MANILA, Philippines – The uncut version of Fifty Shades Darker received an R-18 rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

The original US version of the movie was approved, which means it will be screened in the Philippines with no cuts, blurs, and blacked-out parts.
