IDLEPITCH, one of the most prominent bands in Naga City, aims for a crossover breakthrough with the release of their new single “Salamangkera,” a funky, city pop-infused rock track that reveals an exciting new direction for the band.

Inspired by MOR and ‘80s groove, “Salamangkera” turns the familiar experience of being romantically smitten into a playful, metaphor-rich tune about attraction and losing oneself in the process.
“This is actually inspired by the ’80s band America,” guitarist and composer Herbert Belbes shares. “They have this song called ‘You Can Do Magic’ that sparked the idea. There’s a saying, ‘good artists copy, great artists steal,’ and that applies to this song. Well, not directly, since it only has the same theme: a love interest, or a salamangkera, suddenly vanishing after she charmed you out of your mind.”
What started as a phone-recorded demo eventually evolved into a more polished arrangement. The band worked with producer and co-writer Ahmad Tanji, whose collaborative approach pushed the group to rethink both the arrangement and the lyrics.

Jeremy Pronto’s arrival as keyboardist also proved essential to the song’s shift in sound and form. Originally conceived with a guitar riff, the track’s distinctive horn-like opening was recalibrated for keyboards, giving it an ‘80s pop sheen.
According to the band, “Salamangkera” draws from a wide range of influences, including Pinoy funk, Manila Sound, yacht rock, and the band’s early exposure to acts such as Kala and P.O.T. The result is a song that balances funk-driven grooves, melodic sophistication, Filipino lyricism, and a touch of nostalgia.
IDLEPITCH’s “Salamangkera” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.

The story behind one of the biggest social media controversies of the modern era is heading to the big screen.
Sony Pictures has released the new trailer for “The Social Reckoning,” a gripping drama written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. Positioned as a companion piece to the acclaimed 2010 film “The Social Network,” the movie explores the events surrounding “The Facebook Files” and the whistleblower who helped expose some of the company’s most closely guarded secrets.
At the center of the film is Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, with an ensemble cast that includes Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, and Bill Burr.
Watch the trailer here:
From “The Social Network” to a New Reckoning
More than a decade after “The Social Network” dramatized the rise of Facebook, Aaron Sorkin returns to the world of the tech giant with a story focused on accountability, influence, and the consequences of immense digital power.
Rather than revisiting Facebook’s origins, “The Social Reckoning” looks at a much later chapter in the company’s history.
Inspired by true events, the film follows Frances Haugen, played by Mikey Madison, a young Facebook engineer who comes across information that could have far-reaching consequences.
What begins inside the company soon grows into something much bigger.
Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White Take on a High-Stakes Story
As Frances Haugen, Madison portrays the whistleblower whose actions helped ignite a global conversation about social media, transparency, and corporate responsibility.
She eventually turns to Jeff Horwitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter played by Jeremy Allen White. Together, the two set off on a dangerous path that could expose information Facebook had worked hard to keep private.
Their journey becomes the film’s central David and Goliath battle, pitting individuals searching for the truth against one of the world’s most powerful technology companies.
With Sorkin behind both the screenplay and the camera, the film is expected to bring his signature sharp dialogue and fast-paced storytelling to another headline-making chapter in Facebook’s history.
Jeremy Strong Steps Into the Role of Mark Zuckerberg
Adding even more intrigue to the project is Jeremy Strong, who takes on the role of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Strong joins a stacked cast that also features Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, and Bill Burr, bringing together an impressive lineup for Sorkin’s latest drama.
The new trailer offers a first glimpse at the mounting tension surrounding the whistleblower investigation, as questions of power, secrecy, and responsibility begin to collide.

There was a time when TV night was an unmissable household activity, way before each person got their own screen on their phone, computer, or tablet. Watching TV meant gathering in the living room at the exact same hour, squeezing onto the same sofa, sharing a bowl of popcorn or chips, and experiencing every twist, turn, cliffhanger, and even commercial break together in real time.
In Filipino culture, entertainment has always been a collective experience. Whether it’s dissecting character motives, laughing over comical mishaps, or gasping at a jaw-dropping plot twist, reacting to a shocking scene alone doesn’t feel the same as experiencing it with family and friends. Watching together can turn ordinary television moments into an event.
Only a few series showcase the power of group viewing, like the House of the Dragon Season Three with its recent finale on HBO Max. The eight-episode season has expanded in scale – with massive battles, shifting loyalties, and epic dragon scenes, setting the stage for an epic finale.

