Fisher Mall was buzzing with happy tails and wagging excitement as it recently hosted Supertails & Cinema: A Pet-Friendly Movie Date, in line with the premier of the Superman movie. The event is part of the mall’s ongoing efforts to create inclusive community events, gathering not just mallgoers but also extending it to their beloved pets.
Moviegoers and their adorable furry friends got to enjoy the big screen premiere of the much anticipated Superman together, filling up the mall’s three VIP cinemas and one regular cinema.
Adding to the fun was a special Dog Blessing held at the Fishers of Men Chapel, drawing a crowd of enthusiastic fur parents and fur babies. A highlight of the segment was seeing pets and their owners make a grand entrance in full costume, with standouts arriving alongside their own superdogs.
Following Supertails & Cinema, Fisher Mall once again reinforces its commitment to building a community where everyone feels welcome – including furry friends – with its next pet-friendly event: Fantastic Fur, happening on July 26 alongside the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Through events like these, the mall continues to go beyond retail, fostering connections and bringing communities closer together.

Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) and the Quezon City Veterinary Department are teaming up for a full day of free pet wellness services such as Pet Bakuna, Pet Konsulta, Snip ‘en Snap and fun activities on July 11 at Robinsons Galleria, starting at 10 AM. This special event, dubbed “R Happiest Place for Pets – World Zoonoses Day,” aims to raise awareness about infectious diseases that can spread from animals to humans. QC Vet’s rescued cats and dogs will also be up for adoption.
Zoonotic diseases, such as rabies, pose risks to both animal and human health. That’s why RLC is leading the change with Pet Bakuna, an anti-rabies vaccination drive. This initiative helps pet parents follow best practices in pet care and ensures their furry companions are protected.
Pet Konsulta is a veterinary consultation program aimed at providing convenience and accessibility for fur parents. Vet consultation is an important responsibility of every fur parent as it enables them to monitor their pet’s health, prevent possible illnesses and ensure that their fur babies are in good shape.
Another pet service that can be availed is the spay and neuter operations called Snip ‘en Snap. Spaying and neutering has its long-term health benefits such as preventing the development of reproductive illnesses. Likewise, it contributes to a more compassionate and sustainable approach on managing the overpopulation of unplanned litter.
The event will also highlight an activity close to all animal lovers’ hearts – pet adoption or The Gift of Furever Home. This adoption drive is focused on finding loving and permanent homes for rescued cats and dogs. Interested adopters undergo thorough screening, background checks, and interviews until they find their purrfect match.
These initiatives highlight RLC’s commitment to creating safe, shared spaces where pets and their parents can thrive. RLC recognizes pets as a fundamental part of Filipino families, and prioritizing their health and wellness means more quality time together. After all, a healthy pet truly is a happy pet!

Archie Comics is bringing major kilig vibes to Filipino fans at this year’s SuperManila Comic Con 2025. In a fun and flavorful crossover, the beloved American comic franchise is unveiling a Philippine-exclusive variant cover for Betty & Veronica and introducing a brand-new character who’s about to shake things up in Riverdale.
Picture this: Archie, Betty, and Veronica—the classic Riverdale trio—trading their usual milkshake for a tall glass of halo-halo, topped with ube ice cream and barquillos. It’s a scene bursting with Filipino flavor, and it takes center stage on a limited-edition cover created just for SuperManila Comic Con 2025. Happening on September 6 and 7 at One Ayala in Makati City, this pop culture celebration is packed with surprises, including a Pinoy-themed comic, a mysterious new villain, and the chance to meet a legendary Archie artist in person.
A Classic Scene, Now with Halo-Halo and Ube Ice Cream
If you grew up with Archie, Betty, and Veronica, you’ll remember that iconic scene of the three sharing a milkshake. Now imagine it with a Filipino twist. Instead of their usual treat, Archie’s holding a tall glass of colorful halo-halo topped with barquillos, Betty has a spoonful of ube ice cream, and Veronica is ready with a scoop of shaved ice. It’s the Riverdale trio like you’ve never seen them, sweet, vibrant, and unmistakably Pinoy.
