<title>Through The Years, At Disvovery Primea&amp;apos;s Tapenade...</title>

<guid>https://philippine-times.com/through-the-years-at-disvovery-primeas-tapenade</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For over a decade, the fresh and vibrant notes of the sun-kissed Mediterranean cuisine at Tapenade lit up the ever-changing dining scene in Makati. And it continues to shine bright as ever with its repertoire of Mediterranean inspired dishes. Since my very first visit back in 2015, Tapenade in Discovery Primea has always been top-of-mind for Mediterranean flavors. Eleven years later, it still is...For establishments to reach its milestone eleventh year says a lot, and that&#039;s a big deal in the competitive food and beverage industry that&#039;s forever changing, adapting and evolving. Helmed by Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco since day one, Tapenade at Discovery Primea stayed true to its promise of serving the freshest flavors of the Mediterranean. A recent visit revealed new dishes for Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s own picks for the month as well as enduring bestsellers from the menu. Read on to see what&#039;s on the table. At Tapenade in Discovery Primea...Tapenade, and Discovery Primea have been part of my food blog&#039;s journey documenting the inaugural opening and its different campaigns and offerings through the years since 2015. My first memorable experience of Discovery Primea was at Tapenade with its rich Italian, Greek, Spanish and Moroccan inspired flavors (see my post, Discover Mediterranean Flavors At Discovery Primea&#039;s Tapenade from March 2015). Since then, I&#039;ve featured Tapenade as it explored the many and diverse flavors and cuisines of the Mediterranean (see some of my posts, Serious Beef. At Restaurant Tapenade. from 2016 showcasing their signature Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Savor The Flavors Of The Mediterranean Summer With Tapenade&#039;s All-New Menu from 2018, Mas Paella! Celebrate World Paella Day At Discovery Primea&#039;s Restaurant Tapenade from eight years ago, Inspired Mediterranean Flavors: A Taste Of The Mediterranean At Discovery Primea&#039;s Restaurant Tapenade from 2019, Dining In The Next Normal: Mediterranean Flavors Continue To Shine At Discovery Primea&#039;s Restaurant Tapenade from the long days of the quarantine experience in 2020 and Stay Home And Have Brunch With Discovery Primea&#039;s Tapenade On The Go Delivered To Your Doorstep from 2021). Tapenade at Discovery Primea continues to adapt and evolve responding to the changing market with new menus, expanding and diving much deeper into the region&#039;s varied cuisines. That day, we sampled some of Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s picks for the month but first, some tasty starters...From their extensive selection of tapas and antipasti, the Chicken Nuggets (P 520) with that sweet, spicy and savory play on flavors. Each bite opens up the palate with its unrestrained flavors with tender and mildly crisp chicken draped in spicy honey bbq glaze complemented by the vibrant hints of lemon, capers and fresh parsley......followed by the Tomatoes with Burrata and &quot;Miele Piccante&quot; (P 650) with sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, hot honey and silky smooth burrata. Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco weaves a medley of contrasting flavors with the fresh tartness of cherry tomatoes tempered by the soothing heat of hot honey and elegantly smoothened by the creamy burrata for that balanced finish. It&#039;s fresh and bold flavors like these that takes you straight to the Mediterranean right here at Tapenade. Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco then served the first of four picks for the month at Tapenade starting with the Mozzarella di Buffala Salad (P 480) with garden fresh organic greens, seedless grapes, Kalamata olives and candied walnuts tossed in a nutty and creamy hummus dressing. The sumptuous bowl of fresh and clean notes led by the Mozzarella di Buffala brings its indulgent richness to the salad followed by the tart sweetness of cherry tomatoes and seedless grapes, pronounced briny hints of kalamata olives and the subtle sharpness of the fresh basil and peppery hints of arugula neatly bound together by the velvety and nutty hummus dressing. Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s second pick for the month at Tapenade is the Lucban Longanissa Risotto (P 650) for a playfully inventive rendition infused with local flavors with soffritto, Spanish Pimenton de la Vera and the traditional local sausage. And it works. Prepared in the classic style with creamy Arborio rice with the smoky sweetness of slow-cooked bell peppers and fragrant Spanish paprika, the upfront garlicky notes of the local sausage competes the dish for a new and unique flavor experience. The dish &quot;gracefully marries the elegant technique of Italian risotto with the bold, smoky soul of a beloved Filipino ingredient,&quot; explained Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco. Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s third pick for the month is the Los Macarrones de la Lola (P 750), a comforting take with Spanish chorizo with its flavorful and even nostalgic smoky and sweet paprika notes. Imagine Spanish chorizo and indulgently rich and thick tomato sofrito sauce enriched with sweet onions and garlic on firm al dente rigatoni with just the right burst of added richness from the olive oil, lemon and parsley drizzle. It&#039;s the rich and rustic flavors you&#039;d expect from your abuela&#039;s kitchen, recreated at Tapenade. The dish also plays on textures to complement the layers of flavors, from the tangy freshness to just a whisper of heat from the spices to the satisfying chew. The Los Macarrones de la Lola warms the palate with its comforting flavors, and it&#039;s easy to see why this dish made the list for Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s picks for the month. And finally, the Pizza Caramella Blu (P 850) rounds out Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco&#039;s picks for the month at Tapenade. Fresh off Tapenade&#039;s brick oven, the Pizza Caramella Blu with caramelized onions, fresh arugula, Blue Cheese and Mozzarella on a crisp rustic crust brings a delectably salty and sweet medley of flavors with each bite. The white pizza variation brings elegantly balanced layers of sweetness from the caramelized onions and the distinct notes of tangy Blue Cheese complemented by the mild peppery hints of arugula and the silky finish of Mozzarella. The perfectly charred blisters on the edges of the crisp crust completes the experience. The Blue Cheese clearly is the star of the pizza, ably supported by a stellar cast of fresh and premium ingredients. In between bites, enjoy soothing sips of the Fresh Watermelon Shake, as Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco served more from Tapenade&#039;s repertoire of culinary creations......like the Spaghetti All&#039;Acqua di Pomodoro (P 550) highlighting pure elegance in its simplicity with tomato essence, butter and fresh basil. It&#039;s a deceptively simple and minimalist dish, yet the delicate and nuanced flavors lingers long on the palate for another must-try pasta offering from Tapenade&#039;s kitchen. The trio of fresh ingredients with the tomato essence, butter and basil combine for pure, clean and uncluttered notes. A dish intentionally kept to a bare minimum, it&#039;s a surprising rendition yet packed with flavor. That gradual release of richness after each bite of the soft yet firm al dente noodles is proof that a good pasta dish doesn&#039;t have to be complicated. That old saying &quot;less is more&quot; perfectly describes this dish, and this one&#039;s high up on my list.Tradition is at the core of Tapenade&#039;s menu with the classic carbonara done the old school way. The Spaghetti Carbonara (P 650 Solo/P 1,690 To Share) with crisp Guanciale, black pepper and egg yolk Parmesan sauce is a carbonara purists dream. With no cream added and using only Guanciale or cured pork jowl with a generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco highlights culinary tradition in one of many dishes at Tapenade. &quot;Guanciale, not Pancetta&quot; from the traditionalists comes through loud and clear in this execution. With a much higher fat content than the usual pork belly used for Pancetta and bacon, Guanciale adds a butter-like savory texture to any dish when rendered with deeper and intense pork flavors. The egg yolk and Parmesan sauce delivers all the indulgent savory textures and flavors for the base while the sharp notes of the Guanciale along with freshly ground black pepper cuts through the creamy richness for that elegantly balanced finish. At Tapenade, old school still rules in many of the dishes on the menu. Sous-vide and pan-roasted, the delicate notes of the tender and juicy chicken with lightly crisp edges take the spotlight for the next dish. The Pollo Marsala (P 1,250) with sauteed root vegetables and thick mushroom marsala sauce is another hearty number from Tapenade&#039;s savory playlist with hearty and rustic flavors. The earthy sweetness of the roasted root vegetables like potatoes and carrots and the nutty and fruity hints of the Marsala sauce with mushrooms gives this dish a flavorful depth complementing the sous-vide pan-roasted boneless chicken. The Sicilian wine-based sauce adds a complex yet comforting layer of rich notes to the dish, complemented by the supporting cast of root vegetables and mushrooms. Another dish anchored on tradition, the Pollo Marsala is a complete meal in itself. In the menu from the very beginning, the Salumi (P 890) continues to be a popular bestseller at Tapenade. Why? Imagine a crisp and rustic crust topped with Italian Guanciale, fennel sausage, bacon and creamy Mozzarella and you get the picture. It&#039;s easy to see why this pork-centric variant with Mozzarella and tart tomato-based sauce in a slice continues to be a hit at Tapenade. For dessert, Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco served two decadent options with the Tiramisu (P 450) with Mascarpone cream and espresso Lady Finger cookies......and the Baklava (P 380) with filo pastry, rose water, honey and pistachios to cap another Mediterranean feast at Tapenade. These are the enduring flavors of the Mediterranean, served daily at Tapenade for over a decade. And through the years, these vibrant flavors continues to shine at Discovery Primea...For more on Restaurant Tapenade at Discovery Primea, you can visit their website at https://www.discoveryprimea.com/welcome-to-tapenade and their FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/DiscoveryPrimeaMakati/ or call +63 2 7955 8888 for inquiries.Dude for Food is now on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, check out these social media accounts for regular updates on good eats.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For over a decade, the fresh and vibrant notes of the sun-kissed Mediterranean cuisine at Tapenade lit up the ever-changing dining scene in Makati. And it continues to shine bright as ever with its repertoire of Mediterranean inspired dishes. Since my very first visit back in 2015, Tapenade in Discovery Primea has always been top-of-mind for Mediterranean flavors. Eleven years later, it still is...For establishments to reach its milestone eleventh year says a lot, and that's a big deal in the competitive food and beverage industry that's forever changing, adapting and evolving. Helmed by Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco since day one, Tapenade at Discovery Primea stayed true to its promise of serving the freshest flavors of the Mediterranean. A recent visit revealed new dishes for Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco's own picks for the month as well as enduring bestsellers from the menu. Read on to see what's on the table. At Tapenade in Discovery Primea...Tapenade, and Discovery Primea have been part of my food blog's journey documenting the inaugural opening and its different campaigns and offerings through the years since 2015. My first memorable experience of Discovery Primea was at Tapenade with its rich Italian, Greek, Spanish and Moroccan inspired flavors (see my post, Discover Mediterranean Flavors At Discovery Primea's Tapenade from March 2015). Since then, I've featured Tapenade as it explored the many and diverse flavors and cuisines of the Mediterranean (see some of my posts, Serious Beef. At Restaurant Tapenade. from 2016 showcasing their signature Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Savor The Flavors Of The Mediterranean Summer With Tapenade's All-New Menu from 2018, Mas Paella! Celebrate World Paella Day At Discovery Primea's Restaurant Tapenade from eight years ago, Inspired Mediterranean Flavors: A Taste Of The Mediterranean At Discovery Primea's Restaurant Tapenade from 2019, Dining In The Next Normal: Mediterranean Flavors Continue To Shine At Discovery Primea's Restaurant Tapenade from the long days of the quarantine experience in 2020 and Stay Home And Have Brunch With Discovery Primea's Tapenade On The Go Delivered To Your Doorstep from 2021).

