The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) will conduct an inspection and information drive on passenger buses and various bus terminals today and tomorrow.
Board Members will tour several bus terminals on Edsa-Cubao today and tomorrow in relative to the Holy Week rush of Metro Manilans to the provinces.
The activity aims to ensure that buses only exhibit films with General Audience (“G”) or Parental Guidance (“PG”) classification to lessen the exposure of children on board to films not appropriate for their age.
The inspection is in support of the agency’s information dissemination campaign among bus operators to check their compliance with the rules and regulations of the MTRCB, and for the bus commuters to be informed of their right to responsible, age-appropriate, and value-based media while traveling on board vehicles showing films or TV shows.
From 8 until 11 a.m. today, the MTRCB team will be in Cubao and will inspect terminals at Araneta Center and of Baliwag Transit, Genesis Transport, and JAM Liner.
Tomorrow from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the team will move to Sampaloc, Manila and inspect terminals of Fariñas Transit, G.V. Florida Transport, Dalin Liner, and Victory Liner.
