IN accordance with its mandate to champion responsible viewing and assist government agencies on concerns related to television content, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) conducted a Responsableng Panonood (RP) Pulong—a consultative meeting—with the National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT) on Wednesday, May 7, at the MTRCB Liezl Martinez Hall.
Representing MTRCB were Board Members Maria Carmen Musngi and Jose Alberto V, Legal Affairs Division Chief Atty. Anna Farinah Mindalano, and the Public Information Unit.
The NCCT delegation headed by Executive Director III Daisy Atienza, asked about MTRCB’s flagship programs and initiatives—particularly those that relate to the Board’s monitoring duties and responsibilities.
The purpose of the meeting was to exchange best practices in content regulation, monitoring and media education. The MTRCB’s Responsableng Panonood (RP) campaign, training and partnerships with stakeholders are among the key topics discussed.
NCCT expressed interest in adopting some of the Board’s practices in order to improve their own child-focused media initiatives.
The Board remains dedicated in building partnerships that enable stakeholders to promote safe, educational, and age-appropriate content for Filipino families.
