MTRCB Highly Recommends Coming of Age Film GEOGRAPHY CLUB

POTATO ON THE GO NEWS FEED (Movie):

​“Geography Club” comes in at a most opportune time when the world now has learned to embrace that being different is no taboo after all.  Basedon Brent Hartinger’s acclaimed, best-selling young adult novel, “Geography Club” is a fast, fresh coming-of-age movie that tells a real and powerful story unfolding in every high school around the country – a story of kids hiding their true identities in plain sight, even as they feverishly pursue their hearts’ desires.

MTRCB gives go signal for the airing of the controversial MMK episode on the rape of a minor witnessed and allowed by her own mother

POTATO ON THE GO BULLETIN (TV):

ABS-CBN was finally given the go-signal by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to air the controversial “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode that viewers almost failed to see, the story of a teenage girl who was repeatedly raped, once even at the sight of her own mother. The episode will air this Saturday (June 30).

From the previously obtained X-rating, the ‘Cursed Beauty’ episode was granted by the MTRCB with a rating of 'SPG' or 'strong parental guidance.' The ‘SPG’ rating was given to the show after being thoroughly reviewed by the agency since its June 2 airing was postponed.
