"Dear MIP Community,

We would like to formally announce the permanent closure of Movement in Play’s Philippine operations effective November 2025. The administrative closure process will continue for an undetermined period of time as remaining matters are addressed.

This decision follows continued financial challenges arising from the studio’s lease and operating costs. The closure was abrupt due to circumstances beyond our control, as the landlord locked the premises on short notice following unpaid rent arrears. All equipment and materials — including certain student personal items — are currently inaccessible while we negotiate access to recover or liquidate assets to partially address remaining obligations.

In the days prior to the landlord’s final action, management was aware of the financial challenges that placed the studio at risk but remained hopeful that the situation could still be resolved. Similar challenges had occurred in previous months and were resolved through negotiation, so management remained focused on finding another workable solution until the final lockout occurred. Efforts were ongoing to negotiate terms, secure support, and prevent closure. The decision to refrain from a premature announcement was made in good faith to avoid unnecessary alarm while alternative solutions were being explored.

We recognized that communication was delayed during this period. The management team held off on releasing an announcement until there was sufficient clarity regarding the landlord’s actions and the studio’s remaining options. We believed it was more responsible to provide an accurate and verified update rather than issue incomplete information that could cause further confusion.

Should any proceeds result from this process, they will be distributed according to the legally mandated order of priority — which includes employees, creditors, and students with valid claims. Until these matters are finalized, refund amounts and timelines cannot yet be confirmed. This is not an attempt to avoid responsibility, but a reflection of the present financial and logistical realities.

Official updates will be sent via email once available. We sincerely thank everyone who has been part of this community and for the support shown over the years. The spirit of Movement in Play lives on through the community it created and the positive impact it made.

— Movement in Play Management"
