    Trailer Alert: Numbers, Bullets, and Brotherly Bonds

    The new trailer is a three-minute thrill ride. It’s got everything—cryptic clues, high-stakes action, and a sibling team-up that’s equal parts heart and havoc. Affleck’s Wolff is back, sharper than ever, unraveling a murder mystery that pulls him into a deadly conspiracy. Enter Bernthal’s Brax, a wildcard with fists as fast as his brother’s brain. Together? They’re unstoppable.

    What’s the Mission?

    Here’s the gist: When an old friend’s murder leaves behind a message to “find the accountant,” Wolff can’t resist. But this isn’t just about cracking codes—it’s personal. Teaming up with Brax and U.S. Treasury hotshot Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they’re hunting a truth buried under a pile of bodies. The catch? A network of ruthless killers is hunting them right back. Expect edge-of-your-seat tension and a few “wait, what?!” moments. How hyped are you for this cat-and-mouse chase?

    Araneta City glows in blue for inclusion and equality

    This April 2, Araneta City once again joins the global celebration of World Autism Awareness Day to reinforce its commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and appreciation of all individuals.

    Every year on this day, communities worldwide unite to enhance understanding, inspire action, and provide greater support for individuals with autism. This year, the City of Firsts partnered with the Philippine Association for Citizens with Developmental and Learning Disabilities, Inc. (PACDLD) to come up with meaningful activities from April 2 to 4 that celebrate the talents and contributions of individuals with autism, raise awareness, and encourage community support.

    World Autism Awareness Day Araneta City

    “At Araneta City, inclusivity isn’t just a concept. It is a daily commitment to create spaces where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and celebrated,” Marjorie Go, VP for Marketing of Araneta City said.

    At Gateway Mall 2, visitors can journey through the history of autism with an engaging and informative exhibit at “Spectrum Fest: Celebrating Autism Through History and Fun”. From 10 am to 5 pm on April 2 until 4, everyone is invited to explore interactive displays, enjoy inflatables, and participate in kiddie activities designed to foster understanding and joy.

    Over at Gateway Mall 1, there will be the “Pages and Puppetry: Celebrating Autism Awareness Through Storytelling” event in collaboration with the National Council on Disability Affairs. From 10 am to 12 noon on April 2, this storytelling session promises to captivate hearts and open minds, helping children and adults alike understand autism through delightful narratives and puppetry.

    To further shed light on this important advocacy, the Quantum Skyview at Gateway Mall 2 will glow blue at various intervals on April 2 to signify Araneta City’s global solidarity and support for autism awareness. Starting at 12 noon, the lights will remind mallgoers of the color blue as the symbol of equality and inclusion for people who have autism.

    Smart Araneta Coliseum will also join the worldwide observance by lighting up in blue on the evening of April 2. This annual tradition is especially significant this year, as it coincides with the Big Dome’s 65th anniversary, reinforcing the role of this iconic venue as not just a place for entertainment and sports, but as a destination where everyone is celebrated and welcomed.

    “Our event venues have always been a beacon of inclusion, equality, and diversity,” Go emphasized. “They have proudly hosted events and initiatives that bring important advocacies to the forefront, making them not only iconic venues but also a symbol of hope and acceptance for many. We are proud to light them up in blue as we mark World Autism Awareness Day.”

    To further enrich the day’s events, Gateway Gallery will conduct a special consultative dialogue at 1 pm for parents of newly diagnosed children with autism, and will host the annual Autism Advocate Awards at 3 pm to recognize individuals and groups who have significantly contributed to raising autism awareness and promoting inclusion. These insightful gatherings will provide a comforting space to gain valuable insights and guidance from autism advocates, fostering community support and empowerment.

    “We invite everyone to join us at Araneta City in celebrating the wonderful diversity that makes our community vibrant. Let’s come together to celebrate and express our support for people on the autism spectrum,” Go concluded.
