    ABOUT F1® THE MOVIE:

    Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career.  Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse.  Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.  He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace.  But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

    F1® THE MOVIE also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport.

  • From iTunes PH to PBB to TikTok, David Licauco’s “I Think I Love You” Makes an Impression!

    From iTunes PH to PBB to TikTok, David Licauco’s “I Think I Love You” Makes an Impression!

    There is no stopping David Licauco. Apart from being a popular actor, in-demand endorser, and successful entrepreneur, he is now also a recording artist signed under Universal Records, who just released the song “I Think I Love You.”


    Written by Luke April Isnani and Ivo Impreso, “I Think I Love You” is a catchy and upbeat song about realizing that you’re developing strong emotions for someone — something that a lot of people can relate to.


    Last May 15, a few minutes before the drop of his single, David went live on his TikTok account for a single salubong while he was in Lujo Bar in Poblacion. At the strike of midnight, he celebrated with his fans online and was surprised when the DJ at Lujo suddenly played “I Think I Love You.”
    Before the song was even released, it was actually featured in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition. David entered Bahay ni Kuya as a Houseguest and after sharing with Kuya what his song is about, David was told that the Housemates would be divided into two groups — Team Kapamilya and Team Kapuso — and tasked to come up with a dance choreography for “I Think I Love You.”
    Talented Will Ashley led Team Kapuso, crafting choreography and formations for his group. Esnyr, on the other hand, led Team Kapamilya; he recognized that their group didn’t have high-level dancers, so they focused on delivering a fun and creative number inspired by high school performances and Christmas party presentations.


    In the end, David chose Team Kapamilya as the winner, praising their synchronized and well-thought-out routine. David rewarded them with lollipops, something that the Housemates appreciated and enjoyed.
    “I Think I Love You” is currently getting a lot of love online. On the day of its release, it was number five on the Top Songs list of iTunes Philippines, making it the only OPM song to make it to the top 5.


    On TikTok, several supporters are using the audio for fan-made edits of David and his onscreen partner Barbie Forteza. A lot of people have also been dancing to it and making their own choreography for it, including TikToker Miko Yanson, who is famous for coming up with dance choreos for a lot of trending songs online.


    David releasing “I Think I Love You” was something a lot of people didn’t expect, but it is definitely a pleasant surprise especially for his fans. During his PBB guesting, David shared: “I really just wanted to try everything — sa showbiz, sa buhay. One of those is releasing a song; yun na nga po yung ‘I Think I Love You’ — para po sa mga taong may gusto pero di pa niya masabi.” With the good reception to “I Think I Love You,” we won’t be surprised if and when David releases another song.

    Actress and social media personality Sachzna Laparan is celebrating her 27th birthday this May by throwing a full-scale music festival. Titled Revelry Music Fest, the event takes place on May 24 at The Tent at Villar City in Las Piñas.

    Throwing a grand birthday bash has long been a tradition for Sachzna, often celebrated with family, friends, and fans. But this year, she’s going all out, calling Revelry “the biggest free birthday concert of the year,” as the annual #SachznaBDayBash transforms into a full-fledged music festival.
    Although the event is free, entry is limited to the first 3,000 guests who registered via the official QR code. As of this writing, all slots have been filled. Festival-goers are encouraged to come dressed in their best Coachella-inspired outfits, ready for a night of music, celebration, and spectacle.

    Ipagdiriwang ng aktres at social media personality na si Sachzna Laparan ang kanyang ika-27 kaarawan ngayong Mayo sa isang engrandeng music festival. Tinawag na ‘Revelry Music Fest,’ gaganapin ang event sa Mayo 24 sa The Tent at Villar City, Las Piñas.

Isang tradisyon na para kay Sachzna ang magkaroon ng bonggang birthday celebration kasama ang kanyang pamilya, kaibigan, at mga tagasuporta. Ngunit ngayong taon, mas pinalaki pa niya ito—tinawag niyang “biggest free birthday concert of the year” ang Revelry, na opisyal ding bahagi ng taunang #SachznaBDayBash.
    Bagama’t libre ang event, limitado lamang ito sa unang 3,000 katao na nagparehistro sa opisyal na QR code. Sa ngayon, ubos na ang lahat ng slots. Hinihikayat ang mga dadalo na magdala ng festival energy at isuot ang kanilang pinakamalupit na Coachella-inspired outfits para sa isang gabi ng musika, saya, at selebrasyon.
