    Puregold recently transformed a fun Filipino activity into a large-scale community engagement platform with the launch of the Puregold Hakot Relay Run at Burnham Green Park in Luneta.

    Held on November 22, the event prompted a strong turnout with participants numbering in the thousands, demonstrating the retailer’s continued focus on community-building initiatives that are aligned with its long-term brand and customer growth strategy.

    Puregold recently combined sports, energy, music, and fun, and turned it into a large-scale community engagement platform with the launch of the Puregold Hakot Relay Run at Burnham Green Park in Luneta.

    Blending fitness, entertainment, and Puregold’s iconic “hakot” experience, the three-kilometer relay introduced an innovative twist to the traditional fun run format. Teams of three joined the race not for speed but for strategy, competing in a hakot segment wherein runners grabbed grocery items and filled their sling bags before tagging the next team member. The ensuing scenario was a vibrant and adrenaline-filled activity that brought families, barkadas, and communities together in a uniquely Puregold way.

    At the Puregold Hakot Relay Run, Puregold staged a Sunset Concert featuring P-Pop performers KAIA (Charice, Angela, Alexa, Sophia, and Charlotte).
    Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) big winner duo BREKA (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca) grace the stage at the Sunset Concert of Puregold’s Hakot Relay Run.

    Puregold also staged a Sunset Concert at the venue, where OPM and P-Pop performers such as KAIA, G22, Press Hit Play, and the duo BREKA (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca) filled the park with live music and turned the relay into an afternoon celebration for families and fans alike.

    All participating runners were winners as they took home a Puregold Hakot Relay Finisher’s Medal, an official race singlet, and a grocery sling bag, made exclusively for this inaugural event.

    The Puregold Hakot Relay Run is reflective of the company’s broader goal to uplift Filipino communities and celebrate everyday wins.

    Puregold President Vincent Co, who led the first wave of runners, said, “Wins come in many forms. This is a new one for us, as Puregold tries to create moments where families, friends, and communities can connect. This Hakot Relay Run gave us a chance to do exactly that.”

    The tremendous success of Puregold’s first-of-its-kind relay affirms the potential of more creative, community-driven initiatives to strengthen brand affinity while deepening customer loyalty.

  • Kuh Ledesma’s Homecoming Gift: Star-Packed Benefit Show for Philippines’ Youngest Generation

    Kuh Ledesma’s Homecoming Gift: Star-Packed Benefit Show for Philippines’ Youngest Generation

    Kuh Ledesma comes back to Manila with renewed fire and undeniable brilliance after a successful international concert tour that wowed crowds in the US, Sydney, and Perth. She sang her classic hits, popular OPM songs, and new favorites with a new twist in these shows. The concert turned into a lively celebration of music and movement, with the dynamic Para Isidro and her Paradance company. The audience was amazed by Kuh’s amazing voice and the concert’s world-class production.

    Carrying this same spirit of excellence and generosity, the Philippines’ one and only Pop Diva now presents her newest offering:

    KUH LEDESMA PERFORMS THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL: A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL BENEFIT SHOW

    The very popular song goes, “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside…” Meaningful words from the iconic song “The Greatest Love of All”, originally recorded by George Benson for the Muhammad Ali biopic “The Greatest” and made hugely popular by the late great Whitney Houston. Without a doubt, our children are the future of our country, and to care for them, teach them, and guide them in the way they should go—so that when they grow old they will not depart from it—is Gospel Truth indeed.

    It is this guiding principle that has encouraged Ms. Kuh Ledesma to embark on a Christmas Special benefit concert together with other like-minded individuals for the “Children’s First 1000 Days Holistic Program”, a project aimed at providing a solid foundation for the development of children’s minds and bodies.

    The Christmas Special, which is fittingly called THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL, will be held on November 23, 2025, at 6 PM at The Tent City of The Manila Hotel in One Rizal Park, Ermita, Manila. Joey Lina, Mike Toledo, and Rene Solidum will join Kuh for this great event. Isabella, Bobby Alvarez, Egay Rubiano, Egay Banaag, Jeffrey Parado, Esquivel, Rachelle Rule, and The Adeodatus Children’s Choir of Baseco will also be there.

    Timothy John Cruz is in charge of the music, and George Sison, Tagle, and Paul Dizon are in charge of the whole thing. THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL promises to be a heartfelt celebration—Christmas comes early for the kids who need it most.

    Why Kuh Said Yes to This Cause

    In an exclusive interview, Kuh Ledesma opened up about what drew her to headline this particular benefit.

