(Music Video) "Nasa Atin ang Panalo" SB19, BINI, SunKissed Lola, Flow G and Puregold's Ultimate OPM Collaboration

After weeks of building anticipation and dropping hints on their social media platforms, Puregold has finally unveiled the music video to the new song “Nasa Atin ang Panalo.”

Released on May 25, the video is a must-watch for Pinoy pop fans. It serves as the ultimate collaboration of four of the country’s most sizzling musical acts: SB19, BINI, SunKissed Lola, and Flow G.

“These four artists are the powerhouse acts in Philippine music today. Collaborating with them is an excellent opportunity to reinforce Puregold's brand message,” said Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “Puregold proudly celebrates their achievements and is dedicated to continuously uplifting Filipino talent. And as we look forward to our 500th store milestone, it’s a privilege to have these artists produce a song that authentically represents our core values.”

The music video shows all four acts together singing and dancing along in a stylized Puregold store. They flaunt their diverse talents: harmonizing, dancing to exciting choreography, playing instrumental solos, or, in the case of Flow G, writing and rapping their own verses.

Beyond just the monumental feat of having all four mega acts in a single music video for the same song, “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” also celebrates the people of Puregold. Dancing alongside them and sharing the spotlight in the music video are the everyday shoppers and store staff that keep Puregold a running success from day to day. Puregold’s very own Aling Puring even makes an appearance to jam with the country’s biggest stars.

The song perfectly captures the “panalo” spirit that has defined Puregold’s long history in the retail business. Beyond that, it also speaks to the “panalo” stories of the artists involved in creating it. Each one has come into this project with their own stories of success.

SunKissed Lola’s relentless ascent in the industry affirms their commitment to turning dreams into reality. BINI’s growth and coming-of-age narrative serves as a reminder of the profound value of transformation and evolution over time. Flow G’s unwavering determination in the face of constant obstacles demonstrates his resilience and resolve to forge ahead. SB19’s journey, filled with triumphs and trials, is a powerful example of the ability to bounce back and confront each new day.

The collaborative song combines all of these elements in a single that can be enjoyed online now and soon on streaming platforms like Spotify.

Excitingly for Pinoy pop fans, there’s even more looming on the horizon. All four artists have already teased solo tracks that will soon drop with Puregold in the forthcoming weeks. Each new original song will dive further into the artists’ individual qualities that have allowed them to reach their “always panalo” dreams. Fans are encouraged to keep a close eye on Puregold’s social media accounts for further developments.

StarPop’s Newest Singing Heartthrob Rob Blackburn Muses on Finding Love in Debut Single "Biyernes ng Gabi"

Former “Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10” housemate Rob Blackburn who now goes by the mononym Blackburn longs for a deep connection with his beloved in his debut single “Biyernes ng Gabi.”

He performed the song for the first time at the “Star Magic Hot Summer 2024” event where he also showcased his fitness transformation.

”Biyernes ng Gabi” captures the feeling of relief during the last day of a work week and how it would be a perfect day to spend with someone special.

“There was this time my family was outside of the country, I was left on my own, and my friends constantly invited me out on Fridays. I sometimes felt Fridays could be hectic if it’s not spent with the right person. I wanted to relax on Friday nights with a special person, though I’m still not sure who she is yet,” he said.

Blackburn composed “Biyernes ng Gabi” while StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos led its production.

From an early age, Blackburn discovered his love for music through singing at parties, talent shows, and joining musicals during his high school.

“I fell in love with using my voice to entertain others and I found what I was good at. I then sang more consistently, whether or not that was recess in school, my room, the bathroom or humming to melodies in the classroom. I enhanced my passion by joining talent shows and performing as a singer in community parties,” the StarPop artist shared.

He continued to flourish as an actor starring in the Pie Channel series “The Chosen One” and “Eat Pray Love.” Now, he begins to venture into music where he can showcase his passion for singing and songwriting. Some of his musical influences come from rock bands such as Blink-182, Sum 41, My Chemical Romance, The Goo Goo Dolls, Eraserheads, Rivermaya, and Kamikaze and pop artists such as Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5.

Check out Blackburn’s debut single “Biyernes ng Gabi” available on various digital streaming platforms.

TNT Wins Best Branding Campaign in First-Ever TikTok Ad Awards PH

TNT, the value brand of mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has won the Best Branding Campaign gold award for its TNT Petmaloop Challenge in the first-ever TikTok Ad Awards Philippines.

“The TNT Petmaloop Challenge bested over 150 submissions from various consumer brands to win gold in the Best Branding Campaign category,” said Paolo David, Country Head for Brand Growth and Partnerships at TikTok, who earlier said that the awards aim to “recognize brands for their remarkable endeavors in crafting entertaining campaigns that resonate with communities, inspiring them to take meaningful action."

Launched in October 2023, the TNT Petmaloop Challenge urged content creators nationwide to feature interesting highlights about their communities and regions that give them ‘saya’ or joy and upload them on TikTok. As part of the challenge, the participants could only use one TNT-powered smartphone, which they passed from one user to another in a relay.

