Unfortunately for me I had a fever so I only got to go to GMA on Monday. Basically the whole day I segmented Sir Rolly's tapes. The shows he handles are Love City a I Love You. For Love City, I segment them into four parts while for I Love You, I segment them into 3 parts. This amounts to around 4-5 tapes for Monday. Sir Rolly would then insert the Title Cards where I have indicated the possible time gaps. The MTRCB team outside the office is often consulted by the Editing team as to whether or not a certain scene may be shown on air. I Love You is a Korean comedy show but they discuss such subjects as abortion, divorce, pornography and other subjects which, at least for the MTRCB, are sensitive to the Philippine audience. So here is where regulation occurs and decisions are made on the spot. I see then how these handful of people get to set the ideologies for the mass audience, who unknowingly watch a 'filtered' episode. Some scenes are obviously not fit for airing, in the case of the movies they edit for SNBO or other movie specials, such as torrid sex scenes or gore. But when it comes to topics, take abortion for example, it really then relies on the call of the MTRCB representative. But in reality, the topics featured are dealt with sensitivity and actually offer different views on the subject and do not in any way encourage the audience to get abortions or get a divorce. So when they edit it out, we are deprived of getting different views and stuck with one.
nice insight!
