MANILA, Philippines — Following a request from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has pulled out the screening of Sony action movie "Uncharted" in Philippine cinemas.

 

In a press release issued Wednesday, the DFA said the MTRCB responded favorably to its request to reevaluate and pull out the movie starring Tom Holland.

 

Citing a scene showing China's illegal nine-dash map claim over the South China Sea, the DFA said the scene is contrary to national interest.
