MTRCB Shares Ratings for Nine Films: Empowering Filipino Viewers to Make Informed Choices

 

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) continues to promote responsible viewing with its release of ratings for nine films set for exhibition this week.

From heart-pounding action to heart-warming family stories, these films are sure to captivate audiences of all ages.

The 2024 fantasy epic, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” a prequel set 183 years before the events of Peter Jackson's “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, was rated PG (Parental Guidance).

“Bocchi The Rock! Recap Part 2” and “Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto: Interstella 5555” were also rated PG, together with Vietnam’s horror-comedy “Betting With Ghost,” a story about a female ghost looking for her lost child; the religious drama “Christmas with The Chosen Holy Night,” and South Korean concert films “Seventeen Right Here World Tour” and “NCT Dream Mystery Lab: Dream Scape.”

A PG rating requires parents or adults to accompany viewers under 13 years old.

American movies—“Kraven The Hunter,” a superhero action film featuring the Marvel Comics character of the same name, and “Dirty Angels,” an action thriller—were rated R-16, suited for 16 years old and above.

MTRCB Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto-Antonio emphasized the importance of parental guidance for young viewers, even for films with designated age classifications.

“While the MTRCB ensures that movies are classified appropriately, it is equally essential for parents and guardians to actively guide their children in making informed viewing choices,” Sotto-Antonio said, reaffirming the Board’s commitment to protect viewers, especially the youth, while fostering a responsible and enriching media environment.
