“ATENG” takes the spotlight: Palanca-winning play by Vincent DeJesus stages at Rampa Drag Club

Produced by RS Francisco and Boy Abunda, the Palanca-winning one-act play “ATENG” by Vincent A. DeJesus is set to take center stage at Rampa Drag Club — where theater meets drag, and storytelling finds new shimmer under the spotlight.

Winner of the Carlos Palanca Memorial Award for Literature (One-Act Play), “ATENG” unfolds in Marikina in 2005, capturing one stormy night inside a small neighborhood beauty parlor — a place where humor, heartbreak, and humanity collide. Without revealing too much, it’s a story that explores the bonds of siblinghood, the weight of survival, and the fierce beauty of queer resilience — told through DeJesus’ signature mix of biting wit and emotional truth.

A powerhouse creative team
Guiding the production is director Rem Zamora, one of the country’s most respected theater makers known for his nuanced direction in works that champion realism and intimacy.

Production and set design are by the multi-awarded tandem Benjamin Padero and Carlo Tabije, whose film credits include Heneral Luna, Serbis, and Midnight in a Perfect World. Together known as Ben&Carlo, they have received honors from the Gawad Urian (Serbis, 2009) and Film Academy of the Philippines (Heneral Luna, 2016), and continue to bring their acclaimed visual storytelling to both stage and screen.

D Cortezano, a veteran technical and lighting designer, shapes the play’s tension through light and movement, while Teresa Barrozo, an acclaimed composer and sound designer celebrated for her cinematic and experimental works (Apocalypse Child, K’na the Dreamweaver, Karnal), heightens the production’s sensory and emotional impact.

Faces that carry fire and heart
The cast features a dynamic mix of celebrated and rising talents. Vincent A. DeJesus, the Palanca-winning playwright, alternates as Kiwi alongside Thou Reyes, a theater and television veteran known for his versatility in both comedy and drama.

 
Vincent DeJesus and Thou Reyes share the role of "Kiwi"

Juicy is brought to life by Jason Barcial and Io Balanon — both noted for their engaging turns in independent theater and queer performance spaces. Meanwhile, Onyx is portrayed by Kokoy De Santos, acclaimed for his breakout role in Gameboys and recent film and streaming projects, and Dyas Adarlo, an emerging actor whose raw energy and range have made him one of the exciting new voices in Philippine theater.

Kokoy De Santos alternates wiht Dyas Adarlo as "Onyx"

Together, the ensemble delivers a charged and emotional performance that reflects the power and pulse of contemporary queer storytelling.

“ATENG” is more than a story of identity — it’s a reclamation of voice and visibility, blending laughter, rage, and tenderness in a night of unforgettable theater.

The bold and unflinching piece by Vincent DeJesus will be staged at Rampa Drag Club every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from November 14 to December 7, 2025.

Tickets are now available via Ticket2Me.

Glen Powell Runs for his life in Edgar Wright’s thrilling adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man

Glen Powell as Ben Richards in The Running Man
Edgar Wright? Check. Glen Powell? Yes, please. Stephen King? Of course! The powerhouse trio behind The Running Man delivers an action-packed, dystopian thrill ride you won’t want to miss when it opens in Philippine cinemas on November 12.

Based on Stephen King’s 1982 novel (originally published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman), The Running Man takes audiences into a near-future society where a deadly game show rules the airwaves. Contestants, known as “Runners,” must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins—all for the entertainment of a bloodthirsty public. Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards, a working-class father forced to join the show to save his sick daughter, turning into an unexpected hero and symbol of defiance against a corrupt system.
Glen Powell as Ben Richards
Wright—known for Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Shaun of the Dead—directs and co-writes this thrilling adaptation. A self-confessed Stephen King fan, Wright has promised a version more faithful to the original novel than the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film. “It’s an expansive movie that was ambitious,” Wright said at New York Comic Con. Even King himself approved, emailing the director: “It’s more faithful to the book to keep the fans happy, but different enough to keep me on my toes and excited.”

For Powell, this marks his first major lead in an action blockbuster. Known for his charisma in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, Powell brings humor, rage, and humanity to Ben Richards. “All of my running technique came straight from Tom Cruise,” he joked, referencing his Top Gun co-star.
Katy O'Brian plays one of the runners in The Running Man
The film also stars Josh Brolin as Dan Killian, the slick and ruthless producer of The Running Man show; Colman Domingo as the show’s flamboyant host; and Lee Pace as the unrelenting lead Hunter, McCone. Michael Cera and William H. Macy make memorable appearances, while Katy O’Brian joins as one of the fierce fellow contestants.
Josh Brolin is Dan Killian in The Running Man
Visually, The Running Man builds a world that feels both futuristic and eerily familiar—a “retro-futuristic” landscape that Wright describes as existing “somewhere between the future and the 1980s.”