    Your upcoming concert “The Greatest Love of All: A Christmas Special” is a benefit for the Children’s First 1000 Days Holistic Program. Why did you say yes to headline and be part of this cause?

    Kuh revealed that she has long believed in the vision of former Senator Joey Lina. “Matagal na nilang ginagawa ‘to,” she shared, noting that this is her first time to be personally involved in his advocacy. For the Pop Diva, supporting the critical first 1,000 days of a child’s life—when proper nutrition and care can shape their future—is a natural extension of her faith and values.

    Sharing the Stage with Daughter Isabella

    One of the most heartwarming moments of the evening will be when Kuh performs alongside her daughter Isabella.

    “It’s always my joy to perform with my daughter on stage,” Kuh said warmly, “and I want her to be exposed to a benefit show like this.” For Kuh, passing on the spirit of giving to the next generation is just as important as the music itself.

    A Different Kind of Holiday Concert

    Unlike her traditional holiday gatherings at Hacienda Isabella—usually held between Christmas and New Year’s when traffic has eased and everyone is in a relaxed, joyful mood—this benefit comes earlier and carries a deeper mission.

    “We normally do the event in Hacienda Isabella. Kami naman, we just want to get together with our fans, friends, and family. Gusto namin masaya lang ang Pasko right after Christmas,” Kuh explained. This time, however, the focus is on bringing hope to vulnerable children long before the holiday rush begins.

    Surprises in Store

    Fans wondering about the song lineup got a teasing hint from the Diva herself: expect a special duet with Joey Lina on a big classic song, plus a selection of deeply meaningful Christmas songs that tie perfectly into the night’s theme of love, hope, and generosity.

    A Message of Hope for the Holidays

    As a benefit concert, The Greatest Love of All is about more than beautiful music. Kuh hopes every attendee leaves with a renewed sense of responsibility and faith.

    “Really painful to see, especially also painful to hear that our government has become very corrupt,” she said candidly. “Even if there is corruption—and I’m not saying it’s okay—kahit na ganon ang gobyerno natin, especially sa mga nakakalamang ay tutulong sa mga kapwa Pilipino, lalo na sa mga na-bagyo. Kung ang mga mayayaman will share what they have, hindi maghihirap ang maraming mga Pilipino.”

    But she quickly added a spiritual dimension: “At the same time, merong hinihingi ang Diyos sa atin—ang magkaroon ng pagsisisi as a country. Dapat magbalik-loob tayo sa Panginoon.”

    Quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14, Kuh reminded everyone: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

    For Kuh Ledesma, this Christmas special is more than a concert—it’s a call to action wrapped in song, a celebration of the greatest love of all: the love that builds a better future for our children and heals a nation through generosity, humility, and faith.

    See you on November 23, 2025 at The Tent City, Manila Hotel—one night that promises music, meaning, and miracles for the little ones who need it most.

    If it’s true that practice makes perfect, then Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock – beloved by their millions of fans across the planet as Air Supply – have had nearly half a century to hone their skills, harness their passion and unleash the beautifully intimate yet rockin’ romantic energy of those instantly identifiable 80s hits that made them global superstars.

    As they close in on 50 years (exact date, May 12, 1975) since they met in the chorus of the Australian touring company of Jesus Christ Superstar, the duo is ever-present on the road in North America and overseas to the tune of 130 dates a year – and look forward to a milestone 5500th live show in fall 2024. This run includes being the first Western group to tour China and several other countries who prior to their breakthrough would not allow pop music across their borders, as well as performing for a record 175,000 people in Cuba in 2005.

    Air Supply’s overall sales and airplay stats are equally astounding, equaling their heroes The Beatles’ run of five consecutive Top Five Singles (“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am”); selling a collective total of 20 million copies of their first three albums (Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever) and the 1983 Greatest Hits collection; achieving multi-million radio plays for five of their hits (including “Sweet Dreams” and the Jim Steinman-penned “Making Love Out of Nothing At All”); and having Graham honored with a BMI Million-Air Certificate recognizing three million performances of “All Out Of Love.”

    Under musical direction of lead guitarist Aaron McLain, the ensemble includes Mirko Tessandori (piano/keyboards/vocals), Pavel Valdman (drums) and Doug Gild (bass). Graham and Russell will mark their milestone with exciting projects in a variety of media. These include a biopic titled All Out of Love: The Air Supply Story, a Broadway comedy-drama musical featuring their songs (Lost in Love) and an as yet to be titled autobiography by Graham and Russell. The duo will also be releasing their 18th studio album A Matter of Time, produced by Brian Howes, along with a very special vinyl compilation.

