OPM P-POP Continues To Rise With Puregold at the Philippine Arena with OPM Con 2025

From the success of last year's Nasa Atin ang Panalo concert in Araneta Coliseum, Puregold once again continues to elevate OPM / P-POP with staging a bigger concert at the Philippine Arena with Puregold’s OPM Con 2025.. It had a very solid line up of the biggest and hottest artists  like BINI, Flow G, G22, KAIA, SB19, Skusta Clee, and SunKissed Lola.

The move to a bigger venue was from the demand by fans to experience this one-of-a-kind collaboration of hit makers which some have also sold-out concerts and busy schedules for their tours and promotions. It is also the venue to have them all in one of the biggest stages in the world singing and dancing together.

About “The Cat in the Hat”

Meet the Cat in the Hat you don’t know! In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, “The Cat in the Hat” comes to the big screen in his animated theatrical feature film debut, an all-new, epic adventure with an edge, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme. Doing what he does best, the Cat – voiced by Bill Hader – spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature and singularly irreverent way, transporting them and audiences on a fantastical journey through a world they’ve never seen before. 

In the film, our hero takes on his toughest assignment yet for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC): to cheer Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town. Known for taking things too far, this could be this agent of chaos’s last chance to prove himself… or lose his magical hat!

A Lost Love Story Returns: Japanese Silent Film Screening at UPFI Cine Adarna + A Chance to Win JFM Limited Edition Merch

A love story nearly erased. A voice that brings it back to life.

The International Silent Film Festival Manila continues its celebration of cinema history and live performance with a special screening of The Scent of Pheasant’s Eye: An Episode from the Tales of Flowers, directed by Jirô Kawate. This rare 1930s Japanese silent film is adapted from the work of Yoshiya Nobuko—one of Japan’s earliest openly queer women writers and a trailblazer of shōjo and yuri literature. In a time when stories of women loving women were rarely told, Yoshiya wrote them into existence, offering narratives that still feel quietly revolutionary.

This revival is told in the tradition of how silent films once were—through the voice of a benshi. Nanako Yamauchi, one of only around 20 active benshi remaining in Japan, will perform a live narration that blends storytelling, performance, and emotion, bringing this nearly forgotten film vividly to life.

July 2 - Jurassic World Rebirth (Universal Pictures)

Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend

Directed by: Gareth Edwards

Five years after the events of “Jurassic World Dominion,” the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
