Manila: The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) reminded transportation companies and operators that only content rated 'G' (General Patronage) and 'PG' (Parental Guidance) are allowed for showing inside public utility vehicles (PUV).

According to Philippines News Agency, the MTRCB stated that the policy is mandated under its Memorandum Circular No. 03-2024 which classifies common carriers as 'movie theaters' for regulatory purposes. This regulation aims to ensure that content remains appropriate and does not negatively impact minors who may be traveling with their families.

The MTRCB has urged passengers to report any violations of this policy through the MTRCB official social media channels @MTRCBGov or via e-mail at [email protected]. The board emphasized that legal action will be taken against violators in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 1986 and Chapter XIII of the 2004 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations.

This reminder from the board comes as travelers begin to journey to their respective provinces to observe Holy Week, a period marked by Filipinos with deep devotion through church services, processions, and personal acts of penance.
