All Eyes Up: PlayTime Welcomes Its Muse, Heaven Peralejo


PlayTime, the country’s most innovative online entertainment and gaming platform, has found its perfect match in one of today’s most dynamic young stars: Heaven Peralejo.


It’s official -  Actress Heaven Peralejo joins PlayTime as its newest addition to its brand ambassador list together with Vic Sotto.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PlayTime is the go-to online gaming platform for everyday Filipinos. PlayTime was built with the Filipino mass market in mind — it’s fun, fast, and full of ways to win.
-----------------------------------------------------------

At the exclusive “All Eyes Up: PlayTime Welcomes Its Muse” press event held last August 21 at Grand Hyatt, PlayTime formally introduced Heaven Peralejo as its newest brand endorser. The event was attended by press, media and key players in the online entertainment scene, with the celebration signaling a growing community for PlayTime.

Heaven represents the heart of the everyday Filipino. Her journey mirrors what PlayTime stands for: pushing forward, enjoying the ride, and celebrating every win.


“Heaven brings a mix of charm, strength, and relatability that mirrors what PlayTime stands for,” said Krizia Cortez, Director of Public Relations. “We’re thrilled to welcome her as part of our growing family.”

The partnership aims to empower users to play with fun and confidence. PlayTime is not just here for the thrill — it wants users to feel safe, valued, and empowered every time they log in.


Through Heaven, PlayTime is showing that gaming isn’t just for the pros— it’s for everyone who wants a bit more excitement in their day.

Here are some questions and answers of Heaven during the recent event:


What made you say yes to being PlayTime’s newest endorser?
"PlayTime stood out to me because it champions entertainment as its core. I love that it encourages people to enjoy, but with responsibility and heart. That’s something I believe in. Fun doesn't have to be reckless,"said Heaven.
How does your personality/ values/ career goals align with PlayTime as a brand?
"This partnership fits perfectly with what I stand for. PlayTime is not just about winning; it shines a spotlight on the Filipino cheer that is brought out by entertainment platforms. I'm excited to be part of a platform that uplifts Filipino talent and promotes responsible fun."
What do you hope your fans take away from this campaign?
"That it’s okay to take breaks, to find happiness in small things, and that play—done right—is healthy. I also want to remind everyone that even online, you can be empowered, respectful, and responsible."
What does responsible gaming mean to you personally?
"PlayTime is about balance—knowing when to enjoy and when to pause. We believe gaming should be a source of entertainment, but always within the bounds of personal responsibility. That means recognizing limits, setting healthy boundaries, and making space to disconnect when needed. It’s a value I personally embrace as well: reminding myself that while gaming is fun, it’s just as important to step back, breathe, and be present offline."
Guests at the event got a first look at upcoming promos, teasing more surprises in the pipeline as the brand levels up its presence in the online entertainment and gaming space.

Turn Every Low-Light Moment into Your Best Shot Yet with OPPO Reno14 Series 5G


The best memories don’t wait for perfect lighting—and with the OPPO Reno14 Series 5G, you won’t have to either.

Built for creators, storytellers, and anyone who refuses to let bad lighting ruin a great memory, the OPPO Reno14 Series 5G’s AI Flash Photography turns dim settings into sharp, vibrant, and share-worthy images.

Redefining Night Photography

Low-light scenes are no longer a limitation. The OPPO Reno14 Series 5G pairs its Ultra-Clear Low-Light Camera System with AI Flash Photography for photos rich in texture, color, and clarity—even in the most challenging lighting.

The OPPO Reno14 Pro 5G features a flagship-level triple 50MP camera setup with main, telephoto, and ultra-wide lenses, delivering incredible clarity across all focal lengths.

The OPPO Reno14 5G and OPPO Reno14 F 5G also pack advanced AI camera systems with high-resolution sensors, ultra-wide and macro lenses, and a dedicated 50MP telephoto on the OPPO Reno14 5G—giving you the flexibility to capture more with less effort.

