Lawmaker wants ‘Abominable’ banned in PH movie houses

He added that showing the movie on Philippine soil will have a “negative bearing on our integrity as a country and a nation.”

The movie became controversial as one of its scenes featured the South China Sea showing China’s nine-dash line claim. Vietnam has pulled the animated film from its theaters because of the said scene.Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. proposed to “cut out” the said contentious scene and even suggested a “universal boycott of all @Dreamworks productions from here on.”

“No less than our Foreign Affairs Secretary has called for its boycott. Why not just ban it? The MTRCB can very well do that consistent with its mandate,” Fortun said.

“Had they been aware, they might have exercised more prudence and acted accordingly,” the lawmaker said. /jpv
