"Another example is the incident in the Philippines where Voltes V was refused broadcast because it was considered a 'militant animation'. The thought of "Voltes V" being banned is painful, because the anime illuminates the truth about oppression. It is such a high-quality work and I did not expect it to cause such problems overseas. I guess I just said it was itchy. The battle against tyranny is still going on somewhere. I would like people all over the world to take a look at Choudenji Machine Voltes V once again. No, they should definitely watch it."
Fandom Nod: Mitsuko Horie mentions that she knows Voltes V is big in the Philippines, and has been to the Philippines and Hong Kong to perform it's theme song live. (page 234).
