The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has rated several films set to screen this Black Saturday, with five titles approved for PG (Parental Guidance), meaning children under 13 may watch with adult supervision.

These include "The King of Kings," an animated Christian film; "Sneaks," a sports comedy about a luxury sneaker; "Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing," based on the mobile game; "Zerobaseone: The First Tour (Timeless World)," a concert film featuring the K-pop group; and "Fatherland," a drama about a young man's search for his father in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, the Filipino-produced "Samahan ng mga Makasalanan," starring David Licauco and Sanya Lopez, received an R-13 rating.

Also showing are R-16 films "Sinner," a supernatural action-horror with Michael B. Jordan, and "Warfare," a war drama based on real events in Iraq. The MTRCB encourages the public to choose age-appropriate films for the week's viewing.

As Filipinos travel to and from various provinces this Holy Week, MTRCB also reminds Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) operators and drivers that only "G" (General Patronage) and PG-rated content are allowed for exhibition inside PUVs.

This ensures that content remains appropriate and has no negative impact on minors traveling with their families.
