Anne Hathaway is "Mother Mary," Showing in PH Theaters on April 22

Anne Hathaway stuns as the titular global pop icon in the new pop psychological thriller "Mother Mary," an ambitious film produced by A24 exclusively distributed in the Philippines by CreaZion Studios.

The full synopsis goes: “Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (played by Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance.” The film makes the viewers curious - how much of your soul are you willing to lose for fame and vanity?

Mother Mary is written and directed by David Lowery. The filmmaker takes viewers to a musical journey in the backdrop of an unlikely reunion between former friends, while exploring the haunting effect of long-lost formidable connections. The movie features original music by Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff, and FKA Twigs, who also acts in “Mother Mary”.

The singles “Burial”, performed by Hathaway; and “My Mouth is Lonely For You” by Twigs is out now. Meanwhile, the film’s digital soundtrack, featuring seven songs, will drop on Hathaway’s music streaming accounts this April.

Mother Mary also showcases an impressive cast that includes Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, and FKA Twigs.

Showing on April 22, 2026, Mother Mary is the second A24 title CreaZion Studios is bringing to Filipino audiences this year. It has recently announced BACKROOMS with a Philippine release date on June 3. The acquisition of these highly-anticipated films is part of the company’s #KwentoMoTo mission to make “Human Stories and Human Experiences” accessible to Filipino and Southeast Asian audiences.

“Whether you are a fan of elevated genres or you simply want to have a good time watching a movie, CreaZion Studios got you covered with an exciting lineup of film offerings that can be enjoyed on the best screen and great surround sound possible, in cinemas near you,” said RJ San Agustin, President & CEO of CreaZion Studios.

“By bringing in the most disruptive and talked-about films to the country and Southeast Asian (SEA) region, CreaZion Studios hopes to bridge human stories and experiences to this side of the world,” he added.

Last year, CreaZion Studios successfully brought to the domestic and SEA markets the critically-acclaimed filmmaker Park Chan Wook’s No Other Choice and A24 fantasy adventure film The Legend of Ochi; and in 2024, the award-winning body horror film The Substance

From Childhood Cravings to the Big Screen: Will Ashley Shares His “One & Only” Piattos Moment

Rising star Will Ashley isn’t just the new face of Jack ‘n Jill Piattos; he’s been a loyal fan long before stepping into the spotlight. Now, as he proudly represents the iconic Pinoy snack brand, Will brings a genuine connection that goes beyond the cameras.

Growing up with a brand he genuinely loves

Will’s journey from enjoying Piattos as a kid to becoming its ambassador feels like a full-circle moment, blending authenticity with star power and making his partnership with the brand all the more meaningful.

“I’m so happy and proud to be the newest Piattos ambassador, especially since it’s been my favorite snack since childhood,” he shared, recalling afternoons spent playing with friends and reaching for Piattos as their go-to merienda. “One of the reasons I love Piattos is hindi siya nakakaumay, I never get tired of it. I can easily finish a whole bag in one sitting,” he said, adding that each bag has always been his ultimate craving solver.

Discovering his passions

As one of showbiz’s promising new faces, Will has already begun carving out his path with his debut roles, proving that acting is a craft he naturally connects with. “Acting allows me to step into the shoes of different characters and embody their stories and struggles,” he said, emphasizing how comfortable he feels in front of the camera.

Beyond acting, his stint on Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) opened another creative door. “During my time in PBB, I developed a love and passion for music. Nakakatulong din that I have musician friends who inspire me and help me pursue this new craft,” he said.

Adding more flavor to his me-time moments

As a lifetime snacker of Piattos, one of Will’s favorite flavors is a classic: “It has to be Sour Cream & Onion. It always satisfies my cravings just like the other flavors of Piattos. I used to buy multiple bags whenever I hung out with friends.”

Sour Cream & Onion is also Will’s go-to Piattos flavor during his me-time moments. “I try to find time to listen to music, especially new local songs, or even catch up on my favorite shows and happenings.”

From childhood snack breaks to big-screen dreams, Will Ashley’s journey with Piattos is a story of growing up, chasing passions, and staying true to what you love. As he continues to shine in showbiz and explore new creative pursuits, one thing remains constant: Piattos will always be his “one and only,” a familiar favorite that has been with him every step of the way.

Puregold Highlights Sari-Sari Stores’ Role in Driving Grassroots Commerce and MSME Growth

In its final installment of the Sari-Sari Stories, Puregold releases “Pangalan,” a moving tribute to the sari-sari stores that continue to power daily life, grassroots enterprise, and community connection across the Philippines.

Following “Ways,” “The Sign,” and “The Witness,” Puregold broadens the conversation from nostalgia to economic relevance, highlighting how sari-sari stores continue to serve as accessible retail touchpoints, community anchors, and entry-level enterprises that support household livelihoods in the country.

Sari-sari stores go beyond informal neighborhood retail. They function as last-mile commerce points that respond to everyday consumer needs with proximity, familiarity, and flexible purchasing options. Their resilience has allowed them to remain relevant even as the retail landscape continues to evolve.

That economic role is matched by social relevance. At the heart of “Pangalan” is the idea that sari-sari stores are more than neighborhood shops: they are trusted spaces that people turn to not only for essentials, but for connection and reliability. The film captures this dual role in distinctly Filipino terms: the store as tanungan, tambayan, and takbuhan.

The narrative is reinforced by appearances of OPM artists Jhoanna Robles of BINI, Stell Ajero of SB19, and Skusta Clee, whose personal recollections reflect the deep familiarity of sari-sari stores in Filipino life. Their participation adds cultural relevance to a message ultimately anchored in enterprise, accessibility, and community-based retail.