Shakespeare is everywhere, and you’ve probably seen all sorts of modern adaptations of his works in various media possible. What made Shakespeare one of the most influential literary figures ever was how he transformed and elevated the English language to show his readers and audiences the beauty and the complexities of the human experience.
As a Filipino theater company dedicated to showcasing English language productions, Repertory Philippines is bringing back its Shakespearean tradition with the staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, ahead of the company’s 90th season. Directed by REP Artistic Director Jeremy Domingo, the production will have a limited three-weekend run from September 12 to September 27 at the historic Saint Cecilia’s Hall, a National Cultural Landmark inside St. Scholastica’s College in Manila.
“Shakespeare has been such a significant part of REP’s 60-year history. It is about time that we revisited the Bard’s masterpieces, especially as our Artistic Director is known for his love for Shakespeare. We are all excited to approach a milestone year with one of the world’s finest works of drama that puts the playwright’s inventiveness in the spotlight,” says Mindy Perez-Rubio, REP President and CEO. The last Shakespearean play REP staged was Hamlet in 2008.
Domingo adds that REP’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be a faithful adaptation that focuses on Shakespeare’s text and themes. “We want to celebrate the power of Shakespeare’s dialogues, which of course defined modern theater as we know it today. It’s a faithful adaptation in a sense that my goal as a director is to guide these talented actors in reading, interpreting, and acting Shakespeare text to bring out the wit, the double entendres, and the sarcasm that made the Bard a pillar of English language and the art of theater-making, even four hundred years after he graced this earth,” adds Domingo.
Leading the cast is Leaf Awardee for Best Featured Actor Randy Villarama, who will play fairy king Oberon/Theseus, Duke of Athens. Actor and playwright Lesley Leveriza Lina and Giannina Ocampo-Van Hoven will alternate as fairy queen Titania/Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and Theseus’ fiancée. The four mixed-up young Athenian lovers will be played by promising young actors: Dani Roque and Isabelle Prado who will be alternating as Helena, Sevee Eslabra as Hermia, Luis Marcelo as Lysander, and GK Diola as Demetrius.
Joining them are Joey Cosio-Mercado as Puck/Philostrate and Joel Parcon as Hermia’s father Egeus. The Mechanicals will be played by Tristan Bite as Nick Bottom, Alexa P. Sandiego as Peter Quince, Rico Del Rosario as Francis Flute, Ysh Bautista as Robin Starveling, Robert Bradly Hao as Tom Snout, and Bella Alejandro as Snug. The Fairies include Alejandro doubling as Peaseblossom, Dana Lee as Cobweb, Rosea Ansay as Moth, and Lorrie Figueroa as Mustardseed.
Andie Villegas joins the creative team as Assistant Director, with Jay Pangilinan as Musical Director, Jomelle Era as Choreographer, Ohm David as Set Designer, Meliton Roxas as Lights Designer, and 2026 Gawad Buhay winner for Best Costume Design Carlos Siongco as Costume Designer. The production team will be headed by Production Manager Bojo Barnes. Completing the team are Assistant Production Manager Phalie Medina, Stage Manager Nicole Chua, and Deputy Stage Manager Marta Muñoz.
Don’t miss REP’s return to Shakespearean theater and catch A Midsummer’s Night Dream only from September 12to September 27 at Saint Cecilia’s Hall in St. Scholastica’s College, Manila.

This October, the time-travelling former delinquent returns in Tokyo Revengers: War of the Three Titans Arc, premiering October 3 on Disney+ Philippines. A newly released trailer and key visual offer fans an exciting first look at the next chapter of the anime phenomenon, adapted from the hit manga series that has surpassed 80 million copies sold worldwide.
Takemichi Finally Finds the Future He Wanted
Picking up soon after the dramatic conclusion of the Tenjiku Arc, War of the Three Titans Arc brings Takemichi closer than ever to the life he has been fighting for.
The brutal conflict between the Tokyo Manji Gang and Tenjiku is over. Its former members have begun moving forward with their lives, and, most importantly, Takemichi’s girlfriend Hinata is alive and happy.
For once, things seem almost perfect.
Almost.
Mikey is nowhere to be found, leaving Takemichi with a troubling question he cannot ignore. With the future still feeling incomplete, he is once again drawn toward the past.
There, an explosive new power struggle awaits.
Three Teams Battle for Supremacy
Returning to the past places Takemichi in the middle of a fierce conflict involving three teams competing for dominance.
After everything he has sacrificed to protect the people he loves, Takemichi now faces one of his most difficult decisions yet. Can he finally accept the future he has created, or will he risk losing everything once again for the chance to save a friend?
Packed with emotional stakes, shifting alliances, and intense confrontations, Tokyo Revengers: War of the Three Titans Arc promises another gripping chapter in Takemichi’s seemingly impossible mission to rewrite fate.
A Global Manga Hit Returns to the Screen
Adapted from the hugely popular manga series, Tokyo Revengers follows former delinquent Takemichi Hanagaki, who unexpectedly gains the ability to travel through time.
Using this mysterious power, he attempts to change the lives of those around him and prevent the murder of Hinata, his middle school girlfriend. Every trip into the past, however, creates new consequences, forcing Takemichi to make increasingly difficult choices about friendship, loyalty, and the future.
The upcoming arc is directed by Maki Kodaira and produced by LIDENFILMS.

