Robinsons Malls has partnered with the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) in presenting “One More Chance, The Musical,” the highly anticipated stage adaptation of the iconic 2007 Star Cinema film starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

Get a chance to win FREE tickets for 2 when you shop and dine at select Robinsons Malls from April 1-24, 2024

“We are as thrilled and as excited as the millions of followers and supporters of Popoy and Basha, whose love story has stirred the hearts of so many Filipinos, encompassing decades of classic storytelling,” says Jess Zulueta, Robinsons Malls Senior Marketing Director.

Robinsons Malls, a staunch advocate of the arts, has always championed the many passions of its customers. This is evidenced by its different projects and initiatives, from its collaborations with Jefre and Erwin Wurm to ARTablado, which gives visual artists from all over the Philippines the platform to showcase their work. Robinsons Malls is also home to great entertainment, consistently hosting exciting live performances and giving mallgoers the chance to see their favorite performers up close. It has also become a place where fresh talent is discovered and developed, thanks to the RMalls Academy.

Mr. Joel Lumanlan, Robinsons Malls’ Vice President for Marketing and Operations, signs the partnership agreement alongside Ms. Beng Santos-Cabangon, Executive Director of PETA.

This time, Robinsons Malls is giving local theater a boost with its partnership with PETA. There’s another layer to the partnership—the musical will tell the unforgettable story of Popoy and Basha and their barkada using the songs of the hugely popular band and Robinsons Malls brand ambassadors, Ben&Ben.

“One More Chance, The Musical,” which opens at the PETA Theater Center on April 12, has already set records, selling out 50 shows months before opening night. Due to overwhelming demand, PETA added more shows and released new tickets but those too were gone in an instant.

One More Chance the Musical will feature the hits from Robinsons Malls brand ambassadors, Ben&Ben

Unveiling “Sunshine”: Maris Racal and Antoinette Jadaone’s Bold Dive into Teenage Pregnancy

In a striking venture into the realm of socially relevant cinema, ANIMA Studios together with Project 8 Projects proudly presents “Sunshine,” a compelling narrative directed by the critically acclaimed Antoinette Jadaone and featuring the dynamic Maris Racal in a groundbreaking role. Set against the backdrop of competitive gymnastics, the film navigates the turbulent waters of teenage pregnancy, offering a narrative that is both thought-provoking and deeply resonant.

A Story of Courage and Reflection

“Sunshine” unfolds the tale of a young gymnast at the cusp of realizing her dreams when an unexpected pregnancy threatens to derail her aspirations. The film takes us on her emotional journey, intersected by a chance meeting with a mysterious girl who mirrors her innermost thoughts and fears, opening up a Pandora’s box of self-reflection and existential dilemmas.

A Convergence of Creative Minds

The film marks a significant milestone as the third collaboration between Racal and Jadaone, whose creative synergy has previously graced the screens with notable projects like “Simula Sa Gitna” and “The Kangks Show.” Jadaone, renowned for her ability to weave compelling narratives that strike at the heart of societal issues, as seen in her works like “Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay” and “Fan Girl,” brings a nuanced perspective to the delicate subject of teenage pregnancy.

In an enlightening conversation with Deadline, Jadaone shared, “Sunshine represents the hundreds of thousands of girls who became pregnant in their teens. These topics have always been taboo in the Philippines because of our deeply conservative roots, but when cases of teenage pregnancy and self-induced abortions rise every year, it is imperative that these stories be told.”

A Bold Statement on Womanhood

ANIMA and Project 8 Projects, in their collaboration, strive to boldly address sensitive issues surrounding womanhood, societal expectations, and the unique challenges faced by Filipinas today. Bianca Balbuena, General Manager of ANIMA, expressed, “Collaborating with Project 8 Projects has been a wonderful experience. ‘Sunshine’ boldly addresses sensitive topics related to womanhood, the layers that complicate it, and the societal demands Filipinas face today. Director Antoinette Jadaone’s body of work speaks largely about these themes, and we’re honored to be a part of making this story come to life. We strongly believe that many will relate to this tale.”

A Vision for Global Recognition

ANIMA continues to champion Filipino talent on the global stage, with critically acclaimed productions such as “Leonor Will Never Die” and “Whether the Weather is Fine.” Project 8 Projects, under the guidance of Jadaone and Dan Villegas, remains at the forefront of Philippine cinema with its culturally impactful narratives.

“Sunshine” is poised to not only illuminate the myriad challenges of teenage pregnancy but also to celebrate the resilience and strength of young women. As the film moves into post-production, anticipation builds for a story that promises to connect, confront, and captivate audiences worldwide.