<media:keywords>Filipino, Singer-Songwriter, SHANNi, Reflects, Betrayal, and, Toxic, Relationships, New, Single, ‘Teleserye’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><i>The melodic but dreamy pop-rock track pairs infectiousness with somber introspection</i></span></p>
<p><span>Fresh off from the success of her last single “</span><b>Sikretong Tayo Lang May Alam</b><span>,” which entered the </span><b>Spotify Viral 50 Philippines</b><span> chart and surpassed a million streams within five months, </span><b>SHANNi </b><span>continues her upward trajectory with the release of her new single “</span><b><a href="https://sng.to/shanni2/teleserye">Teleserye</a></b><span>”—out today via </span><b>Sony Music Entertainment</b><span>. </span></p>
<p><span>Driven by conversational lyrics and emotionally poignant storytelling, the alt-pop newcomer pours her heart out on betrayal and manipulation that comes from toxic relationships and friendships. On “Teleserye,” she paints a familiar portrait of having endured chaos in silence before ultimately finding the courage to walk away and find her peace in the process.</span></p>
<p><span>SHANNi explains, “</span><span><i>Teleserye </i></span><span>feels like a huge step for me creatively and emotionally. After the success of “</span><b>Sikretong Tayo Lang May Alam</b><span>,” I realized I wanted to become more fearless when it comes to storytelling and expressing vulnerability in my music. With this release, I became more intentional about writing from a place that’s completely honest and personal instead of trying to filter my emotions.”</span></p>
<p><span>SHANNi channeled a real-life experience into her art, writing from a place of hurt and honesty. Rather than suppressing it, she used songwriting as a form of healing and self-expression.</span></p>
<p><span>“A lot of the inspiration behind </span><span><i>Teleserye</i></span><span> came from real emotions and experiences that genuinely affected me emotionally,” shares the young artist. “There were moments where everything felt overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally draining, and writing became my way of processing those feelings instead of letting them consume me. Rather than reacting impulsively or doing something I might regret, I chose to pour those emotions into music and turn them into something creative.”</span></p>
<p><span>Musically, “Teleserye” reveals a somber but inviting pop-rock sound that combines infectious hooks with introspective themes. The contrast between layered and dreamy upbeat textures and emotionally weighty lyricism reflects the complicated strains of real-life emotions, particularly relatable to young listeners going through a rough patch.  </span></p>
<p><span>For SHANNi, the intentional take on the sound design captures the experience of people hurting deep down while still trying to keep things light on the surface. </span></p>
<p><span>“When creating music, I usually start by thinking about how I want listeners to feel emotionally before they fully process the lyrics,” the </span><span><i>Kdrama</i></span><span> singer-songwriter admits. “I love the idea of someone being pulled in by a melody that feels addictive, then slowly realizing there’s actually a vulnerable and emotional story underneath everything. That contrast creates a stronger emotional impact because listeners experience both. Sometimes, difficult topics can feel heavy, so balancing them with melodic hooks and catchy production allows people to connect with the emotions without feeling completely weighed down by them. I think that balance is part of what makes my music feel honest and relatable because people experience emotions in complicated ways too.”</span></p>
<p><span>The track was written and co-produced by SHANNi with her longtime collaborators </span><b>Max Cinco</b><span>, </span><b>Ezekiel Diaz</b><span>, </span><b>Dave Silonga</b><span>, and </span><b>Raine Roque</b><span>. Honing a collaborative environment that enables vulnerability and experimentation to coexist throughout the creative process, “Teleserye” reveals a sonically engaging sound that strikes a balance between crossover appeal and creative integrity. </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ When the sweltering heat of summer slows you down, just chill. The new 2026 Summer Collection by Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream showcasing familiar and comforting local flavors is now available to lift you through summer in the most indulgent and decadent way yet. This is Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream&#039;s summer...Halo-Halo, latik, nata de coco, macapuno, chocolate, pineapple and calamansi, flavors and ingredients that have defined the local dessert culture for generations are reinvented for a nostalgic rediscovery of timeless indulgences. And who else can casually pull it off like Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream with that creative style and flair that&#039;s been the local brand&#039;s signature from the very start. And this summer, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream honors the local culinary tradition with imaginative renditions in ice cream, sorbet and ice cream bar form with its 2026 Summer Collection. Read on for the full scoop...The timeless and traditional shaved ice dessert, Halo-Halo remains an iconic dessert staple that&#039;s as popular as ever. A summer fave enjoyed all year long, you can find the ubiquitous iced dessert in humble street stalls to restaurants and hotels. And Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream does a fitting and proper tribute with not one but three variants to fully capture the essence and depth of the nostalgic all-time classic. And this is where Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream&#039;s wizardry shines...First, the Halo-Halo Classic.  An homage to the well-loved and enduring dessert, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream recreates the decadent medley of flavors with Ube Ice Cream, kaong, red monggo, buko and langka capped by a ribbon of leche flan in every spoonful delivering all the sweetness and textures of the classic Halo-Halo just the way you remember it. In ice cream form, all the flavors and textures come together in a smooth and elegantly seamless weave. Halo-Halo in a scoop? This is it. Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream then presents its own fruit-forward rendition with the Halo-Halo Sebastian&#039;s Style with its harmonious yet balanced blend of rich flavors, vibrant colors and contrasting textures using their Blackberry Ice Cream as the creamy and indulgent base mixed with the trio of Mango, Raspberry and Kamias Sorbets with soft chunks of nata de coco and Fuji Apple finished with a luscious ribbon of coconut cream leche flan. That complex yet delicate play on sweetness and tartness brings bright notes to the palate, smoothened by the rich coconut cream leche flan. Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream then draws inspiration from the &quot;white halo-halo&quot; of Pampanga with the Halo-Halo Pampanga Style. The creation captures the multiple layers of flavors with Macapuno Ice Cream, pastillas de leche, sweetened saba bananas, and more of the good stuff with the silky smooth leche flan ribbon. Each spoonful takes you back to carefree childhood summers, and Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream nails it perfectly. Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream knows local flavors, who can forget their refreshing ampalaya sorbet wittingly called Unresolved Issues? Or the Green Mango and Bagoong, Sapin-Sapin, Itlog na Maalat and Champorado and Dilis? It&#039;s this daring innovation with surprising and even unexpected flavors that earned the local brand a reputation for creative and imaginative ice cream renditions (for more on Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream&#039;s take on local flavors, see my previous post Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream Highlights Classic And Traditional Filipino Flavors With Its New Christmas Collection from November 2023). The decadent trifecta of inventive Halo-Halo expressions presents three good reasons to order online or visit Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream. But there&#039;s more...Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream raises the bar once more with its new line of Ice Cream Bars for the 2026 Summer Collection. Inspired by American candy bars Almond Joy and Mounds both featuring coconut flakes, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream developed its own ice cream using non-dairy coconut cream with coconut flakes draped in Risa Chocolate. The Filipino artisan chocolate brand, sourcing its cacao from South Cotabato, completes the weave of indulgent flavors and textures in the new Ice Cream Bar offerings for the 2026 Summer Collection (for more on Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream&#039;s specialty bars, see my post Bar None: Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream Raises The Bar Once More With The New Candy Bar Inspired Dive Bar Collection from October last year). For the latest edition, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream highlights coconut as the key ingredient in all three variants......led by the Coconut Latik Pili Ice Cream Bar with Coconut Cream Ice Cream layered with Latik Caramel and Roasted Pili Nuts tediously hand-dipped in Risa Milk Chocolate. Sweet, creamy and nutty, the Coconut Latik Pili Ice Cream Bar is both familiar and refreshingly new. Each ingredient complements the other from the smooth coconut cream ice cream to the sweet latik caramel and the sweet crunch of roasted pili nuts for one cool ice cream bar. The indulgent trifecta of coconut, chocolate and almonds becomes a tempting proposition you just can&#039;t pass up with the Coconut Almond Ice Cream Bar. Imagine rich Coconut Ice Cream topped with Roasted Almonds and hand-dipped in Risa Chocolate. The distinct hints of coconut and almonds are enhanced by the bold notes of chocolate for another must-try ice cream bar from Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream. From the delicate crispness of the chocolate shell to the almonds, the Coconut Almond Ice Cream Bar plays on textural contrasts while delivering a lingering deep and rich sweetness in a bar. The Coconut Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bar is pure dark chocolate goodness in a bar with silky smooth Coconut Ice Cream draped in Risa 70% Dark Chocolate sprinkled with Roasted Coconut Flakes for even more flavor and textures. Vegan and dairy-free, the Coconut Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bar is by far the purest expression of coconut and dark chocolate goodness in a bar. Coconut and chocolate combine for a decadent duo presented in three exquisite ice cream bar expressions by Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream. But Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream isn&#039;t done just yet...Completing the 2026 Summer Collection is a light yet rich trio of refreshing Sorbets honoring yet another proudly homegrown ingredient. The familiar Nata de Coco is a key ingredient in many traditional local desserts that&#039;s slowly gaining popularity worldwide. The soft, chewy, jelly-like treat was created by chemist Teódula Kalaw Africa from Lipa back in 1949 by fermenting coconut water. Now appearing in many foreign brands and products, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream reclaims this 100% Filipino creation for his new line of Sorbets.The trio of Sorbets include the Nata de Coco Buko made with fresh buko juice for clean and uncluttered coconut notes made richer with the addition of nata de coco. The sweet tartness of the Nata de Coco Pinya made with pineapple juice and the Nata de Coco Calamansi with freshly squeezed calamansi adds a vibrant flavor element to the sorbets teasing the palate with flavorful bursts of fruity notes while cooling you down from the summer heat. From the new Halo-Halo Series to the Coconut Ice Cream Bars and refreshing Nata de Coco Sorbets, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream celebrates both homegrown flavors and contemporary innovation with the 2026 Summer Collection for a fitting homage to local culinary tradition. From scoops and bars, ice cream and sorbets, rediscover the nostalgic flavors of coconut, chocolate and nata de coco with the new 2026 Summer Collection by Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream. This summer, stay cool in that indulgent Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream style with the new 2026 Summer Collection. Ice cream, sorbet or bars, Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream has you covered. All summer offerings are now available at the flagship shop at The Podium. You can also conveniently order the Halo-Halo flavors and Coconut Ice Cream Bars online at https://sebastiansicecream.com/. With nine new and lavish creations showcasing local flavors added to their impressive repertoire of frozen selections, this is Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream&#039;s summer. It&#039;s time to celebrate it with a visit to Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream...For more information on Sebastian&#039;s Ice Cream, visit their website and online store at https://sebastiansicecream.com/ for orders, pick-up and delivery.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><i>The Marikina-based trio delivers a no-skips album driven by blues-infused rock ’n’ roll and working-class struggles</i></span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-23-134021.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246533" alt="" width="1023" height="680" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-23-134021.png 1023w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-23-134021-300x199.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px"></p>
<p><span>Filipino blues rock trio </span><b>AME</b><span> has officially released </span><b><i><a href="https://lnk.to/Ame-KwentongBarbero">Kwentong Barbero</a></i></b><span>, a seven-track album that tackles the unfiltered realities of everyday Filipino life. As one of the few active blues bands in the local music scene, AME takes the genre to a thrilling new place through its riveting balance of classic blues sound, ‘70s psychedelic rock, and contemporary punk edge.</span></p>
<p><span>Redefining OPM with their eclectic sound and personality, </span><span><i>Kwentong Barbero</i></span><span> delivers a record wity easygoing charm and confidence. The retro-modern album features previously released singles “</span><b>Ipagpatawad Mo</b><span>,” “</span><b>Hala Bira</b><span>,” and “</span><b>Palaboy</b><span>,” alongside four new tracks ready to hit hard and stay with the listeners until the final note.</span></p>
<p><span>From the urban grit of “</span><b>BluKolar</b><span>” to the poignant farewell in “</span><b>Langit</b><span>,” the record paints vibrant stories of love, survival, identity, and hope into anthems that cut across generations. “BluKolar,” in particular, connects the album to broader themes of labor, migration, and resilience, grounding AME’s music in the everyday struggles and aspirations of Filipino communities. </span></p>
<p><span>Tracks like “</span><b>Sana Makapili</b><span>” stands out for its reflective patriotism, while heartfelt stompers like “</span><b>Sandal</b><span>” reveals the band’s vulnerable side both as songwriters and performers. The result is a well-rounded, no-skips album that balances emotional depth with the glorious raggedness of rock n’ roll.</span></p>
<p><span>Musically, AME’s new record serves as both a homage to the timeless tradition of Filipino storytelling and the trio’s infectiously gritty approach to blues-infused rock music.</span></p>
<p><b>Tracklist</b></p>
<ol>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Sana Makapili</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Palaboy</span></li>

