● Dance Fit Workout: A high-energy fusion of dance and fitness led by the Daily Reps Club that turned the court into a massive, beat-dropping workout session for the entire crowd.

● Flex-Off Stunt Competition: A fierce, stunt-only competition featuring three divisions where teams went head-to-head to showcase strength, technique, and teamwork.

Amid the intense workout sessions, Jackery’s Explorer Series provided the essential energy needed to power the event’s booths and programs.

“In cheerleading, roaring energy is everything. We believe that the passion and drive of our national athletes are what make them the ones to watch on the global stage," shared Igue Bonifacio, Marketing and Emerging Businesses head of Cognetics Inc. "And so we want to bring that same mission of 'life uninterrupted' to this community, ensuring they are supported and powered up as they chase their dreams."

The partnership was met with immense gratitude from the athletes and organizers who are currently in the final stretch of their training.

“STUNT FEST is more than just a cheer-fitness event; it’s about showing our national athletes that the country is behind them," says Evan Sunio, founder of Stunt Clinic and coach of the 2026 National Team. “Proceeds from every ticket and donation go directly toward our National Team as they represent the Philippines on the global stage."

Maki is set to bring the “Kolorcoaster” concert to the global stage and champion OPM further as he goes on a tour in Singapore, Indonesia, North America, Australia, and New Zealand starting this year.

The world tour announcement was made during his full-house, and successful “KOLORCOASTER: One More Ride” concert at the Araneta Coliseum last February 21, where Maki expressed his commitment to bringing the same high-energy performances that thrilled audiences at his local shows to fans around the world.

“I want to give the same energy here or even better sa iba’t ibang bansa kasi I’m not only representing myself, but also OPM. Nagulat na lang ako no’ng nakita ko yung poster tapos naisip ko, ‘Grabe pupuntahan ko lahat ito?’ When we see things like these happen in OPM, I feel really proud,” said the "Dilaw" hitmaker.

The vibrant world of “KOLORCOASTER” Asian tour, presented by Tarsier Records, ABS-CBN Music, ABS-CBN Global, and in partnership with Flabbergast Productions, is set to make its way across Singapore at The Theatre at Mediacorp on June 13 and in Indonesia at Bengkel Space on June 14. Fans can secure tickets and find more details via MakiKolorcoasterTour.myx.global.

Kickstart Your ‘Hobbymaxing Era’ with These 5 New Hobbies

The best time to start something new isn’t always January 1st - it’s the exact second inspiration hits your feed. We’re officially in the “Hobbymaxing Era,” where the goal isn't instant perfection but getting into the vibe of creating, finding your community, and sharing the whole journey with your circle of friends and loved ones.

Creative Journaling

Journaling has evolved far beyond the traditional diary into a highly visual and aesthetic playground.

Pro-tip: dive into the world of "journal flips" on social media whenever you need a fresh hit of inspo for your next entry.

Micro-Content Creation

You don’t need to be a professional influencer to enjoy the art of storytelling. Short vlogs, "day in the life" clips, and photo dumps allow you to document your passions without the pressure of a massive production. It’s a creative outlet that grows as you do.

KD Estrada Bares His Heart in Highly Anticipated Self-Titled Debut Album

Kapamilya singer-actor KD Estrada marks his return to the recording scene with his highly anticipated debut album, an emotional journey though the highs and lows of love.

The eight-track self-titled album, featuring “Dito,” “Over And Over,” “Together,” “Stay,” “Be With U (Acoustic Version),” “Ikaw Ang Simula,” “Sala,” and “Napadaan Lang,” captures the many stages of romance, from the thrill of falling in love and the sting of heartbreak to the quiet strength that comes with healing and moving forward.

The key track, “Ikaw Ang Simula” celebrates the beauty of new beginnings with someone who brings light, peace, and renewed purpose into one’s life. The song was composed by Gab Tagadtad and produced by StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos.

KD released his first single, “One of Many,” in 2019, followed by a slew of tracks like “Days,” “Love Led Us Here,” and “Be With U.” He also contributed to the soundtrack of “Run to Me” with songs "Mystery," and “When I See You Again” with Alexa Ilacad.

Beyond music, KD has proven his versatility as an actor, starring in the series “Unloving You,” “Bola, Bola”, and “Pira-Pirasong Paraiso.” He also ventured into theater as one of the stars of “Walang Aray” and “Bagets The Musical.”

A New Chapter for Ken San Jose in the Manila Production of Beloved Broadway Classic "A Chorus Line"

Known to many as one of today’s most visible young dance artists, whether through his viral TikTok choreography or his regular appearances on ASAP, Ken San Jose is now entering a new chapter that brings him back to where it all began, the theater stage.

Ken will be stepping into the role of Mark Anthony in the Manila run of the beloved Broadway classic A Chorus Line, produced by Theatre Group Asia and directed by Emmy Award–winning choreographer Karla Puno Garcia, who earned her Emmy for her work on the 76th Tony Awards. Mark is the youngest member of the ensemble, an optimistic first-timer whose exceptional dance ability, quick wit, and unfiltered enthusiasm set him apart. Naive yet perceptive, the character brings levity and heart to the line, embodying the hope and eagerness of someone just beginning to navigate the realities of a professional dance career.

While audiences often associate Ken with contemporary dance and pop culture platforms like TikTok, few know that he actually grew up doing theater alongside his dance training. Long before the spotlight of television and social media, the stage was already his home.

