Filipino and foreign fans of the iconic Korean pop girl group "BLACKPINK" will experience fun and thrill anew as the group's concert has earned a PG (Parental Guidance) rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
A PG classification advises parents or supervising adults that the film may contain any of the following: themes, language, violence, nudity, sex, and horror, whose treatment is suitable for children below thirteen (13) years of age, provided that children of said age are accompanied by supervising adults. The review committee comprised Board members Antonio Reyes, Racquel Maria Cruz, and Lillian Ng Gui.
Similarly, an animated film "Bluelock: Episode Nagi" distributed by Pioneer Films has also been assigned the same. The review panel for this was BM Gui, Reyes, and Robert "Bobby" Andrews, Jr., who explained that the material contains minimal and non-graphic depictions of violence and suffering that require parental supervision and guidance.
In addition, Warner Bros. (F.E.) Inc. film "Trap" starring Josh Harnett received an R-13 rating. The committee, led by JoAnn Bañaga, Angel Jamias, and Neal Del Rosario pointed out that the film contains psychological aspects that may not be suitable for children below thirteen (13) years of age. Similarly, a local production by VIVA Communications, Inc. starring Sue Ramirez, Barbie Imperial, and Phi Palmos received an R-13 rating. The review committee, composed of Richard John Reynoso, Jan Marini Alano, and Katrina Angela Ebarle, noted that the movie contains brief and infrequent depictions of drugs or their use, depictions of horror, frightening scenes, and occasional gore, infrequent, brief, and non-graphic depictions of sexual activity, infrequent and non-graphic depictions of violence and suffering, mature themes, moderate swear words and menacing language.
While the film "Consumed" distributed by Pioneer Films, earned an R-16 rating which restricts viewership to those aged 16 and above. Board Members Reynoso, Cruz, and Wilma Galvante in charge of the film review, cited that the film contains discreet nudity, graphic but non-gratuitous depiction of horror, frightening scenes, violence, and gore.
MTRCB Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto-Antonio advised parents and guardians that they still need to guide children below the age restrictions and become responsible viewers that will set as a good example for the younger generations.
