Malacañang on Monday said it respects the decision of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to regulate streaming platforms like Netflix.
But, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque advised MTRCB chair Rachel Arenas to consider the recommendation of the House of Representatives to drop plans to regulate online streaming services.
“Nirerespeto namin ang desisyon ni Chairman Rachel Arenas at ng miyembro ng MTRCB. Ang aking suggestion lang po, sa panahon ng budget, Ma’am Rachel, mukhang mahirap balewalain ang sinasabi ng Kongreso, lalung-lalo na kung ang nagsalita na po ay Speaker of House,” Roque said during his virtual presser.
“Ang aking suggestion bagamat hindi nanghihimasok ang Presidente, hindi nagma-micro manage ang ating Presidente, eh i-consider po ang mga suggestions ng ating mga mambabatas dahil sila naman po ang nagpopondo ng ating mga ahensya. Katungkulan din nila na masigurado na nagagastos sa tama ang pondo ng taumbayan,” he added.
In a recent post on Facebook, House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano described the MTRCB’s plan to regulate Netflix as a “ridiculous idea.” MTRCB, he added, has no jurisdiction over Netflix and other online content.
