Darren Espanto covers "Top of the World" for Lyle, Lyle Crocodile

Columbia Pictures has just unveiled the video of Asia’s Pop Heartthrob Darren Espanto covering Shawn Mendes' Top of the World from Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. The video is a collaboration with UMUSIC PH to celebrate the release of the movie and the original motion picture soundtrack featuring Shawn Mendes.

Top of the World is one of the original songs from the musical comedy with Mendes as the singing voice of Lyle, the croc with a heart of gold.

Espanto said he “had so much fun” shooting the video and invited fans to sing along, and go on top of the world too.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is now showing in cinemas across the Philippines.

Check out the video below and avail of the original motion picture soundtrack now, also featuring the track “Heartbeat.”

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a live-action / CGI musical comedy that brings this beloved character to a new, global audience.

When the Primm family (Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Winslow Fegley) moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle - a singing crocodile (Shawn Mendes) living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle’s existence is threatened, the Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile features original songs performed by Shawn Mendes and written by the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul.

Lyle’s solo ballad, Top of the World, was written by Pasek, Paul and Joriah Kwamé. In the scene where the song was featured, Lyle shows Josh the wonders of New York City. “Even though Lyle has to sneak out in the middle of the night, because the world is afraid of him, he finds refuge on the top of a theater,” says Paul.

Suddenly, with Josh, Lyle has someone to experience everything that magical city has to offer – including how to eat at the best restaurants in New York for free (a trick taught to him by Hector P. Valenti). “He’s just taught Josh how to dumpster dive, they’re walking through the city, and music pours up through the grate from a Broadway show downstairs,” says Pasek. “It’s Lyle’s favorite song, and he can’t wait to share it with Josh and celebrate this moment of finding someone to share his life with.”

“There is a certain magic and comfort to nightlife in New York City, especially as an artist,” says Kwamé. “It was an absolute treat to put ourselves in the mind and heart of Lyle, who at this moment on that Broadway theater roof, knows that he belongs. I hope the song gives hope to people worldwide who are still looking for that safe space,” he concludes.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Living healthier while on the go; APL GO raises the bar on food supplements

“Health is wealth” is a cliché that has been around for decades. With the emergence of sicknesses and unexpected health concerns due to the pandemic, the direct correlation between the two has never been more emphasized than now. First, a healthy body enables people to live their lives to the fullest – giving them the energy to pursue their goals, dreams, and spend time with their loved ones. Second, it shields them from financial ruin by paying hefty medical bills and other potential hospital expenses.

Although these points are widely known, there is still a lot to discuss when it comes to what it really means to have a healthy body and achieve optimal well-being.

Go-to partner for a healthier lifestyle

With people bouncing back from laying low to being on-the-go to do what they need to do, self-care, wellness, active lifestyle, and healthy diet have all become part of the top priorities to keep them energized, fit, conditioned, and most importantly protected from possible illnesses and conditions.

But with so many things going on – balancing a job, training for an exam, watching the kids, traveling and so on – the challenges of keeping up while staying healthy are not an easy feat.

APL GO, a global multi level networking company that specializes in health and wellness knows this for a fact as it introduces its “Life on the Go” campaign which aims to empower and equip Filipinos to make healthier lifestyle choices and change their lives for the better.

Over the past 8 years, APL GO has been successfully manufacturing and distributing its unique lozenge drops across North America, Europe, and Central Asia. The demand and success of food supplements led the company to market in the Philippines as it continues with its mission to become the game changer in the nutraceutical space and meet the evolving needs of the consumers to help them achieve their goals by becoming healthy and productive individuals.

Delicious candy-like lozenge drops

An individual’s body needs proper care to be able to function at its best throughout the day. Aside from nutrition, regular exercise, and enough sleep, it also needs support which can come in different forms – positive reinforcement, a healthy environment, and a stable support system. These are just some of the things that the body needs to thrive, but with the fast-paced demand of today’s world, an additional boost to stay healthy and protected– in a quick, easy and convenient way is a much-needed necessity.

“APL GO’s lozenges are unique candy-like food supplements made from whole food, natural fruits, berries, and plants. They are designed to support a healthy diet and exercise while delivering fast acting phytonutrients to the cells of the body – from supporting natural immune response vitality, stamina and strength, digestive processes, and so much more,” said Kauri Thompson, General Manager of APL GO International.

The innovative drops are made from the company’s revolutionary Acumullit SA technology which conserves essential nutrients and properties of the natural ingredients and botanical particles – making them absorbable like candies. Moreover, the components are processed under a turbulent airflow of negatively charged particles. As a result, the components get additional energy and the most biologically active substances which are released from the plants.

“Whatever age or lifestyle, our plant-based all natural lozenge drops are safe to consume with no risk of overdose," said Bryan Plazo, Vice President, Business Development, APL GO Philippines.” With people becoming more and more active and on-the-go, APL GO aims to be the go-to partner to help them reach their personal goals, support them in their health and wellness activities, and overall help them achieve optimal health and well-being,” he added.

