Film Development Council of the Philippines (2002-present)
The FDCP was created by Republic Act 9167, “An Act Creating the Film Development Council of the Philippines,[2] Defining its Powers and Functions, Appropriating Funds Therefore, and for Other Purposes”, which was approved by the 12th Congress on June 7, 2002. The FDCP is under the Office of the President of the Philippines. The creation of the FDCP is pursuant to the constitutional guarantee on freedom of expression by which the State, as a policy, recognizes the need to promote and support the development and growth of the local film industry as a medium for the upliftment of aesthetic, cultural and social values for the better understanding and appreciation of the Filipino identity. Republic Act 9167 abolished the Film Development Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. [FDFPI] and the Film Ratings Board [FRB] and transferred all their books, assets, rights, privileges, records, obligations and liabilities to the FDCP. [3]

The FDFPI was established by Executive Order No. 1051 signed on August 8, 1985, by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, which became functional on October 2, 1985, after it was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The same Executive Order ended the Experimental Cinema of the Philippines [ECP]. The Film Ratings Board was established in 1982 by virtue of Executive Order No. 811 signed by President Ferdinand E. Marcos. From 1982 to 1984, it functioned as one of the five modules under the ECP together with the Film Fund, Alternative Cinema, Film Archives, and Manila International Film Festival [MIFF]. It ceased to operate in 1985 when the ECP was abolished. In 1994, a directive from President Fidel V. Ramos revived the FRB, which was placed under the newly-activated FDFPI. The FRB was re-established by President Ramos to encourage the local film industry to make better and higher quality films through amusement tax rebates.[4]

Experimental Cinema of the Philippines (ECP) was established by Executive Order No. 770 signed on January 29, 1982, by PresidentFerdinand E. Marcos, ECP created to promote the growth and development of the local film industry.

It was also mandated to provide financial assistance to select motion pictures through a film fund.[5]
