Philippine Cinemas: Going to the Movies in Manila



This sign at SM mall cinemas says so much about Filipino moviegoing habits. Why else would they have to spell out that these types of food are not allowed in the theaters if no one has tried to bring them in?

I admit my family almost never goes to the movies without taking in some munchies. The all time favorites are, of course, popcorn, chips and chocolates. We've also been known to bring in hamburgers, hotdogs, nachos and pizza. But that's as far as we go.

I can still imagine having chicken nuggets in the theater, but regular friend chicken would be too messy. And imagine if people spill the gravy on the seats. That goes for pasta, noodles and soup, too.

Pinoys just love to eat. Anytime. Anywhere. Everywhere.