The brand took everything to a whole new level by enabling the participants to livestream their journey from Bulacan to Manila on the video-sharing app without interruption, a feat that successfully set the Guinness World Record for the Longest Travel Livestream for a total of 26 hours, 15 minutes, and 29 seconds.

To mount the nationwide campaign, TNT worked closely with its partner agencies Ace Saatchi and Saatchi, Wavemaker Philippines, and CTV Inc.

“We thank TikTok Philippines for this prestigious award, which is a testament to the creativity, ingenuity, and passion of our internal teams and agency partners in creating a groundbreaking campaign that fostered a sense of pride among Filipinos,” said Alex O. Caeg, Head of Smart Consumer Wireless Business.

“We dedicate this award to our subscribers, whose trust and loyalty inspire us every day to fulfill our mission of bringing ‘saya’ to Filipinos not just through our value-packed services but also through fun and meaningful campaigns, true to the essence of our brand,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, Head of Prepaid at Smart.

"Our subscribers can look forward to more affordable offers that keep them connected and happy, powered by our widest network coverage," said Erika Apostol, Head of TNT.

TNT’s Best Branding Campaign award from TikTok is the latest in a string of local and international recognitions that the brand received for its memorable and viral campaigns.

TNT is set to receive a gold award under the Innovation in Content Marketing/Branded Editorial category of the upcoming 11th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards for its Petmaloop Challenge.

On the other hand, its SIM Registration campaign, which consists of a series of public service reminders encouraging subscribers to register their SIM, not only earned millions of views and viral engagement, but also earned awards at the 16th Kidlat Awards, AdFest 2024, Boomerang 2023 Awards, Korea’s MAD Stars 2023, and a gold Stevie Award under the Cause-Related Videos category.

From being a humble 'kontesera,' Bukidnon's teen belter Jillian Pamat of Coach Bamboo's Kamp Kawayan has gone a long way in reaching her dreams as a singer after becoming the grand champion of "The Voice Teens" Season 3.

During the show's two-night Final Showdown last May 18–19, Jillian impressed the coaches and crowd with her string of performances, from her duet act of "Tatsulok" with Bamboo and a showstopping rendition of Sarah Geronimo's trending hit "Ikot-Ikot," to her ballad twist on the 1994 rock classic "Tag-Ulan" - managing to secure the most audience votes among the Final 3 with 53.09%. She then is followed by MarTeam's Steph Lacuata as first runner-up with 24.99% and Team Supreme hopeful Yen Victoria as its third placer with 21.91%.

Anya Taylor-Joy is ferocious as Furiosa in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”

“There’s something resolute, highly determined, and ultimately ferocious that’s in her. And that’s seen on the screen,” director George Miller describes watching Anya Taylor-Joy in action as the titular character in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the latest installment in the epic post-apocalyptic Mad Max franchise.

Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/1Qt4Z25kdiE

Miller admires the way that Taylor-Joy added to Furiosa’s character, forming it with her own understanding of the vicious warrior. “Anya was a wonderful collaborator whose contributions added to the depth of the character, making it her own. There's no question that she brought something that’s ferocious to the movie - whether it’s in her or not, she found that in herself. And it’s something that I sensed in her work previous to working with her.”

Taylor-Joy was in Miller’s radar early on in her career, and her acting prowess from her previous films stood out to the director. “I’d seen Anya in The VVitch, way back in the time Fury Road came out - she was very young then - and then I saw her in an early cut that Edgar Wright showed me of Last Night in Soho. When I saw her on the screen, I thought, “There’s something very compelling about her,”” Miller recalls. “Very, very present, fierce and resolute, even in the character, singing and dancing. She had those skills already, which I think is a really good marker of a skilled actor. They have a lot of precision, physically, and therefore I think ultimately emotionally.”

Taylor-Joy felt a very close connection to Furiosa, and that’s how she approached the character during filming. “ Furiosa, the second I read it, I was like, “Okay, this is going to be one of those ones where it’s very difficult to separate yourself, you’re going to feel like you are in these scenes and it’s going to feel real.” So, I don’t really think I had much of a choice in terms of my artistry in making it my own. It was just very real for me.”

Training for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga also made Taylor-Joy feel like she’s the strongest she’s ever been. “What’s crazy about it is I definitely did more training in the year prior to the movie than I was able to fit in while making the film. And yet, I was stronger than I’ve ever been, because throwing yourself around a War Rig requires every muscle in your body. My workout became coming to work and doing the scenes, and I felt quite proud of my strength during that time.”

Overall, Taylor-Joy just feels hopeful and grateful for being a part of something epic, or something even more, in her words. “ It’s pretty intense. This film is so beyond the word epic that I actually can’t think of a word for it. Epic in scale, epic in ambition, epic in emotion, epic in action. It is a huge movie, and I think there is something for everyone. I think we’re going to take you on an insane ride that you will be exhausted by the end of it, but also relieved, because we give you that catharsis,” she says. “And I really hope for young women to come to believe that you are stronger than you think you are, you have more power than you think you have, and you can do a lot with that. There is just consistent pressure, but we’re gonna get there.”
