Partnering up with Cebu Pacific and Go Rewards, GoTyme Bank brought out the big guns with their experimental 3D mapping video technology. And when I say big guns, I mean an actual airplane! They mapped video footage onto the airplane, runway, and even water, creating a mind-boggling display that had everyone's jaws on the floor.

Guests couldn't stop raving about the experience. Miss Trans Global 2020, Mela Habijan, was in complete awe. "It was so creative and well-thought-out. This is just the beginning of more incredible innovations to come. With GoTyme Bank, Cebu Pacific, and Go Rewards making travel more accessible and fun, I can't wait to explore the world again!"

Even video creator Miss Nate was caught off guard. "I've seen the plane at Palacio before, but this was on a whole other level. It was such a fun and refreshing way to spice up the atmosphere of the event. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!"

So, if you think you've seen it all, think again. GoTyme Bank just set the bar higher than ever before. Who knows what kind of mind-blowing technology we'll see next? But one thing's for sure, GoTyme Bank is on the cutting edge, and they're not afraid to push the boundaries.

The best part? JC didn't expect GMA to accept the song for release, so it was initially planned to be uploaded to YouTube for fans to hear. But the Kapuso Network gave the green light, which is a massive relief for JC. "Sobrang saya ko po kasi hindi ko po inexpect na tatanggapin ng GMA ‘yung awit namin," he said. "Talagang worth it ‘yung pagod, hirap, at oras sa paggawa ng awit na ito."

And as for the song itself, JC explained the choice of title, “Idolo” was because fans have idolized April Boy Regino and the April Boys. They’re the real stars of the show. JC believes that the fans deserve to have a song dedicated to them, and he’s happy to be the one to offer it.

So, mark your calendars for February 24, and prepare for a wave of emotions as JC Regino and the April Boys' 'Idolo' become available on all digital streaming platforms worldwide. And as JC continues to write and create music, we can only hope to see more heartfelt songs that will touch our hearts and souls. Keep on shining, JC!

This was conferred at the 15th Ani ng Dangal Awards of the NCCA, led by President Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos last February 22, 2023, at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacañan Palace.

These accomplishments are not just for Jeric but also for the entire production team, especially for Benjie Austria who provided support to Jeric and their movie. In an interview with Benjie Austria, "Of course, I am happy and overwhelmed that he received international recognition as the best actor in Harlem, New York, so thank you to the government for acknowledging this through NCCA since this is a first venture project under Bentria productions."

This is a great honor not only for Jeric but also for the entire country. The Dangal of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts pays tribute to artists who demonstrate their skill and talent in the field of arts and culture.

"Broken Blooms" is a first venture project of BenTria Productions and stars Jeric alongside veteran actors such as Therese Malvar, Boobay, Royce Cabrera, Lou Veloso, and Ms. Jaclyn Jose. Despite the pandemic, their film continues to compete in various international film festivals.

With every success achieved by Filipino artists, not only are they showcasing their excellence but also their production team. These are the people behind the camera who tirelessly work to make a successful movie a reality.

To define about the title, "lagaslas" in Filipino can be describe a gush of water or can be used as a sense of sensuality or eroticism, as it implies a slow, steady, and tantalizing flow or drip.

"Lagaslas" tells the story of Edmar, a young man played by newcomer VR Relosa, who becomes infatuated with his neighbor Karisma (played by Manang) after catching her bathing. What begins as a simple peeping habit soon turns into a full-blown obsession, as Edmar becomes fixated on Karisma's naked body.

To his surprise, Karisma doesn't get angry when she finds out about Edmar's voyeuristic tendencies. Instead, she invites him to explore her body more intimately, leading to a series of steamy sexual encounters.

Edmar believes he is the luckiest man in the barrio, but his world comes crashing down when he discovers that Karisma's stepfather has been doing the same for years. Faced with this shocking revelation, Edmar must decide what to do next.

The movie is directed by Christopher Novabos, which is crafted to balance eroticism with storytelling. With Manang Medina's captivating performance and a plot that keeps audiences guessing until the very end, this is a film that is not to be missed. Watch it exclusively on Vivamax.

According to Pon, she had an enjoyable experience playing the female lead, embracing the intricacies needed to portray her character convincingly. "It was definitely a new experience for me, and I'd do it again if I got the chance," she shares.
