  • Pet Parent Perk: Free pet services, adoption at Robinsons Galleria on July 11

    Pet Parent Perk: Free pet services, adoption at Robinsons Galleria on July 11

    Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) and the Quezon City Veterinary Department are teaming up for a full day of free pet wellness services such as Pet Bakuna, Pet Konsulta, Snip ‘en Snap and fun activities on July 11 at Robinsons Galleria, starting at 10 AM. This special event, dubbed “R Happiest Place for Pets – World Zoonoses Day,” aims to raise awareness about infectious diseases that can spread from animals to humans. QC Vet’s rescued cats and dogs will also be up for adoption. 

    PR PET KONSULTA 2

    Zoonotic diseases, such as rabies, pose risks to both animal and human health. That’s why RLC is leading the change with Pet Bakuna, an anti-rabies vaccination drive. This initiative helps pet parents follow best practices in pet care and ensures their furry companions are protected.

    Pet Konsulta is a veterinary consultation program aimed at providing convenience and accessibility for fur parents. Vet consultation is an important responsibility of every fur parent as it enables them to monitor their pet’s health, prevent possible illnesses and ensure that their fur babies are in good shape. 

    PR PET BAKUNA 2

    Another pet service that can be availed is the spay and neuter operations called Snip ‘en Snap. Spaying and neutering has its long-term health benefits such as preventing the development of reproductive illnesses. Likewise, it contributes to a more compassionate and sustainable approach on managing the overpopulation of unplanned litter. 

    PR PET BAKUNA 1

    The event will also highlight an activity close to all animal lovers’ hearts – pet adoption or The Gift of Furever Home. This adoption drive is focused on finding loving and permanent homes for rescued cats and dogs. Interested adopters undergo thorough screening, background checks, and interviews until they find their purrfect match. 

    These initiatives highlight RLC’s commitment to creating safe, shared spaces where pets and their parents can thrive. RLC recognizes pets as a fundamental part of Filipino families, and prioritizing their health and wellness means more quality time together. After all, a healthy pet truly is a happy pet!

    HOKA and StudioPROBA Team Up for a Joyful, Artistic Sneaker Collection

    HOKA®, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), is proud to announce its latest collaboration with StudioPROBA, the vibrant multidisciplinary design studio led by artist, Alex Proba. This collaboration brings art to movement, reimagining a selection of HOKA’s iconic silhouettes through StudioPROBA’s joyful, sculptural lens.

    HOKA PROBA Group 1 1 1

    Known for her vibrant exploration of color, pattern, and sensory emotion, Proba has brought her joyful aesthetic to everything from murals and sculpture to textiles, furniture, and digital media. Since founding StudioPROBA in 2013, she has earned global recognition for her playful, immersive designs that transform everyday objects into art. This collaboration with HOKA applies that same ethos to movement, merging form and function through a limited-edition range of expressive footwear.

    HOKA PROBA Group 2

    Rooted in a shared ethos of bold creativity, optimism, and self-expression, the collection celebrates spring’s spirit of renewal. Guided by the concept of the “Energy of Joy,” the designs are inspired by organic movement, emotional connection, and the dynamic relationship between people and nature.

    LAUNCH ALL HOKA PROBA 09

    “This collection is a celebration of joy, movement, and color. I wanted each pair to feel like a little burst of happiness on your feet, like you’re walking through a dreamscape inspired by nature, play, and emotion,” says Alex Proba. “Everything I create is meant to be experienced, whether it’s a sculpture in a gallery, a mural on a wall, or a rug in someone’s home. In this case, it’s shoes. It’s artworks, yes, but one that’s meant to be worn, used, and lived in. I want to strip away the preciousness that often surrounds art and invite people to step into joy – literally.”

    SUSTAIN 1 PROBA HOKA ALL 5

    The collection includes four distinctive colorways across three HOKA silhouettes: the Speedgoat 6, Ora Primo, and Kawana Mid. Each pair acts as a wearable artwork, blending vibrant color, texture, and function to transform everyday movement into an immersive, expressive experience.

    “Alex’s innate ability to fuse form and color comes to life exceptionally well within this special partnership. HOKA’s reputation for vibrant hues and exaggerated shape is on full display thanks to her expert eye,” said Thomas Cykana, Senior Director of Global Collaborations and Partnerships at HOKA. “This collection invites everyone, from athletes to art aficionados, to find joy in movement.”

