Open Endings is a film that deserves a spot on every moviegoer’s watchlist.
At the center of the story is Hannah Gabrielle Lopez (Janella Salvador), whose journey toward self-discovery and emotional healing resonates strongly with anyone who has ever struggled to move on. Janella shared her admiration for the role, saying, “Hannah is someone who’s learning that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay. What I love about her is her courage to embrace uncertainty and still choose happiness.” Her heartfelt performance brings warmth, vulnerability, and authenticity to a character many viewers will instantly connect with.

Meanwhile, Jasmine Curtis-Smith shines as Charito Lyn “Charlie” de Guzman, a strong-willed yet compassionate woman navigating the complexities of adulthood. Speaking about her character, Jasmine said, “Charlie is the friend who always tries to keep everyone together, but she’s also carrying her own emotional battles. I think many people will see themselves in her.” Her nuanced portrayal beautifully captures the challenges and triumphs of balancing personal dreams with meaningful relationships.

Adding even more depth to the ensemble is Klea Pineda as Marikit “Kit” Pineda, whose vibrant personality and emotional honesty make her one of the film’s most memorable characters. Klea described Kit as “fearless when it comes to love, but still vulnerable when it comes to loss. Playing her reminded me that being strong doesn’t mean you never get hurt.” Through Kit’s journey, audiences are reminded that growth often comes from embracing life’s unexpected turns.

Completing the quartet is Leanne Mamonong as Amihan “Mihan” Villanueva, whose quiet strength and unwavering loyalty serve as the emotional anchor of the group. Reflecting on her role, Leanne shared, “Mihan values the people she loves above everything else. Her story is about learning to choose herself while still caring deeply for others.” Her performance adds sincerity and heart to a film already overflowing with genuine emotion and relatable moments.

What makes Open Endings truly special is its celebration of friendships that endure despite life’s twists and turns. Rather than focusing solely on romantic relationships, the film highlights the importance of chosen family—the people who stand by us through heartbreaks, career struggles, personal growth, and life’s countless uncertainties.

With its witty dialogue, touching moments, and outstanding chemistry among its four lead actresses, the movie offers a powerful reminder that endings are not always final; sometimes, they are simply the beginning of something even more meaningful.

As Open Endings opens in cinemas nationwide on June 10, 2026, audiences can look forward to a film that is equal parts funny, emotional, inspiring, and uplifting. Whether you’re watching with friends, family, or someone special, this beautifully crafted story promises laughter, tears, and valuable life lessons that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Don’t miss the chance to experience one of the year’s most heartfelt films—a celebration of friendship, resilience, and the endless possibilities that come with embracing life’s open endings.

Rakuten Viki, the global streaming destination for Asian entertainment, is celebrating Pride Month with two new BL titles– Love Class 3, the latest chapter in its beloved campus romance franchise, and The Lie We Lived In, a gripping mystery thriller romance– both now streaming on Viki across the Americas, Europe, Oceania, Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia, including the Philippines and Thailand.

The latest installment of the popular Korean BL franchise Love Class follows aspiring idols navigating friendship, ambition, and romance amid the pressures of the entertainment industry. Following the success of its first two seasons and strong audience reception in markets such as Japan, Love Class 3 expands the series with a fresh story that speaks directly to Southeast Asia’s passionate K-pop and BL fan communities.

The series follows Hyun Jae (Sae Byeol), a trainee who successfully debuts after competing on an idol survival program, and Soo An (Seo Yi Han), whose journey takes a different path. Years after being separated by their careers, the two reunite through a professional project and must navigate lingering feelings in an industry where personal relationships often come under intense scrutiny.

With K-pop continuing to shape youth culture across Southeast Asia, Love Class 3 offers a relatable coming-of-age story that explores identity, ambition, friendship, and love through the experiences of young performers chasing their dreams.

The series also marks a milestone for Korean BL productions as the first Korean BL drama to launch simultaneously in more than 190 countries worldwide, reflecting the growing global appetite for Korean BL storytelling.

Adding to its regional appeal is the inclusion of Thai actor Panutuch Saelee alongside South Korean performers Lee Woo Jin, Seo Yi Han, and Sae Byeol of K-pop group WAKER, who makes his acting debut in the series. The cross-cultural cast reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of Asian entertainment and offers audiences in Southeast Asia a familiar connection within a globally streamed production. 

Where Love Class 3 leans into coming-of-age longing, The Lie We Lived In is a genre-defying BL thriller that weaves mystery, crime, and forbidden romance into one pulse-pounding story. When contract killer Seo I Do (Kim Seung Beom) is ordered to hold his target captive, the arrival of an unexpected houseguest throws everything off plan. 

Forced into a week of tense cohabitation under a stolen identity, I Do finds himself in an increasingly dangerous game — especially when he discovers the cheerful stranger getting closer to him is actually a detective hunting the truth. I Do is forced to confront an impossible choice: complete the mission or risk everything for someone who could destroy him. Starring Kim Seung Beom alongside debut performers Kim Gyeong Min and Lee Jeong Ho, the series marks a bold arrival of fresh talent on screen.

