Television Rating Advisory Bumpers

(October 6, 2011-)

Bumper: On a white background, the letters, "M-T-R-C-B", flip themselves to the front, whilst the film reel is emitting ribbons, showing blue, green, and red, respectively. It then rises to the top. The RGB colored ribbons form into place, then a colored rounded rectangle (used to represent a television screen) with the initials, flips thrice horizontally (except for the SPG variant, as it only flips once), then faces the viewer. Their respective phrases (all in caps) fade in below.

The initials, the color of the rectangle, and the phrase depend on what ratings they give to the program:

Color/Initials: G - Green | PG - Blue | SPG - Red

Phrases:

The "G" rating doesn't have the Tagalog version of the phrase.

G - "GENERAL PATRONAGE", "FOR ALL VIEWERS"

PG - "PATNUBAY AT GABAY" (Parental Guidance)
SPG - " "STRIKTONG" PATNUBAY AT GABAY" (Strict/Strong Parental Guidance)

Variant(s): A shortened variant exists, which the logo is sped up.

FX/SFX: A very nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A five-note piano theme followed by an announcer.

The script depends on what ratings they give to the program:

G - "Ang susunod na programa ay rated G, ito ay pwede sa lahat ng manonood." (The following program is rated G. It is suitable for all audiences.)
PG - "Ang susunod na progama ay rated PG, ito ay nangangailangan ng patnubay at gabay ng magulang, para sa mga batang manonood." (This program is rated PG. It contains scenes which may not be suitable for very young audiences. Parental Guidance is advised.)
SPG - "Ang progamang ay rated SPG, striktong patnubay at gabay ng magulang ang kailangan. Maaaring may maseselang tema, lenguahe, karahasan, seksual, horror, o droga, na hindi angkop sa mga bata." (This program is rated SPG. It contains scenes with Themes, Language, Violence, Sex, Horror, and Drugs, which may not be suitable for younger audiences. Strong Parental Guidance is advised.)

Music/Sounds Variant(s): A shortened variant exists, where the announcer is talking faster than usual.

Availability: Common. It is found on all television stations in the Philippines.

Editor's Note: None.