Before Filipino superheroes became fixtures on television, film, and digital platforms, their stories first came alive in the vibrant world of komiks.
This September, SuperManila Comic Con 2026 pays tribute to that enduring legacy with two exclusive collector’s releases featuring landmark works by two of the country’s most celebrated creators.
Fans can look forward to Classic Darna #1, which brings back the earliest adventures of Mars Ravelo’s iconic heroine, and Kaluluwa ni Dante, one of the acclaimed masterpieces of National Artist Francisco V. Coching.
Available only during SuperManila Comic Con, both releases celebrate the artistry, imagination, and storytelling that helped shape Philippine popular culture.
Classic Darna #1 Brings a Filipino Icon Back to Her Roots
Few Filipino characters have achieved the cultural impact of Darna.
Created by legendary komiks writer Mars Ravelo, Darna made her debut in Pilipino Komiks in 1950 and quickly became a symbol of courage, heroism, and strength.
Now, collectors can return to the character’s earliest days through the Classic Darna #1 SuperManila Comic Con Exclusive.
The special release reprints stories from Darna’s original komiks appearances, including her first appearance and celebrated origin story. The stories feature illustrations by acclaimed Filipino artist Nestor Redondo, whose expressive and detailed artwork became closely associated with the heroine’s classic image.
For this exclusive release, internationally renowned artist Stanley “ARTGERM” Lau gives Darna a fresh visual showcase with special cover artwork created for both editions.
Two Limited Darna Editions for Collectors
The Classic Darna #1 release will be available in two strictly limited versions.
The Full-Color Virgin Cover Edition, priced at ₱1,000, is limited to 1,000 copies and presents the classic stories in vivid color.
Meanwhile, the Sepia Cover and Black-and-White Interior Edition, priced at ₱800, is also limited to 1,000 copies. Its sepia-toned ARTGERM cover and black-and-white interior evoke the traditional komiks experience familiar to generations of Filipino readers.
Adding even more collector appeal, every copy of both editions comes with an exclusive Darna trading card.
These editions do not present a new Darna adventure or modern retelling. Instead, they preserve and reintroduce the original material that helped establish the character as a Filipino pop culture legend.
Classic Darna #1 Created by Mars Ravelo Illustrated by Nestor Redondo Exclusive cover artwork by Stanley “ARTGERM” Lau
Kaluluwa ni Dante Returns in a Rare Collector’s Edition
SuperManila Comic Con 2026 will also spotlight the extraordinary work of Francisco V. Coching, one of the most influential figures in Philippine comics.
Known as the “King of Komiks,” Coching built a remarkable body of work across four decades, creating dozens of serialized stories that combined dramatic storytelling with striking visual detail.
Among his most celebrated titles are Pedro Penduko, Hagibis, Sabas, ang Barbaro, El Indio, Lapu-Lapu, and Kaluluwa ni Dante.
First serialized in 1949, Kaluluwa ni Dante tells the story of Dante Magtanggol, who embarks on an extraordinary out-of-body journey under the guidance of the mysterious Dr. Futiphar.
Along the way, the story blends mystery, fantasy, adventure, romance, and moral conflict while exploring themes of justice, redemption, love, and the struggle between good and evil.
Coching’s cinematic compositions and richly rendered artwork helped make the story one of his standout works.
His influence would eventually reach far beyond the pages of komiks. Fifty-one of his 63 komiks novels were adapted into films, demonstrating the extraordinary reach of his storytelling across Philippine entertainment.
In 2014, Coching was posthumously named National Artist for Visual Arts, further cementing his place in the country’s cultural history.
Only 300 Copies of Kaluluwa ni Dante Will Be Available
For SuperManila Comic Con 2026, Kaluluwa ni Dante will be released as a special 116-page softcover edition.
The book retains its original black-and-white format, allowing readers to appreciate Coching’s detailed line work as it was originally presented.
Only 300 copies will be produced.
Priced at ₱1,000 per copy, the release is expected to be one of the convention’s most sought-after items among komiks collectors and fans of classic Filipino illustration.
Kaluluwa ni Dante By Francisco V. Coching 116-page softcover edition Original black-and-white format Limited to 300 copies ₱1,000 per copy
A Celebration of the Stories That Shaped Filipino Pop Culture
Together, Classic Darna #1 and Kaluluwa ni Dante highlight two distinct but equally important chapters in Philippine komiks history.
Darna represents one of the country’s most recognizable heroic figures, while Kaluluwa ni Dante showcases the storytelling mastery of one of Philippine comics’ greatest artists.
By bringing these works back into print as limited collector’s editions, SuperManila Comic Con gives both longtime enthusiasts and younger readers an opportunity to experience the creativity that defined a golden era of Filipino komiks.
The two releases will be available exclusively at the SMCC Merch Booth at The Concourse during SuperManila Comic Con 2026, happening September 4 to 6, 2026, at The Concourse and SPACE at One Ayala, Makati City.
With quantities strictly limited, collectors will want to secure their copies during the three-day event.

