President Rodrigo Duterte recently appointed comedian Dennis Padilla as board member of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
Padilla’s new job includes censoring material that in the judgment of the board are objectionable for being immoral, indecent, contrary to law or good customs, or injurious to the prestige of the country. Prior to his new government job, Padilla was a municipal councilor of Caloocan City in 2001. In 2013 elections, he lost his bid for Board Member in his home province in Laguna.
