Gising Na MTRCB!

July 17, 2015 Grimwald 20 Comments

This is just a short translation of one of my previous articles about the MTRCB. Apparently, people want it translated since it seems that there are members of the esteemed Movie and Television Review and Classification Board who can’t even write proper English according to this here by my friend Dominic Alfred so I think I…
