MTRCB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 99-07, August 30, 1999
WITNESSES OF MTRCB VOLUNTEER DEPUTIES
Volunteer Deputies bring minor children below 18 years of age into
theaters to serve as their witness.
As witnesses are required to sign Volunteer Deputy Reports and may
be called upon to appear in administrative and legal proceedings should
cases be filed against those who violated Presidential Decree No. 1986
and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, those who are already of
legal age must be chosen to act as such.
In this regard, this Board reiterates that the companion of an MTRCB
Volunteer Deputy to film screenings must be of legal age in order to be
admitted free into the theater under the terms of the Volunteer
Deputization.
The BOARD also reiterates that it is incumbent upon the theater’s
personnel to admit a duly deputized MTRCB Volunteer and his companion
(who must be of legal age) into any film screening. Refusal to do so
constitutes a violation of the law and rules and will result in
sanctions against the theater and its personnel.
For your information and guidance.
Adopted: 30 Aug. 1999
