Centrio Cinemas once again rolled out the red carpet for its loyal block screening patrons and cineastes with the 2019 Centrio Mall Cinemas Roadshow last Feb. 28th.
Held at Seda Centrio’s plush Sinamay function room, this year’s roadshow was definitely bigger than the maiden run held a year ago at the same venue. That incidentally was the first ever road show ever held by the Ayala Cinemas chain nationwide.
“We had been treated to similar roadshows by our film distributors so I thought why not do something similar for our loyal movie goers and block screening patrons?” recalls Candice A. Saligumba, Operations Associate Manager-Cinema Operations, Centrio Mall.
This year’s roadshow as attended by a wide cross section of movie goers and groups including martial arts clubs, ad agencies, church relation organizations, civic organizations, school related organizations, medical institutions, telecom companies, among others.

Besides being treated to the full lineup of upcoming films and their target screening dates, this year’s roadshow was expanded to also include the full menu off income generating opportunities for partner organizations besides block screenings such as cinema rentals, screening rates for upcoming events, products and the like, cinema ticket, lobby and counter top advertising.
Judy Teves of the Jesus the Shepherd Community Church said it was their first time to book a block screening although the LCHS Batch 96 to which she also belonged had already had block screenings twice previously and again booked another for this coming May.
“Centrio Cinemas location is easily accessible and their staff is also very accommodating,” she noted.
“We pencil booked for a few movies,” said Joyce Vega, president of JCI Macajalar 24K. “It’s really helpful because we can now plot movies we want to book on our calendars.”
“We can also discuss other movies we didn’t originally plan on booking,”she noted.
