JUST IN: MTRCB tells senators they want to regulate content on Netflix, other video streaming devices. | via @_katrinadomingo

MTRCB Legal Affairs Division chief Jonathan Presquito: "Stream services like Netflix are video on demand platforms. We have to regulate those platforms. We have to ensure that those materials being shown on those platforms are compliant with MTRCB laws." | via @_katrinadomingo

Presquito: "MTRCB has jurisdiction of that content regardless kung saan mo siya pinalabas. The internet is just a medium. Just because sa internet siya pinalabas, hindi na siya covered ng MTRCB law." | via @_katrinadomingo

Presquito: "Sa Korea, lahat ng content ng Netflix dumadaan sa prior review. We don't want that kind of review. We want an environment of growth. Let's allow streaming services to flourish... but how do we find the balance?" | via @_katrinadomingo

Sen. Koko Pimentel to MTRCB: "Kailangan pag-isipan natin yan... It's either we update our laws to catch up with technology or we enforce our archaic laws and hold back technological progress." | via @_katrinadomingo
