00:00Earlier in the Senate, the budget of the Movie Television Review and Classification Board, or MTRCB, was discussed.
00:06Where various issues were raised.
00:09The budget was also discussed for the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
00:14That's the story of Daniel Manalastas.
00:18In the budget hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Finance,
00:21one of the highlights of the hearing is the movies that received an X rating from the MTRCB.
00:28Like the movie, Alipato at Muog.
00:30As well as the controversial movie, Dear Satan.
00:33The MTRCB explained their actions.
00:58The second review applied, Alipato at Muog.
01:01But if you ask Soto about the Dear Satan movie.
01:28He misspelled Santa for Satan.
01:31And it was Satan who received her wish.
01:33It was also found to be violative of the Presidential Decree of 1986.
01:39Another highlight of the hearing is how the MTRCB is making a solution
01:44to regulate some other movies that are said to be illegal.
01:49The movies that were X rated, supposedly X rated, especially Viva Max.
01:55I haven't watched any movie of Viva Max.
01:58But according to those who are always watching,
02:04there's a bit of a confusion.
02:08Truthfully, it is impossible to regulate all these online curated content platforms.
02:15What we were thinking and what we were proposing
02:18may be to appropriate mechanisms for content control
02:22in a way that we want to ensure that there would be a cooperation
02:27with the online streaming apps, with the online curated content providers
02:31by using safeguards.
02:34One of the participants in the budget hearing in the Senate
02:37is the so-called budget of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
02:41One of the speakers, Senator Ronald de la Rosa,
02:44is the one who came to the scene of the calamity
02:48to help the LGUs.
02:52I'm not criticizing how you disburse your money,
02:55how you use your money.
02:57How can we get there?
02:59Maybe we can just connect to those who are in need so that we can help.
03:03Our regional directors,
03:06we reached out to the local government units affected,
03:10like the one that Karina went through.
03:13We wrote to them that we have a program,
03:16the Integrated Disaster Shelter Assistance Program.
03:19You can avail it.
