Finance & Legal Landbank

Believe it or not we actually got a refund from Noreco of 4,500 php.
They gave it in the form of a landbank cheque, as there is a landbank branch close to the noreco office we went there to cash it, they told us there was a charge of 100php to cash it unless we go to the main landbank, as the main one is on EJ blanco drive we declined that option and paid the 100php.
This is the first time we have had to cash a cheque so my question is do other banks charge to cash their own cheques unless you go to the main branch ?
