He won’t sit or stay, but trust that he’ll save you any day. Kevin Hart is the voice of Ace in Warner Bros. Pictures’ animated action adventure “DC League of Super-Pets.”
In the film, Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack—Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel—to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the Super Heroes.
The leader of the shelter pack, ACE is a sarcastic hound who’s spent most of his life in a Metropolis animal shelter planning his escape. Strong and seemingly invulnerable, he employs a tough guy attitude that masks his soft underbelly. Ace may act like he’s fine flying solo, but he’ll join the others in battle if it means not only saving the Justice League but getting Krypto to lead them all to greener pastures.

Internationally recognized theater and film director Anton Juan has transformed the classic play of celebrated playwright Bienvenido Noriega, Jr. into a refreshing new musical billed as Bayan Bayanan. This will be staged at the CCP Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo on July 15, 16, 2022 (7pm shows) and July 17, 2022 (matinee).
The play portrays the heart-warming and, sometimes, heartbreaking stories of Filipinos trying to carve a better life for themselves abroad.
Making up the cast are well-known theater actors as well as first-time stage performers. Professional theater actress and singer Banaue Miclat-Janssen portrays the central character, “Manang.” Banaue has performed in various spaces and films in the Philippines and abroad. She is an Aliw Awards Foundation Hall of Fame for Best Performer awardee.
Ava Olivia Santos, a singer, recording artist, and an actor in theater, film and television, portrays a Filipino nurse, struggling to carve a better life for herself abroad, seeking a fairy tale love.
Noriega wrote himself into the story as Dino, a scholar sent to study abroad on an international scholarship, much as Boy Noriega was, when he was inspired to write the play. Dino is portrayed by theater actor and classically trained singer Carlo Mañalac, who is remembered for having played several roles in different presentations of “Kanser,” a theatrical adaptation of Rizal’s “Noli Me Tangere.”
Roxy Aldiosa, a soprano who is both a theater actress and musical director, teams up with tenor Carlo Angelo Falcis, who is a singer, actor, and voice coach, to portray a comically annoying couple, status seekers who believe that any life abroad, even hardship posts, are better than life in the Philippines. Jacinta Remulla, who is known for her acting in “Suntok sa Buwan,” has been cast as the couple’s sultry and flirtatious niece, “Connie.”
Richard Macaroyo is Pol, the TNT, the illegal migrant, luckless in so many ways. Greg de Leon, who portrayed “Elias” in Noli Me Tangere: The Opera, is the perennially homesick Ginoong Luz, whose loneliness can only be lifted by the melodious singing of his wife. Opera singer Jane Wee is Ginang Luz.
Completing the Bayan Bayanan cast are Christine Angelica Evangelista, Carlo Mañalac, Timothy Carlo Racho, Kendrick Tamayo, Abigail Sulit, Jane Florence Wee, Matteo Teehankee, Karina Macaspac, and Adrian de Ubago. All with golden voices, and engaging acting talents. Watch the show and be moved by their refreshing performances.
“I have directed this play many times before in Europe, and each time there is always something new. It grows like a pearl, takes shape in the memory and hearts of those who perform it and those who watch it: why? Because it is real. It is grounded on real characters we can identify with, in all their beauty and vulnerability, in all their strengths and their weaknesses,” says Anton Juan.
“BUT ALWAYS we are grounded in that HOPING, in that FAITH — by which the Filipino nation is known for. There may be floods, martial laws, oppressions, interventions, and schisms in our history. But we always remember two things: 1. To laugh at ourselves and forgive – be it ourselves, others, or nature (sometimes to a fault, those who are greedy and malevolent to us and our people); and, 2. To pray, and to hope and have faith — without which there is no salvation.”
“I dedicate my direction of this play to all the migrant workers and migrant friends who “homed” me, “nationed” me in my times of study and work abroad, who “cradled” me as they cradled each other in times of crisis and personal rollercoaster times of highs and lows; to the entire cast and the production for taking special time to share their talent and their esteemed careers, countless dearest friends who helped, and our audiences — who are ALL part of the play because this play is about them, us, a nation outside their country.”
Through their participation in and sponsorship of multiple Pride Month parades and in-person and virtual events and activities to foster an inclusive workplace culture, TIP has demonstrated its long standing support for the LGBTQIA+ community since the company’s inception in 2005. This year, one of TIP’s Pride events was dedicated to self-expression, enabling the community to celebrate their authentic selves through a Design Your Own Pride Jacket activity and fashion show.
