Vanessa Kirby on an Impossible Mission in "Hobbs & Shaw"

The women of the Fast & Furious franchise have repeatedly proven themselves to be as accomplished, dedicated and resilient as their male counterparts.  

That commitment to strong female characters would become a cornerstone for Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw with the casting of Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Netflix’s The Crown) as Hattie Shaw, a highly capable, badass MI6 agent who sets the plot of the film in motion and whose bravery and commitment to her duty is peerless.

Love Alarm launches on August 22 on Netflix.

“If you’re in love, Love Alarm will ring, If you’re in love, you cannot hide your feelings.” 

As Love Alarm, an app that tells you if there’s anyone who has a crush on you within a 10-meter radius launches, it quickly becomes a social phenomenon. While everyone talks about it and uses it to test their love and popularity, Jojo is one of the few exceptions as life itself is an uphill battle every day for her. However, Jojo soon faces a love triangle situation between Sun-oh, who she is fond of, and Hye-young, who has had a huge crush on her. 

Kim Jojo, played by Kim So-hyun (Who Are You: School 2015, Hey Ghost, Let’s Fight, Radio Romance) is a girl with positive spirit despite some painful family history, and she finds a new love by using the app. Hwang Sun-oh, played by a new face Song Kang, likes Jojo, and he has it all. He has the look of a model and grew up in a rich family. Lee Hye-yeong, played by another rookie actor Jung Ga-ram, is good friends with Sun-oh, and he also likes Jojo, even before Sun-oh.

Love Alarm is based on a popular Korean webtoon of the same title by Chon Kye-young, whose other works like Unplugged Boy and Audition have a strong following in Korea.

Bulacan Schools Experience Ridgid Tools With Clean Up Drive And Games

For public schools in the Philippines especially in the provinces, facilities has been one of the biggest strife they have to ensure quality education and motivation for their learners. Ravaged by different elements like storms, heatwaves, and other deteriorating factors, plus the fact that when something needs repairs, it would take a long time or  not repaired at all.

These have been the struggle of two Bulacan schools, San Miguel-Meysulao High School and AFG Bernardino Memorial School which have been damaged by previous monsoon rains and typhoons which caused flooding and damage to their structures. Though there is preliminary clean up, the situation was not fully resolved with some parts of the schools are still submerged in floodwaters and regular cleaning could not clear it quickly.

Idris Elba, Indestructible Villain in "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw"

With every new chapter in the Fast franchise, the stakes are exponentially higher, and the villains exponentially more indomitable. For the spinoff film Hobbs & Shaw, the filmmakers needed to create a new type of nemesis unlike any in the history of the franchise—a mold-breaking adversary worthy of the two fearless heroes Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).
