PepsiCo is launching its first alcoholic beverage, HARD MOUNTAIN DEW, in the Philippines today.

HARD MOUNTAIN DEW is the company’s first ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage in the country

-----------------------------------------------

Launched in the United States in 2022, HARD MOUNTAIN DEW is a ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage that contains zero caffeine, no added sugar, 5% alcohol by volume (ABV), and 100 calories per serving.

“We’re excited to bring in HARD MOUNTAIN DEW to give our Filipino consumers a new take on Mountain Dew, our number one soda brand in the Philippines*. As our first ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage, HARD MOUNTAIN DEW’s bold flavors bring fun back into the lives of busy adults who want a responsible way to go from work to play,” said Nitin Bhandari, Sr. Director and General Manager, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore.

According to Bhandari, by offering an innovative take on Mountain Dew, PepsiCo is taking a step toward the company's larger vision for ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages.

“PepsiCo has a rich history of pushing boundaries and delivering innovative new products that responsibly meet the evolving needs of drinkers, both globally and nationwide.

As the company expands into the RTD alcoholic beverage space, Bhandari affirmed the company’s commitment to adhering to responsible marketing on all its alcoholic products.

“Our alcoholic beverages are thoughtfully crafted for adults of legal drinking age who enjoy responsible consumption. In compliance with local regulations, our packaging prominently displays the word "HARD" with an enhanced visual design and a clear 5% ABV identified on the can. This effectively differentiates our alcoholic products while meeting consumer expectations and regulatory requirements,” he said.

Ely Buendia marks triumphant comeback with new single “Bulaklak Sa Buwan”

Tweet

Ely Buendia enters a new era of his solo music career with the release of “Bulaklak Sa Buwan.”

The fuzzy, alt-rock number serves as the first single off his upcoming sophomore album, Method Adaptor, which will be out on November 8, 2024, via Sony Music Entertainment and Offshore Music.

_____________________________

His latest track serves as his first solo release since 2021’s “Metro”

_____________________________

The track’s release coincides with the prevalence of fabricated stories and propaganda-driven atrocities in online spaces, challenging listeners to raise awareness for factual truth and combat misinformation.

“I’ve been watching documentaries a lot, and I tried to distill everything in one song,” the legendary Pinoy rock artist explains. “The track is all about the quest for the truth. It's about seeking knowledge while resisting the confines of dogma.”

Sonically, “Bulaklak Sa Buwan” stands out without the need to constantly show off. The disarming pop gem continues Buendia's knack for composure and effortlessness: his gift for melodies is still as sharp and instinctive as his best output with his previous bands, and his guitar work is still at its most ferociously sounding in over two decades.

Ely Buendia’s frequent collaborator and Pupil bandmate Jerome Velasco produced the song, delivering a pristine but straightforward production approach that doesn’t take away the material’s anthemic charm.

“I wanted it to be buoyant-sounding and surprising,” shares the award-winning OPM icon. “The song is very upbeat, and I utilized several modulation techniques to make it seem like the music goes higher and higher every time.”

“Bulaklak Sa Buwan” is accompanied by the release of a music video directed by Niko Cezar and Aimee Aznar of KNYA Collective. According to Ely, the visual narrative finds him wandering in the woods looking for a particular flower. “Upon finding it, I get into some upside-down vibes (like Stranger Things), getting transported into another dimension.”

Ely Buendia’s “Bulaklak Sa Buwan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide. Watch out for the official music video on August 16, 2024, Friday at 6pm on Ely Buendia’s official YouTube channel.

SB19 drops THE FIRST TAKE versions of “GENTO” and “MAPA” on streaming platforms

Tweet

P-Pop royalty SB19 continues to captivate music fans from all over the world with the release of “GENTO” and “MAPA” from THE FIRST TAKE sessions on all digital music platforms via Sony Music Entertainment.

The new versions feature the award-winning group’s performance at THE FIRST TAKE, a popular YouTube channel with nearly 10 million subscribers under its belt. The show's format features Japanese and international music guests performing a song in one take, filmed with shots of the artists and a microphone against a minimalist and usually white backdrop.

To date, THE FIRST TAKE renditions of “GENTO” and “MAPA” have amassed more than 4.5 million views on YouTube, becoming one of the most viewed performances from an Asian pop group/band.

“We’re eternally grateful to THE FIRST TAKE for giving us an opportunity to showcase our work on a platform known not just for its massive global following but for elevating the audio-visual experience of music fans with much-needed authenticity and rawness,” SB19 shares in a collective statement. “The performances really challenged us to work within our limitations and deliver with the best of our abilities. We’ve always considered performing as a sanctimonious process that deserves utmost preparation, love, and respect. Constantly reminded by THE FIRST TAKE that we can only perform the songs once, we had to reconnect with our roots and embrace the beauty of spontaneity.”

SB19 is the first Southeast Asian group and the first Filipino artist to be invited on the globally renowned platform, which also served as host to several acclaimed performances by other artists such as aespa, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, Hitsujibungaku, MANESKIN, ITZY, (G)-I-DLE, imase, Maluma, and more.

For THE FIRST TAKE version of “GENTO,” SB19 delivered a genuinely compelling performance that highlights the five-piece act’s incredible talent and range in harmonizing, singing, and rapping.

 The chart-topping hitmakers also took musicality on a different level with their rousing version of “MAPA,” which SB19 redressed with a soaring arrangement and an inspiring gospel-infused delivery.

Both versions are now available for streaming and are bundled with its original versions:
