KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad Go from Strangers to Lovers in Hong Kong


In KD Estrada’s latest single “Be with U”, a serendipitous meeting between two unsuspecting individuals leads to a sweet journey through the beautiful bustling streets of Hong Kong. The song describes the feeling of wanting to spend every waking moment with that special someone, and in true kilig fashion, KD also stars in the music video alongside his long-time partner and fellow artist Alexa Ilacad. The couple, known as KDLex, has had their fair share of Hong Kong adventures, having starred in “Toss Coin” directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, a microfilm about two Filipinos meeting and falling in love in Hong Kong, a near-mirror image of this music video. What makes it more special this time around is that the ever-enthusiastic KDLex fans helped pitch in with their own suggestions on which Hong Kong hidden gems to visit!

The video follows the two as they explore the different sides that Hong Kong has to offer, the city becoming the perfect couple’s paradise. More than the usual theme parks and city dwellings, Hong Kong has a lot more for couples who are looking for unique ways to spend their time together; from spontaneous weekend getaways to longer days touring the outlying islands of Hong Kong with your treasured person, take inspiration from KD’s “Be With U” music video and plan that trip to the city!

The view with U

KD and Alexa kick off the music video by meeting high up in the sky, at the Peak Galleria Observation Deck, a spacious observation deck adjacent to the Peak Galleria mall that offers a panoramic view from Victoria Peak. 


Just like KDLex, breathe in the high altitude air after a shopping trip and bask in the views of Hong Kong.

The quiet charm of Cheung Chau

The two stars eventually end up bumping into each other once more on the scenic island of Cheung Chau, the perfect getaway from the usual clamor of Hong Kong with its beautiful waterfront, filled with gently rocking moored fishing boats, and seafood restaurants. The island is just a short ferry ride away, with the standard ferry taking approximately an hour to reach Cheung Chau, while the fast ferry takes between 35 to 40 minutes. Central Pier No. 5 has a ferry service that travels daily to and from the island.

There are no cars on this island as the norm is bike riding, a habit that contributes to the peaceful atmosphere of the island. Alexa was charmed by this way of transportation, saying, “I don’t get to ride bikes often, so I was a bit shaky, but KD was there to help.” She goes on to gush about the island even more: “Cheung Chau was the perfect place to take it slow on the bike as it’s very scenic and there are no cars to chase you down,” Alexa adds with a laugh. “I hope to be back soon just to relax and take the atmosphere in,” the actress concludes. Here you’ll also find everything from hiking trails to hip cafes in a culturally rich community, celebrated by the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival.


KD and Alexa dropped by Kwok Kam Kee, the oldest lucky bun bakery in Cheung Chau, sharing a sweet bite together. The bakery is the oldest lucky bun bakery in Cheung Chau and makes approximately 30,000 of the buns sold and given away during the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. Each bun is printed with the Chinese letters “Ping On” which translates to “safety”. The bold red print is hard to miss and the filling that bursts with flavor is equally unforgettable. “The sweetness is a nice surprise and is different from other steamed buns I’ve had,” Alexa says. KD agrees and adds, “The texture is what makes it stand out. It’s really filling, nakakabusog siya, no?


Kwok Kam Kee can be found at G/F, 46 Pak She Street, Cheung Chau.

KD and Alexa continued on their Cheung Chau food trip with the MTR mosaic wall-inspired Cheung Chau Corner where they enjoyed a yogurt drink together, as well as tasty giant curry fishballs at Welcome Food Court. Space is another cafe along the quieter side of the Cheung Chau harbor that serves different menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with affordable prices. If traditional desserts are more your thing, Wan Sing Dessert is where they serve the Cheung Chau favorite, the famous mango mochi.

Of course, as Filipinos, we had to try the mango mochi,” KD shares. “Just like the ones we have at home, the mochi was very refreshing. Super sarap!

Welcome Food Court is located at G/F, 150 San Hing Back Street, while Cheung Chau Corner is at G/F, 78 San Hing Street, Cheung Chau. Space is at 7 Tai Hing Tai Road, Cheung Chau and Wan Sing can be found at G/F, 5 San Hing Street, Cheung Chau.


Nothing can get more romantic than the Love Lock Wall, a maze of chain metal walls where friends and couples hang locks and heart-shaped wooden plaques with hand-written messages to commemorate their visit to the island. This is where couples can leave a little piece of them, marking this destination as a part of their love story. In fact, KD and Alexa left a little easter egg for their fans who plan to visit Cheung Chau: a hand-painted portrait of the two of them on a heart-shaped wooden plaque. The BnB The Creative Workshop is where KD and Alexa got their craft on and is also where visitors can acquire souvenirs and trinkets that they can hang up on the Love Lock Wall.

You may find the Love Lock Wall at 156 Sun Hing Back Street, Cheung Chau.

The perfect date night in Central and Kowloon

Couples looking to end the night on a high should include the Temple Street Night Market and the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade in their itineraries. Temple Street Night Market boasts Hong Kong’s diverse culinary culture, welcoming visitors with a wide range of Hong Kong-style snacks along the Temple Street Archway. After a quick bite, enter any one of the cafes, bars, and restaurants along the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade for a drink and the perfect nightcap with views of the Hong Kong skyline, Victoria Harbour, and the outlying islands of Hong Kong.


