Gosh, thank you for this. Gateway Mall had been very notorious in demanding for entrance fees. 50 cents per ticket for regular

cinemas and a rough estimate of P150 for 3D films (thats when I watched Thor). They said its for the popcorn and drinks.

Now, after reading this: I am finally informed that such is illegal. I wish they could be furnished a copy of this so that they would be

informed as well. By the way, I was in Resorts World last Wednesday night and the lady at the counter informed me that

Newport Ultra Cinema 1 requires a P250 or 50% off for food and drinks inside the theater. I wish they be furnished a copy of

this Memorandum Circular for them to be informed too. Good job guys! Very well done Madame Grace. ^_ Keep it up! Lets

do this! ^_^
