HB04503: AN ACT AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8370, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE "CHILDREN'S TELEVISION ACT OF 1997"
This bill recognizes the influence of television on children and seeks to ensure that the National Council for Children's Television (NCCT) receives informed and prudent advice in formulating policies related to children's broadcast programs. It proposes amending the composition of the NCCT Advisory Committee to include representatives from various organizations with relevant expertise, such as the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, and the National1 Telecommunications Commission.
The addition of a representative from the National Youth Commission to the Advisory Committee will ensure that the youth's perspective is considered in formulating policies for children's television programs. This will help create a more comprehensive and balanced approach to regulating children's television content.
