FOX PH presents strong program lineup with hit shows premiers this February

Tweet

PHILIPPINES – February proves to be an extremely exciting month for FOX Philippines as the channel announces the premiere of several hit US television series. 

Several FOX shows are returning to the channel in February, including The Walking Dead, Billions, and WWE’s wrestling programs, while new shows Legion and 24: Legacy are set to bring more prestige to an already strong lineup. 

To promote this huge boost in programming, FOX is teaming up with Philippine escape room game Breakout to host an experience called FOXtreme Breakout, which will bring elements of these shows closer to viewers in a unique escape room challenge that will run from February 9 to 12 at Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City.

The new and returning television shows that will be premiering this month on FOX all have day & date telecasts and are based on exciting, adrenaline-pumping content. Legion is based on a Marvel comic book that follows the life of David Haller, who is diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and soon discovers that he’s a powerful mutant—probably one of the most powerful that’s ever lived. Starring Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast, Downton Abbey), this 10-episode limited series premieres in the US on February 8 and in the Philippines on FOX on February 9 at 8 PM.

Another exciting release on FOX is 24: Legacy, a spin-off of the hit TV show 24. The series stars Corey Hawkins and Miranda Otto and follows the story of Eric Carter, an ex-Army Ranger who is being sought by a terrorist group and tries to stop one of the largest attacks to potentially happen in the US. This heart-stopping 12-episode series will show exclusively on FOX and premiere in the US on February 5, with a Philippine premiere on February 6 at 8 PM.

Meanwhile, the highly successful series The Walking Dead returns to FOX on February 13 in the Philippines at 11:35 AM simultaneously with the US, with an 8:55 PM replay for viewers in the evening. This mid-season premiere continues the explosive Season 7 of the zombie apocalypse-based show. Billions is also returning to FOX for its 13-episode second season, premiering on February 20 at 9:50 PM exclusively on the channel.

FOX is also the Philippines’ Home of Wrestling, with its wide roster of WWE titles such as Raw, SmackDown, and Royal Rumble. On February 14, FOX’s local production Wrestling Gods adds to the channel’s testosterone-fueled wrestling mania when it premieres at 9:50 PM.

Viewers can also experience all these great shows on FOX up close by joining the FOXtreme Breakout challenge at the Ground Floor of Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City from February 9 to 12. The channel teamed up with premier escape room game Breakout to create a series of interconnected rooms that each emulate the look and feel of the shows premiering in February on the channel. Teams of four will have about 20 minutes to finish going through the experience, in which they’ll have to fish a key off a “walker” in The Walking Dead room; take on shooting challenges in the 24: Legacy room; play a tough game of rock-paper-scissors with five big wrestlers in the WWE room; test their sanity while going through a mirror maze in the Legion room; and claim their prizes in the Billions room. 

FOXtreme Breakout is a fun way for viewers to immerse themselves in FOX’s newest and most-loved shows as well as win prizes. Participants can form teams of four and register online at www.breakout.com.ph to reserve a slot and enjoy the game for free.

Charo Espedido, Director and Head of Content & Marketing at FOX Networks Group Philippines, said, “The addition of new shows like Legion and 24: Legacy along with the return of hit shows like The Walking Dead, Billions, and our favorite WWE programs to FOX make it clear that we are determined to deliver the most exciting, action-packed US entertainment content to our viewers. We’re excited to share these shows and engage with FOX’s viewers at the FOXtreme Breakout game in Uptown Mall this month so that we can whet their appetites for the amazing shows they’ll see on their TV screens soon.”

THE FOXtreme Breakout will run in Uptown BGC from February 9 to 12, 2017.

The Philippines’ first internationally-designed Bike Playground at Circulo Verde

Tweet

Property developer Ortigas & Company incorporates cycling into the latest addition to its 10-hectare masterplanned mixed-use community in Bagumbayan, Quezon City.

The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde holds to its promise of quality living in wide open tranquil spaces amidst retail options for residents and visitors to enjoy. It blends urban living with suburban charm while maintaining a lush and green concept, notes Architect Renee Bacani, Vice President and General Manager of the Shopping Centers Division of Ortigas & Company

Bike Playground Contract Signing

A Bike Park for All 

Be you a beginner or serious trainer, The Bike Playground is suited for you as it incorporates fun into the whole equation of cycling as a sport and form of exercise.

Set aside any notion that The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde is only for those who are into biking. The facility aims to promote cycling as a leisure activity that can be enjoyed by the young and old, from beginners to professional riders.

World Class Pump Track 

The Bike Playground holds the distinction of being the first signature covered asphalt pump track exclusively designed for Circulo Verde by bemedalled cyclist and international designer Claudio Caluori under his Velosolutions company.

Swiss-born designer Claudio discovered his passion for mountain biking at a young age and went on to ride competitively from the late 1990s. While serving as team manager for Gstaad-Scott, a World Championships winning team of riders, Claudio started building world-class pump tracks, pump parks, and downhill trails all over the world. “There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing the children’s smiles during their first laps on a pump track we just built,” says Caluori.

Among the world-class tracks Velosolutions has built can be found in Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, Switzerland and New York, USA. The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde will become part of that roster. 

Outdoor Track

Aside from the signature asphalt pump track, The Bike Playground features an outdoor trail that will provide the full biking experience for riders of all ages. The trail will cater to all skill levels and all types of bicycles from mountain bikes and road bikes to BMX and Cyclocross.

“Being in the middle of the city, The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde is a good venue for those who want to try biking and to those who want to squeeze in their biking time before or after work," shares Parabanne Mendoza, international award-winning Philippine mountain biker, track builder, and Fox Athlete.

Definitely, cycling rookies and athletes alike will derive joy and exhilaration from every stunt executed and every trail navigated.

The Environment Summit aims to shed light on environmental and ecological issues that disrupt the processes of Mother Nature and the creatures living within it. In light of the celebration of the Waste Management Act anniversary and the Zero Waste Month every January, the summit seeks to educate the public on the destruction of the environment and what they can do to help alleviate this situation. 

Along with raising awareness, the E-Summit worked with government agencies and non-government organizations to urge the public, especially the youth, to participate in effective solid waste management, healthier lifestyle programs, and other initiatives that would help save the environment and promote a healthy way of life.

Officials of the DENR-NCR, Environmental Management Bureau, Climate Change Commission, National Solid Waste Management Commission, Metro-Manila Development Authority and other national agencies and local government units, as well as CEOs and senior managers of private companies participating as exhibitors also attended the opening day of the event.

Some personalities who were known for their leadership and active environmental role were also invited to help draw people to the event. These personalities were: Senator Loren Legarda, and Senator Cynthia Villar, and Quezon City’s Mayor Herbert Bautista and Vice-Mayor Joy Belmonte, True Faith, Spongecola, John Arcilla and many more. 

On the 3rd day of the event, they had an ECO Concert or “Tugtugan Para sa Kalikasan” where Filipino bands such as True Faith, Kjwan, Spongecola, Sasaya, Alchemy, GNGBND, Where’s Ramona?, Avalon Beyond, Banna Harbera, and Papapeta were invited to perform and showcase their talents. The ECO Summit closed its 4-day event last January 29, 2017, Sunday with ECO-Bike Ride. The proceeds from the Bike Ride will benefit the environment. They also had a Free Zumba with Mr. John Arcilla.
