Barbie will still be shown in PH. The 9-dash line is not on that map. In fact, half of Asia is not on that map.

MTRCB ALLOWS COMMERCIAL RELEASE OF ‘BARBIE’ WITH PG RATING

JUST IN: Official statement of Movie and Television Review and Classification Board on the controversial #BarbieTheMovie, which will push through with its July 19 release date in the Philippines.

“Having conducted two review sessions, thorough deliberations, and consultations with relevant government agencies, including a legal expert on the West Philippine Sea, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has given the film “Barbie” a Parental Guidance (“PG”) rating, which means viewers below thirteen (13) years old must be accompanied by a parent or supervising adult.

“Considering the context by which the cartoonish map of the character “Weird Barbie” was portrayed in the film, the Review Committee is convinced that the contentious scene does not depict the “nine-dash line.” Instead, the map portrayed the route of the make-believe journey of Barbie from Barbie Land to the “real world,” as an integral part of the story.

“Rest assured that the Board has exhausted all possible resources in arriving at this decision as we have not hesitated in the past to sanction filmmakers/ producers/distributors for exhibiting the fictitious “nine-dash line” in their materials.

“The Board sternly warns all filmmakers, producers, and distributors that it will not hesitate to sanction and/or ban films that exhibit the “nine-dash line” for being contrary to law, pursuant to Section 3(c)(d) of Presidential Decree No. 1986, the Republic Act No. 9522, otherwise known as the Philippine Baselines Law, and the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s South China Sea Arbitration Award, whose anniversary we, as a nation, are celebrating today.”

@AtinAngWPS @Hongskrrrt that’s not the point po- the Barbie lines were not even drawn remotely to the same shape of the 9-dash line or in the same region, also yes, there are other countries in Asia with territorial disputes… and the map is intentionally childlike and unserious in many ways

[Juanito F. Reyes @WinstonGarfiel3]

@Hongskrrrt and where is the ph, china, malaysia, or vietnam??????

JUST IN: MTRCB allows the screening of movie “Barbie” in Philippine theaters. According to a letter sent to Sen. Francis Tolentino, the MTRCB said it believes that there’s no basis to ban the film “as there is no clear nor outright depiction of the ‘nine-dash line’" | @HanaBordey

@Bolverk15 Where did this Barbie world map bad touch Vietnam and the Philippines? Cause either they have a Chinese edited version that scene that shows the nine dash lines, or they're seeing patterns where there might be non 😳

@saltsburn dramatic luh

[Juanito F. Reyes @WinstonGarfiel3]

@NicaSU97 @FilmUpdates did you see the actual photo? the dashes are completely misplaced and you can't even identify ph, cn, vn, or malaysia. Asia was portrayed as just one oblong shape, it isn't the "9-dash line".

@inquirerdotnet Totoo. Bakit sa Barbie movie maiinis ang mga senador, bakit di' sa China nalang?! Doon nila iboka yang galit nila.

Wala na ngang Eras Tour, ngayon may posibilidad pang walang Barbie screening. Gusto atang ma-entertain lang tayong mga Pinoy sa clownery ng gobyerno, wtf!

[łuke @lipaxagb]

[Chang Liang @WitchBeach69]

@jauhnetienne Ung senators na sensitive at nakiki "ban barbie" pero deep inside tuta naman ng China

[Jauhn Etienne Villaruel @jauhnetienne]

Sen. Risa Hontiveros on the Barbie movie showing China's refuted 9-dash line:

"The movie is fiction, and so is the nine-dash line. At the minimum, our cinemas should include an explicit disclaimer that the nine-dash line is a figment of China’s imagination," she says.

@qarloscuiapo @Watdahel_MarceI Tbf it seems like an overreaction because the map shown in the trailer has the dash lines but not in asia and its also a crudely drawn kids map
