Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice VIP Screening by Lamudi Philippines and Megaworld

As one of the 8 contributors of this blog, I get to be invited in events but I seldom go because I choose which one that I really like.  Lamudi Philippines and Megaworld's  private screening of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice tonight Resorts World Manila's Newport Cinema is a must attend event for me. Being a comic and novel book fanatic since elementary, I love and breath the stories of all superheroes, and yes, the villains too. No spoilers here, just go and see the movie.

Prior to the screening Lamudi Philppines  and MyProperty.ph Managing Director, Jacqueline van den Ende, talked about their partnership with Megaworld and the works that Lamudi has accomplished as an online portal for buying properties.
