Children at the Crossroads: A Photo Exhibit

A child walking along the road of displaced families. A five year old boy in Camp Afghan by the side of his grandfather, a combatant of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces. Children praying at dawn by the side of their makeshift tents along the highway. These snapshots where captured by the lenses of the celebrated photographer, Jun De Leon, as he visited Maguindanao, days after the Mamasapano incident in January.

Entitled "Children at the Crossroads: Window to Healing in Mindanao," de Leon's photographs were put on display from October 2-4 at the Glorietta 5 Activity Center. The exhibit aims to raise awareness on the effects and impact of armed conflict in the Bangsamoro on children. It is also part of the continuing celebration of the National Peace Consciousness Month held annually every September and the National Children's Month held every October.

Celebrate reading and literacy, Star Wars-style! Join the “Star Wars Reads Day Philippines 2014” on Saturday, Oct. 11, Glorietta 5 Atrium, for a fun day of arts and crafts, gaming, storytelling, stormtroopers and more! Event starts at 1 p.m. and admission is free to the public.

Meet the characters of Star Wars! You can hang out with the clone troopers, stormtroopers, snowtroopers and biker scouts from the Philippine Outpost of the 501st Legion, and the Jedi of the Bagong Pag-Asa of the Rebel Legion. We hear some Sith Lords and bounty hunters are dropping by. And maybe a pair of feisty droids too. Bring your cameras!

MUSIC LYF: "K" for Karylle

One letter is enough to describe the very diverse and busy life of one of the most versatile artist in the country, Karylle. I could not imagine the time and effort she would go to everyday from It's Showtime, ASAP, Cinderella, and now with a new album which fans patiently waited and requested. 

At the album launched in Glorietta 5 Atrium, fans were very excited to see K (Karylle) as she also goes around the venue performing and also interacting with the crowd. The album signing also took hours with a long line of fans and the hashtag #KarylleAlbumLaunchAtG5 trended on twitter. Also stay tuned for the album review on Listening Room soon.
