00:00 Local film producers requested a moratorium on the collection of amusement tax from local governments.
00:07 This is the news of June Veneration.
00:10 Some local film producers and movie industry are helping Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjor Abalos.
00:20 This is to ask for help to solve the problems of the Filipino film industry.
00:25 Just like the 10% amusement tax that is imposed by local governments.
00:30 If there is a tax holiday like this, maybe we can raise the budget of making movies to make it better.
00:38 Because of course, we also have to fight for the products of other countries.
00:43 Our dream is for us to be like Korea, right? But we can't do that without the support of government.
00:48 Filipinos first, they say. Let's put ourselves first.
00:52 If we don't love our industry, maybe we'll be left alone.
00:58 And what about the workers here?
01:00 A film producer allocated the money they earn from making movies.
01:06 For example, if a movie earns P100 million in a box office,
01:11 it reduces the amusement tax by 10%.
01:14 The remaining 90% will be divided by the producer and cinema operator.
01:19 From the remaining 45% to the producer, 5% to 20% of the booking fee will be taken from the distributors.
01:26 And there is also a 12% value-added tax.
01:29 Effectively, for every P100 million, the producer gets approximately P35 to P37 million net.
01:38 Not all movies reach P100 million.
01:41 For the year 2023, most movies will grow from the average of P2 million to P12 million only.
01:50 Secretary Abalos is sure that he will talk to the local chief executives.
01:55 I commit, I will talk personally with all of the mayors of Metro Manila.
02:01 Maybe we can just zero it.
02:03 Let's help them for the next three years so that they can get back on their feet.
02:07 That's what we will ask from all local complement units.
02:12 Abalos, the city of Mandaluyong under his father, Mayor Benjamin Abalos Sr.,
02:18 will support the three-year moratorium on amusement tax for local movies.
02:24 Abalos will also talk about piracy, a problem that movie producers are also facing.
02:30 He says that movie industry in PNP and other government agencies can expect 100% help.
02:36 Stop it. You can't help. You're pitiful to the industry.
02:40 IK GMA Films President and GMA Network SVP, Attorney Annette Gonzon-Valdez,
02:46 the producers are proud of the success of the last Metro Manila Film Festival.
02:52 That's why they are doing things to keep the local movie industry active.
02:57 Filipino movies are part of our arts and culture.
03:01 We have to preserve it, we have to love it,
03:04 and we will do everything so that the Filipino movie industry will not die.
