Ano Palabas?
About
What the site is
Ano Palabas? is an independent guide to what's playing in cinemas and what series or movie titles are worth checking next. It brings together local showtimes, movie metadata, ratings, posters, and streaming discovery in one place for viewers in the Philippines.
Why it exists
The honest origin story: finding showtimes across Metro Manila, Cavite, and Rizal is genuinely annoying, and keeping track of what to watch across cinema and streaming apps is not much better. Ano Palabas? is meant to be the one-tab shortcut for that research.
How the data works
Showtimes are sourced directly from each cinema chain's website and updated daily. Movie and series pages may also combine that with third-party metadata so listings are easier to scan. Ano Palabas? is not operated by any cinema chain or streaming platform; it is an independent guide that tries to make fragmented information easier to browse.
Data sources and attribution
Cinema showtimes come from cinema chain websites. Movie and series metadata, ratings, posters, logos, and some streaming availability information may come from TMDB. Ano Palabas? is an independent guide for Philippine viewers and does not present itself as an official cinema-chain, streaming-platform, or TMDB property.
This website uses TMDB and the TMDB APIs but is not endorsed, certified, or otherwise approved by TMDB.
TMDB-related licensing and commercial-use questions are tracked as a separate compliance follow-up as the site's ad and monetization setup evolves.
What it covers
Greater Manila today, with approved cinemas across Metro Manila, Cavite, and Rizal. That includes SM, Ayala, Robinsons, Vista, and independent cinemas, plus movie and series detail pages that help connect theatrical releases with broader watchlist and streaming research.
Who built it
Built by a Manila-based developer who got tired of checking four cinema websites every Friday and wanted a cleaner way to track what to watch next.
