Senator Robin Padilla is seeking the ban and condemnation of the US film “Plane” starring Gerard Butler which he said puts the Philippines in bad light.
In a manifestation seconded by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, Padilla called on the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board to ban the public showing of the film, saying that to allow a foreign film to present a bad image of the country in the international stage is “unacceptable.”“Ginoong Pangulo, hindi po dapat ito tanggapin. Sana po, nakikiusap po tayo sa ating MTRCB na sana po sa mga ganitong ganap kumakatok tayo sa opisina nila, di po dapat ito pinapalabas sa Pilipinas.
While filming of the movie was made in Puerto Rico, the setting of the movie was in Jolo, Sulu in southern Philippines where a band of militias supposedly attacked the passengers of an airplane that made an emergency landing in the area. Buttler played the principal role of pilot who aimed to rescue his passengers out of the rebel-infested island.
