which tend to undermine the faith and
confidence of the people in their government and/or duly constituted

which glorify criminals or condone crimes;

the market for violence or pornography;

(6) Films
which tend to abet the traffic in and use
of prohibited drugs;

objectionable and contrary to the letter and spirit of Proclamation No.

Any violation of this Order shall mean the outright cancellation, withdrawal, and revocation of the permits of the films, the closure of the theatre or theatres involved, as well as the arrest and prosecution of any persons concerned. In the implementation hereof, you shall coordinate with the Department of National Defense and other proper agencies of the government.
This order shall remain effective for the duration of the present national emergency or until otherwise ordered by me or by my duly designated representative.
