Good day! At the end of the "Classification ratings" sections of the Wikipedia page of the MTRCB, there is this sentence which states: "MTRCB cannot censor, rate, and use its power in films and shows presented in the University of the Philippines Film Center and its various grounds and venues." This sentence has been marked as lacking in a citation. If your agency could give an answer as to whether this is true, or to a link to the legislation that confirms this statement, it would help in confirming the authenticity of this statement. Thank you for your time.
