DepEd releases rules for law shielding kids from TV violence | Inquirer News: "According to MTRCB chair Grace Poe Llamanzares, children watch an average of 21 hours of TV per week and are exposed to up to 18,000 scenes of simulated murder by the time they turn 18.  That is equivalent to 1,000 scenes per year or up to three scenes per day. “The modern age has allowed us to recognize that there is a third leg that is so critical in terms of caring for children: the media.  Whatever values, good things we wish to pass on are sometimes removed from the consciousness of young people because of what they hear media, in this case TV,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said."
