Hi! I am requesting for the memo or rule that governs the senior citizen discount for Hotel rooms. When we travel as a family, we book our hotel under either parents' names. But there' are differences on how the senior discount is applied to our hotel stays in diff areas. In Metro Manila, Cebu, Ilo-ilo, and Palawan, the hotels and resorts apply the senior discount to the room whether we (my sister and I) stay with our parents or not. but in Region 8 they divide the price of the room by the number occupants then give the senior disc to the portion of the seniors only. is that correct?