APL GO carries over 15 different all-natural lozenge drops which are highly concentrated with over 80 superfoods and 1000 phytonutrients. From the convenience of easy consumption up to giving the body exactly what it needs, APL GO is the on-the-go partner, caring for your health and wellness goals -- keeping you on the move and living your life on the go.

LG Multi Split offers multiple ways to manage multiple spaces

For Filipinos, one of the biggest factors that people consider before making a big investment is flexibility. Before allocating capital, research must be done exhaustively in order to ensure that what you’re buying gives the most bang for your buck. This holds true for something small such as electronics and appliances, to bigger purchases such as cars and houses. HVAC systems are also put under the same buyer scrutiny. Before committing to a system, whether for residential or commercial use, you have to go beyond just comfort and look at it as a whole.

The LG Multi Split provides this versatility and flexibility. This revolutionary system delivers the functionality, flexibility and performance that can transform your home or office. The system ensures optimum cooling and air management no matter how big or small the space. With the ability to connect to up to 5 indoor units, the Multi Split gives system designers freedom and flexibility. LG offers a wide range of indoor units that are stylish and space-saving, so they don’t detract from the interior of a home or office. Whether you need wall-mounted indoor units, units installed in the ceiling, or even a ducted solution, LG indoor unit designs can fit perfectly with any building. Operating multiple indoor units allows individual monitoring and control of units in multiple rooms. Every building has its own unique structure and needs and the Multi Split can meet the needs of multiple spaces simultaneously. With the addition of a Distribution (DB) Box, a single outdoor unit can support up to 9 indoor units.

The LG Multi Split brings the comfort, flexibility and efficiency to revolutionize your space all in a uniquely compact unit. The compact outdoor unit is 546mm smaller from top to bottom and 23% lighter, which makes the installation process much easier and more flexible as well. The smaller form factor unit also frees up space outdoors and doesn’t clutter your yard or the premises of an office.

Behind the LG Multi Split is the powerful R1 Compressor. Its shaft-through design ensures highly stable operation even during low-load conditions and further boosts operating efficiency. This structure improves the durability of the compressor itself while, in addition, the enhanced Black Fin corrosion-resistant coating lengthens the life of the Multi Split. High SEER and SCOP class ratings from the Multi Split demonstrate its outstanding performance thanks to the R1 compressor. Advanced peak current control also reduces energy consumption and operation costs. Along with this high-efficiency performance comes advanced temperature and humidity sensor technology that reduces cooling times by 33% and heating times by 45%. Embedded PM1.0 sensors also ensure improved air purification for a more healthy and more comfortable environment.

The unique R1 Compressor shaft-through design boosts efficiency and durability

The Multi Split also takes advantage of LG’s useful and intuitive ThinQ app. While connected via Wi-Fi to LG ThinQ, users can control and monitor their system from anywhere at any time. You can conveniently access the app on your mobile device to stay on top of system performance and operation. In addition, LGMV (Monitoring View) connectivity makes it possible for installers or service engineers to monitor and diagnose any issues with the system with cycle monitoring and smart troubleshooting available all within the app.

Multi Split smart connectivity enhances convenience and performance

To make the most of your home or workspace, the right HVAC system makes all the difference. The LG Multi Split brings the comfort, flexibility and efficiency to revolutionize your space all in a uniquely compact unit. The versatility and performance of the Multi Split make it the perfect fit for a wide range of environments.

Shawn Mendes lends voice for Lyle, Lyle Crocodile

Shawn Mendes, superstar recording artist and Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, brings Lyle, the singing crocodile to vocal life, in Columbia Pictures’ new musical comedy Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (in Philippine cinemas October 12).

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a live-action / CGI musical comedy that brings this beloved character to a new, global audience.

Mendes describes Lyle as a character driven by love. “He just wants to have a family, a home, and feel connected to people,” says Mendes, “and love is the reason I sing, too – I sing when I feel comfortable, when I feel accepted. I relate to him a lot.”

“Hearing your own voice come out of an animated character is such a weird experience,” Mendes continues. “It can be a bit of an out-of-body experience to hear your voice coming out of a crocodile, he adds, but what he wasn’t expecting was how much the animators would capture of Mendes himself. “While I was singing in the studio, the animators were filming my facial expressions, and then animating Lyle to make similar facial expressions that I was making.”

The film features original songs performed by Shawn Mendes, Javier Bardem, and Constance Wu, written by the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

For Mendes, singing the work of Pasek and Paul brought to the fore the way that gifted songwriters can make the songs of a musical work a dual purpose, building on each other as part of a cohesive whole and also providing a discrete, joyful experience. “When you watch one of their movies or shows, you’re digesting the entire thing at once, and you may not realize just how smart they are,” says Mendes. “You don’t realize how complex and how beautiful these songs are, how lyrically astonishing they are, and how much effort they put into them. But when you’re in the recording studio, going through the songs, it’s an eye-opening experience,” he concludes.