Whether you’re shooting portraits or Livephotos, expect cinematic results without blur or noise.


Lighting, Reinvented: The 3-Flash Advantage

At the core of OPPO’s low-light innovation is its 3-Flash Design, setting a new benchmark in flash hardware.
● Dual flash units on the main and wide-angle lenses offer 100% higher brightness at one meter.
● A dedicated telephoto focusing flash delivers 1000% brighter illumination at two meters.

This system makes shooting in the dark feel effortless—no extra gear, no detail lost. Whether it's a night street scene or a long-range portrait, every shot is bright, balanced, and beautifully lit.


AI That Gets the Lighting Just Right

Behind the hardware is real-time scene analysis powered by AI. The OPPO Reno14 Series 5G intelligently adjusts brightness, tone, and shadow balance—eliminating the washed-out glare common with basic flash photography.

From stills to motion, your images retain natural skin tones, rich depth, and clean definition.

Two Powerful Modes, One Beautiful Result

To give you full control over your vision, the OPPO Reno14 Series 5G offers two AI-enhanced flash modes:

● Flash Mode: Fires a pre-flash and main flash sequence, adding dimension and detail—perfect for low-lit events, night-outs, or dramatic captures.

● Fill Light: Provides consistent soft lighting for balanced, natural portraits without harsh shadows.

Together, they let you adapt to any scene and keep the focus where it belongs—on the moment.

Renata Shakirova and Kimin Kim bring fresh fire to Don Quixote in Ballet Manila’s Pearl Year finale


Performing a role repeatedly can either deepen a dancer’s mastery or dull their connection to the material. For international ballet stars Renata Shakirova and Kimin Kim, it’s a challenge they meet with precision, passion, and a relentless pursuit of nuance.

Set to portray Kitri and Basilio in Don Quixote from August 22 to 24 at the Aliw Theater—the final offering of Ballet Manila’s Pearl Year season—Renata and Kimin return to roles they’ve danced countless times, but never the same way twice.


Both dancers are part of the world renowned Mariinsky Ballet where they have attained principal dancer status – a feat that signifies their years of experience and expertise in ballet, performing with technical precision and exceptional artistry.

“I think that the role of Kitri is my most performed role in the classical ballet repertoire,” admits Renata. Yet despite this, she stresses that the key to keeping the character fresh is to forget how many times she’s performed it.

She adds, “I have to prepare for the performance like it’s my first time so that we are always paying attention and ready. For example, looking at each other as partners—it can become mechanical. But it is our responsibility to always look into the details and discover something new with every rehearsal or performance.”

Renata also acknowledges her partner Kimin’s ability to see the smallest nuances: “He has this trait of always looking at and paying attention to even the smallest of details, and I think that every performance consists of these small details.”

Kimin, a multi-award-winning principal dancer trained at the Mariinsky Theater, describes Basilio as “the color red that shimmers”—a bright, shining character that is thrilling to portray.

Even with his unique perspective on the role, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining the level of excellence instilled through his Mariinsky training: “I think schooling is still the most important. Without proper schooling, you cannot really show anything. There are the fouettés and the male jumps that show technique in the pas de deux. In the first act, you can also show a lot of acting that I learned from my teachers. I try to give the audience my inner self as well as the technique that is expected of me.”

Having danced with Renata previously in the same roles, Kimin still finds excitement in discovering something new about his partner. “It is always a pleasure to work with Renata. When we are dancing the same ballet a hundred times, there are also a hundred different versions of her dancing.”

He continues, “She is very emotional, and onstage she can show everything differently. As her partner, it is always so nice—I watch her with surprise, so I am never bored with her performance.”

Now portraying Kitri and Basilio with Ballet Manila on a Philippine stage, both dancers are eager to show audiences what they’ve been preparing so diligently.

For Renata, who had a wonderful experience playing Giselle with Ballet Manila last year, her return as Kitri is most welcome. “The audience was so receptive and hospitable, and now that I am here with a different performance, I am so excited to show a different side of me. Giselle was a very dramatic and heavy ballet, and Don Quixote is very happy—with different requirements of coordination and style. As an artist, I want to show this other side of me.”

