Stephen King’s “The Life of Chuck” Opens Exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas This August 20

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.

A Star-Studded Cast Brings Chuck’s Life to Light

Directed and written by Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, Oculus), the film features a powerhouse lineup led by Tom Hiddleston as Chuck Krantz. Also starring are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, and Matthew Lillard—each adding heart and depth to this moving tale.

Watch the Trailer Here:

Not Your Typical Stephen King Adaptation

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.

Matching the thoughtfully designed interiors is a menu that features local flavors and international favorites.

The reopening is a significant milestone for Summit Ridge Tagaytay, the pioneering property under Summit Hotels, a brand developed by Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR)—the hospitality arm of Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC). RHR is the largest hotel group in the Philippines by number of properties and is known for its diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts that cater to different kinds of travelers all over the country.

The revitalized Café Summit stands as a testament to RHR’s commitment to innovation, guest satisfaction, and exceptional Filipino hospitality.

This reopening marks a new chapter in our promise to consistently deliver elevated experiences for our guests across the Philippines.

Enjoy the Barkada platter with your friends—it’s a spread that includes crispy pata, beef ribs BBQ, longganisa, fish ceviche, annatto rice and coleslaw. Try the Sugba platter, a delightful array of dishes that are fresh off the grill: grilled pork, chicken inasal, grilled tuna, grilled shrimp, salted egg, ensalada and annatto rice.

Those in the mood for classics and comfort food are spoilt for choice—go for the Baked Salmon, Chicken Pesto Caesar or Roasted Maple Pumpkin Soup.

The menu also includes signature dishes from other Café Summit locations, created by different chefs at Summit Hotels across the country.

Jose Marie Ouano, General Manager of Summit Ridge Tagaytay, said, “We are excited to welcome our guests to the new Café Summit. Our goal was to create a space that feels both sophisticated and inherently Tagaytay—an inspiring backdrop for memorable meals.”

Cafe Summit isn’t the only reason to make the trip to Summit Ridge Tagaytay. The rest of the hotel, including the ballroom, has undergone renovation too, making this an ideal time to book a staycation or an event at Summit Ridge Tagaytay. Enjoy the newly upgraded swimming pool, hang out by the pool bar, relax on the swings in the garden, take in some fresh air and admire that spectacular view of Taal Lake.

Boracay Launches LezzGo Smart Port System to Boost Tourism and Cut Waiting Time

Boracay just got a tech upgrade that’s set to make traveling to the island faster, safer, and more sustainable. On August 5, 2025, Topline Hi Tech and Synergy Corp., in partnership with the Provincial Government of Aklan, the Municipal Government of Malay, and the Department of Tourism, officially launched LezzGo Boracay, a Unified Automated Ticketing System (UATS) for the island’s entry and exit ports.

With an investment of PHP 150 million, LezzGo is the first fully automated, end-to-end ticketing and fee collection system designed specifically for Boracay’s main transport gateways. The upgrade transforms the ports of Caticlan and Cagban into smart ports, while Tabon and Tambisaan ports, used during weather changes, get partial automation.

Faster Check-Ins, Happier Travelers

If you’ve ever queued for half an hour just to get on the boat, here’s the good news: processing time is now down from 30–40 minutes to just 10–15 minutes.

LezzGo combines terminal fees, environmental fees, boat fares, and passenger manifests into a single QR-coded transaction. This means less paperwork, quicker boarding, and better safety monitoring thanks to a fully digital passenger record.

“We have always believed that true progress is shared progress. LezzGo Boracay is a proof of how public and private sector collaboration can realize a shared vision of enhanced tourist convenience by embracing innovation in port management. This milestone reflects Aklan’s commitment to the national government’s digitalization thrust and to good governance,” said Aklan Governor Jose Enrique “Joen” Martin Miraflores.

Aklan Governor Jose Enrique “Joen” Martin Miraflores

Tech That Works for Tourists and Locals

For Topline Hi Tech President and CEO Eugene Erik Lim, LezzGo isn’t just about speed, it’s also about community.

“We began our port automation journey with Pier 88, the first smart port in Central Visayas. With LezzGo, and through the discussions facilitated by Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, we are bringing improved efficiency and convenience to Boracay by transforming its main ports into smart ports. Beyond innovation, we are also directing a portion of our collected convenience fees to support Boracay’s civil society groups in coordination with the Provincial Government. This is our way of supporting sustainable tourism by empowering communities hand-in-hand with improved tourist experience,” he shared.

The new system can handle over 10,000 passengers daily, almost double the current volume under manual operations. Tourists can register online via www.lezzgo.ph, pay fees, and get a QR code for ticketing. On-site counters remain for those who prefer paying in person, with multiple payment options including cash, cards, and e-wallets.

More Upgrades Coming Soon

LezzGo is currently web-based and works on any smart device. A dedicated mobile app is set for release in the first quarter of 2026, along with PHP 50 million worth of automated ticketing kiosks to make transactions even more convenient.

