CEBU, Philippines - Nagpinirmahay og Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) ang Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) ug ang Commission on Human Rights (CHR) aron mapalapdan ang kaalam sa publiko kalabot sa proteksyon ug promosyon sa tawhanong katungod.
Ang maong kasabotan gipirmahan sa MTRCB Chairperson nga si Atty. Eugenio “Toto” Villareal uban sa CHR Chairperson nga si Jose Luis Martin “Chito” Gascon, MTRCB Board Member Atty. Noel Del Prado, ug CHR Commissioner Karen Gomez ug nahitabo kini sa buhatan sa CHR sa Diliman, Quezon City niadtong Miyerkules, Disyembre 9.
Suma pa ni Villareal nga ang MOA maoy maisip nga kumpirmasyon sa kooperasyon sa nahisgutang duha ka ahensya.
“First, for the past few years, in both its developmental activities like the Matalinong Panonood for the protection of the viewers, especially children and women, and in the adjudication and dispute resolutions that we do, we have already adopted what we call a “rights-based” approach. And what greater ally we can have in this approach the men and women of the CHR. Secondly, because of our developmental mandate, we would also like to bring to our stakeholders all our learnings in human rights as these apply to media and entertainment,” nagkanayon si Villareal.
Samtang si Gaston sa iyang bahin, nga duna’y importanteng papel ang managhiusa sa CHR ug MTRCB sa pag-umol og “ society o community of values”.
“The MTRCB of course is the institution of government that ensures that whatever is produced, that impacts on our future, builds on, draws from, and strengthens a humane, democratic, and peaceful society. The same also with CHR which is a constitutional body that promotes and protects human rights, and we are excited about the prospect of cooperation that we might be able to develop between the CHR and the MTRCB as we continue to promote the values of a humane society,” nagkanayon si Gaston.
Mitambong usab sa ceremonial signing ang MTRCB Executive Director nga si Atty. Ann Marie Nemenzo, mga Board Member nga sila si Atty. Jojo Salomon, Jackie Aquino-Gavino, ug Gladys Reyes-Sommereux. Naa usab ang CHR Commissioners nga sila si Roberto Eugenio Cadiz ug Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana.