And finally, the Hong Kong Observatory Wheel is there to make the night even more special, Located at the Central Waterfront Promenade, the 60-meter-high Hong Kong Observation Wheel provides panoramic views over Victoria Harbor, a scene that would truly take your breath away. This place is a hot spot for all the romantic gestures such as wedding proposals so there’s no shortage of romance here! Couples can go the extra mile and book a VIP gondola for a more private and exclusive night spent gazing down at the city.


The Hong Kong Observatory Wheel is located at 33 Man Kwong Street, Central.

The music video ends with a sweet moment shared by KD and Alexa, exchanging love locks on Central Pier 9, against the backdrop of the glittering lights and calm waters, the perfect place to spend a quiet moment with your significant other, enjoying the view of Victoria Harbour as the Star Ferry and Aqua Luna sail by. This location is also reminiscent of another beloved Hong Kong love story as Central Pier 9 is where a number of scenes from the movie “Hello Love Goodbye” take place.

From older couples who have seen each other’s different stages in life to those still in the honeymoon phase, Hong Kong remains as the city where love continues to bloom. And if you’re like KD and Alexa in the music video, wandering solo around the city, you may just discover that love is right around every corner of Hong Kong.

Watch KD’s “Be With U” music video here and explore more of Hong Kong’s hidden gems here.

Forest Lake Memorial Parks Launches Pagpag Halloween Video: A Blend of Humor, Filipino Culture, and a Reminder to Plan for the Future


Following three humorous and fun videos that featured unique Filipino cultural beliefs, trusted name in memorial care Forest Lake Memorial Parks has released the fourth installment of its groundbreaking series in time for Halloween, Pagpag.

In a light-hearted and quirky way, Pagpag is a Halloween video explores the Filipino tradition of “pagpag,” in which mourners avoid going home straight from a funeral wake to “deter” the spirit of the departed from following them home.


Through this long-standing custom, Forest Lake also delivers a deeper and more significant message: while we may try to delay or avoid death, the “end of life” is very much a part of our life cycle - and one that we must ultimately embrace. 

In Pagpag, Forest Lake also reminds families of the importance of planning ahead - taking proactive steps for the future as preparedness is key to ensuring security for the ones we love.

Old customs like ‘pagpag’ reflect Filipinos’ desire to shield themselves and their families from the unknown. Forest Lake, however, believes that true peace of mind comes not from avoiding the topic of death, but from accepting it as an inevitable part of life and preparing for it in meaningful ways,” said Alfred Xerez-Burgos III, CEO & President of Forest Lake Development Inc.

The Pagpag Halloween video is the fourth video of Forest Lake’s campaign series titled ‘Di Mo Inexpect No’, which aims to present Filipino life-and-death-related customs and superstitions in unique and unexpected ways.


Previous videos in the series are Paliwanag, which reflects on the unpredictability of life; Itim na Pusa, which tackles superstitions involving bad luck; and Talon, a fun take on the belief that jumping on New Year's Eve will make you taller.

This latest campaign stresses the importance of preparation, reminding Filipinos that accepting death is also about planning for it in different ways: arranging memorial services, securing interment rights, and considering long-term care options, which, in the long run, ease the emotional and financial burdens that come with loss.

Juan Carlos Xerez-Burgos, Director for Business Development & Digital at Forest Lake, adds, “We hope this campaign helps Filipinos face death with a lighter heart, knowing that with preparation, they can offer comfort to their loved ones. We’re here to support families in every step of the way.

Designed to provide comprehensive support while celebrating and preserving memories for generations, Forest Lake’s Total Memorial Care Services include the following services, Libing Anywhere, which provides flexibility in interment locations; Libre Burol, a free standard funeral service for families availing of interment services; QRonicle, a digital storytelling platform that allows families to store and share stories of loved ones; and the easy-to-use Customer Portal, which enables families to purchase memorial services with just a few clicks.

For over 27 years, Forest Lake has established itself as a leader in providing thoughtfully designed, family-friendly memorial parks throughout Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

DigiPlus, BingoPlus Foundation Bring Smiles on BingoPlus Day MassKara Festival with Grants for Education, Healthcare, and Livelihood in Negros Occidental


In celebration of the vibrant MassKara Festival, DigiPlus and its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, announced its commitments to deliver impactful grants and resources to the people of Negros Occidental during “BingoPlus Day” last October 20, 2024 in Bacolod City. 

Through initiatives supporting education, healthcare, and indigenous livelihoods, the Foundation demonstrated its commitment to uplifting communities and fostering inclusive development. With a total donation package of Php3 million, BingoPlus Foundation aims to make a lasting impact across the province.

Igniting Young Innovators – Robotics and Programming Enhanced in Cadiz

To empower local youth with future-ready skills, BingoPlus Foundation awarded Cadiz Public Library a Php500,000 grant for robotics and programming kits, alongside teacher training. 


