can i watch in manila even i live in val. City? I’m senior citizen wanting free movies but in Val only oct month only to watch not monthly or weekly like in mla
Hello Susan,
As of the moment, the free movies are per city ordinances only. If your ID was issued in Valenzuela, you may only use it within the city cinemas. But based on our research, you can actually use other IDs even if you do not have the city issued one. As long as you have a valid ID that indicates your birthday or age, you can avail discounts and privileges nationwide.
