Canines are set to take center stage at the biggest dog show in Asia — the Philippine Circuit 2026 — from January 21 to 26, 2026, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Now in its 12th year, the Philippine Circuit is organized by the Philippine Canine Club, Inc. (PCCI), a non-stock and non-profit organization dedicated to promoting love and compassion for purebred dogs. The event demonstrates PCCI’s commitment to propelling the canine experience onto the global stage.
This year’s spectacle will be headlined by the 2026 Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) World Grooming Competition, which will highlight the skill and artistry in dog grooming. Dogs and dog handlers from across the globe will showcase creative styling, breed-specific cuts, and technical ability.
Alongside this contest, there will be 12 All-Breed Championship Dog Shows, mediated by renowned international judges to ensure fair and healthy competition. With 7,440 entries representing 91 breeds, the Philippine Circuit 2026 continues to showcase the diversity of breeds and their unique qualities.
Dog lovers will witness lovable Pembroke Welsh Corgis, charming French Bulldogs, fluffy Pomeranians, friendly Golden Retrievers, and more, skipping around the Smart Araneta Coliseum with glee, together with their proud handlers.
Last year, an American Cocker Spaniel earned the title of Grand Champion, impressing judges with its sophistication. A Borzoi claimed Best in Show, while a Chow Chow was awarded Best in Show for Philippine-born dogs, highlighting the expertise and dedication of local breeders.
“The Philippine Circuit is more than a competition,” said Irene L. Jose, COO of Uniprom Inc. “It’s the celebration of camaraderie between humans and dogs. This event is a gathering of the dog-loving community and their love for purebred dogs.”
The event also aims to educate people about dog grooming and its critical role in canine health and hygiene. Dog grooming is essential in controlling parasites, fleas, and other infections. It also helps in the early detection of lumps, bumps, and other health problems. More than its aesthetic function, dog grooming is imperative for canines’ overall well-being.
PCCI Groomers Certification conducts seminars to professionalize dog groomers in the Philippines, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality services.
PCCI is also a member of the FCI, an international organization of registering bodies based in Brussels, Belgium. PCCI is the only FCI-accredited registering body in the Philippines for purebred dogs.