“This June, Rakuten Viki marks Pride Month by spotlighting stories that celebrate love and belonging. The release of Love Class 3 and The Lie We Lived In is part of that celebration — a reminder that stories of identity, connection, and community resonate across every border,” said Karen Paek, Vice President of Marketing at Rakuten Viki. “With these new titles, viewers will find characters navigating the challenges of pursuing their dreams while discovering who they are and the connections that matter most to them. We are excited to bring this new season to fans as part of our commitment to making diverse Asian stories accessible to global audiences.”

Both titles are available to stream on Viki in the Philippines and Thailand — joining a growing slate of BL favorites including Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars, Sammy’s Children’s Day, and Feel What You Feel.

There are comebacks—and then there’s the kind that keeps multiplying by fan demand.

A1 are set to return to the Philippines this October 2026, and what was already shaping up to be a two-city pop celebration has now grown even bigger with the announcement of a third show in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

The newly added stop lands on 18 October 2026 (Sunday) at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex, completing a tightly packed Philippine run that now spans Cebu, Manila, and South Luzon. Tickets go on sale, June 15, 12 noon onwards.

The expanded itinerary comes ahead of what is expected to be one of the group’s most emotional and high-energy Asia visits in recent years, following continued strong fan response to their previous Philippine tours.

Across the dates, A1—Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Ben Adams—will revisit the songs that defined their rise during the late 1990s pop era, a catalogue that continues to resonate deeply with Filipino audiences decades later.

Expect live renditions of signature tracks including “Like a Rose,” “Everytime,” “Heaven by Your Side,” and “Same Old Brand New You,” each performance reinforcing the enduring bond between the group and their Philippine fanbase alongside new music.

Their return follows the success of their earlier Valentine’s run in 2025, which drew strong turnout across key cities and reaffirmed their status as one of the most supported international pop acts in the country.

ABOUT THE TOUR

A1’s continued return to the Philippines highlights a rare and enduring artist-fan relationship that has spanned more than two decades. Across multiple tours and repeated sold-out shows, the group’s presence in the country has evolved from international pop appeal into a sustained cultural connection with Filipino audiences.

Beloved superstars and royal box-office couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera reunite for Star Cinema’s upcoming family drama “Remember” and head to Quebec to begin filming the movie.

The film is a joint production of Star Cinema, APT Entertainment, AgostoDos Pictures, and Regal Entertainment. It also reunites the real-life couple with award-winning director Mae Cruz Alviar, who helmed their blockbuster hit “Rewind,” one of the highest-grossing Filipino films of all time.

Before their departure, Dingdong expressed excitement about working once again with the same team behind “Rewind.”

“Ready na kami umalis papuntang Quebec. Sisimulan na namin ang isang espesyal na pelikula. After three years nung huli kaming nagsama at nandun na si Direk Mae, inaantay na kami at uumpisahan na namin ang pelikulang ‘Remember.’ It feels good to work with the same team behind ‘Rewind,’ plus more. Nakakatuwa na nare-reminisce namin lahat ng magagandang nangyari. We’re just so excited to work on this project,” said Dingdong.

Marian, meanwhile, said the timing felt right for their reunion film.

“Actually kanina nag-uusap kami on the way here, parang sabi nga namin ilang years na ba? Three years na pala. Siguro ito na yung tamang panahon ulit gawin ito. At the same time, yung kuwento siguradong ma-i-in love sila sa ‘Remember,'” she said.

Following the success of “Rewind,” Dingdong and Marian team up once again in “Remember,” which is set to premiere in cinemas worldwide in 2026.

Singer-songwriter Trisha Denise embraces the beauty of taking things one step at a time in love in her new single, “‘Di Minamadali,” featuring Thyro Alfaro and Soc Villanueva.

Co-written by Trisha, Thyro, and Soc, the soul-R&B track captures the excitement of falling for someone while learning to appreciate every moment as a relationship gradually blossoms. With its warm melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the song serves as a reminder that meaningful connections are built through patience, trust, and genuine understanding.

Known for her gift in songwriting, the StarPop artist began writing songs at just 11 years old. Over the years, she has penned tracks for some of ABS-CBN Music’s biggest artists, including Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Pops Fernandez, BINI, BGYO, Belle Mariano, Janella Salvador, and many others.

In 2021, Trisha released her debut album, “Piece of the Puzzle,” followed by the EP “Simula ng Wakas.”

Last year, she collaborated with Belle Mariano and Cesca on the friendship anthem “Wala? Nandiyan” and released “Bakit Naman Hindi?” as part of the soundtrack of “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.”

Trisha also joined Angela Ken’s “Panahon” busking tour at SM Southmall, where she performed before a crowd of more than a thousand fans.

Listen to Trisha Denise’s “‘Di Minamadali” featuring Thyro Alfaro and Soc Villanueva, now available on all digital streaming platforms. For more details, follow StarPop on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

Ever wondered how your favorite players can keep playing on the field for long periods? If you have ever watched a soccer match and wondered what separates a player who looks sharp in the 89th minute from one who fades after 60, the answer is rarely raw fitness. More often, it is what that player ate, and when. The what and when aspects of food intake play a big role in how one’s body can keep playing on the field.

