The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) conducted a compliance seminar for the production team of the hit primetime series "Sigabo" as part of its continuing "Responsableng Paggabay" initiative. The move came after the board received complaints about the alleged excessive depiction of violence in the program.
Seminar Details and Purpose
The seminar was held at the MTRCB office in Quezon City, serving as an opportunity for dialogue between the board and the program's producers. The goal was to develop a common understanding of standards for age-appropriate content while acknowledging artistic creativity and responsible storytelling.
MTRCB Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto emphasized the board's objective: "The Board's goal is to support the television industry in the development of engaging, socially relevant, and world-class programs while being mindful of their impact on viewers, especially children."
Production Team's Response
CCM Film Productions, the production company behind "Sigabo," welcomed the initiative. The company expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn more about MTRCB's standards and reaffirmed its commitment to responsible content production.
MTRCB's Ongoing Mission
The MTRCB remains dedicated to its mandate of responsible media regulation. By working with, guiding, and constructively engaging content creators, the board aims to protect Filipino audiences through informed and responsible viewing.