This limited-edition cover, illustrated by legendary Archie artist Dan Parent, reimagines the classic “three on a straw” moment with a proudly Pinoy twist. The milkshake is swapped for halo-halo, while the girls hold scoops of ube ice cream and shaved ice, and Archie snacks on a barquillos stick. It’s a delightful fusion of cultures that longtime fans will want to collect, celebrate, and show off.
A Mysterious New Villain Enters Riverdale
The surprises don’t stop with the exclusive Philippine cover. Archie Comics is also introducing an all-new character making her global debut at SuperManila: Medusa Doom. With green skin and a mischievous vibe, Medusa’s ready to stir up some chaos for Archie and friends. Who is she exactly? What’s her story? That’s something fans will have to discover, but one thing’s for sure, Riverdale won’t be the same once she’s around. Whether she’s stirring up drama or casting a spell or two, Medusa is a bold new addition that offers to spice up the Archie universe.
Meet Dan Parent in Person
And yes, fans can meet the man behind the magic, Dan Parent himself will be at SuperManila throughout the weekend, meeting fans, signing comics, and sharing insights from his three-decade career. Parent is a cornerstone of the Archie legacy, having illustrated countless adventures of Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Kevin Keller, Riverdale’s first openly gay character whom he also created.
Two Collectible Editions to Grab
Collectors, get ready. The Philippine-exclusive cover will be available in two limited editions:
A trade dress version with all the classic cover details
A virgin variant showing off Dan Parent’s artwork in its full, text-free glory
Whether you’re a longtime collector or new to the Archie fandom, these editions are sure to be a highlight of your collection.
“This collaboration is a dream come true for Filipino Archie fans,” said Sandy Sansolis, co-organizer of SuperManila Comic Con. “We’re proud to deliver something fun, unique, and a little mischievous with Medusa Doom’s debut.”
Happening this September at One Ayala in Makati, SuperManila Comic Con is set to bring together thousands of fans for a weekend packed with comics, collectibles, cosplay, gaming, and all things pop culture.

Nonprofit organization Make-A-Wish® Philippines has partnered with GMG Productions for a special fundraising performance that aims to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Through a local production of the award-winning Broadway musical, “Come From Away,” the partnership aims to bring a lifetime of hope to children in need with this special night of entertainment.
Based on real events, “Come From Away” is set in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes carrying 7,000 passengers were grounded right after the September 11 attacks. Despite growing tension in the country, the local townsfolk offered their homes and hospitality to the stranded strangers, welcoming them as neighbors in their time of need.
In real life, one of the grounded planes was a Make-A-Wish flight, carrying children with critical illnesses and their families on the way to Disney World, Florida. Due to the postponement of the much-anticipated trip, the town came together to throw a party for the children, complete with mascots, music, cakes and clowns. This is just one of many stories from Gander that inspired the musical, showing how kindness can help change people’s lives.
Under the direction of Michael Williams, “Come From Away” has been adapted to a local audience, celebrating the power of community and generosity. And with its upcoming staging on June 27 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Circuit Makati, limited tickets will be available for the VIP section, with proceeds going towards bringing hope, strength and joy to the children who need it most.
“We are happy to partner with GMG Productions for this acclaimed musical, and to share the same values of kindness and generosity as the story that people will see on stage. Like the town of Gander, Newfoundland coming together to help strangers, we also believe in the power of community and wishes to help change the lives of our beneficiaries,” shared Ms. Aleah Ortiz, Executive Director of Make-A-Wish® Philippines.
In its 25th year of making wishes come true, Make-A-Wish® Philippines continues to be a beacon of hope to children with critical illnesses. On the road to achieving its goal of making 525 wishes come true this year, the foundation recently granted the wishes of Kiv (5, diagnosed with a Neuroectodermal Intraabdominal Tumor) and Betsy (13, living with neuroblastoma) to meet SB19. Make-A-Wish® Philippines has also partnered with COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises to amplify its message of hope for its 25th anniversary celebration, inviting donors, volunteers and partners to support this important milestone.Become a Wishmaker and secure your spot at the Make-A-Wish VIP section of “Come From Away” this June 27 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Circuit Makati. Tickets are available at wishes.ph, where you can learn more about how you can help transform lives, one wish at a time.