Meanwhile, for Kimin—performing in Manila for the first time—he hopes the audience will carry the emotions of the performance long after the curtain falls: “I always want the audience to feel a bright emotion after a performance—not only to clap and shout ‘bravo’ after the show, but to bring home that memory of Renata and Kimin. I think that can only happen if the performer gives the audience a message and a feeling. It is so important to me that the audience will like our performance.”
Lisa Macuja Elizalde

With the caliber and artistry of Renata and Kimin, Ballet Manila’s CEO and artistic director Lisa Macuja Elizalde exclaims, “I think it’s only fitting to close out our Pearl Year performance season with Renata and Kimin leading Ballet Manila’s Don Quixote. With their performance, we will once again reinforce our pursuit of bringing world-class performances to our audiences.”

Don’t miss the stellar performance from Renata Shakirova and Kimin Kim as they portray the well-loved characters Kitri and Basilio in Ballet Manila’s Don Quixote on August 22 at 8 PM, and August 23 and 24 at 5 PM.

All performances will be staged at Aliw Theater, Pasay City. For tickets, visit www.ticketworld.com.ph. To learn more about Ballet Manila and its shows, visit www.balletmanila.com.ph.

Bacolod Goes Lift Mode: Coca-Cola PH Introduces New Beverage Lift with Epic Unveiling

Bacolod City, PhilippinesCoca-Cola Philippines has launched Lift, its newest invigorating drink powered with Vitamin B3, Zinc, and Caffeine to energize today's generation of go-getters. With its vibrant citrus taste and empowering call to Go Lift Mode, the new drink, now available in Western Visayas, is designed to inspire consumers to break from routine and embrace life with boldness.


Coca-Cola Philippines President Tony Del Rosario, Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines Unit Director Gus Gatuslao, and Lift ambassador Ruru Madrid lead the high-energy launch of Lift in Bacolod.

To celebrate the launch, Coca-Cola Philippines held a high-energy event “UNDO THE USUAL, LIFT MODE NA ‘YAN: Epic Unveiling” at the Bacolod City New Government Center (NGC) on August 9, 2025. The celebration marked Lift’s arrival and kicked off the brand’s mission to energize communities across Western Visayas.

As Coca-Cola Philippines continues its mission to Refresh the World and Make a Difference, Lift serves as a vibrant call to action for consumers to break from routine and embrace their boldest, most energized selves. The brand invites everyone to Go Lift Mode and show up with confidence and choose to stand out.

The launch campaign built momentum across Bacolod with branded Lift crates placed in iconic locations like Bacolod Plaza and CityMall Parola in Iloilo. These teasers sparked curiosity and conversation, setting the stage for the Lift Recorida Caravan from August 7 to 9. The caravan energized key spots in Bacolod and Iloilo with on-ground sampling, street performances, and social media buzz — culminating in the dramatic crate delivery to the NGC for the main event.



Attendees went on full “Lift mode” by joining high-energy challenges and exploring interactive booths for a chance to win exclusive prizes

At the heart of the launch was the Epic Unboxing, where the crowd witnessed the reveal of the new Lift. Thousands gathered for an afternoon of bold flavors and immersive experiences. The venue featured live performances and Lift-themed booths such as the Lift Bar, a Crate Maze, and an interactive Trick Art Wall. These installations encouraged attendees to explore, taste, and share their Lift experience online.

Ruru Madrid, Lift’s official ambassador, brought energy and excitement to the event, as he celebrated with fans and joined the launch festivities.

The brand’s official endorser Ruru Madrid made a special appearance to meet fans and followers of the Lift Philippines Facebook page, energizing the crowd and bringing the brand’s bold and vibrant spirit to life throughout the event.

The event drew in thousands of active consumers across Bacolod and nearby provinces, signaling a strong return for the brand. The excitement extended to the online space, with high engagement on social media and conversations about Lift’s invigorating flavor and feel.