    The “Ego” singer-songwriter will be joining TRIN’s stellar lineup of Filipino artists, including Shirebound, Shanne Dandan, and neytan.

    South Korea-born bedroom pop artist Peach Luffe is set to bring his brand of dreamy introspection to The Rest Is Noise 44, happening on November 30, 2025, at Sari-Sari Bar in Makati City.

    The Toronto-based act has been gaining traction in Southeast Asia, propelled by the viral success of his song “Ego.” The emotional track recently found a second life on TikTok and other digital platforms, where fans of the hit K-drama Weak Hero Class have been using it to soundtrack fan-made edits and reels. The song peaked at No. 8 on the Spotify Viral 50 charts in Philippines.

    Peach Luffe

    Peach Luffe is the music brainchild of Korean artist Jong Lee. Known for creating daydream-worthy pop, Jong leans on his classical foundation to build lush soundscapes that transport his listeners to an entirely peaceful and calming realm.

    He will be joining a stellar lineup of indie pop/folk artists at the 44th edition of TRIN, including prolific alt-pop band Shirebound, acclaimed singer-songwriter Shanne Dandan, and lo-fi newcomer neytan.

    Tickets for The Rest Is Noise 44 are available via bit.ly/trintickets.

    About Peach Luffe

    Peach Luffe is the dreamy indie-pop project of classically trained musician Jong Lee. Born in Seoul, raised in New York, and now based in Toronto, Lee blends lush soundscapes with whimsical nostalgia.

    A violinist by training, his classical foundation sets him apart, shaping intricate, layered compositions that nurture the inner child in every listener. “Violin is like my cheat code,” he says.

    What began as a solo bedroom project during the pandemic has since grown into a full band with collaborators, releasing one album and six EPs. His music has earned support from CBC, Atwood Magazine, and Exclaim!, with placements across Spotify playlists worldwide. Twice, Spotify spotlighted him on Toronto’s digital billboards—first for Asian Heritage Month 2023, and again for the “Honey” EP release in 2024.

    Peach Luffe’s songs have reached audiences worldwide, landing in Korean TV commercials, Netflix shows, and films. His viral single “Ego” sparked over 400,000 TikTok creations and more than 500M views across the Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore, peaking at Number 8 in the Viral 50 in Philippines.

    American Shoegaze Phenomenon WISP Returns to Manila

    WISP “If Not Winter” TOUR LIVE IN MANILA on January 28, 2026, at Skydome, SM North EDSA

    Get ready for another unforgettable night of ethereal soundscapes and immersive live performance, WISP is coming back to the Philippines. Following her 2024 debut show in our shores, the shoegaze visionary returns for WISP “If Not Winter” TOUR LIVE IN MANILA, happening January 28, 2026, at the Skydome, SM North EDSA.

    Natalie R. Lu, professionally known as WISP, continues to capture audiences worldwide with her signature blend of shoegaze, indie rock and dreamy alternative textures. Rising to prominence through her viral breakout “Your Face,” the American artist carved a new lane within modern shoegaze, one that merges nostalgic 90’s atmosphere with a distinctly Gen-Z sensibility. With over 81 million streams on Spotify from “Your Face” alone, WISP has become one of the most compelling young voices redefining the genre online and on stage.

    Since her Manila debut in 2024, WISP’s artistry has continued to evolve. Her acclaimed EP Pandora introduced listeners to six ethereal tracks, including fan favorites “Tangled Dreams,” “Once Then We’ll Be Free,” and “See You Soon,” each exploring themes of solitude, desire and emotional release. The project cemented her as a transcendent force, an artist whose songs don’t simply play, but linger, painting feelings you can see, hear and almost touch.

    In 2025, WISP began a new creative era with her introspective material leading into the “If Not Winter” tour. The tour promises an expanded sonic universe of lush guitar layers, shimmering synth passages and vocal deliveries that drift and bloom like petals floating in slow motion. Her performances have been widely praised as atmospheric, intimate and cathartic, with WISP crafting a sensory world where audiences are invited to disappear into the music. For Manila, she is set to deliver a show that embraces vulnerability and dreamlike momentum, capturing the tender heart of her sound while elevating it through immersive live production.

    WISP fans in the Philippines, this is your chance to witness one of today’s most emotionally resonant young artists at the height of her craft.

  • ZIA QUIZON INKS TIES WITH STAR MUSIC; DROPS COMEBACK SINGLE “RETO NA NAMAN”!

