Enchanted Kingdom chairman and president Mario Mamon told CNN Philippines were 'flooded' with ticket requests for this weekend — the first one with minors allowed to set foot in their premises.
Enchanted Kingdom finally reopened its doors to the public, with children now in the mix of their customers just in time for the holidays.
These unfortunate developments — which both occurred during their 25th anniversary — set back Enchanted Kingdom's future plans for at least three years, he said. "We really had to dig deep in our pockets. And I'm proud to say we did not lay off anybody, but we had to give them very minimal working time," recounted Mamon, adding they allowed workers to take on part-time jobs in other businesses as well to help them make ends meet.