“What makes this project even more valuable is how it strengthens the entire Topline ecosystem. Our experience here enables knowledge transfer that enhances the backend systems of our other business units, including Light Fuels, a subsidiary of our listed arm, Top Line Business Development Corp., which like LezzGo serves consumers directly. This is a step forward on how we continue to integrate technology across our group’s operations,” said Mr. Lim.

Fees and Early-Bird Perks

Starting September 1, 2025, a PHP 35 per way convenience fee will apply, with 2% going to the local government units operating the ports. There’s also a PHP 15 booking fee for online payments, which will be waived until January 1, 2026to encourage early adoption.

Building Smarter Gateways for the Future

For Mr. Lim, this is more than a tech project. “More than an operational upgrade, it is a catalyst for responsible and inclusive tourism growth in Boracay. We are honored to work alongside the Department of Tourism, the Provincial Government of Aklan, and the Municipal Government of Malay in building smarter gateways for the Philippines’ leading island destination,” he said.

lezzgo.ph

While manual ticketing will still be available for now, it will gradually be phased out as travelers embrace the faster, greener way to reach one of the country’s most beloved destinations.

If you’re heading to Boracay soon, you can skip the long lines, secure your tickets in minutes, and enjoy more time soaking up the island’s white sand and turquoise waters, exactly how a tropical getaway should be.

Heart Mate Canola Oil & Robinsons Supermarket’s “Share-the-Love” Campaign Donates ₱5 per Pack to PGH Patients

What if a thoughtful choice in the grocery shelf could do something good not only for your heart but for someone else’s too? As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, Heart Mate Canola Oil is turning the simple act of cooking into something more meaningful. Through its “Share-the-Love with Heart Mate” campaign — launched in partnership with Robinsons Supermarket — consumers can help support Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGHMFI) patients simply by purchasing any Heart Mate Canola Oil product.

It’s a simple act with real impact. One Heart Mate Canola Oil at a time, shoppers can help fund vital treatments, provide much-needed resources, and offer hope to families facing some of life’s hardest moments.Building on the momentum of its “New Look. Same Love. Heart Mate.” campaign, which introduced Heart Mate’s fresh and new bottle design and packaging, “Share-the-Love with Heart Mate” brings the brand’s message beyond the kitchen. This time, the focus isn’t just on what’s inside the bottle — it’s on the lives that its bottle can touch.

From July 15 to October 15, 2025, for every purchase of any Heart Mate Canola Oil product at any Robinsons Supermarket branches, ₱5 will be donated to the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGHMFI). These proceeds will help fund essential medical programs and patient care, particularly for underprivileged individuals who rely on PGHMFI for life-saving support.

“At Robinsons Supermarket, our promise has always been to bring hearts to our customers’ carts — and this partnership with Heart Mate Canola Oil and PGHMFI brings that to life in a truly meaningful way,” added Mr. Kerwin Legarde, Group General Manager of Robinsons Supermarket. “By choosing healthier options, our customers not only care for their own families but also extend that care to others in need.”

For years, Heart Mate Canola Oil has been a trusted kitchen staple and a proud advocate of health and wellness. This ongoing partnership with the PGHMFI highlights the brand’s belief that nourishing families doesn’t stop at the dinner table — it extends to the greater community.

“We are deeply grateful for this partnership with Heart Mate Canola Oil and Robinsons Supermarket,” said Dr. Telesforo E. Gana Jr., Chairman and President of the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. “The proceeds from this campaign will help us fund vital programs that directly benefit the patients of the Philippine General Hospital to ensure access to quality healthcare and much-needed medical support for those who need it most.”

The Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. provides essential aid to indigent patients across the country, many of whom are undergoing treatment for chronic or critical conditions. Through donor-driven campaigns like this, the foundation can help bridge the gap between access and quality health care.

“As we mark our 25th year in the market, we want to make this milestone more meaningful not just for our brand, but for the communities we serve,” said Abigail Ng-Reyes, Vice President for Marketing of Fly Ace Corporation. “At the heart of our brand is the belief that health and wellness should be accessible to every Filipino and we will continue to champion that through every bottle we share and every initiative we take part in.”

Heart Mate Canola Oil has earned the trust of families who believe that good health starts in the kitchen — without giving up on taste. With zero cholesterol, the lowest saturated fat, and a good source of Omega 3 and 6, it supports not just everyday cooking — but heart health, too.

Now, with every bottle, you’re not just nourishing your loved ones. You’re also extending that care to someone in need.

Because this isn’t just cooking oil — it’s a simple act of love, a step toward better health, and a chance to make a real difference.

Whether it’s for everyday meals or family celebrations, Heart Mate Canola Oil encourages everyone to cook with heart and share the love — one meal, one bottle, and one act of love at a time.

For more information, follow @jollyheartmatecanolaoil on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Heart Mate Canola Oil is available at all leading groceries and supermarkets nationwide.
