Snuffing out smut
Civic groups, celebs, MTRCB launch anti-porn youth arm
(Oct. 24, 2005 Press Release) THE COALITION for Decency and Morality (CODE M), a media-watch anti-smut network, together with celebrities and other civic groups, launched its youth group on Oct. 15 at the Siena Hall of Siena College, Quezon City.
Around 300 young participants attended the first anniversary celebration event of CODE M. The Coalition spearheaded the call for the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to suspend the TV “live show” Pinoy Big Brother, after airing objectionable scenes in its early episodes.
“Children now are exposed to violence and sex even in prime time TV shows. These are shows that shouldn’t be aired at all in TV since they can be very accessible to kids, and the parents may not always be around to guide them,” said actress-athlete Mikaela “Mikee” Cojuangco-Jaworski, spokesperson of the Southeast Asian Foundation for Children and Television. Mikee lamented the demise of family-oriented and educational programs that used to dominate mainstream media. Her Foundation is known for awarding the “Anak TV seal” to quality child-friendly TV programs.

Television would air anything if it promises to bring sponsors.