Director of Sports Performance and Nutrition Education for Herbalife, Dr. Krissy Ladner reveals how the most important conversations she’s had with professional soccer players are not about supplements or superfoods. They are about timing. With 15% of Filipinos engaging in active sports, the key to levelling up one’s game might just be in the timing of food intake. The three and a half hours before kickoff are what I call the countdown — and they decide how a player feels, thinks and moves once the whistle goes. 

The good news is that the same countdown works for any player, at any level, as long as you understand the principles behind it. Just like elite players, you can scale the following principles to your own game, whether it’s on a court, a field, or a track.

Three and a half hours before kickoff: the Hard Performance Plate 

This is your last real meal before the match, and its job is to top off your energy stores. Muscles and the liver store carbohydrates as glycogen, and glycogen is the fuel your body reaches for first during high-intensity work like sprinting, jumping and changing direction. If those stores are low, you will feel it — not just in your legs, but in your mood, your focus and your decision-making on the ball. 

Pre-match meals are built as a Hard Performance Plate: half the plate carbohydrates, a quarter fruits and vegetables, a quarter lean protein, and 16 to 32 fluid ounces of fluids alongside it. Think rice or pasta with chicken and roasted vegetables, or a rice bowl with grilled fish and fruit on the side. Add the protein to help you feel satisfied and delay hunger during the match. 

Skip anything high in fat or fiber this close to kickoff — they slow digestion and may cause stomach distress. Same for spicy or acidic foods, which can trigger indigestion or heartburn just when you need to be running at full tilt. 

One hour before kickoff: the top-up 

This is where a lot of players go wrong. They either eat too much and feel heavy, or they eat nothing and start the match with a dropping blood sugar level. The goal here is a small, easy-to-digest top-up: 30 to 60 grams of simple carbohydrates, some electrolytes and 8 to 12 fluid ounces of fluids. A sports drink and a banana or a carbohydrate gel can do the job. So can a small granola bar and water. 

Keep it familiar. If you have not eaten it in training, do not eat it before a match. This is not the time to be testing new foods. 

The myth that will not die: carb-loading 

As much as Filipinos love rice, you do not need to carb-load the night before unless your competition runs longer than two to three hours. A 90-minute soccer match does not qualify. A Sunday morning pickup game definitely does not. The big pasta dinner the night before has become a ritual for a lot of recreational players, but for most people it is not doing what they think it is doing. Eat a normal, balanced dinner and focus on your fueling on match day.  

If you are playing a tournament or multiple matches in a day, that changes the equation — but for a single 90-minute match, the countdown is what matters. Eating consistently daily is the best way to ensure that you have adequate carbohydrate stores. 

Elite to everyday 

Even if your matches or training happen only at weekends, the principles are the same whether you are starting for a pro club or playing a Sunday league match at the park. Your body runs on the same fuel. A weekend player’s plate will be smaller than a pro’s, but the foundation — carbs, protein, fruits and vegetables, fluids — is the same. The timing — three and a half hours out, then one hour out — is identical. 

And the most important rule of all, the one every elite player I have worked with lives by, is the no-surprises rule: never try anything new on match day. Test your fueling plan in training. See how your stomach handles it. See how your legs feel in the 75th minute. Once you know what works, stick with it. 

The 90 minutes belongs to the players. The 3.5 hours before belongs to you. 

1. Longing for someone who feels like home in “Stay With You” by Enzo

“Stay With You” by rising OPM band Enzo is a heartfelt track about holding on to a love that feels like home. The song explores the lingering ache of being apart from someone special, while keeping faith that the bond remains strong despite time and distance.

3. Finding a home in a busy city in “Cubao” by Bed Potato

“Cubao” by indie alternative rock band Bed Potato is a tribute to more than just a bustling city district—it’s a celebration of freedom, belonging, and connection. Inspired by Cubao’s reputation as a place where people from all walks of life intersect, the song reflects the idea of finding a sense of home regardless of one’s background or identity. The track was composed by Orly Van Andre Putong and produced by Angelo Zipagan.

4. Yearning love in “Lihim” by Ched Valencia

“Lihim” by Ched Valencia emerged from moments of reflection and sleepless nights during the 2020 pandemic.

The track was produced by Wahly Zenit.

5. Unwavering devotion in “Noong At Hanggang Ngayon” by Izza Escueta

Izza Escueta’s “Noon at Hanggang Ngayon” is a heartfelt ode to a love that remains constant through the years. Co-written by Izza and Ryan Sarmiento, who also produced the track, the song traces the journey from youthful admiration to enduring commitment, capturing the warmth and sincerity of a timeless Filipino romance. Its music video features former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemates Inigo Jose and Reich Alim, bringing the song’s tender story to life.

6. A lovely nightmare in “Magbabalik sa Panaginip” by Erghyll

Erghyll officially begins his journey as a recording artist with his first single, “Magbabalik sa Panaginip.” Written by Erghyll and produced by Miguel Haleco, the pop-alternative track delves into the complexities of a relationship caught in a cycle of conflict, heartbreak, and lingering love. The song serves as the key track of his debut extended play (EP) “Isang Magandang Bangungot” released under StarPop.