That foundation began resurfacing last year when Ken appeared in Joseph the Dreamer, sharing the stage with Sam Concepcion and Gary Valenciano. The experience reignited his connection to musical theater, and when the opportunity came to audition for A Chorus Line, Ken committed fully. Understanding the demands of a true Broadway musical, he trained rigorously in jazz and ballet, sharpening both technique and stamina to meet the show’s exacting standards.

A Chorus Line is widely regarded as one of the most important musicals in theater history. First premiering on Broadway in 1975, it transformed musical storytelling by placing dancers, their insecurities, sacrifices, and personal histories, at the center of the narrative. Minimalist yet famously demanding, the show requires performers who can sing, act, and dance at the highest level while sustaining emotional honesty throughout.

The Manila production is especially significant, bringing together local and international theater talent under world-class creative leadership. Joining the cast is Filipino-American actor Conrad Ricamora, best known for his role as Oliver Hampton on How to Get Away with Murder. A Tony-nominated stage actor, Ricamora has appeared in major Broadway and Off-Broadway productions including Here Lies Love, The King and I, and Little Shop of Horrors, adding global theater pedigree to the ensemble.

For Ken, portraying Mark Anthony feels both like a breakthrough and a homecoming. The role calls for a performer who can combine technical excellence with natural charm and emotional openness, qualities that align closely with Ken’s background as a dancer and his growing maturity as an artist.

While this moment signals a possible new era, one that expands his range beyond what mainstream audiences have come to expect, his roots remain firmly grounded in dance and the community that shaped him. That connection, he shares, will always be part of who he is.

Beyond the stage, there is more to anticipate. Ken is set to release new music under Diorama, offering audiences yet another side of his artistry. With A Chorus Line, upcoming music, and continued presence across platforms, this season marks a pivotal point in his evolution as a multi-hyphenate performer.

In many ways, A Chorus Line is not just another role, it is a statement. And for Ken San Jose, stepping into Mark Anthony is both a return to his roots and a confident step forward.

A Chorus Line by Theater Group Asia runs all Thursdays to Sundays from March 12, 2026 - March 29, 2026.

ABS-CBN Launches Newest Primetime Series "Sigabo" with Coco Martin and Julia Montes

Primetime King Coco Martin made back-to-back major announcements - he will star alongside Julia Montes in ABS-CBN’s newest primetime teleserye “Sigabo,” and the Philippines' most watched teleserye since 2023, “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” enters its final three weeks.

While Coco closes a remarkable era with “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” Filipinos can continue to watch him every night in “Sigabo,” his new teleserye with Julia Montes beginning March 16 (Monday).

“Sigabo” promises a mix of action, comedy, and romance that families will surely enjoy.

“Naghihintay ako ng right project para sa pagsasama namin ni Julia. Si Juls ngayon, pukpukan ang training. Nag-aaral siya ngayon ng sa baril, ng fight, sa motor. Inakma namin ‘yung kwento na talagang fit para sa amin, sa estado namin ngayon. First time namin magla-light. Pasasayahin naman natin ‘yung mga tahanan gabi-gabi,” Coco announced on “TV Patrol” today (February 20).

He also teased what viewers can expect and said, “Halos lahat ng mga kasama namin mga comedian. Tapos episodic siya, iba-ibang kwento, iba-ibang mission. Para iba-ibang experience every week.”

As Coco prepares for “Sigabo,” he also looked back at his memorable “Batang Quiapo” journey where he shared that it was a difficult decision for him to bid goodbye to a teleserye that is beloved by many Filipinos.

“Nung ginalaw ko na ‘yung kwento, ginalaw ko na ‘yung mga character, naramdaman kong parang hanggang dito na lang ‘yung takbo ng buhay ni Tanggol sa Quiapo. Ang hirap lumabas sa bibig, ang hirap tanggapin din na matatapos na,” he shared.

Coco also expressed his heartfelt appreciation and invited Filipinos to join Tanggol in his final battle as “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” ramps up its action-packed episodes for its explosive “Ang Huling Laban ni Tanggol” finale.

“Salamat po sa tatlong taong pagsuporta at pagmamahal ninyo sa ‘Batang Quiapo.’ Nagiging emotional ako kasi hirap na hirap talaga kami. Sobrang hirap talaga ng paggawa ng ‘Batang Quiapo.’ Hindi lang ang pagbuo, kundi ‘yung pag-arte. All aspects of the crew, directors, at production,” he shared.

“Sana po samahan niyo kami, pinapangako po namin sa inyo na sa loob ng tatlong taon, itong tatlong linggong ito ay isa ito sa hindi niyo malilimutang teleserye na mapapanood ninyo gabi-gabi,” he said.

“FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” made a mark in the hearts of Filipinos all over the country who religiously watched the series on multiple broadcast and online platforms, where viewers also followed the story of Tanggol when the series’ launched on ALLTV2 last January.

It has also flooded social media with its viral scenes and iconic lines, and it has also broken its own online viewership record multiple times - breaching an all-time high record of over one million concurrent viewers on YouTube.

To watch “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” on Kapamilya Channel sa ALLTV2, turn on your digital black box, press the scan button on the remote control, and look for ALLTV2.

Join Tanggol for his final battle in the last three weeks of “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” and catch the pilot episode of “Sigabo” starring Coco and Julia this March 16.
