Cat Moms and Dads are in for a flurry of fun feline activities as the Society of Feline Enthusiasts of the Philippines, Inc. (SFEPI) and the World Cat Federation (WCF) present The Philippines’ First World Cat Show on June 14 to 15 (2-day event) at the 5th Floor of One Ayala Mall. This event is free to the public and is co-presented by Hard Rock Cafe Manila.
The WCF World Cat Show is a prestigious competition that celebrates the ‘best’ and most beautiful cats from various breeds, representing the pinnacle of feline breeding and care. They will be judged on their physical attributes, grooming, and overall presence. With sleek coats, striking eyes, and elegant postures, these cats are a testament to the dedication and passion of their owners and breeders.
This landmark of an event is set to gather cat enthusiasts from around the globe to witness a spectacular showcase of feline beauty, talent, and excellence and is expected to attract around 150 to 200 cats from over 15 countries, showcasing a diverse array of feline breeds and fostering international camaraderie among cat enthusiasts. This global representation underscores the event’s prestige and the Philippines’ growing prominence in the international cat community.
During the event, the cats will participate in a series of competitions within the WCF Ring, where they will be judged on various criteria including beauty, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. The WCF Ring is a specialized judging area where the most outstanding cats compete for top honors. These competitions not only highlight the physical beauty of the cats but also showcase their unique talents and behaviors, making for an engaging and entertaining spectacle.
Key features of the event are the “Best of Best” (top cat in each category) and “Best General” (overall champion) awards. These coveted titles represent the highest accolades a cat can receive in the competition, signifying their exemplary qualities and superior standards.
Winners will receive trophies, certificate titles, cat supplies from generous donors and brand sponsors, and special prizes for various categories such as Best Kitten, Best Junior, Best Adult, and Best Neuter Category. These awards not only honor the cats but also recognize the hard work and dedication of their owners and breeders.
Hard Rock Cafe Manila- a staunch supporter and advocate
The event is co-presented by Hard Rock Cafe Manila, which was also a sponsor for the Cebu leg of International Cat Show held in Mandaue City. Hard Rock Cafe is a strong advocate for the welfare of stray animals in the country. Its dynamic partnership with SFEPI has a “purr-pose” as a portion of event proceeds are donated to the animals under the care of Island Rescue Organization (IRO) in Mandaue City, which is committed to re-homing animals into loving families and to finding innovative ways to promote long-term solutions to lessen the population of stray dogs and cats. Recently, Hard Rock Cafe Manila and Hard Rock Cafe Makati also donated P40,000 to IRO in line with the cafe’s Hearts and Tails Campaign.
Hard Rock Cafe Philippines Director of Operations Mr. Brian Peck says, “We are very supportive of organizations that keep these animals safe and protected. This is one of our programs under our company values that are incorporated into our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. Social purpose is at the core of Hard Rock Cafe’s values that are guided by the four founding mottos: Love All Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet and Take Time To Be Kind. We hope to see more cat lovers come together at the WCF World Show event.”

Every LGBTQIA+ person’s journey of self-discovery is unique, filled with vibrant moments and sometimes, tough challenges. In celebration of Pride Month, Google Philippines hosted an insightful discussion featuring inspiring LGBTQIA+ YouTube creators Roanne Carreon, Joshua Cruz, Jan Angelo Ong, and Yani Villarosa.
The event, hosted by the multi-faceted creative and comedian Baus Rufo, highlighted the inspiring importance of self-discovery, building safe spaces, and finding your voice online of LGBTQIA+ YouTube creators Roanne Carreon, Joshua Cruz, Jan Angelo Ong, and Yani Villarosa.
“Finding your queer identity is a never-ending process. Even if you’re out and seem like you have it all figured out, you’re still building that equation for your truth, and your authenticity. That’s why communities and representation matter because you need them to constantly be shown that these are the many possibilities that you have access to [as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community],” Baus Rufo said.
