SCHEDULE OF MTRCB REVIEW AND CLASSIFICATION FEES AND CHARGES

Adopted: 12 December 2013
Date Filed: 02 January 2014

Pursuant to Section 3(a) of Presidential Decree No. 1986, the
Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (“Board”) hereby
promulgates this Schedule of Fees and Charges (Please see NAR
Vol. 25 No. 1, pp. 484-487) governing all fees and charges collected by
the Board in the exercise of its mandate under the provisions of P.D.
1986, to review and classify movie and television content as well as
related publicity materials.

Consistent with Administrative Order No. 31^[1],
Series of 2012, dated 01 October 2012 as well as its relevant
implementing rules and regulations under DOF-DBM-NEDA Joint Circular No.
1-2013 dated 30 January 2013, these new fees and charges rationalize
the system of fees and charges imposed by the Board, taking into account
the cost of regulation, socio-economic impact particularly to
stakeholders, and the erstwhile infrequency of increase in such fees and
charges notwithstanding the cost of regulation.

This new structure of fees and charges is marked by three tiers
or phases. The first and second tiers or phases of the fee and charge
structure shall be implemented on 01 January 2014 (or fifteen [15] days
after the date of publication hereof and filing as provided hereunder)
and 01 July 2014, respectively. The third tier of the fee and charge
structure shall be effective 01 January 2015. A copy of the Schedule of
New Fees and Charges showing the three-tiered structure of fees and
charges is hereto attached and made an integral part of this Circular.

Any violation of this Memorandum Circular shall be dealt with in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of P.D. 1986 and Chapter
XIII of the 2004 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations. If any
provision of this Circular and of the New Schedule of MTRCB Fees and
Charges is declared invalid or illegal, the other sections or provisions
thereof that are not affected shall remain in full force and effect.
All other circulars and/or regulations of the Board that are
inconsistent herewith are hereby expressly repealed. The new fees and
charges shall pertain to the Board’s review and classification function.
Any fees and charges on the occasion of the Board’s adjudicatory and
other functions shall be covered by a separate circular.

This Circular shall take effect after fifteen (15) days
following its publication in a newspaper of general circulation and its
filing with the Office of the National Administrative Register in the
University of the Philippines Law Center, as required by the Revised
Administrative Code of 1987.

The subject schedule was APPROVED by the Movie and Television
Review and Classification Board in a meeting called, among others, for
the purpose on 05 December 2013.

By Authority of the Board:

(SGD) EUGENIO H. VILLAREAL
Chairperson