<p><b><i>AME’s debut album, <a href="https://lnk.to/Ame-KwentongBarbero">Kwentong Barbero</a> is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via evosound Philippines.</i></b></p>
<p><b>About AME</b></p>
<p><span>AME is an indie-alternative rock blues band from Marikina known for their genre-bending sound that fuses nostalgic rock influences with modern pop sensibilities and emotionally charged lyricism. Since emerging in 2019, the band has steadily built a growing following through music that balances youthful energy with introspective storytelling — from the infectious groove of Ipagpatawad Mo to the heartfelt collaboration Balang Araw with Frank Ely, and now their upcoming album, Kwentong Barbero.</span></p>

The record was followed by a global arena tour in which every show paid tribute to </span><span lang="EN-GB"><b>Mark</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">After the tour ended,</span><span lang="EN-GB"><b> Danny</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> found himself energised and inspired.

<p><span lang="EN-GB">Recorded in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, the result is an album in which Danny has established a powerful sense of purpose and direction for the next stage of the band, full of the real, emotional, soul-deep connection that their fans have come to love.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Danny </span><span lang="EN-GB">says, </span><span lang="EN-GB"><i>“The title is what this album is about. If you need something to remind you of the spectrum of feelings and emotions that make you feel human, this is it.”</i></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The skyscraping ambition of </span><span lang="EN-GB"><b>‘Man In The Arena’ </b></span><span lang="EN-GB">lives up to its title, with a hard-hitting R&B groove suddenly bursting into a classic</span><span lang="EN-GB"><b> Script </b></span><span lang="EN-GB">mega-chorus built for the biggest of stages: a rousing </span><span lang="EN-GB"><b>Danny O’Donoghue</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> delivers a typically charismatic vocal, with lyrics that affirm that the person who dares to put themselves in the spotlight is infinitely braver than anyone who criticises from the sidelines.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Today, </span><b><i>Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)</i></b><span>, a new live album and concert film from 3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse </span><b>Dua Lipa</b><span>, is now available across all platforms. Fans can listen to the live album, released via Warner Records, </span><b><a href="https://dualipa.lnk.to/LiveFromMexico">HERE</a></b><span> and watch the concert film for free on </span><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dualipa">Dua’s YouTube channel</a></b><span>. Physical copies of the live album available to order </span><b><a href="https://dualipa.lnk.to/LiveFromMexico">HERE</a></b><span> and will begin shipping June 5th.</span></p>
<p><span><i>Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)</i></span><span> was recorded and filmed during the epic finale of her global Radical Optimism Tour, and includes a duet with Fher Olvera from the band Maná as part of the show where Dua performed bespoke covers unique to the city she was in. The two performed the band’s classic 1992 hit “Oye Mi Amor,” which </span><b>Billboard</b> <b>Latin</b><span> said turned the stadium into “a massive karaoke session celebrating one of the most iconic rock en español bands in the world.” Listen to </span><b>“Oye Mi Amor (ft. Fher de Maná) (Live From Mexico)”</b> <b><a href="https://dualipa.lnk.to/OyeMiAmor">HERE</a></b><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Throughout the tour, Dua often performed these covers and duets in the local language to honor each city and did so in nine different languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Czech, Dutch, German, Portuguese, and Albanian. The moment became a fan-favorite part of the show with </span><b>Rolling</b> <b>Stone</b><span> praising it as “a joyful look back at music history, through the lens of one of today’s most exciting pop stars.” </span></p>
<p><span>The Radical Optimism Tour culminated in 92 shows across five continents, including back-to-back sold out dates at Wembley Stadium, with over 1.75 million tickets sold across the global trek. The tour received rave reviews around the world with the </span><b>Los Angeles Times </b><span>calling it “unquestionably the most creative, rigorous and musicianship-driven tour of her career,” the </span><b>BBC</b><span> praising it was “a powerhouse performance from a star at the top of their game,” and </span><b>Vogue Mexico</b><span> confirming it was “an epic night, one to remember.” The tour went on to be crowned one of the best concerts of 2025 from </span><b>The Hollywood Reporter</b><span>, who commended its “awe-inspiring production,” along with </span><b>USA</b> <b>Today</b><span>, </span><b>NYLON</b><span>, and </span><b>Variety</b><span> who said it was “yet another testament to how singular she remains in the ever-changing pop landscape.”</span></p>

