Tweet

Christian Bautista, continues to chart an extraordinary course in 2025.

Fresh off a series of career highs– including renewing his contract as a Kapuso and earning international recognition at the Telly Awards and The Outstanding Filipinos in America (TOFA)-- Asia’s Romantic Balladeer continues his winning streak. Most recently, Christian Bautista took home two Collision Awards for Matching Outfits: Silver Winner and Audience Choice Winner in the Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle category. Now, he adds another major move to his banner year: officially signing an exclusive recording contract with Sony Music Philippines.

The contract signing took place this July at the label’s Ortigas office, with Sony Music Philippines’ General Manager Roslyn Pineda, Deputy General Manager Maan Atienza, and NYMA COO Kat Bautista.

“This is such an exciting time—2025 has already been incredible,” Christian shared. “I’m deeply grateful to the entire Sony Music Philippines team for their warm welcome, and to my management at NYMA for their unwavering guidance and for constantly opening new doors for me. Even after more than 20 years in the industry, it’s amazing to discover that there is still so much more to explore. I’m surrounded by people and listeners around the world who inspire me and remind me that the opportunities are truly endless.”

The partnership brings together Sony Music Philippines’ team, including Roslyn Pineda (General Manager, Philippines), and Maan Atienza (Deputy General Manager). Working closely with NYMA, the goal is to shape a new season of music and storytelling for one of OPM’s most iconic voices– the one and only Asia’s Romantic Balladeer.

“Christian Bautista’s artistry transcends borders, and we are excited to amplify his voice across Southeast Asia and beyond,” said Roslyn Pineda. “His recent warm welcome at Sony Music Indonesia highlights the strong fanbase he has there, and we look forward to collaborating closely with our colleagues in Indonesia to create new pathways for his music. Together, we are poised to bring his incredible talent to a wider audience.”

While details of new releases are still under wraps, fans can expect something very soon. Christian Bautista is cooking up something exciting with the music label—hinted at by his recent visit to Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia’s office. With Sony’s regional reach and global reputation, this new chapter points to wider rollouts and fresh opportunities for Christian to expand his music not just across Southeast Asia, but globally.

Top 3 Reasons Why the realme 14 5G Stands Out as a Must-Have for Everyday Use

Tweet

Experience exceptional power, lightning-fast speed, and unmatched durability with the realme 14 5G. Snag a free realme Buds T01 for a limited time only!

Whether it’s a packed weekday or a busy weekend, users need a device that’s durable, powerful, and built for convenience. This is where the realme 14 5G excels: it's a slim, stylish, high-performance, and reliable daily essential.

Measuring just 7.97mm, it’s light, easy to hold, and perfect for one-handed use. Available in Storm Titanium, Warrior Pink, and Mecha Silver, its Mecha-inspired design blends sleek edges with a modern finish that suits any OOTD.

To demonstrate how it goes beyond the basics, realme highlights some of the core strengths that make the 14 5G a reliable choice for daily use.

Power That Starts Early and Stays Late

At its core is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 5G processor, which brings a 35% boost in GPU performance and a 15% increase in CPU speeds compared to the previous generation. That means smoother app launches, faster multitasking, and lag-free gameplay, whether fans are editing a reel, hopping between social apps during commutes, or playing graphics-heavy games. Combined with GT Boost and AI Game Optimization, the phone responds instantly and holds steady even during high-pressure moments.

But what’s power if it can’t last? The 6000mAh battery offers up to 10.5 hours of gaming or over 90 hours of music playback on a single charge. And when it’s time to top up, the phone's 45W SUPERVOOC charging brings the battery back to full power quickly. Bypass Charging is also on board, reducing heat during charging, especially useful for gamers or digital hustlers who never unplug.

Heat-Free, Lag-Free, Blur-Free

Multitaskers and gamers alike will appreciate the 6050mm² vapor chamber cooling system, paired with HyperTherm Graphite. It works quietly in the background, preventing overheating even during marathon sessions. With up to 26GB dynamic RAM and 256GB of internal storage, there’s space to breathe and speed to spare. And with all that room, there’s no better way to fill it than with memories (and creativity!). The realme 14 5G comes equipped with a 50MP main camera featuring Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and SuperOIS, delivering sharper photos and steadier videos in almost any scenario.

Additionally, features like AI Snap Mode (for capturing fast-moving subjects), AI Eraser, and AI Clear Face enable direct photo cleanup in the gallery, eliminating the need for third-party apps.

Ready for Rain, Dust, and Rough Days

All those captured memories and stored files are housed in a device built to withstand more than just everyday wear. It carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to dust, accidental splashes, and even high-pressure water. Whether capturing content in unpredictable weather or enduring daily spills and drops, it ensures your creative work stays safe, making it a durable companion for active and accident-prone users.

For fans seeking extra value, realme is offering a free pair of realme Buds T01 with every realme 14 5G purchase from July 19 to August 3. It’s a complete everyday package, all for P17,999.