  • EMMY award-winning Fil-Am artist Karla Puno Garcia set to direct and choreograph A Chorus Line

    EMMY award-winning Fil-Am artist Karla Puno Garcia set to direct and choreograph A Chorus Line

    Theatre Group Asia (TGA) announces that New York-based Emmy Award-winning choreographer, celebrated Fil-Am director and performer, and sought-after dance educator Karla Puno Garcia will serve as director and choreographer for its local production of A Chorus Line, opening March 2026 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.

    1 1

    Puno Garcia’s impressive performance résumé includes numerous Broadway credits, most notably as the first Filipino cast member and dance captain in Hamilton. Her other Broadway performances include West Side Story where she played Lupe, Gigi, and Hot Feet. She also toured the U.S. in Wicked and The Addams Family. On television, she was a finalist on Season 5 of So You Think You Can Dance and appeared in NBC’s Smash, Annie Live!, and Disney+’s Better Nate Than Ever.

    3

    In 2023, Puno Garcia made history as the first woman of color to choreograph the opening number of the Tony Awards, earning her an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Programming. She made her Broadway choreographic debut in Days of Wine and Roses alongside Sergio Trujillo. Since then, she has choreographed Cher, The Connector, Noir, and Rent. She also worked on the TV series Power Book III: Raising Kanan and contributed choreography for and appeared in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s film directorial debut, the Oscar-nominated Tick, Tick… BOOM!.

    4 2

    She has also directed and choreographed several short dance films such as The Spot, They Wake, and Bustin’ Loose, which have been featured in several international dance film festivals. An alumna of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she teaches at Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway, while also conducting global dance workshops.

    5 1

    TGA’s Overall Artistic and Creative Director, Tony Award-winner Clint Ramos, describes, “Karla is a great Filipina force. She’s incredibly lauded and celebrated on Broadway. For A Chorus Line, we needed someone who can honor the original choreography by Michael Bennett and his associate Baayork Lee [the original Connie Wong], but who can also bring her own artistry and excellence to make the material come alive and resonate in the modern context. We are thrilled to have Karla helm this project and can’t wait for the Philippines to see her work.”

    6 2

    On leading the iconic musical, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, Puno Garcia reflects: “I was very flattered when Clint asked me if I was interested in directing and choreographing A Chorus Line. I got so excited, I immediately said yes. Although I’ve never performed in the show itself, my connection to A Chorus Line is quite deep. I have lived its story my entire life. I’ve been a chorus member countless times and have danced in ensembles for the past 20 years. I think the spirit of the show is something I’ve trained all my life to embody.”

    7 2

    Depicting the trials and triumphs of Broadway’s unsung heroes, A Chorus Line is hailed as a musical masterpiece that revolutionized Broadway. In 1976, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama — one of the very few musicals in history to ever do so — and swept the Tony Awards with wins for Best Musical, Best Book (James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante), Best Original Score (Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban), Best Direction (Michael Bennett), and Best Choreography (Michael Bennett and Bob Avian). The story follows 17 performers enduring a grueling audition for eight coveted spots in a Broadway chorus, highlighting their personal stories of ambition, disappointment, and perseverance.

    This is a tale Puno Garcia knows intimately. She shares, “What resonates most with me is the fight and resilience it takes to stay in this business. Being in an ensemble is very specific. There’s a certain pride in dancing alongside your peers, eight shows a week, through injury, emotional hardship, breakups, missed family events, and more. The schedule is intense. That level of sacrifice is something I’ve lived through and understand deeply. But to me, it’s all worth it. At the end of the day, we get to do something we absolutely love. That reward is indescribable.”

    In a case of life imitating art, TGA, in collaboration with Puno Garcia, has launched an international search for the A Chorus Line ensemble, which started in New York last month. The casting continues with a soon-to-be announced nationwide search in partnership with Ayala Malls throughout key Philippine cities, and is open solely to artists of Filipino heritage.

    On what she’s looking for, Puno Garcia explains, “We’re searching for talent that’s exciting, unique, and individual — performers with a strong sense of self. That’s vital to bringing the musical’s characters to life. For those interested, I say: Dance your face off and be a star! Follow your gut, get ready, and go for it! Trust yourself. What you perceive as flaws might just be your superpower. Although we’re looking for an ensemble, each dancer should make the effort to be seen. We want to meet who you are.”