<media:keywords>The, All-American, Rejects, Officially, Return, with, ‘Sandbox’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The All-American Rejects</strong> officially return with <strong><em>‘Sandbox’</em></strong>, the band’s first full-length record in 14 years. Signalling a triumphant new chapter fuelled by renewed energy, perspective, and a healthy dose of chaos, <strong><em>‘Sandbox’</em></strong> finds the group embracing exactly who.</p>
<p>Produced by frontman Tyson Ritter, lead guitarist Nick Wheeler, and Scott Chesak, the new record captures the band at their most self-assured and creatively unfiltered. Led by Ritter’s songwriting, the album balances the band’s signature anthemic hooks with a sharper, more reflective perspective shaped by time, growth, and the chaos of adulthood.</p>
<p>“<em>The record touches on themes of reconciling youth, finally having to stand on your own two feet as an adult, and facing the outside world,</em>” says Ritter. “<em>‘Sandbox’ has helped me survive in this modern age – not only where I am in my life, but in the world.</em>”</p>
<p>At its core,<em> <strong>‘Sandbox’</strong></em> is about reconciliation with identity, with aging, with the past, and with the messy realities of adulthood. For the first time in their career, the band isn’t chasing relevance, trends, or radio hits. Instead, they’re grounded in the truth of who they are as a “blue-collar rock band” that never quite fit a scene but persevered anyway. The title reflects that philosophy. It’s a world where anything can be built, broken, or rediscovered. It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and limitless, much like the album itself.</p>
<p>The band is wrapping up the latest run of their viral “Mike’s Dirty Lemonade Presents The All-American Rejects House Party Tour”, tonight with a special show in New York City. The tour has transformed unconventional spaces into unforgettable live experiences, with recent stops including a high school with the Savannah Bananas, frat houses and even ships on this latest set of shows.Since launching last year, the “House Party Tour” has become a cultural phenomenon, redefining the traditional concert experience by bringing fans face-to-face with the band in intimate, unpredictable settings.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_2007.jpg" class="size-full wp-image-246575" width="1156" height="1200" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_2007.jpg 1156w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_2007-289x300.jpg 289w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_2007-986x1024.jpg 986w" sizes="(max-width: 1156px) 100vw, 1156px"></p>
<p>The All-American Rejects have always thrived as a band that speaks directly to people rather than trends. On <strong><em>‘Sandbox’ – </em></strong>their <strong>first independent release and first full-length album in 14 years</strong> – that instinct feels sharper than ever. It’s the sound of rock’s unsung anti-heroes doing what they do best, pulling no punches, and delivering sticky and sometimes sweet anthems. The record explores identity, growth, and adulthood without losing the sharp, hook-driven songwriting that defined a generation of fans raised on <em>“Gives You Hell”</em> and <em>“Dirty Little Secret”</em>. Nearly two decades on, the band’s connection to Southeast Asia remains strong, with the <strong>Philippines and Indonesia currently ranking among The All-American Rejects’ TOP 5 listening markets worldwide</strong>, with <strong>Singapore</strong> and <strong>Malaysia</strong> <wbr>continuing to rank prominently among the band’s global audience.</wbr></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>ALYSON, Drops, Sophomore, Album, ‘AFTER, OURS’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><i>Now available on all digital music platforms worldwide, the 8-track release unfolds like a single emotional journey: carefully sequenced, richly detailed, and impossible to skip.</i></span></p>
<p><span><i>Manila, Philippines</i></span><span> – Following the radiant charm of their critically acclaimed debut </span><b><i>DEFINITELY LOVE!</i></b><span>, </span><b>ALYSON </b><span>returns to the spotlight with </span><b><i>AFTER OURS</i></b><span>—a sonically ambitious sophomore album released via </span><b>Offshore Music Philippines</b><span>. </span></p>
<p><span>ALYSON’s second full-length album lingers in the aftermath of a romantic connection, exploring uncertainty after intimacy, the temptation that complicates devotion, and the painful realization that love endures not through perfection but through choice. Embracing a more sophisticated approach to songwriting and production, </span><b><i>AFTER OURS</i></b><span> treats the art of listening to albums as a sanctimonious experience, with each track carefully sequenced and every detail presented with intentionality at every level. </span></p>
<p><span>In an era increasingly dominated by algorithmic design and standalone singles, ALYSON wants listeners to rediscover the beauty of experiencing albums as complete bodies of work that are meant to be lived through in sequence, with no skips. The record feels like one long night stretching into dawn.</span></p>
<p><b>Here’s a track-by-track description:</b></p>
<ol>
<li aria-level="1"><span>IKAW LAGI</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span>Opening the record with festive beats and magnetic arrangements, “IKAW LAGI” is described as a “summery, ‘80s Latin-disco anthem” where the feelings of attraction and love are amplified to the max by its inescapable energy. The dancefloor-ready track captures the excitement of attraction at the beginning of a night out: where possibility is endless and every glance feels electrifying.</span></p>
<p><span>2. LANDI</span></p>
<p><span>A nighttime 80’s dancefloor track that takes listeners deeper into the long night, the song transports you to the set of the 1987 film, </span><b><i>Dirty Dancing</i></b><span>. It brings back the physicality and intimacy introduced in the previous album, showing two people unexpectedly synchronized to the beat amidst the chaos of the dance floor, getting closer, skin to skin, almost to a sensual breaking point.</span></p>
<p><span>3. BIGHANI</span></p>
<p><span>Exploring the connection between city pop and Brazilian tropical rhythms, the track marks the emotional escalation of the album. Beneath its shimmering production lies an internal conflict: temptation can drive a person crazy after a wonderful night, leading them to question their outlook on loyalty and love.</span></p>
<p><span>4. KUNG SAKALING TANAWIN</span></p>
<p><span>Delivering the record’s grandest emotional statements, the track gloriously channels the Manila Sound ballads from the ‘70s and ‘80s with sweeping orchestral arrangements ala Basil Valdez and Rey Valera. Drunk with nostalgia and yearning, the track meditates on the painful beauty of memory, asking whether love would still be chosen if one already knew how complicated and fragile everything would become.</span></p>
<p><span>5. TALAGA </span></p>
<p><span>A playful synth-pop track inspired by both Pinoy and Japanese pop sensibilities circa 1986, the track chronicles a lover’s quarrel filled with teasing tension and undeniable chemistry. </span></p>
<p><span>The release of the song is accompanied by a </span><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMGGF_Ytmd4">music video</a></b><span> that pays tribute to the late-night music television performances of the ’80s and ‘90s (e.g., Ryan Ryan Musikahan). It also features rising pop artist Paprikka, who is known for her charismatic singing and soulful delivery.</span></p>
<p><span>6. GOODBYE, SUMMER</span></p>
<p><span>Integrating big band jazz, Motown grooves, city pop, and crooner-style Manila Sound into one cohesive package, “GOODBYE, SUMMER” is considered one of the album’s technical highlights. The groovy tune captures the exhaustion of heartbreak while confronting the lingering pain that still shadows it.</span></p>
<p><span>7. 24/7 LOVE & CARE</span></p>
<p><span>Handpicked as the album’s focus track, the song embodies the accessibility and warmth that define ALYSON in their sincerest form. Featuring a simpler arrangement centered largely around the band’s five core members, the track represents clarity after emotional turbulence: a realization that despite temptation, confusion, and imperfection, there remains comfort and peace in enduring love.</span></p>
<p><span>8. ‘DI MAKAPANIWALA</span></p>
<p><span>Sitting at the intersection of Japanese City Pop and Manila Sound, “‘DI MAKAPANIWALA” is an earnest closing track meant to cap off the emotional complexities of a night that was. It’s a simple message of hopefulness for a love that can make it to the dawn. Credits roll.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Since 1987, one name stands as the undisputed pioneer in the Certified Angus Beef steak dining experience. Today, Carmelo &quot;Melo&quot; Santiago&#039;s legacy continues with Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse helmed by Chef Cristina Santiago. The upscale establishment maintains the same high standards and fine dining tradition honoring the founder&#039;s vision complemented by Chef Cristina Santiago&#039;s own unique and modern culinary style. Step inside Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse and rediscover one man&#039;s legacy preserved and maintained for a fresh new chapter and a continuing story in the local dining scene...Opened back in 2024, Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse in The Proscenium Retail Row marked yet another milestone honoring Carmelo &quot;Melo&quot; Santiago&#039;s culinary legacy as a fitting tribute to the growing number of restaurants that bears his name. This tradition is now passed on to the founder&#039;s daughter, Chef Cristina Santiago following the same culinary journey with even more flavorful stories to share. A modern and contemporary approach to flavors grounded on tradition becomes the foundation for the Michelin Selected Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse&#039;s own identity, presented in a variety of dishes from their catering operations as well as new offerings from their a la carte menu. Read on for a tasty peek...Thirty-nine years since the first restaurant opened, Carmelo &quot;Melo&quot; Santiago redefined the local steak dining experience showcasing premium Certified Angus Beef. It&#039;s no surprise that his name continues to be associated with premium steaks to this day, celebrated in the countless restaurants that bears his name. Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse in The Proscenium Retail Row is perhaps the most elegant and luxurious expression of the now iconic brand, solidifying one man&#039;s vision and legacy in the local culinary mainstream. Chef Cristina Santiago ensures her elevated expression of the brand remains consistent with the founder&#039;s vision, updated with a modern culinary style. And it seems to work, with Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse&#039;s inclusion in the inaugural list of Michelin Selected restaurants in the country. The main dining area is the first link in a continuous loop of sensory layers that define your dining experience at Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse. From the elegant space at the main dining area......to the intimate private room, Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse is the perfect stage for a memorable feast. Throughout the elegant space, Chef Cristina Santiago creates both the mood and tone for a memorable experience. Inside the private room, a fitting tribute to the founder links Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse with its past. One of Manila&#039;s enduring establishments, few have stood the test of time as gracefully as the pioneering local steakhouse brand (for more on the lasting legacy of the founder, see my post A Perfect CAB Lunch At Melo&#039;s from way back in 2012). And with Chef Cristina Santiago at the helm of Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse, diners can expect even more exciting things ahead. The feast at Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse began with an exquisite Amuse Bouche of Carmelo&#039;s Paté, Foie Gras Cornette, Salted Egg Shrimp, Braised Duck Bites and a savory Beef Wellington Tart. Each intricate nibble brings a medley of contrasting textures and pure, fresh flavors, teasing the palate in an impressive opening act. The beautifully plated Seafood Ceviche with succulent salmon, tuna and sea bass on flavorful fish stock enriched with leche de tigre and sweet nata de coco brings an elegant weave of clean flavors with each tasty bite. The buttery notes of salmon, the briny sweetness of tuna and the delicate richness of the sea bass infused with the bright vibrant hints of the leche de tigre combine for indulgent fresh flavors. You may also opt to pair the exquisite courses with the signature handcrafted cocktails from the bar, like the Tropical Burn with tequila, spiced mango and chili. The deep notes of tequila are perfectly tempered by the sweetness of mango with just a whisper of soothing heat to complete the flavors. A comforting bowl of Pumpkin Soup with crisp croutons warms the palate with its rustic richness. The sweet and earthy hints soon drapes the palate, warming it with subtle yet lingering flavors and an elegant silky smoothness.  Enjoy soothing sips of the refreshingly crisp Prism Fresca with its blend of gin, mint and citrus in between hearty sips of the Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse&#039;s Pumpkin Soup for a winning pairing. For the savory mains, Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse served its Chorizo Vodka Pasta and Wagyu Ribeye......as an homage to the timeless brand&#039;s steak heritage and tradition. Firm al dente noodles masterfully tossed with pan-seared chorizo in vodka sauce, each bite brings comforting even nostalgic flavors to the palate. But it&#039;s the char-grilled Wagyu Ribeye that clearly celebrates the heritage of Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse. Like butter, each bite releases a juicy and rich burst of beefy notes. Perfectly seasoned, no sauce needed. Pair it with the bold notes of the St. Germain, an elegantly smooth concoction with rum, sparkling water and elderflower. One of the new dishes from Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse&#039;s menu, the Lamb Brasato Ossobuco was then served. Oven baked and then slow braised until fork-tender and fall-off-the-bone in an indulgently rich red wine au jus on velvety mashed potatoes, the Lamb Brasato Ossobuco presents another colorful page in the continuing story of the local steakhouse brand. With no gamey hints just pure bold and clean flavors, the centerpiece dish is another worthy addition to the premium steak selection at Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse. The savory richness of the lamb is perfectly complemented by the red wine au jus ably supported by the cast of smooth and buttery mashed potatoes and vegetables. Each component from the lamb and red wine au jus to the mashed potatoes and vegetables come together for a sumptuous dish executed with that distinctive &quot;Carmelo&#039;s Way&quot; touch.  But save room for dessert. The L&#039;Amour is Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse&#039;s very own version of the popular Burnt Cheesecake with biscuit crumble. The silky finish and flavorful creamy richness of L&#039;Amour paired with biscuit crumble and fresh strawberries brings its own delectable play of decadent notes and textural contrasts for that picture perfect sweet ending at Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse.... ...best paired with a freshly brewed Cafe Latte. From starters and appetizers to savory mains, cocktails and dessert, Chef Cristina Santiago preserves and celebrates the family&#039;s culinary legacy at Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse. Building on tradition and updated with a contemporary flair consistent with &quot;The Carmelo&#039;s Way,&quot; expect even more stories created by Chef Cristina Santiago at The Proscenium Retail Row...Carmelo&#039;s Steakhouse is located at the Second Floor, The Proscenium Retail Row, The Proscenium Residences, Rockwell Center, Estrella Street, Makati City.

<media:keywords>LEYO, Releases, Self-Written, Song, ‘Torpe’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Torpe”,written and composed by LEYO, captures the quiet tension of unspoken love and the courage it takes to finally admit what’s been long felt. Rooted in the all-too-familiar experience of being “torpe” or too shy to confess, the track resonates with a generation navigating vulnerability in a culture that often romanticizes hesitation. Built on gentle melodies and emotionally earnest vocals, “Torpe” leans into intimacy rather than grandiosity, allowing its sincerity to land. The repetition of “ikaw” mirrors fixation and longing, while the gradual swell of the arrangement reflects the internal build-up toward confession. Tender, hopeful, and slightly anxious, the song fits naturally into OPM love ballads, confession-core, slow dance, and late-night feelings playlists, appealing to listeners holding onto almosts, maybes, and what-ifs.</p>

<p>“LEYO is a breakout Filipino artist emerging as one of the most promising new voices in OPM. His cover of Blue Jeans’ classic“Paniwalaan” went viral on TikTok, generating over 93,000 creations, and becoming a widely used soundtrack that introduced his warm, soothing vocals to a new generation of listeners.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Known for his smooth delivery and acoustic-leaning pop sound, LEYO captures the Gen Z experience with sincerity and emotional depth. His original songs “Kapag Umuulan” and “Kung Magugunaw Ang Mundo” showcase his introspective songwriting and lyrical maturity, resonating through stories of love and everyday life.”</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Autumn (Reimagined)” is a fresh take on a fan-favorite from Ben&Ben that revisits the ache of love shaped by distance and timing. Rooted in folk-pop with a more spacious and atmospheric feel, the track leans into gentle instrumentals and emotive vocals that capture late-night longing, unanswered questions, and the slow pull toward acceptance. It traces the tension between holding on and letting go, moving from quiet yearning to a sense of clarity and peace. Tender and introspective, the song fits seamlessly into late-night acoustic, heartbreak, and healing playlists, offering a comforting companion for listeners sitting with memories, distance, and moving forward.</p>

<media:keywords>NEW, LORE, Gets, Soft, with, ‘girlhood’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW LORE’s “girlhood” is a standout alt-pop release from a rising voice in introspective pop. It explores soft, intimate love—shared rituals, emotional safety, and quiet alignment—framing connection beyond spectacle. Airy, lo-fi production underscores its tender core. Ideal for alt-pop and indie playlists centered on modern girlhood, soft romance, and emotionally driven listening.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-246404" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/New-Lore-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="853" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/New-Lore-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/New-Lore-225x300.jpg 225w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/New-Lore.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></p>
<p><strong>About the Artist</strong></p>
<p>NEW LORE is art you can feel before you understand it, a fashionable all-girl band from the Philippines making music that blurs the line between gallery walls and the dance floor. Their sound lives in the space between chaos and confession: glitchy synths, aching basslines, and lyrics that sting like truth told too late. They make music for the romantics with rage, the loners with playlists, and the kids who cry in the club then sketch it later. It’s pop that feels like poetry, a fever dream of feeling too much and saying too little. Six months into existence, NEW LORE dropped their debut album Grief Cake, a cinematic collection that landed on Spotify’s .ORG, Poses, and New Music Friday across Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They’re the kind of band the Philippines is still sleeping on, a new generation of artists turning heartbreak into high art and vulnerability into something that moves.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The milestone comes on the heels of the massive success of his album “KOLORCOASTER,” which produced fan-favorite hits such as “Dilaw,” “Namumula,” and “kahel na langit.” Bringing the vibrant world of the album to the international audiences, Maki is set to perform at The Theater at Mediacorp, Singapore on June 13 and in Bengkel Space, Jakarta, Indonesia on June 14, with additional stops in North America, Australia, and New Zealand to be announced soon.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before kicking off the tour, the Kapamilya singer-songwriter is set to drop his new single “habangbuhay pansamantala” on Friday (May 24).

