The Order of the National Artists Award (Orden ng Gawad Pambansang Alagad ng Sining) is the
highest national recognition given to Filipino individuals who have made significant contributions to the
development of Philippine arts; namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film and
Broadcast Arts, and Architecture and Allied Arts. The order is jointly administered by the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and conferred
by the President of the Philippines upon recommendation by both institutions.

The Order of National Artists Award is one of the honors conferred by the Republic of the Philippines
that embodies the nation’s highest ideals in the humanities and aesthetic expression through the distinct
achievements of individual citizens. While the Republic bestows due recognition to these singular
achievements, it also honors its own cultural heritage, whose enrichment these achievements have
significantly effected, enhanced, and given direction.

These achievements are measured in terms of their vision, unusual insight, creativity and imagination,
technical proficiency of the highest order in expressing Filipino culture and traditions, history, way of life,
and aspirations.

8. what is pornography

Pornography (often abbreviated porn) is the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the exclusive
purpose of sexual arousal.[1] Pornography may be presented in a variety of media,
including books, magazines, postcards, photographs, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound
recording, phone calls, writing, film, video, and video games. The term applies to the depiction of the
act rather than the act itself, and so does not include live exhibitions like sex shows and striptease.
The primary subjects of present-day pornographic depictions are pornographic models, who pose for
still photographs, and pornographic actors or porn stars, who perform in pornographic films. If
dramatic skills are not involved, a performer in a porn film may also be called a model.
Various groups within society have considered depictions of a sexual nature immoral, addictive, and
noxious, labeling them pornographic, and attempting to have them suppressed under obscenity and
other laws, with varying degrees of success. Such works have also often been subject
to censorship and other legal restraints to publication, display, or possession, leading in many cases
to their loss. Such grounds, and even the definition of pornography, have differed in various
historical, cultural, and national contexts.[2]

10. The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (Filipino: Lupon sa Rebyu at
Klasipikasyon ng Pelikula at Telebisyon;[1]abbreviated as MTRCB) is a Philippine government
agency under the Office of the President of the Philippines that is responsible for the classification
and review of television programs, movies and home videos.
Unlike other organizations worldwide (such as the BBFC), the Board does not rate video games.
Thus, the ESRB system used in the United States is the de facto rating system used in
the Philippines, although there have been attempts at formulating an independent local rating
system.[2] Certain video game vendors ask for a valid ID or any other verification to be able to buy M-
and AO-rated games. The Board also does not rate literature

A much publicized use of the X rating by the MTRCB was the issuance of such rating to To Live for
the Masses, a documentary film portraying the life of former Philippine president Joseph Estrada in
2006. Certain portions of the film, especially the portions with regard to the 2001 EDSA Revolution,
were deemed by the MTRCB to be inciting political rebellion, a charge denied by the producers of
the documentary.

Television[edit]
The MTRCB has implemented a television content rating system since November 1, 1995.
Historically, there were only two television ratings used (see the table below). These ratings
consisted of a plain text digital on-screen graphic (or pictogram) appearing on the corner of the
screen during a program's run time:
System used from November 1, 1995 to October 5, 2011

Pictogram Rating

None General Patronage

Plain text only Parental Guidance

However, on October 6, 2011, in order to encourage parents to supervise and be responsible with
their children in watching television, the rating system was reformatted, with one additional rating
added.[5][6][7]
The ratings notice are always played before the start or midway of the show. The rating voice-overs
are usually in Filipino, but predominantly English-language stations have the ratings notice spoken in
English. Ratings notices were previously broadcast in a 4:3 aspect ratio, but has since been
broadcast in a 16:9 widescreen format.
The green 'G', blue 'PG' and red 'SPG' graphic/DOG below are usually seen on the lower right or
upper left corner of the screen during the entire show.
General Patronage (“G”)[edit]

Suitable for all ages. Material for television, which in the judgment of the Board does not contain
anything unsuitable for children.
It appears in most home shopping blocks, newscasts, documentaries, education, and religion-
oriented programming.
A pictogram advisory accompanied by full-screen written verbal advisory to the effect that the
program is classified as “General Patronage” shall be broadcast for at least 10 seconds immediately
before the opening credits of the particular television material classified as such.
Parental Guidance / Patnubay at Gabay (“PG”)[edit]

