Dagdag trabaho: Win Gatchalian wants power for MTRCB to regulate video, online games

November 1, 2022

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has filed a measure seeking to expand the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board’s (MTRCB) mandate to include the regulation of video and online games.

Senate Bill No. 1063 or the proposed Video and Online Games and Outdoor Media Regulation Act seeks to amend Presidential Decree No. 1986 that created the MTRCB.

Gatchalian said safeguards should be in place to protect the youth from negative effects of new technology.

“Habang patuloy na nagbabago at lumalawak ang paggamit natin sa teknolohiya, dapat din nating tiyakin na nabibigyan ng kaukulang proteksyon at paggabay ang ating mga kabataan, lalo na mula sa mga hindi magagandang impluwensya at epektong maaaring idulot ng mga teknolohiyang ito,”he said.

Aside from video and online games, Gatchalian also proposes that the MTRCB also regulate outdoor media, which includes advertising signs, Light Emitting Diode (LED) signs and billboards, ground signs, roof signs, and sign infrastructures.

Under Gatchalian’s bill, the procedure on examination and review, as well as banning of media deemed unfit for consumption in the Philippines, will also apply to video and online games, and outdoor media.

The measure also prohibits the sale or distribution of any video game that has been rated “Adults Only” by the Board. It will also be unlawful for a minor to buy or receive games rated “Adults Only,” and use false evidence of age to obtain copies of these video games.
