Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Wednesday demanded that the scene in the animated film Abominable, which featured controversial China’s nine-dash line map in the South China Sea, be taken down instead of banning the showing of the movie in local theaters. “Of course they should cut out the offending scene, which will show our displeasure better than if we unconstitutionally ban it as some suggest,” Locsin tweeted on Wednesday. “Do cut out crudely. Maybe interject MTRCB [Movie and Television Review and Classification Board)] with a hectoring lecture. Then cartoon goes on.”