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>MANILA, PHILIPPINES </strong>– Can one smartphone recreate the feel of a professional fashion shoot from multiple camera perspectives? </p>



<p>vivo set out to prove exactly that during its vivo V70 Photography Masterclass on April 30, 2025, where celebrated Filipino fashion photographer BJ Pascual demonstrated how the smartphone’s ZEISS co-engineered camera system uses five distinct focal lengths to produce cinematic portraits, editorial-style framing, and striking close-up shots all within a single device.</p>



<p>As lighting shifted and compositions changed throughout the live shoot, attendees witnessed how the vivo V70 transformed everyday mobile photography into a more immersive and expressive creative experience.</p>

<p><strong>ZEISS Multifocal Portrait: 85mm and 100mm</strong></p>



<p>BJ explained how different focal lengths create different looks. </p>



<p>”The 85mm is considered a classic portrait lens. It gives a natural perspective with slight compression, which flatters the face.The 100mm, on the other hand, is more compressed. It’s perfect for close-ups because it isolates the subject and highlights details without distortion,” he said.</p>

<p>During the on-site shoot, BJ used both focal lengths to capture stunning images of Nicole Cordoves, demonstrating the cinematic portrait effect of the vivo V70, which offers both texture and professional charm.</p>



<p>He paired the portrait shot with ZEISS Style Bokeh using the ZEISS Sonnar style with 85mm that gives soft flares and a cinematic blue-yellow tone, while 100mm is the ZEISS Planar style for a softer, more refined look with a slightly desaturated tone.</p>



<p><strong>AI Stage Mode: From environment to detail</strong></p>



<p>”Originally, this feature was designed for concerts and festivals, situations where your subject is far away and moving. But creatively, we can use that same capability for editorial photography,” BJ shared</p>

<p><strong>1x main camera focal length —</strong> Equipped with a 50MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera, the vivo V70 naturally renders the relationship between the subject and its surroundings, delivering precise, true-to-life expression under real lighting and spatial conditions. The result is imagery that boasts both narrative depth and visual balance, making it the go-to choice for environmental portraits and daily life documentation.</p>



<p><strong>3x mid-telephoto focal length — </strong>With ZEISS optics and advanced algorithmic optimization, this focal length strikes a sophisticated balance between subject prominence and background separation. It preserves a professional composition aesthetic while retaining natural spatial depth, empowering users to capture more stylish, expressive street portraits and creative frames with ease.</p>



<p><strong>10x super telephoto capability —</strong> Combined with AI image enhancement and Stage Mode optimization, the vivo V70 ensures stable, clear capture of facial expressions and fine details, even when shooting at long distances or in complex lighting environments. Whether it’s stage photography, event coverage, or distant scene capture, this super telephoto capability consistently delivers high-quality, professional-grade results.</p>



<p>During BJ’s live demonstration, the vivo V70 went beyond being just a photography tool to showcase remarkable practical value. From seamlessly switching between the 85mm and 100mm portrait focal lengths to experimenting with multi-focal compositions of AI Stage Mode across 1x to 10x zoom, the device’s operation was intuitive and responsive, letting the photographer focus fully on crafting compositions and mastering lighting to bring his creative vision to life.Ready to experience the vivo V70’s exceptional imaging capabilities for yourself?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rising Filipina R&B singer/songwriter and producer <strong>Denise Julia </strong>makes smooth, sensual R&B that blends ‘90s and early-2000s influences with modern R&B and pop production. Her sound is equipped with airy vocals, layered harmonies and flirtatious lyrics – as seen is her brand her single, “<strong>Changes” </strong>out today on <strong>2nd Floor Entertainment </strong>in a new partnership with global independent record label <strong>EMPIRE</strong>. EMPIRE is a global music company operating across label, distribution, and publishing. Founded in 2010 by Bay Area native Ghazi, EMPIRE has played a key role in developing and supporting some of today’s most influential artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Fireboy DML, Shaboozey, Asake, XXXTentacion, and Anderson .Paak. Beyond the U.S., EMPIRE has also worked with global artists such as Afgan, G-DRAGON, and EL CAPITXN, continuing to expand its presence across Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America while connecting artists and audiences worldwide.</p>



<p>The partnership is officially announced today, but Denise shared an early track with the indie powerhouse last month titled <a href="https://music.empi.re/2good4u">“<strong>2GOOD4U”</strong></a><strong> </strong>that earned praise from <strong>Billboard, VIBE, Okayplayer, Sweety High, and many more. </strong>The single also landed on more than <strong>two dozen new music Friday </strong>playlist placements from Spotify, Audiomack, Apple Music, and more.</p>



<p>Denise Julia caught attention in 2022 with her song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU24X8HFgfE&list=RDuU24X8HFgfE&start_radio=1"><strong>“NVMD”</strong></a><strong> </strong>which helped solidify her as a rising star within the global music landscape. The single accumulated<strong> 200M streams</strong> on Spotify and reached the<strong> Top 20</strong> of <strong>Spotify’s Global Viral </strong>chart. She continued her rise in 2023 when she collaborated with her now labelmate–the RIAA certified rapper P-Lo–for their single<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Ntljr_m_0&list=RDN2Ntljr_m_0&start_radio=1"><strong>“B.A.D.”</strong></a> off her debut EP, <em>Sweet Nothings (Chapter 1)</em>. The single peaked at <strong>#7 </strong>on <strong>Spotify Philippines, </strong>entered the <strong>Top 50</strong> of <strong>Spotify’s Global Viral Chart</strong>, and reached <strong>#4 </strong>on the <strong>Billboard Philippines Hot 100. </strong>She has since followed up with <em>Sweet Nothings (Chapter 2)</em> and performed the title track on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWbM3IrgG_c&list=RDpWbM3IrgG_c&start_radio=1">On The Radar</a>. </p>



<p>Born and raised in the Philippines, <strong>Denise Julia</strong> is known for her smooth R&B sound and emotionally resonant songwriting because she was heavily influenced by early 2000s R&B and pop. She first captured widespread attention through viral covers and original releases on TikTok before breaking out globally. Denise Julia quickly became the <strong>most-streamed Filipina artist on Spotify</strong> for three consecutive months and remains one of the country’s top-streamed acts, with nearly<strong> 2 million monthly listeners.</strong> </p>

<media:keywords>Dom, Guyot, and, Zae, Flip, the, Script, Betrayal, with, New, Song, ‘Manloloko’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The genre-bending release merges Brazilian funk and Afrobeat pop with sharp lyrical bite</em></p>



<p><em>Manila, Philippines</em> – Filipino singer-songwriter <strong>Dom Guyot</strong> teams up with Filipina femcee <strong>Zae </strong>for “<a href="https://sng.to/dom-guyot/manloloko"><strong>manloloko</strong></a>,” a summer-ready bop that blends infectious rhythms with confrontational verses. The track doubles as a call for listeners to reclaim their voice and refuse manipulation in all forms.</p>



<p>Lyrically speaking, “manloloko” is about exposing deception and standing firm against people who exploit others for personal gain—be it your loved ones, friends, or the folks in power. Through unfiltered storytelling and fierce vocal performances, Dom and Zae flip the narrative on men who believe they can deceive without consequences.</p>



<p>“I wanted a track that feels like a big <em>FU</em> to people who have used me in the past,” admits the R&B-pop newcomer. “It’s like a sequel to <em>Kabit</em>, but this time I’m taking my power back and giving it a much more positive and empowering message and a very forward writing style instead of the satirical style <em>Kabit</em> had.”</p>



<p>While in the process of developing the track, Dom thought of recruiting acclaimed rapper Zae to hop on the beat, as her distinct voice is the right fit for the material. Being a fan of Zae’s work, he hit her up on socials in July of last year, and the rest, as they say, is history. </p>



<p>“While making the song, I knew it needed a female perspective, as the girls and the gays are statistically almost always victimized by men who can’t keep it in their pants,” Dom reveals. “And Zae just felt like the perfect fit. Her voice, her writing style, her demeanor. We connected instantly. The vibes were there from the jump, and that mutual respect and admiration really shaped what the track ended up becoming.”</p>



<p>With each artist contributing their own lyrical and sonic identity to create a cohesive whole, “manloloko” ends up being a fun jam that brims with so much chemistry and flavor. As Dom puts it, “We both handled our parts. Everything I sang, including the hook, came from me. Everything Zae spit was fully hers. But we bounced off each other so naturally that the song just clicked.”</p>



<p>Sonically, “manloloko” takes inspiration from Brazilian funk and Afrobeats while retaining a contemporary pop-rap sound that mirrors the song’s confidence. Produced with emphasis on rhythm and attitude, the track delivers moments of catharsis on the dance floor.</p>



<p>A standout moment in the release comes through its conversational bridge, where Dom and Zae reject conflict and unite in solidarity against manipulation and misogyny. The exciting part mentioned reinforces the bigger picture: empowerment grows stronger through collective understanding, honest, and self-respect. </p>



<p>“Society loves to crucify the gays and girls for the simplest things yet let straight men get away with everything,” Dom explains. “So that moment of solidarity felt important. It turned the song into something bigger than just a cheating story. It became standing up for each other and not taking any L’s from men.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="s6">The Philippines’ most loved health, wellness, and beauty retailer, Watsons, ushers in a new era of self-care and confidence by officially welcoming SB19 as its brand ambassadors for 2026.</p>



<p class="s11">The partnership brings together two names that Filipinos trust and look up to—Watsons, known for making health, wellness, and beauty accessible to all, and SB19, one of the country’s most influential P-pop groups, continuing to make waves on the global stage. At its core, the collaboration highlights the belief that confidence and excellence are built through everyday habits.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="614" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_1614-1024x614.jpeg" class="wp-image-245911" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_1614-1024x614.jpeg 1024w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_1614-300x180.jpeg 300w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_1614-768x461.jpeg 768w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/img_1614.jpeg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure>