With a gripping story, razor-sharp satire, and a dynamic cast, The Running Man reimagines King’s classic for a new generation of thrill-seekers.

Get ready for the hunt to begin when The Running Man hits Philippine cinemas on November 12.

Wicked: For Good Unveils New Character Posters and Official Trailer

The land of Oz is stirring once more. Universal Pictures has unveiled a striking new set of Wicked: For Good character posters alongside its main trailer, giving fans a deeper look at the world, the witches, and the forces that will shape the long-awaited conclusion to the two-part musical epic.

 

The new posters showcase the film’s all-star ensemble, featuring Ariana Grande as Glinda, Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Colman Domingo as the Cowardly Lion, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Bowen Yang as Pfannee, and Bronwyn James as Shenshen. Each character is captured in rich, atmospheric tones that highlight their emotional journeys and shifting alliances, giving us a glimpse of the darkness and destiny that lie ahead.

 
 
 

Elphaba stands tall and defiant, her green skin gleaming under fractured light — no longer hiding, but standing in her truth. Glinda, radiant as ever, looks out over Emerald City, her elegance tempered with uncertainty. The supporting cast brings added dimension to Oz’s tapestry: from the regal authority of Morrible and the imposing presence of the Wizard to the vulnerability of Nessarose and the charm of Fiyero. Even the Cowardly Lion, Boq, Pfannee, and Shenshen hint at the humanity behind the legends we thought we knew.

The new trailer builds on that imagery, teasing high-stakes drama and musical grandeur. We see Elphaba in exile, fighting for the silenced creatures of Oz, and Glinda navigating fame and influence with growing unease. The visuals promise more than spectacle — they reveal a story about friendship tested by power and truth. Tornadoes rise, magic collides, and the witches’ intertwined fates edge toward the iconic finale that bridges directly into The Wizard of Oz.

Director Jon M. Chu describes For Good as the emotional reckoning of the saga: if the first part was about choice, this second chapter is about consequence. Every note, costume, and gesture underscores that theme — that being “good” or “wicked” may depend entirely on who’s telling the story.

The film also teases new musical moments alongside reimagined numbers from the Broadway classic. Erivo’s powerhouse vocals and Grande’s crystalline tone bring new life to the beloved score, promising performances that will linger long after the final curtain.

Wicked: For Good soars into theaters November 19, 2025, completing a cinematic journey more than two decades in the making. The posters and trailer remind us that the magic of Oz isn’t just in the spells or songs — it’s in the courage to be seen, and the power of friendship that endures through every storm.

LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers power a new era of art and heritage conservation at the National Museum of Fine Arts

Featuring advanced humidity control, Dual Inverter Compressor technology, UVnano™ hygiene features, and ultra-quiet operation, LG Dehumidifiers help protect priceless artworks under optimal gallery conditions.
LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Nakhyun Seong with National Museum of the Philippines Director-General Mr. Jeremy Barns, CESO III during the official turnover of the LG PuriCare Dehumidifiers
LG Philippines has reaffirmed its enduring partnership with the National Museum of Fine Arts, donating LG Puricare™ Dehumidifier units as part of a shared commitment to preserving the nation’s cultural treasures. These state-of-the-art units are now in place across key galleries, maintaining ideal climate conditions to safeguard delicate and irreplaceable works of art.

In Spoliarium Hall, masterpieces such as “Spoliarium” (1884), “Josephine Sleeping” (1896), and “El Asesinato del Gobernador Bustamante” (1904) are now better protected against environmental threats—thanks to LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers
 