This June, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) lights up not just its iconic façade—but also the hearts of many—as it joins the global celebration of Pride Month with a breathtaking display of color, light, and meaning.
Starting June 25, the CCP Main Building transforms into a luminous canvas awash in the vibrant hues of the rainbow flag—an enduring symbol of pride, unity, and love. But it’s more than just a splash of color. This year’s lighting spectacle features a striking interplay of rainbow illumination and GOBO projections, creating patterns inspired by human fingerprints—each one unique, just like every person in the LGBTQIA+ community.
The powerful concept, developed by the CCP Production Design and Technical Services Division, draws a bold parallel between individuality and identity. “No two fingerprints are the same—and neither are our stories,” the team shares, emphasizing the personal yet universal journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and visibility that many in the LGBTQIA+ community face.
More than just a dazzling light show, the installation stands as a visual manifesto of the CCP’s unwavering commitment to artistic freedom, inclusivity, and representation. Through the years, the CCP has been a strong advocate for gender equality and safe spaces, using art as a catalyst for conversation, compassion, and change.
“This fingerprint motif is a symbol of authenticity and strength,” says CCP Artistic Director Dennis N. Marasigan, who also chairs the CCP Gender and Development Committee. “It reminds us that in our diversity lies our power, and that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.”
The installation is made possible through the dedicated efforts of CCP’s technical team, led by concept designer Jericho A. Pagana, and brought to life by the skilled Gobo Team: Shantie De Roca, Mary Grace Budol, Lucio Tapiru, John Mar Dumayas, and Alex Pineda.
Step into this radiant tribute to individuality and pride. The façade lighting runs from 6 PM to 10 PM, June 25 to 30—a weeklong celebration of resilience, equality, and the beautiful spectrum of humanity.
Award-winning singer-songwriter and OPM’s Falsetto Prince Jeff Cifra is back with a joyful new anthem. His latest single, “Ang Aking True Love,” dropped on May 9 across all major digital streaming platforms, bringing with it a fresh yet nostalgic vibe that fans will love. Best known for his expressive falsetto and smooth vocal runs, Cifra delivers a standout performance on the track, channeling a bright and buoyant energy that perfectly captures the thrill of discovering true love. It’s a refreshing follow-up to his emotional ballad “Dalawang Araw, Dalawang Buwan,” this time offering something more playful and festive.
A Joyful Ode to Love
“Ang Aking True Love” isn’t just a new single, it is a collaboration rooted in creativity and history. Co-written by Jeff Cifra, Dennis Sebastian (a former film producer), John Michael Acol, Joshua Carbajal, and Jhune Osuna, the song was originally part of the 2014 romantic film LABYU, directed by Jill Urdaneta.
Though nearly a decade has passed since it first featured in the movie, Cifra and his team have breathed new life into the track, giving it a fresh arrangement and a wider audience reach. “Ang Aking True Love” was produced by Cifra and Osuna under JNJ Studios, and officially released through Cali Sound Laboratory.
What makes the track even more special is the musical inspiration behind it. The arrangement pays tribute to the historic marching bands of Bacoor, Cavite, an iconic symbol of Filipino community life. These bands are a staple in town fiestas and festivals, rallying people together in celebration.
By weaving these cultural elements into the song’s composition, Cifra adds a distinctly Pinoy touch that resonates with listeners who grew up attending local town parades and fiestas. The result? A feel-good, proudly Filipino love song that hits the heart.
True Love, Streaming Everywhere
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Cifra’s falsetto-led tracks or just discovering his music, “Ang Aking True Love” is worth adding to your playlist. It’s now available for streaming and download on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. So go ahead, turn up the volume, feel the rhythm, and maybe even find your own “true love” along the way.
