Robinsons and KCC Malls on a race to open the first 3D Cinema in the region
Two weeks ago, Bariles reported that Robinsons GenSan Movieworld is going 3D soon for one of its cinemas. (Read report by CLICKING HERE.)
A few days after that blog post came out, the GenSan Blogger met up with a KCC Mall of GenSan insider who remarked, “Sorry Bariles but Robinsons is just on the planning stage. Our own KCC Cinemas has one 3D-equipped movie house already and it is ready to use anytime!”

That revelation floored Bariles who then tried to fish out more info from his friend, “Then when are you using it? How come you are not operating it yet?”
Unlike Robinsons Movieworld, he added, which will only be changing its projector for its assigned 3D cinema, KCC will be overhauling the whole cinema, making it a more pleasurable 3D-moviegoing experience for the generals.
When pressed for the opening date, he replied, “We will try to open GenSan and the region’s first 3D cinema before the end of this 2nd quarter.”
Wow, is all Bariles could say after trying to digest all the good things he has just heard. Competition really brings out the best in all parties concerned with the people of Soccsksargen benefiting the most.
This morning, when Bariles opened his email, he got this jpeg file from the mall from the farther end of Lagao Road, courtesy of a Robinsons GenSan insider. This is the picture attachment below….

Along with the picture above is this piece of news from the Robinsons insider:
Hi Bariles!
We are running SHREK FOREVER AFTER 3D on May 21 at Robinsons Movieworld Cinema.
Spread the word…..
































Bariles is a Filipino word for “Tuna”, the primary source of income of the people of General Santos City which hosts 6 of the Philippines’ 8 tuna canneries and more than 80% of its tuna processing plants.
