There’s a secret in almost every woman’s closet: a collection of stretched-out, stained, and faded panties reserved exclusively for their period. This “ugly panties” drawer is a symptom of a deeper issue—the ingrained belief that leaks and stains are an inevitable part of menstruation.
Whisper is challenging this long-accepted compromise with its new RIP Ugly Panties campaign. The brand is inviting women to finally lay this habit to rest, starting with a symbolic funeral event that marks a new era of confidence.
Farewell to bad underwear days! A cheeky yet stylish send-off to ill-fitting undies. Whisper Day & Night Protect is here to celebrate comfort and confidence.
The End of a Compromise
For years, many have relied on these “backup” panties because they didn’t trust their pads to provide adequate protection, especially on heavy-flow days. This coping mechanism has become so normalized that few question it. We wear the ratty pair and avoid our favorite underwear, accepting this as a necessary part of life.
Whisper is saying “enough.” With the launch of Whisper Day & Night Protect, a new 28cm-long pad offering up to 100% leak protection, the brand is empowering women to expect more from their period care. This new pad is designed to provide secure protection, even during the heaviest flows, so women can wear whatever they want with confidence.
According to Katrina Mangubat, Senior Communications Manager of Whisper, “Whisper is helping Filipinas say RIP to their ugly period panties because with the right pad like Whisper Day & Night Protect, they shouldn’t need a backup plan anymore.
Join the Movement
The campaign is already gaining traction, with women embracing the shift from “compromising to confident” and proudly saying “RIP” to their old underwear.
Whisper’s RIP Ugly Panties campaign is an invitation to be part of a growing movement. By joining, women can celebrate the end of a long-standing habit and embrace a future of leak-free periods, body confidence, and finally, cute underwear every day of the month.

A Story That Will Surprise and Move You—Only at Ayala Malls Cinemas
Stephen King fans, get ready for a different kind of journey. Coming exclusively to Ayala Malls Cinemas this August 20, The Life of Chuck offers something rare: a deeply personal, unexpectedly heartwarming story told in reverse.
With sneak previews set for August 16 at 6:30 PM, this is one film event you don’t want to miss.
Best known for spine-tingling classics like It and The Shining, King is no stranger to horror. But The Life of Chuck stands apart. Adapted from one of his lesser-known novellas, this story unfolds in three parts—moving backwards through the titular character’s life to reveal a tender, introspective look at love, loss, and legacy.
Mike Flanagan, long praised for his work in the horror genre, calls it “the most joyful project I’ve ever worked on.”
“I’ve never worked on something more joyful. I’ve never worked on anything like this – a movie that does not have one ounce of cynicism. I wanted so badly for it to exist in the world for my children. This is a movie I wanted them to be able to find in their lives when they might need it. And because it’s especially a new thing for me. I wanted to protect that swelling in my heart that I felt when I read it.”
A TIFF Crowd Favorite, Now in the Philippines
After charming audiences at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People’s Choice Award, The Life of Chuck is finally making its exclusive Philippine debut—only at Ayala Malls Cinemas.
Whether you’re a cinephile or someone just looking for something beautiful and thought-provoking, this film promises to hit the mark.

Why This Film Matters
More than just a movie, The Life of Chuck invites viewers to reflect on their own lives—how we define joy, how we deal with grief, and how everyday moments become extraordinary when we look back.
“I hope the movie helps people look at our world today, at the challenges of each of our individual lives, and encourages them to sometimes put down the briefcase and let yourself dance, whatever that means to you, whatever kind of expression of joy dancing represents, you know, whether that’s painting or just being with family, writing, being athletic, you know, all these different ways that we can let our hearts out,” says Flanagan.
This isn’t just cinema—it’s therapy for the soul.