Finding Your Truth: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Building Safe Spaces
Coming out and embracing your sexual orientation and gender identity can be a rollercoaster ride for many LGBTQIA+ individuals. It’s a personal process, and there’s no pressure to have it all figured out right away. With the rise of platforms like YouTube, it’s now easier to find content that showcases different facets of LGBTQIA+ lives and their experiences in discovering their identity offering valuable insights and a sense of belonging.
“No one is pressuring you to come out, only do it when you’re ready. If you’re still figuring things out, you can Google resources to educate yourself and also find YouTube creators that resonate with your queer journey,” Joshua Cruz said. The lifestyle creator also admitted that they didn’t need to come out because of their supportive family. Joshua is paying it forward by being supportive of their viewers’ LGBTQIA+ journey, encouraging them to express themselves freely.
Yani Villarosa said it’s also important for influential creators like herself to remind her social media followers to slow down. “Social media can be so fast-paced that people feel the need to broadcast everything. When they see others coming out, they might feel that they have to match their pace. It’s really important to tell them to slow down, especially if they look up to you.”
Despite the belief that the Philippines welcomes LGBTQIA+ members , many queer Filipinos struggle to express their true selves out of fear of discrimination and prejudice from loved ones. The lack of support could also make it hard to explore their sexuality and gender identity, which is why they turn to LGBTQIA+ creators and communities where they can meet like-minded people with similar experiences.
For Roanne Carreon, who is one-half of YouTube channel Roanne and Tina and co-founder of Queer Safe Spaces (QSS), it’s about providing support and representation, especially to young LGBTQIA+ members. “Growing up, we didn’t have role models, representation, and resources to educate people about LGBTQIA+ members. That’s why we do what we do: We wanted to create a community that can become a support system for members, especially if they’re still navigating their sexuality. It started out small, and now, we’re over 17,000 strong and we formalized QSS as a nonprofit organization,” she said.
Roanne added that being authentic and vulnerable is crucial to build relatability with their audience. This is why she and her partner Tina Boado showcase the good and ugly of their relationship in order to normalize what a regular day looks like for a WLW (women-loving-women) couple. “Our channel is a mix of fun things we do as a couple and educational content. We also talk about our mental health struggles in our videos.”
Yani is also candid about showing the “messy” sides of being a bisexual woman, who initially wasn’t accepted by her family when she came out in senior high school. “I created a safe space, not only for myself, but also for my listeners by being vulnerable about my experiences as a queer woman. I’ve shown that you’re allowed to be confused and messy, and people realize that it’s all normal. They managed to find a community that helped them realize that they’re not alone in their struggle.”
This goes to show YouTube’s impact in helping LGBTQIA+ people in navigating their self-discovery, and also show them that they can achieve so much if they live their most authentic selves. “YouTube is that vehicle that allows for a safe space to let people dream,” Jan Angelo Ong said.
Allyship and kindness go a long way for LGBTQIA+
Rec•Create founder Allison Barretto, who is one of Jan’s closest allies, believes that being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ isn’t a difficult task. “It’s so easy to love people from the community and accept them as human. You just have to be a decent human being,” she said. “Start small, recognize your privilege, step up and show up for your LGBTQIA+ friends.”
Icoy Rapadas, who is Roanne and Tina’s ally, echoed the sentiment of being kind to others. He also acknowledged the privilege of being a cisgender heterosexual man, admitting that he had to unlearn many things and educated himself to become a good ally. “I want to make sure that LGBTQIA+ people are comfortable around me, and to inform my straight friends that it’s not okay to say certain things about LGBTQIA+ people,” he said.
The LGBTQIA+ community needs allies who will celebrate their identity and lend a helping hand, even in the smallest ways, when they’re struggling. Whether they’re family, friends, or a colleague, they are the people who can help LGBTQIA+ people live happily and confidently.
“You don’t have to go the extra mile to help LGBTQIA+ members, but it wouldn’t kill anyone to be informed,” said Bryan Larosa, Joshua’s best friend and ally. “Learn how to respect each and every one regardless of their gender and preference. I think that’s the most you can do.”
Humanity is at the brink of destruction, and the cure might entail the ultimate cost. Love You as the World Ends follows a group of survivors fighting for their lives and their loved ones as the Golem virus turns the majority of the human race into rabid zombies.