Puregold’s focus on this segment remains rooted in mass-market demand and the practical realities of everyday consumption. By spotlighting community-based retail, the company reinforces its relevance at the grassroots level while drawing attention to the vital contribution of MSMEs to the domestic economy.

The timing is equally strategic, with MSMEs already looking ahead at the upcoming Puregold Tindahan Ni Aling Puring Sari-Sari Store Convention in May. The annual event has become a key platform for sari-sari store owners, entrepreneurs, and partner suppliers, underscoring Puregold’s enduring commitment to small business development and ecosystem growth.

The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and long- term security support, the new Galaxy A series is built to last. Leading the lineup is Galaxy A57 5G, featuring a slimmer, more refined design and upgraded AI-powered capabilities that make it the most powerful Galaxy A series device yet.

Voice Transcription is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. AI Select is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag & Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.

Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. Object Eraser now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café.

The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organizing plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded Bixby  lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while Gemini  navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.

Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP). The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor , delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.

Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity. 

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimization to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.

Performance for Streaming and Multitasking

Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance , combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.

Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new Private Album, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also proactively notify users about potential risks with Privacy Alerts, which are intelligent notifications that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.

This is your moment, Manila! 

K-pop’s champions of youth TWS (pronounced ‘Two-Us’), consisting of six members - SHINYU, DOHOON, YOUNGJAE, HANJIN, JIHOON, and KYUNGMIN, announces their much-anticipated VR concert, (hereinafter: ‘RUSH ROAD’), which is confirmed to be shown in Manila exclusively at Gateway Cineplex from April 17 to 26 April, 2026.

The title signifies the journey of youth racing endlessly, symbolically capturing a structural staging that involves entering a new world by following the path. Beyond simply watching the stage, the audience can experience deep immersion, feeling as if they are passing through a journey together with TWS.

This VR concert showcases diverse spatial transformations, starting from a rock festival scene where music explodes, continuing to a rooftop bathed in a golden sunset, and culminating in an aurora unfolding like a scene from a movie. The space and atmosphere transition organically, creating a three-dimensional experience unlike anything found elsewhere. It is also garnering anticipation by promising the longest running time among all VR concerts to date.

In addition, their hit songs “OVERDRIVE” and “plot twist” meet the VR stage, adding new visual spectacles. Furthermore, through “Oh Mymy : 7s,” a song that highlights the sextet’s synchronized choreography and powerful energy, you can enjoy their musical narrative that oscillates between excitement and confidence.

With AMAZE’s proprietary technology, ‘RUSH ROAD’ elevates its overall quality by implementing three-dimensional staging that feels like an extension of reality, stylish camera work, and sound design that maximizes their sense of presence.

Gloc-9 Launches Seven Poetry Chapbooks "Makata Sa Pinas"

Gloc-9, going by his real name Aristotle Pollisco, has launched seven poetry chapbooks under the omnibus title Makata Sa Pinas - a hashtag he has been using the past decade.

While Gloc-9 previously released the poetry book Akin Lang Naman in 2017 with ABS-CBN Publishing, this new project offers a different approach to presenting his work as poetry. This time, Gloc-9 envisioned a series of slimmer volumes - a concept that became the starting point of the project.

In collaboration with the small press Everything’s Fine, the idea grew into a deeper reexamination of his entire discography. By revisiting the recurring themes and subject matter that consistently surface throughout his music, seven chapbooks were developed, each shaped around these enduring ideas and reflections.

The first three chapbooks are personal. "Pagkatao" tracks his development as a poet, talking about his roots in Binangonan, Rizal, and how this formed him into the rapper that we now know as Gloc-9. "Pangarap" includes all the poems about his dreams of becoming a songwriter and a rapper, reaching those aspirations, and reassessing what that means to him. "Pursigi" talks about the kind of hard work and persistence that reaching one's ambitions demands, the clarity of one's goals, and the importance of holding on to one's values.

From the personal, the next two chapbooks slowly shift to Gloc-9's storytelling through poetry. "Pagibig" speaks of love — from the familial to the romantic, and to the ones that unravel and end painfully. "Komunidad" tells the stories of the people that exist in our local neighborhoods — the people we talk to, the ones we care for, the ones we rarely see.

The final two chapbooks turn to the more political dimensions of Gloc-9’s poetry. “Lipunan” reflects on the kind of society we have collectively - and often unconsciously - built, shaped by who we have become as people and by the hate and compassion we choose to nurture within it. "Bayan" is composed of the stories of our nation that few popular songwriters speak of, from the perspective of the struggling majority who suffer in the hands of the wealthy and powerful few.

In totality, the seven chapbooks of Makata Sa Pinas capture the 28 years of Aristotle Pollisco as the poet of the nation. It also reminds us of how much more he can continue to do, given where he comes from, who he has become, and the legacy he has continued to build.

About the books

Makata Sa Pinas: Mga Tula ni Aristotle Pollisco is a collection of seven poetry chapbooks by Gloc-9, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco. The works draw inspiration from the themes and stories found throughout his 28-year discography as one of the Philippines’ most influential rapper-songwriters.

The seven chapbooks present Pollisco’s poetry as an evolving journey—beginning with reflections on the personal self, expanding into the life of the community, and ultimately engaging with the broader socio-political realities of the nation.

Each chapbook stands on its own through its distinct themes and subject matter. Taken together, however, they invite readers to reflect more deeply on their identity, their place within their communities, the roles they play in society, and the importance of remaining aware of and engaged with issues that shape the nation.

More surprises from BINI are coming this year as they prepare for their upcoming performance in Coachella this April, where they will represent Philippine music, alongside other global artists including Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G.