<p class="s11">For Watsons, self-care has always gone beyond products on the shelf. It’s about helping people feel ready, confident, and at their best, whether for big moments or everyday routines. In many ways, this mirrors SB19’s journey. Behind every performance is discipline, preparation, and a commitment to continuous improvement, values that resonate strongly with how Watsons supports Filipinos in their own daily lives.</p>



<p class="s11">Both Watsons and SB19 understand that what happens behind the scenes matters just as much as what people see. From skincare and personal grooming to wellness routines that keep up with a fast-paced lifestyle, it’s the small, consistent habits that make a lasting difference.</p>



<p class="s11">“SB19 represents a generation that values authenticity, hard work, and self-expression. And at Watsons, we believe these qualities are supported by consistent self-care. “This collaboration reflects a shared belief that everyday routines empower people to perform, create, and express themselves with confidence,” said Jefferson L. Go, Chief Operating Officer of Watsons Philippines.</p>



<p class="s11">As brand ambassadors, SB19’s Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin bring their signature energy, artistry, and authenticity to campaigns that highlight Watsons’ wide range of health, wellness, and beauty offerings. More than just faces of the brand, they represent a mindset that resonates with a new generation—one that values growth, discipline, and staying true to oneself.</p>



<p class="s11">Fans, especially A’TIN and Watsons Club members, can expect more exciting moments ahead. One of the first highlights of the partnership will be SB19’s much-anticipated performance at the upcoming Watsons Playlist: Own the Moment happening on May 31 at SM MOA Arena, where they are set to top-bill the show. The event brings together music, wellness, beauty, and community, offering fans a chance to experience the collaboration in a more personal and high-energy setting.</p>



<p class="s11">More than a typical endorsement, the partnership between Watsons and SB19 reflects a shared story, one that celebrates Filipino pride, perseverance, and the power of showing up every day as your best self.</p>



<p class="s11">As the collaboration unfolds, fans are invited to stay connected with Watsons Philippines through its official social media channels—<a href="https://www.instagram.com/watsonsph/">@watsonsph</a> on Instagram, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WatsonsPH">Watsons Philippines</a> on Facebook, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@watsonsphilippines">@watsonsphilippines</a> on TikTok, for exclusive content, updates, and upcoming campaign highlights.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>All, Set, for TCL, CoolFest, Y3:, Cooltura, Summer, Fest, Co-presented, Abenson  </media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="s10">Music festivals prove that music transcends generations, bringing people together through shared rhythm and experience. It creates an undeniable energy that unites the crowd, turning every beat into a moment of collective celebration. This year, TCL — the Triple Global Top 1 TV Brand, the world’s leading force in Fresh Air AC sales, and a trusted name in home appliances — is once again bringing back TCL CoolFest Y3, co-presented by Abenson, the Philippines’ Number 1 Household Appliance Store. Set to be the biggest, loudest, and coolest CoolFest yet, the highly anticipated event happens on May 17, 2026, at the Market! Market! Activity Center.</p>



<p class="s10">Building on the success of its previous editions, TCL CoolFest Y3 promises an even more spectacular experience strengthened by Abenson’s dedication to delivering quality appliances and enhanced shopping experience that connect customers with the latest in home innovation and entertainment. Guests can look forward to electrifying performances from sought-after artists, an immersive showcase of TCL’s latest smart home innovations, and special appearances from the brand’s beloved ambassadors.</p>



<p class="s10">Inspired by vibrant tropical celebrations, this year’s CoolFest transforms the venue into a lively summer destination that blends Filipino cultural elements with refreshing textures, festive colors, and playful experiences — creating the perfect backdrop for music, entertainment, and innovation.</p>



<p class="s10">“Through TCL CoolFest, we transform innovation into an experience by bringing our latest technology closer to the people. Now in its third year, we’re taking everything to a much bigger stage at the Market! Market! Activity Center. With Abenson as our co-presenter, this is shaping up to be the ultimate summer event. We’re excited to make this year’s CoolFest even bigger and more memorable for everyone,” Mr. Peter Chen, TCL CEO shared.</p>



<p class="s10">For Abenson, the partnership represents another milestone in its long-standing relationship with TCL. United by a shared commitment to improving the lives of Filipino consumers, both brands continue to champion innovation and customer satisfaction.</p>



<p class="s11">“We have always valued our partnership with TCL, a brand that consistently delivers life-enhancing technological innovations. By combining TCL’s innovation with Abenson’s ‘Super Service,’ which includes Easy Financing, Fast Delivery, and Professional Installation, we continue to share one goal — providing Filipino customers with the best experience possible. Together, both brands go beyond product showcases to deliver a complete lifestyle experience. With Abenson as co-presenter, the experience is enhanced through curated product displays, on-ground assistance, and Super Service support that helps customers explore and upgrade their home solutions more seamlessly,” Apple Ma, Retail Marketing Head, Abenson.</p>



<p class="s12"><strong>A Cooltura Summer Treat</strong></p>



<p class="s10">Get ready to swoon! The Juans are officially joining TCL CoolFest Y3. More than just a pop group, these guys are legitimate musicians who craft their own signature sound—as heard in hits like ‘Umaga’ and the heartbreakingly famous ‘Hindi Tayo Pwede.’ </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Smart Luxury and Enhanced Security Allow Homeowners to Worry Less, Enjoy Life More</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="545" height="680" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-82.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245805" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-82.png 545w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-82-240x300.png 240w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px"></figure>



<p>Luxury has been traditionally viewed as expensive and aspirational in the Philippines. In recent decades, however, the rise of the middle class and dual-income households has financially empowered modern Filipino families, while redefining luxury. It’s no longer just about high price tags and opulence, but also about embracing smart living.</p>



<p>With the newfound income and upgraded status come busier, faster-paced lifestyles that demand smart solutions that offer more than basic functions. In this high-speed environment, the modern family prioritizes efficiency that expedites and simplifies their daily routines, allowing them to reclaim time for family development and personal well-being.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="542" height="679" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-83.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245806" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-83.png 542w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-83-239x300.png 239w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px"></figure>



<p><strong>Philips Smart Locks Bring Luxury to Security</strong></p>



<p>As Filipinos begin to upgrade their lifestyles, home security is a great place to start. Philips is leading this transformation by offering a vast selection of curated smart home locks. With its advanced security features, Philips has transformed traditional and stressful home security management into a seamless digital experience.</p>



<p>Philips Smart Locks’ keyless entry removes a common daily friction and allows every family member to enjoy simplified access to their homes. Homeowners no longer have to frantically dig through bags at the doorstep, worry about too many duplicated keys with household staff, or worry about misplacing or dropping keys anywhere.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="544" height="682" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-84.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245807" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-84.png 544w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-84-239x300.png 239w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px"></figure>



<p><strong>Spotlighting Innovation: The DDL720-MVP </strong></p>



<p>Leading the smart home living revolution in the Philips Smart Locks line is the DDL720-MVP. Designed for the tech-savvy Filipino family, it offers advanced features while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.</p>



<p>Its palm vein recognition capability is a touchless, precise, and high-security way to instantly unlock your home using the unique vein patterns in your hand. Its near-infrared light detects the hemoglobin flowing in your blood to eliminate issues such as shallow fingerprints and dry skin.</p>



<p>To help parents monitor arrivals and departures in their home, whether they are stuck at the office or in Manila traffic, the DDL720-MVP works with the Home Access App, which records doorbell notifications and unlocking history in real-time. Another convenient feature is the video door viewer, which also automatically captures photos and videos each time a guest presses the doorbell.  </p>



<p>In addition, the device automatically locks each time the door closes, providing an immediate sense of security for anyone entering or leaving the premises.</p>



<p><strong>Focus on What Matters</strong></p>



<p>Beyond physical security, the real value of the Philips DDL720-MVP smart Lock is reducing the stresses of daily life, such as worrying about misplaced keys, waiting until late at night for each member of the family to come home, or worrying about the home while the entire family is on vacation.</p>



<p>Integrating Philips Smart Locks in the home allows families and single professionals to live life more meaningfully and with intention, spend more quality time together, enjoy more adventures and experiences outside their home, and connect with other people in their community with peace of mind.</p>

<media:keywords>Rosé, and, the, PUMA, H-Street, Are, Back, The, Block</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rosé is taking over the block once again, settling into a new kind of everyday with PUMA’s archival, performance-inspired H-Street sneaker.</p>



<p>This latest drop arrives in a gorgeous, highly wearable Frosted Ivory-PUMA Silver colorway. It balances understated, everyday neutral tones with brilliant little flashes of metallic shine, giving your outfit just the right amount of pop without trying too hard. With its streamlined shape and retro T-toe design, it proves that a piece of track history can easily become your new modern staple.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="681" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-80-1024x681.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245801" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-80-1024x681.png 1024w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-80-300x199.png 300w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-80-768x511.png 768w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-80.png 1026w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure>



<p>Though it looks perfectly at home on the streets today, the H-Street is deeply rooted in early 2000s track history. Inspired by PUMA’s late-90s Harambee racing spike and officially launched as a lifestyle shoe in 2003, it delivers that retro Y2K aesthetic with a featherlight feel that won’t weigh you down. </p>



<p>Now, with Rosé leading its new era, the silhouette effortlessly blends this sporty racing heritage with the kind of everyday, comfortable street style you actually want to wear. Set against a dreamy backdrop of quiet streets and perfectly trimmed hedges, the iconic H-Street sneaker’s new colorway slips naturally into Rosé’s world. It’s all about taking familiar, everyday moments and giving them that signature, cool-girl Rosé aesthetic.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="543" height="682" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-77.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245798" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-77.png 543w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-77-239x300.png 239w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px"></figure>

<p>The H-Street is made to be the easiest grab-and-go shoe in your closet. Whether you are throwing on baggy denim for a quick iced coffee run down the street, browsing weekend pop-up markets, or just aiming for that relaxed “model-off-duty” look, they instantly tie an outfit together. The sleek, low-profile shape is incredibly easy to style, while the breezy mesh upper keeps your feet cool and comfortable from your morning errands all the way to late-night hangouts.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="545" height="682" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-79.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245800" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-79.png 545w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-79-240x300.png 240w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px"></figure>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Birthday wishes continue to pour for Sen. Bam Aquino. </p>



<p>Actor Dingdong Dantes greeted Senator Bam Aquino on his birthday, wishing him good health so he can continue doing more for his family and the country.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dong-Bam-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-245826" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dong-Bam-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dong-Bam-300x200.jpg 300w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dong-Bam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dong-Bam.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure>



<p>“Hi, Sen Bam! Happy, happy birthday to you. Ang wish namin sa iyo siyempre ay good health. Sana mas tumibay pa o manatiling matatag at malusog ang iyong kalusugan,” Dantes said in a video message.</p>



<p>“Dahil siyempre alam namin marami ka pa talagang gusto gawin para sa sarili mo, kundi pati sa iyong pamilya at higit sa lahat sa iyong mga kababayan,” he added.</p>