The seas are getting rougher—and far more ruthless. Netflix has officially released the “Rise of the Baroques” teaser for ONE PIECE: Into the Grand Line, igniting excitement among fans eager for the next chapter of the hit live-action pirate saga. This first look introduces Baroque Works, a shadowy and highly organized society of assassins whose arrival signals a dramatic escalation in danger for the Straw Hat Pirates.
With the Grand Line looming ahead, the teaser makes one thing crystal clear: survival will no longer come easy.
Baroque Works Steps Out of the Shadows
Known for secrecy, deception, and chilling efficiency, Baroque Works stands as one of the most formidable enemy factions in the ONE PIECE universe. Operating through numbered agents and hidden hierarchies, the group thrives on manipulation and chaos—making them a perfect threat for the unpredictable seas ahead.
Netflix has confirmed an impressive lineup of cast members portraying the notorious organization:
Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday
Lera Abova as Miss All-Sunday
David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3
Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5
Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine
Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9
Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek
Each character brings a distinct personality and threat level, blending eccentric charm with deadly intent—an unsettling mix that perfectly suits the Grand Line’s lawless waters.
A More Dangerous Voyage for the Straw Hats
Season 2 follows Monkey D. Luffy and his ever-loyal Straw Hat crew as they sail into the legendary Grand Line, a stretch of ocean infamous for its volatile weather, strange islands, and relentless enemies. Every port brings new risks, and every alliance carries a cost.
Returning to lead the adventure are:
Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy
Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro
Emily Rudd as Nami
Taz Skylar as Sanji
Jacob Romero as Usopp
While the threats grow darker, the heart of the series remains intact—driven by friendship, resilience, and Luffy’s unwavering belief in freedom.
The Grand Line Expands the World of ONE PIECE
Produced by Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner) in collaboration with Shueisha and Netflix, ONE PIECEcontinues to evolve as a live-action spectacle. Into the Grand Line promises heightened action sequences, richer world-building, and villains whose motives blur the line between cruelty and conviction.
The teaser hints at bizarre new locations, unsettling power dynamics, and conflicts that challenge the Straw Hats not just physically, but morally as well.
A New Era of Pirates Begins
With Baroque Works rising and the Grand Line unfolding its many dangers, ONE PIECE: Into the Grand Line sets the stage for a bold and unpredictable season. The journey forward is thrilling, perilous, and packed with surprises waiting beyond the horizon.
More than two decades after the Rage virus first tore through Britain, the world of 28 Years Later has grown even more grim—and gripping. In 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, now showing in Philippine cinemas, survival no longer means running or hiding. It means finding meaning in the madness.
Directed by Nia DaCosta, this haunting sequel brings us face to face with the emotional aftermath of a world ravaged by infection—and introduces a different kind of hero in Dr. Ian Kelson, played by three-time Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes.
A Doctor Among the Dead
Dr. Kelson is not your typical survivor.
Instead of barricading himself away or hunting infected, he’s building something… monumental. Known as “The Bone Temple,” Kelson’s massive ossuary is both a sanctuary and a shrine—a tribute to the lives lost in the apocalypse.
“The Bone Temple reminds us that everything seems hopeless,” director Nia DaCosta says. “But at the same time, if you’re still alive, you can accomplish something meaningful with your life. For Dr. Ian Kelson, it’s building this monument to death, which inversely, is what gives him the energy to live.”
For Kelson, death isn’t the end—it’s a reason to keep going. Among the bones, he finds peace. In honoring the dead, he reconnects with life.
Watch the Official Trailer here:
When the Infected Are No Longer Just Monsters
Most survivors view the infected with fear and fury. But Kelson? He sees more.
One infected in particular—Samson, a towering, hyper-evolved Alpha—challenges everything Kelson thought he knew about the virus. While the world sees a predator, Kelson sees potential.
“We’ve seen Samson do monstrous things,” DaCosta notes, “but Kelson sees a lot more to him.”
This unlikely bond becomes the emotional backbone of the film—something raw, dangerous, and strangely moving.
Inside the Mind of the Infected
Fiennes describes this chapter of the trilogy as a deep psychological journey—one that blurs the lines between monster and man.
“The new film explores the theme of innate humanity – is it still alive in the soul, in the heart, and in the mind of an infected person?” he asks. “Are they completely corrupted? Or is there the possibility of something human still there?”
In The Bone Temple, the horror isn’t just physical—it’s existential. Are the infected completely consumed by Rage, or is something human still flickering underneath?
Meet Samson: The Evolution of Fear
Portrayed by Chi Lewis-Parry, Samson is no ordinary infected.
He’s faster. Stronger. Smarter.
Samson represents hope. When we met Samson, he was an apex predator committing monstrously violent acts. The mutation of the virus has had a steroidal effect on some of the infected, including Samson, turning him into a kind of super-infected.”
But it’s not just about power. Samson’s evolution hints at something more: awareness. He isn’t just reacting—he’s thinking.
“We understand that he is an intelligent creature and not just a mindless, rage-filled infected creature,” Lewis-Parry continues. “So, we tried to put a purpose behind the violence.”
A Bond That Could Change Everything
The connection between Kelson and Samson is nothing short of electric. It’s terrifying, yes—but also tender.
“The dynamic is fueled by Kelson’s loneliness, as well as his curiosity,” DaCosta explains. “It’s almost like one couldn’t exist without the other, and it’s a very potent combination. For Samson, the morphine brings them together in a way that’s initially terrifying – we’ve seen him rip people’s heads off! As the complexity of Samson’s thoughts and cognitive processes becomes apparent, Kelson recognizes this, leading to the development of a relationship between them.”
Morphine becomes the key to their interaction, offering moments of calm between them. But those quiet moments reveal something astonishing: Samson is thinking. Processing. Choosing.
As Kelson begins to see Samson as more than just a monster, the question arises: Could this bond lead to the key to ending—or evolving—the virus?
Brutal, Bold, and Unexpected
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple isn’t your typical post-apocalyptic thriller. It’s a character-driven, emotionally-charged meditation on survival, grief, and what it means to be human in a world that has forgotten what that looks like.
Ralph Fiennes commands the screen with a performance that is both haunting and hopeful, bringing gravitas to a role that could’ve easily been swallowed by genre clichés.
With stunning visuals, a gripping pace, and a bold script, DaCosta takes the franchise in a thrilling new direction—one that rewards fans and newcomers alike.
Now Showing in Cinemas Nationwide
Whether you’re here for the scares, the story, or the stunning performances, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple delivers on every front. It’s a raw, riveting continuation of a beloved series—it’s playing now in cinemas across the Philippines and distributed locally by Columbia Pictures.

