Title Source: Supreme Court: MTRCB Exemption Application Process

Law: Mtrcb Memorandum Circular No. 93-024

Decision Date: Nov 22, 1993

Entities seeking exemption from MTRCB review must submit a request to the Chairman, provide recent program episodes for evaluation, and, upon approval, pay a reduced exemption fee to receive a permit for exhibition.

Law Summary

Verification of Registration

The MTRCB checks if the blocktimer or co-producer is duly registered with the Board.

Submission of Program Episodes

If registered, the blocktimer or co-producer is required to submit three recent episodes of the program for review.

Review and Continuous Submission

The MTRCB Board reviews the submitted episodes.
Despite the exemption request, the blocktimer/co-producer must continue to submit their programs for regular review until exemption is granted.

Approval and Payment of Exemption Fee

Upon approval, the Board sends a letter to the program owner notifying them of the exemption approval.
The owner is directed to pay an exemption fee which is 50% of the regular review fees, according to the schedule of fees.
All payments for exemption and its renewals must be made at the MTRCB Office.

Issuance of Exemption Permit

Upon payment completion, the MTRCB issues a letter of Exemption from Review, valid for a fixed period.
This letter serves as the official Permit to Exhibit the program without regular Board review during the exemption period.