<p>“Iyan ang wish namin sa iyo. For now, enjoy the special day of yours, bro! Maligayang, maligayang kaarawan sa iyo. Cheers!” the Kapuso Primetime King further said.</p>



<p>Sen. Bam and Dingdong have been friends since their grade school days, when Sen. Bam was still known simply as “Bam-Bam.”</p>



<p>Over the years, the two have worked together on youth-centered advocacies and co-hosted several programs, including their most recent collaboration, the online show “DongBam AsenShow.”</p>



<p>Sen. Bam also appeared in Dingdong’s special birthday episode of “Family Feud,” where he and his teammates — actress Iza Calzado, former National Youth Commission (NYC) chairperson Gio Tingson, and stand-up comedian Alex Calleja — won the P200,000 jackpot prize.</p>



<p>Dingdong has also supported Sen. Bam in his 2013, 2019, and 2025 Senate campaigns.</p>



<p>The two also worked closely during Dingdong’s stint as Commissioner-at-Large of the National Youth Commission (NYC) from 2014 to 2016, when Sen. Bam was serving his first term as senator.</p>

<p>At a time when Filipino theater is thriving across the country, the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) proudly unveils one of the most anticipated theatrical events of 2026: <strong><em>“Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It’s Live Sa Cheter!”</em></strong> a fearless, hilarious, and razor-sharp evolution of a franchise that has defined satire across film, digital, and now live theater.</p>



<p>Headlined by Eugene Domingo, the franchise takes a bold leap from screen to stage in this highly anticipated fourth installment.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="546" height="680" src="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-75.png" alt="" class="wp-image-245763" srcset="https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-75.png 546w, https://starmometer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-75-241x300.png 241w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photos courtesy of PETA, shot by Paw Castillo.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>From A Cult Classic to Cultural Touchstone</strong></p>



<p>What began in 2011 as a groundbreaking independent film has evolved into a multi-platform cultural phenomenon. The original <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank</em> captured the indie film boom, satirizing the industry’s fixation on “poverty porn” and its pursuit of international acclaim. Its sequel skewered mainstream romantic comedies, while its third installment examined historical revisionism in the digital age.</p>



<p>Now, the franchise steps into live performance, turning its lens toward Philippine theater.</p>



<p>True to its DNA, the series remains a satire with purpose. “<em>Septic Tank</em> has always been about satirizing institutions,” shares playwright Chris Martinez. “This time, it is about the state of Philippine theater, where it is, and where it’s going.”</p>



<p>For director Maribel Legarda, this staging is not replication but transformation. “Film and theater speak different languages. What excites me is how something familiar can evolve and find new meaning in <em>liveness</em>.” She adds, “In theater, ‘live’ is not just a descriptor. It is a condition. It breathes, it trembles, it risks failure, and in doing so, it allows for discovery.”</p>



<p><strong>A Mirror to a “Golden Age”</strong></p>



<p>The arrival of <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4</em> comes at a pivotal moment. Widely described as a “golden age” for Philippine theater, recent years have seen a surge in productions and audiences, bringing with it new challenges for the industry.</p>



<p>“It’s exciting, but it’s also a good time to analyze,” says Chris Martinez. “Is it really a golden age? There is good, there is bad, and maybe this play can offer a clearer perspective on the power of theater.”</p>



<p>Legarda underscores the urgency of live performance in today’s content-saturated landscape. “When we laugh, we let our guard down and sometimes recognize uncomfortable truths. That is where comedy becomes a mirror.”</p>



<p>In this sense, <em>Septic Tank 4</em> is both a celebration and a commentary, a funny, self-aware take on an art form that is vibrant, ever-shifting, and not without its own “sh*t.”</p>



<p><strong>A Powerhouse Collaboration</strong></p>



<p>Sharing the stage with Eugene Domingo is an exceptional lineup of theater-makers, including Melvin Lee, Andoy Ranay, Meann Espinosa, JC Santos, Stella Cañete-Mendoza, Joshua Lim So, and Marlon Rivera, alongside a vibrant PETA ensemble: Ron Alfonso, Kiki Baento, Roi Calilong, Jay Cortez, Nyla Festejo, James Lanante, Carlon Matobato, Eli Namoc, Reggie Ondevilla, Air Paz, and Ada Tayao.</p>



<p>Guided by the vision of Maribel Legarda and written by Chris Martinez, the production is brought to life by a dynamic creative team including: Assistant Director Johnnie Moran; Set and Costume Designer Gino Gonzales; Deputy Costume Designer Martha Cruz; Assistant Set Designer Leslie Centeno; Lighting Designer Barbie Tan-Tiongco; Sound and Music by Angel Dayao; Lyricist Michelle Ngu Nario; Choreographer Raflesia Bravo; and Video Design and Mapping by Bene Manaois.</p>



<p><strong>Theater About Theater—Bold, Daring, Unmissable</strong></p>



<p>Structured as a “play within a play,” <em>Septic Tank 4</em> explores the process of theater-making, with actors portraying heightened versions of themselves and blurring the line between reality and performance. It is irreverent and unapologetically meta, filled with humor, spectacle, and playful commentary.</p>



<p>In a time of endless content and streaming options, <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4</em> serves as a reminder of what live theater uniquely offers: the thrill of immediacy, shared laughter, and the magic of experiencing a story unfold in real time. It reminds us that live theater is personal, powerful, and can only be experienced in person.</p>



<p>As Legarda puts it, “This production is an invitation: to laugh, to reflect, and to engage.” With its fearless humor and powerhouse ensemble, the show invites audiences to think, respond, and rediscover the power of live theater.</p>



<p><em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It’s Live Sa Cheter!</em> will run for 50 shows from <strong>June 19 to August 16, 2026</strong>, at the <strong>PETA Theater Center</strong>. Matinee shows are at 2:00 pm, evening shows at 7:30 pm.</p>



<p>Ticket prices are P3,500 (VIP), P2,800 (Orchestra and Balcony Center), P2,500 (Orchestra Side), and P1,800 (Balcony Side). </p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p><em>“2026’s hottest pop star.” – <strong>PAPER Magazine</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“Larsson delivers her most radiant body of work.” – <strong>Rolling Stone</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“This is the moment when Larsson is finally coming intom view as pop’s main girl.” – <strong>VOGUE</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“A new household name in the main pop girl zeitgeist” – <strong>Billboard</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“The album of the summer.” – <strong>GQ</strong> (Best of 2025)</em></p>



<p>GRAMMY®-nominated pop superstar <strong>Zara Larsson</strong> keeps the global party going with <a href="https://zaralarsson.lnk.to/MSGirlsTrip"><strong><em>Midnight Sun: Girls Trip</em></strong></a>, a collection of remixes and collaborations that gives new life to her already famously vibrant songs. Revisiting each track from her breakthrough album <strong><em>Midnight Sun</em></strong>, <strong>Zara</strong> invites a worldwide all-woman cast of friends and faves to an inclusive celebration that crosses borders, genres, and vibes for an unforgettable excursion into free-wheeling self-expression.</p>



<p>The artists joining <strong>Zara</strong> on the set span diverse sounds and countries of origin, and range from absolute icons to rising stars to indie tastemakers: <strong>Shakira</strong>, <strong>Robyn</strong>, <strong>Tyla</strong>, <strong>PinkPantheress</strong>, <strong>Kehlani</strong>, <strong>JT</strong>, <strong>Madison Beer</strong>, <strong>Emilia</strong>, <strong>Helena Gao</strong>, <strong>Margo XS</strong>, <strong>BAMBII</strong>, <strong>Malibu</strong>, and <strong>Eli</strong>. Watch visualizers for every song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ZaraLarssonOfficial/videos"><strong>HERE</strong></a> now, and stream or purchase <strong><em>Midnight Sun: Girls Trip</em></strong> right <a href="https://zaralarsson.lnk.to/MSGirlsTrip"><strong>HERE</strong></a> via <strong>Epic Records</strong> / <strong>Sommer House</strong>.</p>



<p>The album opens on a new version of <strong>“Midnight Sun”</strong> that continues the creative kinship of <strong>Zara</strong> and <strong>PinkPantheress</strong> over a beat that blends the former’s radiant dance-pop with the latter’s propulsive UK garage-inflected sound. A song later, <strong>Kehlani</strong> joins for a lush R&B take on the romantic <strong>“Blue Moon,”</strong> before <strong>JT</strong> drops a blistering verse on the rowdy, <strong>Margo XS</strong>-remixed <strong>“Pretty Ugly.”</strong> Later, <strong>Shakira</strong> helps transform <strong>“Eurosummer”</strong> into a jet-setting club cut, <strong>Tyla</strong> doubles the diva heat on <strong>“Hot & Sexy,”</strong> and <strong>Robyn</strong> brings her legendary presence to <strong>“Puss Puss.”</strong> <strong>Zara</strong> sprinkles shiny new vocals throughout.</p>



<p>In truth, as the songs shape-shift through styles, tempos, textures, and even languages, there’s never a dull moment on <strong><em>Midnight Sun: Girls Trip</em></strong>. As she wrangled an international array of top-tier talent, <strong>Zara</strong> worked closely with <strong>Margo XS</strong> and <strong>MNEK</strong> to craft the project — two members of the tight, trusted team with whom she created 2025’s original <strong><em>Midnight Sun</em></strong> (also including <strong>Gao</strong> and <strong>Zhone</strong>), an album that was not only her most authentic and expressive yet, but which has since racked up nearly universal praise.</p>



<p><strong>Zara</strong>’s runaway success in the wake of <strong><em>Midnight Sun</em></strong> made <strong><em>Girls Trip</em></strong> possible. In February, she scored a career-first <strong>GRAMMY®</strong> nomination for <strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvY8fdgezLQ"><strong>Midnight Sun</strong></a><strong>”</strong> (<strong>Best Dance Pop Recording</strong>), while also in the midst of what <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/features/zara-larsson-midnight-sun-hot-100-comeback-2016-stateside-1236172020/"><strong><em>Billboard</em></strong></a> called <em>“a major Hot 100 comeback.”</em> Now the #24 artist in the world on Spotify, she currently has four singles on the Billboard Hot 100: the viral <strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD4HCZe-tew"><strong>Lush Life</strong></a><strong>”</strong> (peaking at #35, video <strong>approaching 1 billion views</strong>), <strong>“Midnight Sun”</strong> (#39), and her earlier <strong>PinkPantheress</strong> team-up <strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIxQe1R5hs0"><strong>Stateside</strong></a><strong>”</strong> (#6), which hit <strong>#1 on the Billboard Global 200</strong> and <strong>Spotify’s Global Top 50</strong> after U.S. figure-skating champ <strong>Alysa Liu</strong> did a routine to the song during the <strong>Winter Olympics</strong>. This week, <strong>Tyla</strong>’s aptly titled <strong>“She Did It Again”</strong> featuring <strong>Zara</strong> entered at #59.</p>



