‘Mudrasta’ and ‘Post House’ top this week’s MTRCB cinema roster

TWO Filipino films, “Mudrasta: Ang Beking Ina” and “Post House,” will headline this week’s roster of movies approved for release by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

The comedy-drama “Mudrasta: Ang Beking Ina,” starring veteran actor Roderick Paulate and produced by CreaZion Studios, has been rated R-13, suitable for ages 13 and above.

The film offers a heart-warming narrative of love and family, with a mix of comedy and drama, that promises to give both laughter and life lessons.

The “Post House,” starring Bea Binene and Sid Lucero, has been rated R-16, restricting viewership for ages 16 and above due to its mature theme.

The story follows a troubled film editor and his daughter, who will release an ancient monster while working to restore an incomplete silent horror movie.

Several international movies have received age-appropriate rating from the Board.

The South Korean comedy-horror, “My Daughter Is a Zombie,” from the creative minds behind “Train to Busan,” received a PG (Parental Guidance) rating, allowing children below 13 years old to watch with parental or adult supervision.

Two others were rated R-13: The Japanese animated movie, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle,” and the American fantasy-drama, “The Life of Chuck.”

The American crime-thriller, “She Rides Shotgun,” based on the 2017 novel of the same title, earned an R-16 rating.

MTRCB Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto emphasized that each film went through the Board’s thorough review and classification processes to ensure that audiences enjoy quality entertainment with age-appropriate ratings.

“We take pride in highlighting Filipino films that not only entertain but also inspire,” said Sotto. “Through our age-appropriate ratings, we guide families in making informed choices while uplifting the creativity of our local filmmakers.”

Sotto also reaffirmed the Agency’s mission to protect viewers, especially Filipino children, while supporting the growth of Philippine cinema.