Parental guidance suggested. Material for television, which, in the judgment of the Board, may
contain some adult material that may be permissible for children to watch but only under the
guidance and supervision of a parent or adult.
The television program classified as “PG” must, in the judgment of the Board, meet the following
criteria:
 1. Theme – More serious issues may be tackled but the treatment must be suitable to children
below 13 years old.
2. Language – Very mild swear words only shall be allowed. Use of a strong expletive in a
sexual context or sexually-based expletives shall not be allowed. Neither shall prolonged
and/or successive use of expletives be allowed.
3. Nudity – Occasional natural, non-sexual nudity, is permissible.
4. Sex – Graphic depiction of sexual activity shall not be permitted. Sexual activity may be
implied but with no details shown.
5. Violence – There should be no glamorization of weapons and crimes. No detail of fighting or
other dangerous techniques. No detail or prolonged showing of violence or suffering.
6. Horror – Scary sequences must be mild and brief.
7. Drugs – There may only be implied depiction of prohibited drugs and/or substances or their
use provided it does not condone, encourage or glamorize drug and/or substance use and it
should be necessary to the theme and characterization.
A pictogram advisory accompanied by full-screen written and verbal advisory to the effect that the
program is classified as “Parental Guidance” shall be broadcast for at least 10 seconds immediately
before the opening credits of the particular television material classified as such.
Strong Parental Guidance / Striktong Patnubay at Gabay (“SPG”)[edit]

Stronger and more vigilant parental guidance is suggested. Programs classified as “SPG” may
contain more serious topic and theme, which may not be advisable for children to watch except
under the very vigilant guidance and presence of a parent or an adult.
The television program classified as “SPG” must still fall within the parameters of existing Parental
Guidance classification rating. However, to merit the issuance of an “SPG” rating, the gravity of the
material must, in the judgment of the Board, be leaning towards the maximum allowable for Parental
Guidance rating. In determining the proper classification rating, the Board shall consider the
purpose, genre, and time slot of the program as well as the treatment and depiction of attendant
factors such as, but not limited to: Theme (Tema), Language (Lenggwahe), Violence (Karahasan),
Sex (Sekswal), Horror and Drugs (Droga).
In the exercise of its judgment, the Board shall take due consideration of balancing the interest of the
State to protect the welfare of the youth with the interest of the broadcast networks to freedom of
expression.
A pictogram advisory accompanied by a full-screen written advisory with voice over to the effect that
the program is classified as “Strong Parental Guidance” shall be broadcast for at least 20 seconds,
immediately before the opening credits and midway in the full airing of the particular television
material classified as such. The full-screen advisory shall specifically declare the content descriptors
pertinent to the program being shown, such as but not limited to: Theme (Tema), Language
(Lenggwahe), Violence (Karahasan), Sex (Sekswal), Horror and Drugs (Droga).
The SPG rating was implemented on February 9, 2012.[8]
Disapproved for Airing on Television ("X")[edit]
Any television program that does not conform to the “G”, “PG”, and “SPG” classification shall be
disapproved for television broadcast. The material shall be disapproved for television broadcast if, in
the judgment of the Board applying contemporary Filipino cultural values as standard, it is
objectionable for being immoral, indecent, contrary to law and/or good customs, injurious to the
prestige of the Republic of the Philippines or its people, or with a dangerous tendency to encourage
the commission of violence, or of a wrong, or crime, such as but not limited to:

1. The work depicts in a patently lewd, offensive, or demeaning manner, excretory functions,
and sexual conduct such as sexual intercourse, masturbation and exhibition of the genitals.
2. The work clearly constitutes an attack against any race, creed or religion.
3. The work condones or encourages the use of illegal drugs and substances.
4. The work tends to undermine the faith and confidence of the people in their government
and/or duly constituted authorities.
5. The work glorifies criminals or condones crimes.
6. The work is libelous or defamatory to the good name and reputation of any person, whether
living or dead.
7. The work may constitute contempt of court of a quasi-judicial tribunal, or may pertain to
matters, which are subjudicial in nature.
All programs shown by the television channels are reviewed and classified by the said board. The
board may suspend, reject or cancel programs, but cannot revoke broadcast licenses.
