Estrada warns violators of Eddie Garcia Law

SENATE President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada warned television and movie production outfits against violating the Eddie Garcia Law amid reports that some still conduct 20 to 22 hours of shooting.

In a statement on Monday, Estrada said the long shooting hours were 'a blatant violation' of Section 9 of Republic Act (RA) 11996. The TV and cinema production firms could be held liable pending the issuance of the law's Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
