Responding to the X rating the Movie and Television Review Classification Board gave her upcoming film “Bliss,” lead star Iza Calzado is appealing to the review board to reconsider.
“Mawalang galang lang po sa MTRCB, nais kong lang pong maliwanagan kung ano yung standards natin ng X na pelikula. Bakit yung ibang mga foreign films na mas grabe pa ang mga eksena puwedeng maipalabas sa atin, at ang ‘Bliss’ hindi puwede? Hindi naman po porn ang pelikula namin. Sana kapag napalabas ang pelikula, tayo ang humusga,” she said.
“I’d like to believe that my director—the award winning director of Heneral Luna—is a responsible director. Sana the film [would] be given a chance to be seen by the Filipino audience. Sana rin, this opens a discussion on our film rating standards,” Iza said in a statement furnished to InterAksyon by her manager, Noel Ferrer.
For her portrayal of the film’s ill-fated lead character Jane Ciego, Iza won her first international acting recognition when she was honored with the Yakushi Pearl Award for Best Performer in the Osaka Asian Film Festival in Japan earlier this month.
Ferrer ascribed the X rating to “explicit nudity” and told InterAksyon that the MTRCB committee’s report credited the nudity to Iza and another actress, Adrienne Vergara, who portrays a menacing nurse.
The X rating means the MTRCB deems “Bliss” unfit for public exhibition. However, the producers can appeal the rating and submit the film for reevaluation.
In most cases, producers are forced to edit out the scenes deemed offensive by the review board which might then give the film an R-18 or R-16 rating upon second or third review.
But Iza’s appeal suggests that she prefers “Bliss” to be shown in its entirety and not watered down with further editing.
In an earlier interview with InterAksyon, the film’s director, Jerrold Tarog, declined to discuss the details of the issue just yet.
For its part, the film’s producer TBA Studios furnished InterAksyon with this press statement.
“We understand and respect the decision of the MTRCB reviewing committee regarding the film ‘Bliss.’ We are currently going through the process of submitting an appeal for a second review and hope for a more favorable result.”

Just Because He Acts to be Like the Good Choice
When Pretty Star (PS) finally found Her Match (HM), her camp rejoiced, as finally, the fans finally agreed on the right leading man for her. Moreover, HM’s following grew as they also found PS a good partner for HM. Project after project, the couple started to win more fans and praises. The best part is that each drew the best out of each other in acting. The partnership was full of potential.
Unfortunately, PS and HM are on a bumpy road. While their camps are excited for both, Controversial Boy (CB) just cannot be kicked out of the picture. PS and CB hit it off, and at these times when friends are hard to come by, PS could not just dismiss CB outright even though that is what her camp is hinting at.
During one gathering, the camp of PS made sure that CB would not be invited to make sure the night would be perfect for PS and HM. The camp of PS does not like CB because of his various intrigues that have casted doubt on his preference. Naturally, CB has denied all allegations on such issue. However, PS had other things in mind, as she secretly invited CB. When CB arrived, the camp of PS was disgusted, but could not do anything. Still, the night went smoothly, as photos and videos showed PS and HM enjoying themselves. These images were obviously made to delight fans.
As the camp of PS only has good things to say about HM, the boy has his own secret that could definitely lead to ballistic reactions. While press releases seem to push for a real relationship to happen between PS and HM, the heart of HM might not agree to that strategy. Allegedly, HM has his heart and mind set for a Non-Showbiz girl (NS). Not being part of showbiz, NS could easily escape the lights and the intrigue. Of course, once fans find out, NS would be bashed and the camp of PS would be dismayed. However, HM is much attracted to NS, who lives in a posh village east of the city and is a daughter of a businessman. So much for the new partnership between PS and HM, as it might turn out to be reel only.
