United City FC to become United Clark FC by the end of 2021

United City Football Club (UCFC) has announced today its move to New Clark City which will include a name change to United Clark Football Club (UCFC). 

United City Football Club (UCFC) President and Co-founder Eric Gottschalk say, "This is a historic day for all of us within the organization as we are finally able to announce New Clark City as our permanent home. This has been in the works for several months, and we would like to thank Vivencio B. Dizon, President & CEO of BCDA (Base Conversion and Development Authority), and his team for their support in bringing professional football to the Province of Pampanga and New Clark City."

"Our move to Pampanga has a lot to do with the already existing sports mentality within the community, especially the love for football, and since the PBA has no foothold in Clark, UCFC will be the only professional sports franchise in the province."

Proptech platform Ohmyhome bares five mistakes to avoid when purchasing a home

Leading property platform Ohmyhome shares five usual
mistakes Filipinos make on their first property purchase
—choosing the wrong location, not knowing the best property
 type for one’s needs, not understanding financial options,
underestimating homebuying costs,
and working with the wrong agent.

For a lot of Filipinos, buying their first home is mostly uncharted territory. The process involves an overwhelming number of details that can prove to be challenging to be completely mindful of, and missing even just one can lead to costly mistakes sooner and later.

Here, leading property solutions company Ohmyhome shares the five usual missteps that prospective homebuyers can make and offers tips on how to avoid them. 

Mistake #1 Choosing the Wrong Location

Property experts say that real estate is a high-investment purchase based primarily on location. “We have heard too many stories about people moving into their dream homes only to find out months later that flooding occurs after a heavy downpour or internet and cellular coverage is extremely weak,” Julian Sison, marketing manager of Ohmyhome, says.

Thus, prospective homebuyers must get to know all they can about the location of their future home: is it near an earthquake fault line? Are transport hubs accessible? They should also check out upcoming developments such as new infrastructure projects and new business and job opportunities.

About Hotel Transylvania: Transformania 

Drac and the pack are back, like you’ve never seen them before in Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. Reunite with your favorite monsters for an all-new adventure that presents Drac with his most terrifying task yet. When Van Helsing’s mysterious invention, the “Monsterfication Ray," goes haywire, Drac and his monster pals are all transformed into humans, and Johnny becomes a monster! In their new mismatched bodies, Drac, stripped of his powers, and an exuberant Johnny, loving life as a monster, must team up and race across the globe to find a cure before it’s too late, and before they drive each other crazy. With help from Mavis and the hilariously human Drac Pack, the heat is on to find a way to switch themselves back before their transformations become permanent.

Producer Wovensound and rapper Ihasamic! drop genre-bending anthem “End Simulation”

"Taking a page out of Brockhampton and Tyler the Creator’s books, producer Wovensound weaves in elements of lo-fi, jazz and hip-hop to create a track that sounds like a road trip." - TimeOut Magazine

Singapore-based producer Wovensound and acclaimed hip-hop artist Ihasamic! take collaboration to an entirely new level with their new single “End Simulation”—out now on all streaming platforms worldwide via Umami Records. 

Exploring the outer limits of their signature sound with sprawling instrumentation, both artists took their love for drum n’ bass-influenced rap-rock and turned it into a colossal anthem that is palatable for the modern audience. 

“The song feels like lightspeed travel,” describes Ihasamic. “It's smooth yet heavy-hitting. The subtle and not so subtle switchups in the instrumentation make you feel the journey as if there's wind in your face while you're racing through the void of space.” 

With its skittery beats and stadium-sized ambitions, “End Simulation” brings to mind Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory with drum n’ bass flavor or a hip-hop version of Nine Inch Nails’ Hesitation Marks. But instead of screaming into the abyss, “End Simulation” openly shares the feeling of constantly racing on unstable ground, “disillusioned with the idea that everything is going to be okay.”

Autotelic lets go of its painful past with hopeful new single ‘Iwan’

LISTEN NOW: Autotelic.lnk.to/Iwan

When Filipino pop-rock bands in the early 2010s started to gain mainstream prominence, Autotelic emerged as one of the movement’s leading voices. From churning heartfelt anthems that reflect the sentiments and triumphs of the current generation to rocking the stage with unforgettable performances, the six-piece band sets the standards of what modern pop songcraft is all about: beautifully resonant at its most melancholic, and defenseless in its poignant honesty.

Fast forward to 2021, Autotelic’s music still hits home. Their work has been consistent in eloquently expressing the woes and rewards of being young, in love and emotionally wrecked, and is informed not so much by its time, but by timelessness and enduring appeal. These qualities are inevitably present on “Iwan,” Autotelic’s new single released under MCA Music Inc.
