MTRCB classifies “Wicked: For Good” as PG

THE Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has classified “Wicked: For Good” with a PG (Parental Guidance) ratin.
A PG rating means that the film may contain themes, language or scenes that require the
guidance of a parent or adult for younger viewers.
“While the movie is generally appropriate for viewers of all ages, we encourage parents and supervising adults to provide guidance to ensure that children understand the film’s content,” said MTRCB Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto.
“Wicked: For Good” is a musical fantasy, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba.
It tells the story of the future “Wicked Witch of the West” and her relationship with the “Good Witch of the North.”
The film is the second installment of the two-part feature adaptation of the Broadway musical.
Also classified as PG is the Philippine-Korean produced film, “Finding Santos,” starring Jang Theo, known for his appearance on Netflix’s hit South Korean dating show “Single’s Inferno,” alongside members of P-pop girl group YGIG.
The movie commemorates the 76th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and the Philippines, as well as the 75th anniversary of the Philippine military’s participation in the Korean War.
Meanwhile, the action-thriller, “Wildcat,” starring Kate Beckinsale, is rated R-13 for audiences 13 years old and above.
The film follows a former black ops team that reunites to pull off a desperate heist and save the life of an eight-year-old girl.
Two Filipino classic movies, “Karnal” (1983), a drama-horror, and “Sa Aking Mga Kamay” (1996), a psychological thriller, both written by National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee and digitally restored by ABS-CBN Film Restoration, received R-18 ratings, due to mature themes and scenes not suitable for younger audiences.