Gerard Butler returns in full survival mode, backed by relentless tension and large-scale spectacle. This is gripping, emotionally charged cinema that asks how far a family can go when the world has already ended once.

The infected world grows darker in this chilling new chapter. Dr. Kelson becomes entangled in a shocking relationship with consequences that threaten humanity’s fragile future, while Spike’s encounter with Jimmy Crystal spirals into an inescapable nightmare.
Anchored by haunting performances and an atmosphere thick with dread, this film leans into psychological terror as much as physical danger. Fans of smart, unsettling sci-fi horror will find plenty to hold onto here.
Why see it in cinemas? Because fear feels more intense when shared in the dark.
This tender drama explores connection, compassion, and the pull of human nature. A teenage girl moves with her family to the countryside and encounters a mysterious, feral boy living on their land. As she helps him learn how to live among people, a fragile bond forms, challenged by instincts that cannot be easily tamed.
Why watch it this week? Because smaller stories can leave the biggest impact.
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, this lyrical drama follows Lionel, a gifted music student, whose life changes after meeting David at the Boston Conservatory in 1917. United by a shared love for folk music, their connection is rekindled years later through a letter that leads them on an unexpected journey through rural Maine to preserve traditional songs.
With Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor at its heart, the film blends romance, memory, and music into a moving reflection on love and legacy.
Why catch it on the big screen? Because its quiet beauty deserves space to breathe.

As suspicion spreads, the question remains—will the truth be enough to restore his honor?

With Wuxian restrained during the investigation, Lù Yě becomes Hei’s temporary guardian and mentor, offering guidance shaped by discipline and experience.
As their mission unfolds, Lù Yě’s past is revealed. Orphaned by war and stripped of her family, she carries deep resentment toward humans.

ALT ART marks its most anticipated return with a bigger venue, expanded exhibitions, and dynamic public programs at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay from February 12 to 15, 2026, with public days scheduled from February 13 to 15, open from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Organized by the ALT Collective and joined by nine of the country’s premier galleries—Artinformal, Blanc, The Drawing Room, Galleria Duemila, Finale Art File, MO_Space, Underground, Vinyl on Vinyl, and West Gallery—the fourth edition of the showcase is set to be the largest yet, featuring twice the floor area of its 2024 iteration, and walls rising up to 5 meters high. This expansion provides more room to exhibit the best works in contemporary art and to develop curated projects that further reframe artistic discourse and critical engagement with art in the Philippines.
Artinformal’s Tina Fernandez says that “Each of the 9 galleries that form part of the collective represent different artists who are experts in their field and have different points of view. ALT ART presents these different voices in a cohesive manner. Being in a venue that is more accessible to a broader audience fulfills our goal to enable more people from different walks of life to experience these shows.”
The staple SPECIAL PROJECTS, presented individually by each gallery, will continue to push conceptual possibilities and expand the showcase’s curatorial scope. Featured exhibitions will include works by Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Buen Calubayan, Julie Lluch/Kiri Dalena/Ben Brixx, Raffy Napay, MM Yu, Kolown/Christina Lopez, Mauro “Malang” Santos, Lesley-Ann Cao, and Iwan Effendi.
Aiming to offer fresh perspectives in art, which marks another exciting milestone for ALT ART, this edition will unveil the inaugural group of artists featured in the DISCOVERIES SECTION.
“The Discoveries Program is a platform for artists who we think deserve to garner more attention. Some of these artists are not new, but we feel we have a long journey ahead. The program is also a reminder that with the fast paced turnover of attention, it is a good way for us to step back and slow things down a bit,” explains Jay Amante of Blanc.
Showcasing exciting and critically engaged practices, the program spotlights artists whose work merits greater visibility and recognition, including JC Mariategue, Jomari T’leon, Joar Songcuya, Allyza Tresvalles, Eric Bico, Gelo Cinco, Joanolasco, Rhaz Oriente, and Marco Ortiga.
“New highlights lead to new interests which lead to new conversations. We aim to bridge the gap between what is established, and what is to be discovered,” adds Mawen Ong of MO_Space.
ALT ART 2026 promises yet another edition full of discoveries, continuing its mission to promote Philippine art and amplify artistic voices for local and international audiences, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
The art showcase is presented by BDO Private Bank, and with special support from Nagaraya. Tickets for public days from February 13 to 15, 2026, are available onsite, priced at PHP 500 for the general public and PHP 250 for students.