The investment aims to inspire students to pursue technological innovations, like Grade 12 student Angeline, a budding inventor and a National Science and Technology Fair 2024 Top Finalist for Robotics and Intelligent Machines. A portion of the grant will enable Angeline to further develop her prototypes for a mini weather system and a breast cancer detection machine, potentially benefiting vulnerable communities.

Sustaining Karolano Indigenous Leaders – Today and Tomorrow

To honor the Karolanos, an indigenous community in Kabangkalan, BingoPlus Foundation allocated a Php1 million grant to provide vision screening and lenses to all elders across 12 barangays who continue to farm the land and uphold their cultural heritage. 



Further funding will provide tablets for Karolano youth who have secured public scholarships for tuition but lack access to essential learning tools to continue their pursuit of higher education. This initiative reflects the Foundation’s dedication to bridging gaps and nurturing leaders, both present and future, for the sustained livelihood of indigenous people.

Empowering Healthcare – Valladolid District Hospital Upgraded, Patients Supported

Understanding the essential role Valladolid District Hospital plays in serving indigent patients, BingoPlus Foundation awarded a Php1,500,000 grant to improve hospital facilities and patient care. Critical upgrades include hospital beds, IV stands, operating tables, wheelchairs, and other medical equipment. 


The hospital will designate a section as the "PLUS Center for Accessible Healthcare," furthering the Foundation’s mission to make healthcare within reach for underserved communities. This grant will also support expenses of select indigent patients to help relieve the financial burden of life-saving procedures provided by the hospital.

Building a Stronger, Healthier Negros Occidental

Ahead of BingoPlus Day, the Foundation also supported the annual “Libre Nga Operasyon” organized by Nikki Cares Foundation last September by providing after-care kits for the recovery of surgical patients and vitamins for continued eyecare of optical patients. This followed earlier initiatives of the Foundation in June, delivering disaster relief in the wake of the Mt. Kanlaon eruption and supporting the government’s medical caravan, LAB for ALL, in Bacolod City.


DigiPlus Interactive and BingoPlus Foundation’s initiatives in Negros Occidental exemplify its dedication to community upliftment, investing in sustainable growth, and empowering individuals. "While we deliver programs nationwide, the Foundation always considers the unique local needs of each community. Much like the beloved MassKara Festival, we hope to continue serving Filipinos with a smile and making our BingoPlus Day more meaningful to Negrenses” said DigiPlus President and BingoPlus Foundation Chairman, Andy Tsui.

“Just as BingoPlus has achieved so many great things, so has the BingoPlus Foundation. We bring people the fun they want, but the Foundation brings the care they need,” added Rafael Jasper Vicencio, DigiPlus Director and President of AB Leisure Exponent Inc., the provider of BingoPlus.

From 87North - producers of the groundbreaking action films Nobody, Violent Night, Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde and The Fall Guy - comes a visceral, high-octane story of wrath and revenge.

Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor working the Milwaukee suburbs, where ‘For Sale’ signs bloom. Gable receives a crimson envelope from Rose (Oscar® winner Ariana DeBose; West Side Story, Argylle), a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead. She’s not happy.

Now, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen, filled with double-crosses and open houses turned into deadly warzones. With his brother Knuckles (Daniel Wu; Tomb Raider, Warcraft), a volatile crime lord, hunting him, Marvin must confront the choices that haunt him and the history he never truly buried.

The film features a killer soundtrack and impressive and diverse cast that includes former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch (Bottoms, 80 for Brady), Mustafa Shakir (Emancipation, Luke Cage), Lio Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love., Lucy), Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level, Yes Man), André Eriksen (Violent Night, The Trip) and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Perry Mason).

Pamilya o Kapangyarihan:: "Pamilya Sagrado" Down to Action-Pack Last 3 Weeks Directed by Coco Martin


A grand action-packed ensemble unfolds between good and evil where justice may finally prevail in the last three weeks of ABS-CBN’s teleserye “Pamilya Sagrado.”

Piolo Pascual, Grae Fernandez, and Kyle Echarri give viewers a taste of their action skills as they come face-to-face once and for all in the ultimate “Sagrado versus Sagrado” showdown - with special guest director Coco Martin.



Former president Rafael (Piolo) will make the most difficult sacrifice for his two sons, Justin and Moises (Grae and Kyle), when he puts his life on the line in an attempt to finally put an end to their hatred towards each other.

But Rafael’s dangerous mission will be a lot more difficult than he expected since Justin is playing mind games in order for Moises to turn against Rafael. Justin lied to Moises and implicated Rafael as the one responsible for the murder of Moi’s mother, Cristine (Bela Padilla).

The impending confrontation between Rafael, Justin, and Moises will reach greater heights when the power-hungry Jaime (Tirso Cruz III) amps up his violent schemes, while Eleazar (John Arcilla) also gets involved in the do-or-die encounter with his group of armed men. Innocent lives will also be in danger when Moi’s family members, Estong and Grace (Joel Torre and Shaina Magdayao), take matters into their own hands and try to rescue Moi.


Whose life will be sacrificed in Moises’ quest for justice? Will Rafael finally find the peace that he’s been longing for with his sons?
