House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano expressed his disappointment at the misplaced priorities of the MTRCB, following their proposal to police and possibly censor content of several video streaming platforms.
“Ang dami na ngang problema ng mga kababayan natin, tapos ito pa ang gustong unahin ng MTRCB?” he said in a statement.
“If they really want to be relevant at this time, sana ang iniisip is kung paano makakatulong sa pagpapa-improve ng industriya.”
[There are so many problems and this is MTRCB’s priority? If they really want to be relevant at this time, they can find out ways to help the entertainment industry.]
Cayetano said MTRCB is setting back the efforts of the Congress and other government agencies to “open up lines of communication with the public.”
“MTRCB is focused on the outdated mindset of information regulation and censorship. Anong dekada na ba kayo? [What decade are you in?]” he lamented.