    This initiative aligns with TGA’s mission to unite internationally renowned Filipino artists with homegrown talent. Puno Garcia emphasizes, “It’s incredibly important for more Filipinos to have opportunities like these. That’s how I got my start. I saw others fly before me. That gave me the inspiration and confidence to spread my own wings. I fell in love with dance at age three during my first tap class. Then I trained at a dance studio where I saw students graduating from my dance school going on to Broadway. That was always the big goal for me as a young dancer. There are so many other great talents out there with infinite potential but don’t get the chance to train or be given a stage. That’s what makes this project even more meaningful. We get to see and discover the talent out there.”

    Puno Garcia promises a production that honors the legacy of A Chorus Line while making it resonate with a new generation of Filipino theatergoers, “I’ve been in conversation with Baayork Lee, who embodies the spirit of the original production. I think I can bring my natural choreographic instincts — my sensitivity to music and versatility in dance genres — into the directing process. Once we complete the casting, we’ll breathe new life into the material while staying true to the original show’s hallmarks. I’m especially excited to explore the characters with the all-Filipino cast we’re forming. I want to hear their stories and how they connect with the roles they’re portraying. I can’t wait to be inspired by their perspectives and find a way to use our combined experiences to organically create something that translates into today.”

    The show’s executive producer and a former internationally-acclaimed danseur himself, Chris Mohnani echoes, “We, Filipinos, are known to be great singers. This time, we’reexcited to stage a piece of musical theater that puts a spotlight on our dancing talent, utilizing movement as a vehicle to unravel a story. A Chorus Line glorifies intense love for the arts, profound passion, and razor-sharp focus in working to produce excellent work – the very values TGA advocates.”

    “Superman” Lands in Bridgetowne: Robinsons Land’s Flagship Destination Estate Hosts Epic 2-Day Fan Experience

    The world’s most iconic superhero touched down at Bridgetowne Destination Estate, Robinsons Land Corporation’s (RLC) flagship mixed-use development, as it played host to a two-day fan celebration for DC Studios’ upcoming film, Superman. At the center of the festivities stood The Victor, RLC’s towering 60-meter public art installation and an emerging showcase of Filipino pride and creativity.

    Held on June 18 and 19, the “Superman: Look Up” fan experience marked the film’s only Southeast Asian tour stop and drew thousands of fans to Bridgetowne. The celebration kicked off with a spectacular drone and projection show, lighting up the skyline with exciting cinematic visuals such as Superman flying through the sky, Krypto the Superdog, and the iconic “S” emblem.

    After the light show, the crowd turned their attention to The Victor, which had the Superman logo dramatically illuminating its chest, transforming the towering icon into a striking symbol of strength and heroism.

    The following day, the Bridgetowne Open Grounds became the stage for the largest human Superman “S” formation in the Philippines—a strong show of unity beneath the steel sculpture’s inspiring raised fist pose.  Thousands of avid fans most of them wearing Superman costumes -took part in the record-breaking event.

    The excitement reached its peak when Superman stars David Corenswet (Clark Kent/Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), director James Gunn, and producer Peter Safran made a special appearance to meet their Filipino fans.

    “Bridgetowne was designed to bring people together through bold ideas and memorable experiences,” said Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio, President and CEO of Robinsons Land, at the event. “Welcoming Superman and the team behind the film to The Victor reflects what this estate stands for—a place where global stories find a home and the Filipino spirit takes center stage. It also shows how our destination estates are evolving into spaces where people can work, live, play, and be inspired—all in one community.”

    She was joined at the activity by other key officers from RLC, including Faraday Go, Executive Vice-President of RLC and General Manager of Robinsons Malls; Jericho P Go, Senior Vice President and BU general manager of Robinsons Offices, John Richard Sotelo, Senior Vice President and BU general manager of RLC Residences,  Barun Jolly, Senior Vice President and BU general manger of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts, Lois Albert Montes, assistant vice president Robinsons Destination Estates and Jay dela Cuadra, assistant vice president for RLX Logistics.

    Crafted by Filipino American artist Jefrë, The Victor is fast gaining popularity as a tourist attraction and cultural icon. Standing 60 meters tall and weighing over 300 tons, the sculpture rises at the heart of Bridgetowne and symbolizes the strength, resilience, and aspirations of the Filipino people. Its selection as the backdrop for a global pop culture moment highlights its emergence as both a powerful piece of public art and a landmark of national significance.

    “Our aspiration for The Victor has always been to reflect the Filipino winning spirit,” Aragon-GoBio added. “To see Superman—an international emblem of hope and heroism—land here affirms the global relevance of what we are building at Bridgetowne.”
