Eraserheads: Combo On The Run makes history as the first Philippine documentary at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con 2025
The acclaimed documentary is also the first Philippine-produced film to grace the prestigious comic book and multi-entertainment convention
In a historic milestone for both Philippine cinema and the global music documentary scene, the film will not only be screened at SDCC but will also be featured in a panel discussion that will take place in Exhibit Hall 6BCF, an esteemed venue typically reserved for major titles in entertainment and pop culture. The panel will be led by director and producer Diane Ventura and joined by Ely Buendia, iconic frontman of the legendary Filipino rock band Eraserheads and a central figure in the documentary.
The presence of the Filipino docufilm at this venue marks a powerful moment of cultural crossover and artistic recognition, a feat that will surely bring pride and joy to the Philippines.
“I’m incredibly
grateful to have this opportunity to represent our people and country on a more
global platform,” said Ventura. “It’s long been my dream to spotlight the
ingenuity of Filipino art, talent, and creativity and to be part of a movement
that reframes the Filipino narrative. This is also my way of putting out a more
nuanced and extensive depiction of our people while bringing to light the
richness, humor, and depth of our stories.”
Upon its theatrical release in Philippine cinemas this summer under Warner Bros., the Dvent Pictures-produced Eraserheads: Combo On The Run received widespread acclaim from film critics and audiences alike. Billboard called it “a moving documentary for the younglings discovering their music and longtime fans reconnecting with the songs that defined their generation,” while GMA News hailed it as a “history lesson on an important chapter of Pinoy pop culture.” The film’s success at home led to multiple theatrical run extensions, screening in almost 200 cinemas nationwide.
In celebration of its SDCC debut, Kid Heroes Publications has also announced a special collaboration with the Eraserheads and DVent Pictures through a limited-edition one-shot comic book inspired by the film.
Inspired by the band’s documentary of the same name, the comic book reimagines the band’s semi-fictional journey through four unique stories told in an anthology format.
Illustrated by award-winning artists Raymund Lee, Felix Morales, and Ardie Aquino, and written by Patricio Ginelsa and Justin Quizon, Combo On The Run integrates music and mythology into an adventurous tale of musicians turned superheroes, making the world a better place one step at a time—thanks to their record-breaking hits, heroic deeds, and zombie-fighting missions.
The comic book features two exclusive cover designs by prominent Filipino American artists. Known for his influential work on Marvel titles such as The Punisher, X-Factor, Uncanny X-Men, and Iron Man, Whilce Portacio illustrated the Combo On The Run comic book cover, created exclusively for the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con edition. Meanwhile, Stephen Segovia, who made his mark on the international stage through his collaborations with DC Comics, lent his artistry to the SuperManila Exclusive edition.
Fans can pre-order the comic book now via the official Kid Heroes website.
Eraserheads Combo on the Run will be screened in theaters
worldwide in 2025.
realme 14 Pro Series 5G: Made for Every Moment that Matters
From brain fart ideas to milestone wins, the realme 14 Pro Series 5G is built to keep up with every kind of moment
Life
rarely stays in one lane, and sometimes, the shift is a beautiful thing.
Late-night study sessions can lead to academic awards and medals. Weekend side
hustles can grow into full-time dreams. Even those random ideas that come up
while stuck in traffic or brushing one’s teeth can blossom into creative
content, passion projects, or even businesses.
Through every transition, the realme 14 Pro Series 5G stands quietly supportive, ready to grow with whoever holds it. Whether it’s the high-end realme 14 Pro+ 5G or the solid and stylish realme 14 Pro 5G, both are designed to complement every moment.
Aesthetics that Never
Go Out of Style
Good design never screams. It settles in naturally, on a café
table, beside a laptop, or in someone’s hand like the Suede Grey and Pearl
White colorways of the realme 14 Pro Series 5G. They don’t beg for attention,
but they never go unnoticed. The Pearl White variant even adds a playful twist,
with a cold-sensitive back that shifts to a marbled blue below 16°C.
Beyond the surface, both phones offer immersive visuals. The realme 14 Pro+ 5G features a 6.83" quad-curved OLED display with 1.5K resolution, while the realme 14 Pro 5G comes in slightly smaller at 6.77" with a curved FHD+ OLED screen, providing fans with stunning clarity and rich contrast when watching or gaming.
Performance That Understands Ambition
From launching a brand to juggling school and side hustles, the realme 14 Pro Series 5G is built for the ambitious. The 14 Pro+ 5G, with its Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, handles heavy tasks with ease, while the 14 Pro 5G’s Dimensity 7300 Energy chip is perfect for daily use. With up to 512GB storage, 26GB dynamic RAM, and a 6000mAh battery, both phones deliver all-day performance. For quick top-ups, the realme 14 Pro+ 5G features 80W fast charging, reaching 50% in under 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the 14 Pro 5G offers 45W SUPERVOOC charging, which is fast enough to power up during a coffee break.
A Camera System That Captures Small and Big Wins
Not every photo is about aesthetics. Some are about moments –
messy, meaningful, blink-and-you’ll miss-it moments.
The realme 14 Pro+ 5G is equipped with a triple Sony camera
setup, including a 50MP OIS main lens, a periscope-style telephoto lens for an
impressive zoom range, and an ultra-wide lens for capturing travel days and
group shots. Whether it’s shooting golden hour portraits in BGC, a photo of
someone’s newly opened cafe, a medal, or a wacky shot with the gang, the
results feel sharp, vibrant, and clear.
Meanwhile, the realme 14 Pro 5G also delivers beautiful shots with its 50MP main sensor, enhanced by realme’s powerful AI modes such as Snap Mode (for capturing fast-moving subjects), AI Ultra Clarity 2.0 (for instantly removing blur), and yes, even Underwater Mode that let’s users record videos underwater at depths of up to 1.5 meters.
Built for the Unexpected
Life throws curveballs. Rainstorms during errands. Spilled
drinks during editing sessions. Beach sand, dusty roads, or the dreaded
bathroom drop. That’s why both phones carry IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings,
meaning they’re dust-tight and water-resistant, even against high-pressure
water jets. Add military-grade shock resistance and TÜV Rheinland
certification, and fans get a smartphone that’s not just stylish, but also
built to perform, rain or shine.
The realme 14 Pro 5G is
available for P21,999, while the flagship realme 14 Pro+ 5G retails for
P27,999, in all partner stores nationwide. As part of realme’s freebie giveaway
promo, every purchase of the realme 14 Pro Series 5G until July 18, entitles
buyers to get a free realme Buds T310 or realme Buds T300 worth up to PHP
1,999.