Hotta Mayu plays the role of Aoi, a nurse stationed at the top of Utopia, a refuge for survivors. The research team tasked to find the cure made their base of operations on the top levels, and Aoi is a witness to the horrible atrocities the scientists committed in desperate search for the cure. Her main task is to care for Mirai, deemed the “Miracle Child,” as she is suspected to contain the cure for the Golem virus ravaging humanity. Mirai is the child of the lead character Hibiki, who is on a mission to save her from her fate, at the cost of ending the apocalyptic outbreak. His partner, Kurumi, was infected and consumed by the Golem virus, but managed to give birth to Mirai before succumbing. This has led the researchers to believe that Mirai might have the right antibodies to fight off the deadly virus. Aoi is being pursued by Yamato, who is desperately climbing up Utopia to reach the girl he loves.
An exclusive model for “Non-no” magazine, Hotta Mayu started out in drama series. She’s known for her roles in manga film adaptations such as Ikumatsu in Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning, and Serina Kanno in the film adaptation of Honey Lemon Soda. Hotta won Best Newcomer in the 4th Yokohama film festival for her role in Tsugaru Lacquer Girl, and is the 48th Elan d’or Awards’ Newcomer of the Year.
Watch them try to survive long enough to reunite with their loved ones as Love You as the World Ends opens in PH cinemas on June 12, an Encore Films film distributed by Warner Bros.

Happy Pride Month! This happy and colorful month of June, Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusively brings “Glitter & Doom,” a unique and captivating film, at their theaters. This exclusive event underscores Ayala Malls Cinemas’ commitment to offering moviegoers distinctive and high-quality cinematic experiences.
Alan Cammish and Alex Diaz in “Glitter & Doom”
The film, whose cast includes Ming-Na Wen, Tig Notaro, Missi Pyle and Alan Cammish, proudly counts as one of its stars Filipino actor Alex Diaz. “I’m very happy to have ‘Glitter and Doom’ come to the Philippines exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas just in time for Pride Month,” says Diaz, whose local entertainment credits include appearances in “Ero” and “Ero: The Series,” “Oh, Mando!” and fan favorite movies “Just the Way You Are” and “She’s Dating the Gangster.” “This movie is just such a feel good film with a beautiful soundtrack and stellar cast. The process from landing the role a few years ago to now being able to share it with my kababayans has been the journey of a lifetime.
“I hope when people watch this, they feel proud, I hope they feel seen and most of all, I hope they have fun! It’s a fun movie and the music is really catchy!”
In “Glitter & Doom,” serious musician Doom (Cammish) and free-spirited circus kid Glitter (Diaz) start a budding summer relationship filled with camping trips, late-night conversations, and plenty of song and dance. Their relationship is put to the test as they deal with trying to make it in the music biz, their mothers (Ming-Na Wen and Missi Pyle), and finding what feeds each of their souls and dreams. The supporting cast boasts queer talent that includes Tig Notaro (“Army of the Dead”), Lea DeLaria (“Orange is the New Black”), “Drag Race” alum Peppermint and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers.
The movie, billed as a “fantastical queer romance,” features 25 songs by the Indigo Girls, including “Power of Two,” a staple in high school playlists back in the ’90s, and “Closer to Fine,” which had a recent resurgence in popularity thanks to an iconic character singing the song during a road trip in last year’s “Barbie.” The Grammy-winning duo composed a new original song for the film as well, titled “What We Wanna Be.”
The Indigo Girls is a folk rock duo composed of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. Said Saliers in an exclusive interview with Variety, “We immediately loved the script for ‘Glitter & Doom’ and became even more enamored as we watched the film grow and heard the production and arrangements of our songs,” said Saliers. “It’s an honor to be included in this artful and heartfelt story of misfits finding love.”
In the same interview, Ray said that “What We Wanna Be” was “inspired by the film’s characters and by my own experience of peeling off the layers of things I have built over the years to shield me from pain or even my own truth.”