    ZIA QUIZON INKS TIES WITH STAR MUSIC; DROPS COMEBACK SINGLE “RETO NA NAMAN”!

    Zia Quizon returns to the spotlight as she officially signs with ABS-CBN’s Star Music label, marking a new chapter in her music career with the release of her song “Reto Na Naman.” 

    “Parang loyal ako to a fault, this is the only world I know. Wala akong memory of ever na parang not involved with ABS-CBN in this world,” said Zia on joining the Kapamilya label.  

    Her comeback era kicked off at the Dolphy Theater last Thursday (Nov. 13), where she performed her hits “Ako Na Lang” and “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo” and her new music offering, “Reto Na Naman,” which was composed by Jungee Marcelo.   

    During the contract signing event, ABS-CBN Music and Integrated Events head Roxy Liquigan talked about how he previously missed Zia’s sound and presence.

    “When I was talking to Jonathan, I told him ‘I miss Zia Quizon!,’ yung sound niya, yung presence. And then finally, when we met her ulit, this is it. We should prepare. And of course, sino pa ba ang tatawagin natin is yung perennial mentor and adviser and composer, Jungee Marcelo,” shared Roxy. 

    Meanwhile, ABS-CBN Music creatives, content, and operations head Jonathan Manalo expressed excitement over having Zia part of their roster of recording artists. 

    “Pag naririnig mo kasi yung boses ni Zia, it’s one of its kind, fearless, standalone, nag-iisa lang,  walang katulad, kaya sobrang proud kami sa Star Music to finally call you our artist,” he said.    

    Also present at the contract signing event and music launch were Cornerstone Entertainment president and founder Erickson Raymundo, vice president Jeffrey Vadillo, Star Music label head Andie Arellano, and talent manager Nene Atillano. Zia’s mom, Zsa Zsa Padilla, was also present to support her daughter with the late Comedy King Dolphy. 

    Erickson shared that the single launch is just the start of their many plans for Zia, whom Cornerstone will manage in partnership with Star Music. 

    “Nung lumapit sa amin for a meeting si Zia, we were very, very excited kasi fan kami, so ang sarap mag-manage kapag fan ka ng isang artist. And now, this is just the first ng maraming mangyayari. We were just waiting for the launch of the single and to partner with Star Music, alam namin na marami kaming magagawa for you,” teased Erickson.

  • Bruce Unplugged: Deliver Me from Nowhere Captures the Silence That Saved Him

    Bruce Unplugged: Deliver Me from Nowhere Captures the Silence That Saved Him

    Directed by Scott Cooper and starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere is a thoughtful, introspective biopic that dives into a pivotal creative crossroads in the artist’s life, adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name. Rather than chasing the bombast of arena-rock glory, this film opts for a quieter, more personal lane focusing on the raw emotional undercurrents that fueled one of Springsteen’s most haunting works. It’s a deliberate choice that sets it apart from the genre’s usual parade of hits and triumphs, though it occasionally feels like it’s idling in neutral when you’d crave a bit more acceleration.

    In the world of rock biopics, where the genre too often turns into jukebox montages and triumphant air-guitar solos, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere comes across like an unpolished cassette demo: raw, personal, and proudly uncommercial. Scott Cooper directed this movie, which is based on Warren Zanes’ book of the same name and has some elements from Bruce Springsteen’s memoir Born to Run. It doesn’t follow the fireworks of stadium anthems or the rags-to-riches story. This film opts for a quieter, more personal lane focusing on the raw emotional undercurrents that fueled one of Springsteen’s most haunting works. It’s a deliberate choice that sets it apart from the genre’s usual parade of hits and triumphs, though it occasionally feels like it’s idling in neutral when you’d crave a bit more acceleration.

    It haunts down in the dim corners of 1981 New Jersey, capturing a 32-year-old Bruce Springsteen (a haunted Jeremy Allen White) wrestling with burnout, depression, and the ghosts of his working-class roots. It’s a movie about the silence between songs, the kind that birthed Nebraska, and it subtly teases the explosive reinvention that would follow with Born in the U.S.A..

    Deliver Me from Nowhere honors that by being small when it could be big and personal when it could be fake. For fans, it’s a must-have; for newcomers, it’s a way to understand why Bruce is still around not as an icon, but as a bard for everyone. This quiet storm might be the Boss’s best movie tribute yet, even though there are more loud Oscar bait movies this year.

    Deliver Me from Nowhere is now exclusively showing at the Ayala Malls.
