After a long standing controversy, `Barbie` due to its controversial map scene got banned in Vietnam but will be getting released in the Philippines. However, the scene is likely to get blurred.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Philippines` Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTPCB) said in a letter made public Wednesday that they had "exhausted all possible resources to arrive at this decision," having consulted foreign affairs officials and legal experts. But after "meticulous" scrutiny of the film, the censors decided there was "no basis to ban the film." In a separate letter to a local Senator, the MTPCB has requested the studio executives to blur out part of the map scene to ensure that viewers in the country don`t "misinterpret" the sequence.