<p>This past Wednesday, <strong>Zara</strong> was honored with the <strong>Breakthrough Award</strong> at <strong>Billboard’s Women in Music</strong> ceremony. In an interview that came out this month celebrating the news, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/zara-larsson-women-in-music-2026-breakthrough-1236223477/"><strong><em>Billboard</em></strong></a> called <strong><em>Midnight Sun</em></strong> the <em>“album that’s made her a new household name in the main pop girl zeitgeist.”</em> Their words joined similar raves from outlets including <strong><em>PAPER</em></strong>,<strong><em> Rolling Stone</em></strong>, <strong><em>VOGUE</em></strong>, <strong><em>GQ</em></strong>, <strong><em>Pitchfork</em></strong>, <strong><em>NYLON</em></strong>, and more. She just scored five <strong>American Music Awards </strong>nominations, too: Breakthrough Pop Artist, Breakthrough Album of the Year, Song of the Summer, Collaboration of the Year, and Social Song of the Year.</p>



<p><strong>Zara</strong> also won praise for her recently wrapped, fully sold-out first North American headlining tour. Inspired by her U.S. breakthrough, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/20/zara-larsson-music-review"><strong><em>The New Yorker</em></strong></a> published a profile this month titled “Zara Larsson Gets Her Flowers,” noting <em>“on the Midnight Sun tour, the Swedish artist makes a comeback that feels like a debut.”</em> In a victory lap of sorts, <strong>Zara</strong> discusses her whirlwind year in a new in-depth episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l68WG0OAcvw"><strong><em>Call Her Daddy</em></strong></a>.</p>



<p>Showing no signs of slowing down, <strong>Zara</strong> will embark next month on a jam-packed summer festival run that includes <strong>Lollapalooza Chicago</strong>, <strong>BBC’s Radio 1 Big Weekend</strong>, and a staggering series of European dates. In September, the <strong>Midnight Sun Tour</strong> officially continues — first with a just-announced concert at Los Angeles’ beloved Greek Theatre, and then with an Australia/New Zealand arena leg. Presale for the latter sold out in less than 2 hours, and more than 6 months in advance. Find her full itinerary below.</p>



<p>If <strong><em>Midnight Sun</em></strong> was inspired by the feeling of an endless summer night in <strong>Zara</strong>’s native Stockholm, then <strong><em>Midnight Sun: Girls Trip</em></strong> is what happens when that night rolls into an infinite season of pure pop energy where everyone is invited. As <strong>Zara</strong> herself recently noted, “This is just the beginning of Girls Trip!!!”</p>

<p><strong><u>About Zara Larsson</u></strong></p>



<p><em>“Summer isn’t over yet”</em> is more than a lyric from Zara Larsson’s perennial hit “Midnight Sun” — it’s a statement of purpose. A decade after dropping her first international single, 2015’s “Lush Life,” the GRAMMY-nominated Swedish sensation is taking her rightful place in the zeitgeist as a Main Pop Girl. In 2026, while her sold-out tour raged onward, she lodged three songs in the Hot 100: the recently viral “Lush Life” (#35, video nearing 1B views), “Midnight Sun” (#39), and PinkPantheress collab “Stateside” (#6, and #1 on the Global 200). All of that followed hot on the heels of <em>Midnight Sun</em>, Zara’s fourth, truest, and most vibrant album to date, made with a tight trusted team (MNEK, Margo XS, Helena Gao, Zhone) and unafraid to show all sides of the star: lovestruck, wistful, ambitious, flippant, fun, uncertain — often in the same breath. If that radiant LP was inspired by the feeling of an endless summer night in Stockholm, then the globe-trotting remix album, <em>Midnight Sun: Girls Trip</em>, is what happens when that night rolls into an infinite season of pure pop energy where everyone is invited. For the reinvented set, Zara opens up her acclaimed album and shouts, <em>“GET IN, GIRL!”</em> to a worldwide all-woman lineup including icons like Shakira, Robyn, Tyla, Kehlani, PinkPantheress, JT, and more. The collection crosses borders, genres, and vibes for a series of unforgettable musical moments of authentic self-expression, diverse artistry, and total hands-up, top-down, open-air freedom.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manila’s Biggest EDM Festival is Back in 2026 With An All-Star Lineup Featuring Galantis, Porter Robinson, Alan Shirahama, Adventure Club and Multiple Filipino Talents Taking Center Stage</p>



<p><strong> </strong>&FRIENDS Festival, co-presented by Collective Minds, returns to Okada Manila this June 19 and 20 even bigger and better than before.</p>



<p>Leading this year’s iteration of the premier electronic dance music (EDM) festival in the Philippines are four of electronic music’s most commanding forces, including Galantis and Porter Robinson.</p>



<p><strong>Filipino Excellence on the Global Stage</strong></p>



<p>This year, the Filipino diaspora takes its place in the limelight; with headliners, subheadliners, and supporting acts all showcasing the indelible mark Filipino talent continues to make on the global electronic music community. </p>



<p>Filipino-Japanese <strong>Alan Shirahama</strong> will serve as one of the headliners at &FRIENDS Festival 2026. The multifaceted entertainer and DJ has built one of the most unique cross-cultural careers in Asian music: both as the leader of GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE, one of Japan’s biggest J-Pop groups, and as a solo DJ on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list. Shirahama was appointed as a Philippines Tourism Ambassador in 2023, making his performance at &FRIENDS Festival one of the most culturally resonant bookings in the festival’s history.</p>



<p><strong>Ian Asher </strong>is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose polished blend of future bass and pop-leaning dance music has racked up hundreds of millions of streams and a collaboration with the “Kings of P-Pop” SB19. A familiar face on the international festival circuit, his return to Manila is a homecoming charged with meaning. <strong>Seduza</strong> is a US-based Filipino-Chinese DJ whose signature cat ears and fearlessly eclectic sets weave through trap, future bass, Jersey club, and house. Having graced stages from Coachella and Head in the Clouds to tours alongside Alesso, Steve Aoki, and Flosstradamus, she has built a distinct world around her brand that resonates as strongly on the dancefloor as it does in digital culture– channeling that influence into curating showcases that champion underground EDM’s next generation. <strong>Tye Turner</strong> rounds out the group as a Filipino-Australian DJ whose explosive stage presence and impeccable crowd-reading have made him a rising name on lineups across North America and Asia. Together, they represent a generation of Filipino artists no longer on the periphery of global dance music – they are at its center.</p>



<p>Other Filipinos added to the main stage are <strong>Marc</strong> <strong>Marasigan</strong> and <strong>L.A</strong>, together with international acts <strong>Ace</strong> <strong>Ramos</strong>, <strong>Afinity</strong>, <strong>Ami</strong> <strong>Mura</strong>, <strong>Arthur</strong> <strong>Tan</strong>, <strong>FAZAD</strong>, <strong>J</strong>, <strong>NGHTSHIFT</strong> <strong>b2b</strong> <strong>Jaidee</strong> <strong>b2b</strong> <strong>Dreamdriver</strong> — bringing the two-night Main Stage program to its final, stacked form.</p>



<p>With no shortage of Filipino talent standing at the helm, the 2026 &FRIENDS Festival is shaping up to be as much a celebration of the Philippines and its people as it is a jam-packed weekend of non-stop raving and electronic music appreciation.</p>



<p>Alongside the festival’s celebration of Filipino talent is a massive international roster flying into Manila from across the globe. New additions to the international line-up include headliner <strong>Adventure Club</strong>, the Grammy-nominated Canadian duo of Christian Srigley and Leighton James, whose remix of “Crave You” helped shape the sound of melodic dubstep and launched a career spanning mainstages at EDC, Ultra, and Bonnaroo– their &FRIENDS set marks their Philippines debut. Also making his first PH show is <strong>Aiobahn</strong>, a South Korean producer based between Seoul and Tokyo whose fusion of anime-inspired melodies, future bass, and hard-hitting production has earned him a devoted cult following via Monstercat and standout tracks like “INTERNET YAMERO.”</p>



<p>Not to be forgotten are the other previously announced headliners of the festival, who are some of the most famous, enduring names in electronic music today.</p>



<p><strong><em>Night 1 – Porter Robinson and Subtronics:</em></strong></p>



<p><strong><em>Porter Robinson</em></strong><em>, a fan favorite in the Philippines, returns to Manila fresh off his biggest-ever international tour for SMILE ! :D. The Grammy-nominated artist’s influence on EDM stretches back to his 2014 debut Worlds, which topped Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums. Joining him is </em><strong><em>Subtronics</em></strong><em>, the bass music titan behind the FIBONACCI album and Cyclops Recordings, who made his Coachella debut in April 2026 and in 2023 was named the highest-selling North American electronic touring act by Pollstar and DJ Mag North America’s DJ of the Year.</em></p>



<p><strong><em>Night 2 – Galantis and Yellow Claw:</em></strong></p>



<p><em>Closing out the weekend are two acts that have shaped electronic music over the last two decades. </em><strong><em>Galantis</em></strong><em>, led by Swedish hitmaker Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson, boasts 7.3 billion streams, anthems like “Runaway (U & I)” and “No Money,” and a Grammy-winning co-write on Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” </em><strong><em>Yellow Claw</em></strong><em>, the Dutch duo of Jim Taihuttu and Nils Rondhuis, match that pedigree with over a billion plays and a genre-defying catalog spanning trap, dubstep, hardstyle, and moombahton — arriving fresh off their fifth album, Jesus Loves Trap Music, released on their own Barong Family label in February 2026.</em></p>



<p>Across three stages, two nights, and more than 60 artists, &FRIENDS festival continues to deliver on its founding promise: world-class production, a carefully curated mix of global headliners and regional talent, and the kind of unforgettable, communal energy that has made it the defining electronic music event in the Philippines.</p>



<p>Besides the Main Stage, the <strong>Club Stage</strong> is where the festival bleeds into something rawer, deeper, and more unpredictable. Running deep into the early morning hours, it is the beating underground heart of &FRIENDS. <strong>Bandit, BENCH, Buns b2b Senza, Honey Gee, Ian Sndrz, James Landino b2b Kino, Jecht, KDH, Kluster Flux, MARGACHI, NOTDEADYET,</strong> <strong>Sseda</strong>, <strong>Sunday Sundae, Xenith,</strong> bring a combined depth of sound and scene credibility that will keep the dancefloor locked in from first set to last light.</p>



<p>New for 2026, the <strong>Friendship Stage</strong> introduces a series of label and collective takeovers representing the best of Asia’s EDM community. <strong>Orange Juice Asia x Planet Workshop </strong>is set to open Day One with a joint takeover, followed by sets from <strong>CLOUDNYT</strong>, <strong>RAW</strong> and <strong>Restored Bass</strong>. Day Two sees takeovers from <strong>Hidden Nights,</strong> <strong>Contrast</strong>, and <strong>Sweet & Sour,</strong> and <strong>Midnight Rebels</strong> — each crew bringing its own curated roster of back-to-back and face-to-face DJ sets that embody the collaborative spirit at the core of the &FRIENDS brand. It is a stage built on community, and a reminder that the best music often comes from the people closest to the dancefloor.</p>



<p>Tickets for &FRIENDS Festival may be purchased on <strong>Ticketmelon</strong> and <strong>AirAsia’s MoveTix</strong>. <strong>Single Day </strong>passes are available at <strong>Php 5,800 for General Admission</strong> and at <strong>Php 9,800 for VIP</strong>.