Celebrating Pride Month in 2022 through Fashion and Personal Expression
“Coming together to celebrate Pride Month has become an annual tradition for TELUS International Philippines. This year, one of the ways we wanted to share our fun and diverse culture is through a highly engaging event that’s focused on expressing oneself through fashion and finding pride in one’s style,” said Warren Tait, Global Vice President of Brand, Marketing, Culture and Facilities at TELUS International.
With the Design Your Own Pride Jacket activity, attendees had an opportunity to express their most authentic selves freely by creating art out of a jacket. Each was provided with a denim jacket along with design materials, such as Pride-themed clothing patches, pins, and buttons.
In collaboration with SoFA Design Institute, a proud partner of TIP in providing opportunities for further education via the TELUS International University, design instructor and respected fashion designer, Fred Telarma, led the activity and shared his insights on self-expression and fashion design. He also delivered a live demo for designing your own Pride denim jacket, allowing attendees to learn design techniques.
“Pride Month to me is about expressing and celebrating your authentic self in any way you want. And I believe that fashion can be a powerful tool for self-expression. Fashion is performance art, which allows us to produce clothing that speaks and walks with a message—conveying a story at every turn,” shared Fred Telarma, Design Instructor at SoFA Design Institute.
As part of sharing TIP’s fun culture, attendees showcased their personalized jackets in a fashion show as if they were walking down the runway.
Empowering LGBTQIA+ Members in the Workplace
“At TELUS International Philippines, we are committed to building a caring company culture that champions diversity, inclusion, and belonging, ensuring all our team members feel supported and valued. Since 2014, our team member resource group, Spectrum Philippines, has provided our team members from the LGBTQIA+ community a platform for making the workplace culture more accepting, and the benefits and facilities more inclusive,” said Tait.
Spectrum Philippines has become a venue for a healthy exchange of ideas and open conversations that enables TIP team members to share their experiences in a safe and comfortable environment.It continues to embrace diversity programs and guarantees that the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community are considered and represented in workplace programs.
Aside from being an active member of organizations like the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) and participating industry activities that support the LGBTQIA+ community, TELUS International Philippines and Spectrum have celebrated Pride Month in the past by hosting a series of learning sessions and developing initiatives with a focus on SOGIE, HIV awareness, and the struggles of being an LGBTQIA+ individual in the Philippines.
“During the height of the pandemic, TIP and Spectrum were able to organize transition our activities to a virtual setup – hosting everything from virtual binge-watching parties of movies, TV shows, and concerts that celebrate Pride, to having a soju and SOGIE 101 virtual activity,” shared Bogs Orial, Spectrum Philippines Officer and TIP team member. “With the lifting of pandemic restrictions, our team members are now trying to rediscover and reassert their identity and personal styles.”
“TIP and Spectrum have always strived to encourage members of the LGBTQIA+ community to feel confident in themselves. We create safe spaces which amplify the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community members in society, ensuring all their concerns and unique needs are addressed. We also support them by providing a multitude of opportunities for expressing their true selves and pursuing their passions, including our year long diversity and inclusion programs,” explained Shey Cruz, TELUS International Philippines team member and Spectrum co-chair.
Spectrum has been a prominent influence of positive change in the workplace, championing team member support systems like, the extension of HMO coverage to dependents, domestic partners, and same-sex partners of team members, the availability of gender-neutral, self-identified male and female washrooms across all sites, the use of preferred first names and pronouns in company communication and events, and non-binary clothing policies.
“As a proud trans woman, I really appreciate how I can freely express my identity at work. Whether it’s respecting my preferred name and pronouns, not limiting our fashion choices to the traditional clothing for those born male or female, and providing education about respect, diversity and inclusion for leaders and team members alike, I know I can come to work as my genuine self at TELUS International Philippines”, shared Cruz.
“TELUS International Philippines team members’ day-to-day experiences have vastly improved because of the small but consistent changes and the current initiatives focused on diversity and inclusion—enabling a safe, open and accepting work environment. We are also very proud of the large ally community in our office, who continually support and espouse equal rights together with our LGBTQIA+ team members,” said Tait.
At TELUS International Philippines, the celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community continues beyond the month of June and is lived in the company’s culture. The company is hosting multiple activities to celebrate Pride including the second run of their Ready, Set, Drag intersite contest, a fundraising activity to support the Love Yourself Foundation, and Ted Talks style sessions about LGBTQIA+ excellence and leadership.

