Cinema in Philippines


Philippines - Cebu - Boracay - Baguio - Manila
Cinema in Philippines has a history that can be traced back to the early days of filmmaking in 1897, when a theater owner named Pertierra screened imported moving pictures.

Cinema in Philippines is very popular. This is probably because going to the movies is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment as tickets cost. The increasing production of foreign film especially American films each year as well as the increasing popularity of American films among moviegoers in the Philippines has also shown a apparent growth of the industry. American films with themes of romance, action-adventure and science fiction are hot favorites in the Philippines. Cinema in Philippines cannot be complete without the mention of the Tagalog cinema which almost rivals that of Bombay or Bollywood.
