The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) clarified that Darryl Yap's film 'The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma' is not under review because its distributor, PinoyFlix, has not submitted the required documents.

These missing requirements include a Certificate or Clearance of No Pending Criminal, Civil, or Administrative Case from the Regional Trial Court, the Department of Justice, and the Office of the City Prosecutor.

The MTRCB formally notified PinoyFlix about these missing requirements.

Following the clarification, director Darryl Yap questioned the movie's 'fate' and stated he was not asked to submit additional requirements for his previous films.

The MTRCB warned that misinformation or false narratives seeking to discredit the board and mislead the public will be dealt with by law.

Yap's movie is reportedly set for theatrical release on February 5.

MTRCB chairperson Diorella Sotto is a niece of actor Vic Sotto, who is pursuing a cyberlibel case against Yap for linking him to the rape and death of Paloma.