There’s no denying that Illumination’s Minions have become denim-clad cultural icons. Whether rolling a Tyrannosaurus rex into a volcano, or teaming up with their favorite super villain, Gru, the iconic mayhem-makers from the highest-grossing global animated film franchise of all time know how to make even being despicable joyful. And, thanks to that, they’ve worked their way into the hearts of millions of fans all over the world. To celebrate their incredible popularity, as well as the release of Illumination’s new film, Minions: The Rise of Gru (only in theaters June 29), Levi’s® —another beloved cultural icon—and the Minions have teamed up for a special collaboration.
Set in the 1970s, Minions: The Rise of Gru tells the origin story of how the world’s greatest supervillain first met his iconic Minions, forged cinema’s most despicable crew and faced off against the most unstoppable criminal force ever assembled.
In that spirit, available at select Levi’s® Tailor Shops, the collaboration features an array of original Minions artwork inspired by styles of the ’70s and ’80s that fans can use to customize jeans and Truckers. Each graphic comes courtesy of the talented team at Illumination, the masterminds behind the Minions, who know how to have some irreverent fun. Just like Levi’s®. It’s a way to add a delightful twist to your favorite Levi’s® pieces. Graphics include Minions engaging in a range of mischievous activities, as well as phrases like, “I Did My Best,” “Ba Na Na” and “100% Evil.
“As any follower of the Minions movies will know, they’re fun, irreverent, and truly iconic. Just like Levi’s®, they’re both instantly recognizable and beloved all over the world. So the idea behind the collaboration was to bring these two icons together for a bit of mischievous fun. What better way to customize your Levi’s® jeans than with a bit of Minions-style creative chaos.”— Karen Riley-Grant, Levi’s® Chief Marketing Officer.
“The Minions are relatable to audiences of all ages around the globe, and we’ve been delighted to see how fans have embraced them as means of self-expression. We hope the Minions continue to be a retort to the real world’s challenges and are proud to join Levi’s in this creative and joyful collaboration.” – Chris Meledandri, Illumination founder and CEO.
The Levi’s® x Minions: The Rise of Gru customization offering officially launches on June 20, 2022 and will be available at all in-store Levi’s® Tailor Shops: SM Mall of Asia, Robinsons Place Manila, Ayala Manila Bay, The SM Store SM Makati, SM Cebu and Robinsons Place Iloilo.
CCP Arthouse Cinema holds a special screening of National Artist Fernando Poe Jr.’s Alupihang Dagat (1976) to celebrate the 2022 National Heritage Celebration on July 8, 2022 (Friday), 2pm, at the Tanghalang Manuel Conde (CCP Audio-Visual Room).
In Alupihang Dagat, set in a humble fishing village where the men sail out to sea and the women stay behind to dive for sponges, Gomer learns of about the disappearances of seafaring youngsters upon returning from an extended voyage and soon sets out in his tiny skiff to get to the bottom of things.
Eventually, he stumbles upon the island hideout of a band of modern-day pirates who, under the leadership of a female captain named Odessa, are responsible for kidnapping and enslaving many of Gomer’s friends and neighbors.
There will also be a back-to-back screening of Nadjoua Bansil’s Bohe: Sons of the Waves (2012) and Emmanuel Dela Cruz’s Gabon (2007) at 4pm to commemorate the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice).
Gabon tells the story of how far a young Maranao girl takes to heart the promise to her parents that she will finish a school exam. The title comes from an old Maranao folk lullaby which means cloud. Shot in one day in Marawi, Lanao del Sur, just before Ramadan, Gabon features an ensemble cast of grades 2-4 students from the MSU Integrated Laboratory School and the alumni of Sining Kambayoka.
In Bohe: Sons of the Waves, five Badjao boys learn the value of mangroves in Malitam Island, where they escape from the conflicts and constant abuse by pirates and ordinary folks. Through this newfound knowledge, they plan to save their island from sinking due to harsh weather and other man-made causes.
Due to lack of money to buy the seedlings, they decide to steal them from the sanctuary. Little do they know what they are about to lose. Will these seedlings become their tree of hope or will this hope drown their dreams of a stable home? The hope of these young sea gypsies will be the frustration of their elders.
The film puts the spotlight on Sama Palau (commonly known as Badjaos), the second largest sea gypsy community in the world from the Southern parts of the Philippines.
The film screening aims to revisit our artists’ historical works to create consciousness, respect, and love for the legacies of the nation’s cultural history among the Filipino people and learn from these films. This is in collaboration with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Philippine Film Archive, and the Society of Filipino Archivists for Film.
