dahil family-oriented ang Prime Video and Amazon at nari-regulate naman daw nila ang content nila.
“Amazon is very family-oriented. Honestly, I think all the platforms have been good at self-censorship, yung self-control, or at least parental control, di ba?
“I think internally, ayaw talaga nila ng masyadong malaswa,” pahayag ni Direk Quark.
May mga bago silang ipalalabas sa Prime Video na tingin daw niya ay magustuhan ng lahat na tingin nila pasado ito sakaling idaan pa sa MTRCB.
“For example, Kun Maupay Man It Panahon is coming out on November. There’s another one that we’re really fighting for. Sana lumabas sa platform,” sabi pa ni direk Quark.
Samantala, naka-text ko nga pala si Paolo Contis dahil happy siya na pataas nang pataas sa nagti-trending ang I Left My Heart in Sorsogon sa Netflix.
Todo promote ang Kapuso actor sa social media niya. Pero napansin namin, bakit sa FB page ng GMA Worldwide, sina Heart Evangelista at Richard Yap lang ang nasa artcard ng I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.
Bakit hindi kasama si Paolo? Natawa na lang si Paolo nang tinanong ko.
“No comment hahaha!” text niya sa akin.