The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 embodies speed without sacrifice: a fast tempo trainer powered by a visible Air Zoom engine with responsive ZoomX foam designed to make each stride feel lighter, quicker and more alive.
Refined to reveal what matters most, the Pegasus Plus 2 introduces a system of speed runners can both see and feel, whether they’re logging daily miles, building through long runs or picking up the pace.
The next-generation Pegasus is designed for runners who want speed, longevity and versatility each time they lace up, tapping into race-day energy with a fast, powerful and smooth run that demands less and delivers more.
At the heart of the shoe is an exposed, curved Air Zoom unit in the forefoot, fundamentally changing how a Pegasus feels and performs. Paired with a light and bouncy ZoomX foam midsole, this system helps creates a smooth, propulsive ride that delivers at least 18 percent more energy return than the inaugural Pegasus Plus.
Inspired by the fast feel of Nike road racing footwear, the Pegasus Plus 2 delivers the smooth, powerful sensation of a supershoe without the plate, helping runners lock in from the moment they take off.
“Our goal was simple: speed without sacrifice,” says Deepa Ramprasad, senior director, Nike Running footwear. “We spent years obsessing every ingredient in this system. Nothing more and nothing less than what a runner needs to feel fast, comfortable and confident to push their pace. This is a revolution for the Pegasus franchise, bringing inspiration from race-day sensation into a daily trainer.”
The Pegasus Plus 2 is engineered to enable a smooth, comfortable and versatile ride, making it a go-to option for runners who want a shoe with range across run types. The curved Air Zoom unit helps ease each step into the next, creating a rhythm that feels natural and uninterrupted, with inner tensile fibers that act like preloaded springs to pump out more of the energy runners put in.
A fine-tuned MR10 2.0 last, first introduced in the Pegasus 42, provides a more accommodating forefoot and toe box, while the midfoot system helps keep the foot secure yet nimble for peak comfort. Elevated materials around the ankle, reflective elements, and a modern waffle outsole with innovative flex zones round out the design for an experience that feels light, smooth and more connected to the road.
“I love a run where I’m locked in but still enjoying every step,” says Cameron Myers, Nike athlete and world leader in the 1,500 meter. “That’s the feeling I get from this shoe. Easy, fast, smooth. It just flows.”
The Pegasus Plus 2 was tested by more than 30 elite Nike athletes across disciplines, from top marathoners to leading track and field icons. The Nike Sport Research Lab rigorously evaluated how runners move and feel to inform design and help deliver the best on-foot experience. The silhouette’s Air Zoom unit features precise pressure tuning, with construction adapted across sizes to help maximize energy return and deliver a consistent experience for all runners.
The Pegasus Plus 2 also represents the latest evolution of Nike’s longest-tenured and best-selling running shoe franchise of all time, which is one of three distinct categories comprising the brand’s road running footwear lineup. Pegasus carries forward a legacy of responsive cushioning for all-day energy return, while Vomero offers maximum cushioning for ultimate comfort and Structure provides supportive cushioning for a stable ride.
The introduction of the Pegasus Plus 2 — and the innovation at the heart of Nike’s entire road running footwear lineup — reflects Nike’s history as the brand built by runners, for runners, and its continued commitment to creating the most technologically advanced products to help all athletes, from the elite to the everyday, unlock their breakthrough and greatest speed potential.
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 will be available from 1 October 2026 at nike.com and select retail locations.
