We Got delves into the unconscious with reggae anthem “Cindy”

Eight-piece reggae collective We Got serves another sun-dappled jam in the form of new single “Cindy”—out today on all digital platforms worldwide.

Delving into the unconscious with tropical instrumentation and laid-back horn arrangement, We Got gives us a taste of Jamaica on this swinging love anthem about an imaginary character that exists in the minds of those who choose to dream about her. 

In a statement shared by the band’s vocalist Mack Dela Cruz, “Cindy” was described as a song about people who daydream, and whose dream felt like an endless loop. “There are sequences that happen over and over. This song is dedicated to those who want to have something that could give them ‘inspiration’ even though they know their dreams haven't been realized yet.”

Transformative power of 5G seen to impact PH education, health and entertainment sectors

Globe Telecom believes that making 5G technology available and accessible to more customers all over the Philippines will spur further the evolution of the Filipino digital lifestyle especially in the areas of education, health and entertainment sectors.

Even before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential benefits of 5G technology have been expected to change how people communicate, conduct  business and transform lifestyles, including delivery of services from e-business to e-government.  

Nine months into the global pandemic has pushed people to adopt and even trust  technology today as an enabler of life choices. 5G is expected to revolutionize distance learning by having more interactive ways of teaching, and in future, using artificial intelligence for continuous learning.  With 5G, education is expected to take another turn in the new normal with more than 27 million students and  teachers facing the challenges of online learning for the first time in the country’s history.

Bangkok Music City, reimagined for virus-ridden 2020, announces ace fest lineup

There’s no stopping the Bangkok Music City train. With cautious (but no less adventurous) tack, the Thailand-based festival-conference is refashioning what it does best for a COVID-19 year. The same elements that have endeared BMC to its supporters are still very much around, but in lieu of its signature staging at creative district Chareonkrung, it will be livestreamed on November 28-29, 2020—for Thailand-based showcase talents at least—from co-working hub Glowfish Sathorn. “I think that the COVID-19 pandemic has paved the way for virtual music events, whether conferences, concerts, gigs or festivals,” says festival co-founder Piyapong ‘Py’ Muenprasertdee. “Even though physical is still the best way to experience live music, virtual solutions help make things more cost-effective and efficient,” he adds.

BRIA Homes continues to show resilience amid the challenges of 2020

Filipinos dream of moving into affordable houses 
and lots in residential projects that offer security and stability.

As the year 2020 rolls towards the end, we look back at the incredibly challenging times our country—and people—have endured in the past months: from the phreatic eruption of Taal Volcano to the ongoing Coronavirus-2019 pandemic to the series of super typhoons that recently ravaged regions that stood in their path.

However, despite the global contagion causing major disruptions in businesses and industries, we are gratified to note that some sectors have readily bounced back, with a few finding new opportunities in the crisis.

The Philippine real estate industry is one. Reports from the ground disclose that homebuilders that quickly adjusted to marketing innovations have remained relatively stable. Industry resilience is likewise credited to low interest rates and the Filipinos’ constant pursuit of their dream home. This affirms that residential properties are secure, tangible assets that are resistant to the whims of the times, including pandemics and weather disturbances.
