Manila, Philippines – Usap-usapan ngayon ang lumabas na bagong music video ng kilalang YouTuber na si Toni Fowler at ng Freshbreed, ang MPL o Malibog pag Lasing.

Marami ang nag-report ng naturang video dahilan para i-takedown ito ng YouTube. Bukod dito ay marami na rin ang nagpahatid nito sa kaalaman ng Movie and Television Review Classification Board (MTRCB).

Sa isang online article ng isang nationwide tabloid (not Remate), sinabi diumano ng isang personalidad na lumabas sa music video na si Ms. Papi Galang, na ang kantang MPL at ang music video nito “was rated as STRONG PARENTAL GUIDANCE (SPG).”

Sinagot naman ito ng MTRCB and the agency wishes to inform the public that MPL did not undergo MTRCB review and classification, hence, it was not given any rating by the Board. “We assure the public that had the MTRCB been given the opportunity to rate the same, it would have been given a NOT FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION (“X’) rating.

“We appeal to Ms. Galang, to be circumspect in her statements, and for news organizations to practice responsible journalism by fact-checking their reports before publication, as the public may be led to believe that the MTRCB had given its highest allowable rating for airing content on television to the said material.

“We also would like to remind the public that they may use the report/flag option on YouTube and other online platforms to flag or report content they deem inappropriate or offensive to their sensitivities.

“We are working on proposed amendments to our charter that is both fair to the creative industry and mindful of the needs of the Filipino viewing public,” sabi pa ng statement na inilabas ng MTRCB na pinamumunuan ni Chair Lala Sotto. JP Ignacio
