PG 13 - its part of the The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board - is the government agency responsible for rating television and film for the Philippines. Recently, the MTRCB was given the additional task of rating optical media (video tapes, VCDs, DVDs, etc.). It is under the Office of the President. The MTRCB is composed of the chairman, vice-chairman and 30 board members. Each one holds office for a term of one year but may be reappointed after the expiration of his/her term.

Unlike other organizations worldwide, the MTRCB does not rate video games. This is due to the fact that the Philippines does not manufacture video games, since virtually all video games are imported, with almost all of it coming from the United States. Because of that, ratings from the Entertainment Software Rating Board are seen as the de facto standard for video game ratings in the Philippines. The MTRCB also does not rate literature, unlike some other organizations.

The MTRCB is also known to rate films differently from the rest, an example of which is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire giving it a rating of G (all ages accepted), while other countries gave it a PG-13 or even an R-13.

The MTRCB utilizes the following ratings system for movies:

* G or GP - General patronage. All ages admitted.
* PG-13 - Parental Guidance. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
* R-13 - Strictly for persons 13 years and over
* R - Strictly for persons 18 years and over
* X - Not for public viewing

* The PG-7 (between GP and PG-13), parental guidance for children below seven years old was phased out.

A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
