All is set for
the biggest League of Legends (LoL) fan event in Southeast Asia to celebrate
one of the most played games in the world and its ever-expanding community in
the Philippines!
Globe and Garena
promise to make Conquerors Manila 2019, which is set to unfold on October 25-27
at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, more engaging not only for League gamers but also to the entire sports community as they watch, cheer and
participate in several events designed to make their experience unique and
unforgettable.
Select
celebrities, bloggers and influencers will also take to the limelight as they
battle in a friendly competition-for-a-cause in the highly-anticipated “Celebrity
Showmatch.”
Fans, on the
other hand, are welcome to join the cosplay competition and visit the gaming
merch store and various exhibits. As early as now, fans can purchase tickets to
Conquerors Manila 2019 at all SM Ticket outlets with a 20% discount
given if fans buy tickets for a two day pass, instead of one day, to watch the competitions. The discount will be given until September 22
or until supplies last.
“Esports is one
platform Globe is truly excited about. It's huge —and still growing—the global
fan base of this enormous entertainment platform can’t be ignored. It is due to this why one of our major
thrusts is to develop strategic partnerships with the best game developers and
publishers in the world like Garena and Riot to make the game more accessible
to everyone in the Philippines. And with
faster connectivity provided by Globe, gaming will be more exciting and
competitions will be more challenging,” explains Ernest Cu, Globe President and
CEO.
“Fan acceptance
last year was truly overwhelming so we decided to change the format to
celebrate LoL fans themselves and their huge contributions to the growth of the
game in the country in particular and the acceptance of esports in general,”
Nikko Acosta, Globe SVP for Content Business Group and Product Management,
says.
Jamie Lewin, Head
of Strategic Partnerships for SEA – Riot Games, reveals how the Philippines has been one of the most
high-performing markets in the region for Riot Games.
“Our focus in
terms of gaming market development is really the Philippines, and we’re looking
at how Filipinos will look at esports , especially now that it is included in
the SEA Games Calendar this year. We’re truly excited about our prospects,” he
adds.
Aside from the
PHP 3.5 million+ in prizes up from grab across competitions and activities
during the two-day event, Conquerors Manila 2019 is also aiming to break last year’s attendance records were more than 16,000 fans trooped to watch the
competitions live.
“We are honoured to have Globe as our partner in growing the esports
audience in the Philippines. The Philippines remains one of the strongest and
most competitive countries in the global esports arena. Our partnership with
Globe is fully in line with our mission of building stronger gaming communities,
and ensures that we continue to discover and develop more esports talents who
can compete at the highest level” says Jason Ng, Garena’s Vice President of
Strategic Partnerships.
Globe’s
commitment to esports began through its groundbreaking LTE network that raised
mobile and broadband gaming to the next level. This was followed by the
company’s strategic partnerships with Riot, developer of League of Legends;
Garena, Philippine publisher of League of Legends; and market leader Mineski,
which led to the formation of Team Liyab, the company’s official esports team
as well as a multi-platform gaming league called the Philippine Pro Gaming
League (PPGL) .

The country’s favorite young artist and model
Nadine Lustre is the new face of the Philippines’ leading mobile wallet, GCash.
The multi-awarded actress headlines GCash’s “What
Can’t You Do?” campaign to power the dreams of young adults who constantly
want to do more, to expand possibilities, and to achieve beyond their own
expectations.
“Nadine is the perfect fit for GCash because
she represents the true aspirations of young adults and is at that point in her
life where taking charge of your finances is becoming more important. She shows
how young adults can be independent and take charge of their own lives, and
with the help of GCash , “What Can’t You Do?” means so much more,” Chris
Manguera, Chief Marketing Officer at Mynt, which runs GCash, said.
After starting out as a singer in a pop band,
Lustre evolved to become a much-sought-after actress on TV, with her primetime
hits "On The Wings of Love" (2015) and
"Till I Met You" (2016).
The
25-year-old actress has fared as well on the big screen, winning the Best
Actress awards from Young Critics Circle, FAMAS Awards and the Gawad Urian
Awards in 2019 for hit movie , “Never Not
Love You.” Her latest film, “Indak,” a dance musical movie, shows Lustre’s
flexibility as an actress.
Early this year, one of world’s biggest fast
fashion brands, H&M, launched Lustre as its first Filipino ambassador. The
actress, named by a top magazine as Sexiest Woman in 2017, has her own line of
swimwear with H&M.
“She has built her brand and can create the
image of a lifestyle that everyone will want to follow. We hope for that to
happen with GCash as well,” Manguera said. “We also want to activate her big
fan base to help spread the word of financial inclusion and empowerment.”
Like Lustre , who has won over the entire
country and has kept everyone’s
attention throughout the years by relentlessly adapting to change, GCash
continues to evolve not just as digital platform but as a lifestyle brand.

I sometimes find myself flirting with the idea of going someplace far whenever anxiety or stress kicks in. Traveling heals and I often dream of traveling to another country where I can immerse myself in different cultures, traditions, learn different languages, try different foods and get lost. But of course, I can't always do that "out of the country escape" but I can always do that out of town escape hehehe tricky eh?. The thing is the Philippines is blessed with beautiful places, just imagine 7,641 islands waiting to be explored and just minutes or hours away.
JULY 31, 2019--CIGNAL TV,
the country’s no. 1 Pay TV Provider, formally launched the latest addition to
its exclusive lineup of news channels, ONE
PH.
The all-Filipino news channel is the third Cignal channel under the One
branding, complementing One News, the English-language news channel and its sports
channel One Sports.
“One PH furthers our commitment to deliver reliable news and public
affairs programs that matter most to Filipinos,” says Sienna G. Olaso , Cignal
TV Vice President of Channel Management.
“True to our goal to be ‘Ang Boses ng Pinagkakaisang Pilipinas’ One PH
will be home to news programs that inform and educate, talk shows that inspire
and entertain, and public service programs that will provide our fellow
Filipinos a venue where they can seek help for their problems,” Olaso added.
Premenstrual
Syndrome or PMS is a bunch of symptoms that even the strongest women would
usually face several days before that time of the month. Feeling totally
frazzled and waking up with a different kind of fatigue is a reality, a zit on
the nose that wasn’t there a night before. And oh, those tender breasts plus
the soreness and heaviness. Worst, you can’t stop thinking about that fudgy
chocolate cake you saw on Instagram!
