Sponge Cola releases “Tatlong Buwan,” a track inspired by hit K-drama Queen of Tears

Tweet

Filipino band Sponge Cola releases another pop-rock anthem inspired by a hit Korean drama.

Their new single “Tatlong Buwan” explores a couple’s journey towards healing and reconnection. It echoes the familiar narrative of everyone’s current favorite series, ‘Queen of Tears,’ which stars Korean superstars Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won.

According to Yael Yuzon, Sponge Cola’s lead vocalist and guitarist, the song serves as “a love letter, epistolary, or even a midnight soliloquy for one person.”

He explains, “Tatlong Buwan is inspired by the love story of the main characters of Queen of Tears. It helps that it’s a series; you really get to know the characters. You see why they’re the way they are. Sociological factors, family ties, trauma. You see how they’re all shaped and the push and pull of every character. Ultimately, there’s just so much clarity in the way the narrative unfolds that it’s so easy to empathize, which makes it easier to feel and easier to write.”

Yael wrote “Tatlong Buwan” immediately after catching the tenth episode of the smash Netflix show. He admits that the song reflects the urgency of the moment, inspiring him to write with newfound vulnerability.

“I don’t think I’ve ever said mamahalin ka lang, mamahalin kita in a song before,” Yuzon reveals.

The following day, he recorded the song over at Love One Another Studio with legendary music producer Angee Rozul, who told him to sing it in a way that is exactly the opposite of the lyrical mood.

“This actually made me sadder, knowing that it’s a love song that could sadly end in death,” said the Gemini hitmaker. “He had no idea, so the burden was all on me.”

After getting approval from his bandmates, including the ever-stoic Gosh, the band’s bassist, Yael Yuzon, sent the track to Joey Santos for mixing and additional instrumentation. The result, as expected, is a beautifully produced paean to a love that was once lost but is now found, growing stronger by the day even after going through so many twists and turns.

The song will also be released with a music video that is set against the backdrop of the key film locations in Queen of Tears. Yael shares that the entire experience was completely magical, a labor of love and an homage to one of the best K-dramas of all time.

“There’s something engulfing about visiting locations where great narrative moments took place. It’s like these places witnessed so much emotion that there’s still some of it left.”

Sponge Cola’s “Tatlong Buwan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. The official music video will be released on Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m. via Sponge Cola’s official YouTube channel.

Midea Philippines launches ‘Engineered to Last’ campaign, demonstrates excellence in products and after-sales service

Tweet

Do you feel the heat? Summertime is here, and those extra hot days call for a reliable air conditioner that isn’t just effective in cooling up a room, but also won’t balloon up your electricity bill and can last you for a long time.

Midea Philippines, one of the country’s frontrunners in the residential and commercial air conditioning industry, recently launched its campaign “Engineered to Last,” reflecting its strong commitment to manufacturing and service excellence. The campaign seeks to demonstrate Midea’s reliable after-sales service and exceptional product guarantees by providing improved and extended product warranties while aiming to instill confidence in its consumers by surpassing market norms.

In line with this initiative, Midea announced its product warranty extension on residential and light commercial air conditioning products. Customers can now experience one-year warranty for parts and service, three-year warranty for indoor & outdoor Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and 10-year warranty for compressors—providing coverage for unexpected repairs, extra savings, peace of mind, and more.

To avail of the extended warranty coverage, any Midea air conditioner products purchased from March 1, 2024 onwards from any authorized dealers/appliance stores are eligible upon evaluation based on the warranty policy.

Aside from this offering, Midea’s air conditioners are also built with Prime Guard Protection that helps guard every unit against corrosion, making them last longer. With the products being manufactured by Concepcion Midea Incorporated Philippines (CMIP), customers can guarantee excellent after-sales service given the technical expertise and customer trust they’ve built over the decade-long experience in the industry.

“Midea’s global portfolio has always been ingrained at the core of what we do. We want to make sure that we maintain that standard and even go beyond it. With the Engineered to Last campaign, we are able to step up for our customers and strengthen our relationship with them by offering guaranteed peace of mind and comfort knowing that they are investing in products that are built to last them a long time,” shares Anna Marie Alejandro, General Manager of CMIP.

Having been recognized as the world’s no. 1 residential inverter air conditioner company and recently being hailed as one of the Superbrands in the Philippines, Midea continues to offer a wide variety of residential air conditioner lines including the highest-rated and energy-efficient Midea Airstill Split Type Inverter Air Conditioner, Midea U Window Type Inverter Air Conditioner, Midea CELEST Split Type Air Conditioner, and Midea GENESISPRO Split Type Air Conditioner among others, all engineered to perform long and withstand the harshest weather conditions. This guarantees peace of mind and product quality in every air conditioning unit, whether for residential or commercial applications.

As Labor Day approaches, Pluxee — a leading global employee recognition solutions provider — urges employers to honor their workforce through personalized digital solutions

Tweet

Labor Day is a time to commemorate the contributions of the workforce across all industries. It’s also timely for employers to reflect on the commitment of their employees who fuel their organization’s success everyday.

The World Bank reported that the estimated unemployment rate in the Philippines is at its lowest level since 1999, indicating signs of recovery in the labor market. This means that over 90% of people in the working age group were employed, with the majority falling into the pay and salary category. 

However, employee retention remains a major problem for most employers. The country is still experiencing the effects of “The Great Resignation” brought by the pandemic, with 29% of employees looking for greener pastures.

Studies show that employee appreciation is crucial for retention. This goes beyond verbal recognition and transcends into rewards and incentives for their meaningful efforts. 

Previously Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services, Pluxee has strengthened its identity with a renewed commitment to advancing worker recognition that aligns with Labor Day celebrations. It now highlights customized digital solutions, with its flagship offering — Pluxee Gift — at the forefront of creating joyful and sustainable employee appreciation experiences.

Elevating employee appreciation with Pluxee Gift  

Pluxee Gift makes employee milestones and rewards more meaningful. It features a wide variety of redemption options for different services and special treats such as meals, spa days, shopping sprees, and many more. This diverse range caters to a broad spectrum of preferences, creating joyful experiences for every employee.

Pluxee Gifts come in different forms that can cater to any employee experience journey:

Pluxee Gift credits: Pluxee Gift credits are sent to the Pluxee Philippines app of recipients via web portal. These credits are partially redeemable, meaning recipients don't have to use the credits all at once in a single transaction. Credits may be used at over 10,000 partner merchants and online stores such as Grab, Lazada, Shopee, Angkas, and Klook. Pluxee Gift credits are best for recurring benefits such as allowances, performance-based incentives, and more.

Pluxee Gift codes: Employers can simplify the gifting experience with texts and emails, eliminating storage requirements and manual tracking of rewards. Pluxee Gift codes are also convertible to Pluxee Gift credits to allow partial redemption. Furthermore, Pluxee Gift codes can be customized with the company’s logo and message, and can be made valid for specific merchants and products only.

Pluxee Gift card:  A hybrid reward, the Pluxee Gift card is a physical card that carries digital Pluxee Gift codes. Recipients can use them instantly, with no activation needed. Pluxee Gift cards are convertible to Pluxee Gift credits for recipients who prefer to store their rewards in an app and enjoy features such as partial redemption and online shopping. Customization is also possible with the company’s logo or for specific products.

This Labor Day, Pluxee encourages organizations to celebrate and reward their employees' achievements through innovative recognition solutions. With its Live Joyful campaign, Pluxee enables memorable experiences, amplifying the celebration of employees' contributions and emphasizing the joy found in meaningful recognition.