"We’re thrilled by the energy and excitement from Bacolod and the entire Western Visayas,” said Tony Del Rosario, President of Coca-Cola Philippines. “ The new Lift we’re introducing today offers that great taste — and more. It’s a bold, citrus-flavored drink charged with Vitamin B3, Zinc, and Caffeine, made for today’s youth who switch between multiple modes in a day. It carries a powerful message that dares you to switch — to choose something different, break the routine, and power through with confidence.”

The crowd came together to mark the launch, savoring its bold and energizing taste.

Consumers across Western Visayas can now grab Lift in sari-sari stores and partner retailers. More regional rollouts, pop-ups, and promotions are on the horizon as Lift continues to spread its bold message: Undo the Usual. Go Lift Mode.

National Disability Rights Week: Globe hosts the Philippine Business and Disability Network Meeting


Globe recently became the first local company to host the Philippine Business and Disability Network’s (PBDN) 4th Networking Meeting, held in partnership with Project Inclusion Network. The event, attended by 36 companies, coincided with National Disability Rights Week and brought together changemakers from across sectors to challenge one central question: “What does equity look like when it’s built into the design of our systems, workplaces, and technologies?”

At the heart of the conversation was the belief that disability inclusion is not merely a moral obligation or a policy requirement, it’s a fundamental design challenge.

Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz opened the event with an unwavering commitment to inclusion. “Inclusion is not an afterthought at Globe. We’re embedding it into our culture, our systems, and our platforms because we believe every talent is important and should be cared for.” He acknowledged that while the road ahead is long, Globe is committed to listening, taking action, and moving forward with partners who share the same vision.

Denise Haak, Globe AVP for Product Experience Strategy & Design shared her own experience building diverse teams, not just in Globe but also in her past workplaces. Haak shared stories of hiring individuals with visual, speech, and developmental disabilities to show how inclusive hiring leads to accessible design. Her message was clear, “When we design for difference, we create better solutions for everyone.”

“We can start practicing equity by reviewing our job descriptions for bias, offering interview accommodations, removing unnecessary time pressure from tests, and making sure our digital tools are easy to navigate for everyone,” Haak shared. “Inclusion doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. What it needs is thoughtfulness, and the courage to ask the right questions.”

Guided by its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy Commitment, Globe is actively redesigning its web platforms to deliver an equitable online experience for its users. Among the company’s initiatives include incorporating accessibility personas for user-centered development, ensuring compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, leveraging on color contrast palette, and using clear and simple language.

Social innovator and Virtualahan founder Ryan Gersava drove home the urgency of these questions with his powerful personal story. Denied employment after being diagnosed with a chronic illness, Gersava turned exclusion into action by creating a digital skills training program that has since empowered hundreds of persons with disabilities to launch remote careers.

He reminded the audience that exclusion is rarely accidental, it is the result of design decisions made without lived experience in the discussion and creation process of policies and systems. “Real inclusion is not about pity or optics. It’s about co-creating systems with the people they’re meant to serve,” he said.

The event concluded with a hands-on workshop titled “Journeys & Junctions: Mapping Inclusion Across the Employee Lifecycle.” In small groups, the participants explored real-world scenarios through the lens of disability personas, identifying barriers across stages like hiring, onboarding, and performance review. Teams then co-created practical redesigns of policies, tech solutions, or process tweaks that could lead to more inclusive work experiences. The session encouraged collaboration, empathy, and real-time application of inclusive thinking.

Mr. Grant Javier, Executive Director of PBDN concluded the event with a call to action "Our progress hinges on cultivating a wider network of allies and champions. This extends beyond persons with disabilities themselves to encompass the very individuals with whom they work, fostering a truly inclusive ecosystem."

For Globe, hosting this event was more than a moment, it was a movement. And while no single company can do it alone, it was clear that with the right partnerships and the right questions, it’s possible to build a digital world that works for all.