Museums are far more than spaces for public display—they are controlled environments where even minor fluctuations in temperature or humidity can lead to long-term damage. Excess moisture, in particular, can cause warping, mold growth, and pigment deterioration. That’s where dehumidifiers play a critical role: maintaining stable humidity levels that help ensure the longevity of collections.
In Gallery VIII - Silvina and Juan Laya Hall, sensitive historical works like "Bataan" (1942) and "Rape and Massacre in Ermita" (1947) are preserved under ideal conditions, with LG's support helping to meet rigorous conservation standards
This partnership strengthens the National Museum’s internal climate regulation systems, enhancing its ability to meet the demands of professional art conservation. Each LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifier contributes to long-term protection across the museum’s most vulnerable and valuable spaces.
In Gallery V - Dr. Jose Rizal Hall, the 1923 "Portrait of Dr. Jose Rizal" is maintained in climate-stable conditions, preserving the likeness of the national hero with the help of LG's advanced technology
Designed with both performance and safety in mind, LG’s PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers feature a highly efficient Dual Inverter Compressor, allowing for faster moisture removal and significant energy savings. UVnano™ technology helps maintain a hygienic water tank by inhibiting bacterial growth, while the ultra-quiet 33dB operation ensures that conservation work continues undisturbed. Engineered for ease of use, the units also include ergonomic handles, smooth-glide wheels, continuous drainage options, and smart connectivity via the LG ThinQ™ app for real-time monitoring and remote control—enabling seamless integration into the museum’s day-to-day preservation efforts.
In Gallery IV - Fundacion Santiago Hall, the 1900 piece "Philippine Colonial Tradition of Portraiture" is similarly protected under tightly controlled environmental conditions
“LG is proud to be a partner in preserving the nation’s cultural treasures,” said Mr. Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Philippines. “Through this donation, we’re helping to create the right conditions for protecting priceless artworks. It’s a privilege to support institutions that celebrate Filipino identity and creativity. Life’s Good when history, heritage, and innovation come together.”
In Gallery XIII - Vicente and Carmen Fabella Hall, important works such as “Timbulan ng Laya at Diwang Dakila” (1996), “Sabel” (1966), and two Stations of the Cross from 1960 are conserved in climate-controlled conditions made possible by LG’s technology
At the heart of the National Museum of Fine Arts lies a collection that tells the evolving story of the Filipino people—through resilience, artistry, and national pride. Few works capture this spirit more than Juan Luna’s monumental Spoliarium. To help safeguard this iconic painting and others by National Artists like Fernando Amorsolo, Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, and Benedicto Cabrera, LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers—each capable of removing up to 30 liters of moisture per day—now work silently in the background, defending against the invisible threats of time, decay, and climate.
National Musem of the Philippines Director-General Jeremy R. Barns discusses the importance of climate control and dehumidifiers in preserving artworks like Juan Luna’s “Spoliarium”
“Spoliarium is the most iconic work of art in the Philippines,” said Jeremy R. Barns, Director-General of the National Museum of the Philippines. “When it won the gold medal in Madrid in 1884, it inspired none other than José Rizal himself—and it continues to inspire every generation since. That’s why we must protect it—not just as a piece of history, but as a living symbol of our national identity, for all who come after us.”

He added, “Luna’s journey and triumph in Europe are powerful reminders of our cultural strength. His work, and others like it, reflect our roots, our resilience, and how far we’ve come as a nation.”
In Gallery II – Friends for Cultural Concerns of the Philippines, Inc. Hall, the devotional piece “Via Crucis” (1830) is kept in stable humidity conditions, protected from moisture-related damage by LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers
Preserving these works is not without challenges. The museum battles the effects of the country’s tropical climate daily. “Humidity is one of the biggest threats to our collection,” Director Barns explained. “Fluctuations in temperature can severely damage fragile works—paintings, wood, canvas. That’s why we need environmental control. LG’s dehumidifiers are exactly what we need to fight moisture and ensure these pieces endure.”
Official turnover ceremonies were attended by representatives from both LG Philippines and the National Museum, including: (L-R) Ms. Anne Rosette G. Crelencia, Chief Administrative Officer: Research, Collection, and Conservation Management Division; Mr. Jave Enriquez, LG Philippines ES Product Manager; Mr. Changsoo Jang, LG Philippines ES Product Director; Mr. Nakhyun Seong, LG Philippines Managing Director; Mr. Jeremy R. Barns, Director-General, National Museum of the Philippines; Mr. Andoni M. Aboitiz, Chairman of the Board of Trustees; Atty. Ma. Rosenne M. Flores-Avila, Deputy Director-General for Administration; and Mr. Arvin Manuel R. Villalon, Acting Deputy Director-General for Museums
With cutting-edge humidity control technology now deployed throughout the galleries, the National Museum is better equipped to strengthen its preservation efforts—protecting masterpieces from Spoliarium to Sabel and everything in between.
In Gallery IX – Early 20th Century Philippine Portrait Hall, works like the unfinished “Portrait of Florencia ‘Nena’ Singson Gonzales-Belo” (1972) are kept in optimal condition alongside portraits from 1951 to 1996, supported by LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers
More than a donation, this partnership represents a growing, shared commitment to heritage conservation. As the public continues to rediscover the joys of visiting museums and cultural institutions, the National Museum remains steadfast in its mission—to preserve, educate, and inspire. This same technology that protects priceless art also proves highly useful in everyday environments—offering ideal humidity control for homes, offices, and other spaces where clean air and moisture balance are essential.

“Our partnership with LG continues to grow,” Director Barns concluded. “It began with digital displays that helped us tell stories. Now, it has expanded to include conservation technology that protects these works—so they can be seen and appreciated not only today but for many years to come.”
The LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifier, now standing in the presence of Spoliarium, marks a powerful symbol of innovation supporting heritage

To support the arts is to support the very soul of a nation. Through its meaningful contribution, LG helps ensure that Filipino art, culture, and history are not only preserved—but remain visible, accessible, and alive for generations to come.

Because when art and heritage are protected, Life’s Good.

Life isn’t just about having the latest technology; it’s about the meaningful experiences it creates and the impact it brings to our everyday lives.
