TikTok’s Got Their Eyes on Puregold’s new BL series, 'Got My Eyes on You'

IN today’s world, kilig doesn’t just happen in coffee shops or chance encounters. Sometimes, it happens on your For You Page. Puregold's newest Boy's Love (BL) vertical series, Got My Eyes on You, is taking over TikTok, with its vibrant and fun episodes dominating For You Pages and commenters asking for more ("next episode, please!" or "bitin naman!").

Viewers are keeping their eyes glued to their screens, eagerly anticipating what is next on this refreshing take on the BL genre, sparking excitement among various audiences–Gen Z, Millennials, and the LGBTQIA+ community, among many others.

The official press launch held September 16 at Rampa Club turned into a celebration of love, fan energy, and Filipino creativity. Hosted by radio DJ and voice actor Papa JT, the event gave guests a deeper look into the world of Got My Eyes on You and its colorful cast.

Got My Eyes on You transports us to S-Cape Haven Villa, a picture-perfect resort where ambition, friendship, and romance collide. At its heart are two characters destined to clash, and maybe fall in love: Shawn, the mysterious guest relations manager (Esteban Mara), and Drew, the ambitious operations manager (Mikoy Morales). Their enemies-to-lovers tension is already fueling comment wars between Team Shawn and Team Drew.

The press con kicked off with Puregold Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, who spoke about the company’s intent to champion inclusivity and representation through entertainment. The spotlight then turned to the ensemble cast: Toniyuh as the balikbayan influencer guest, Victor Sy as Sir Trevor, and Hannah Lee as Moira. While not present during the event, Ady Cotoco and Darwin Yu made waves with their roles as wealthy fashionista Kirk and events coordinator Wilfred, set to be an intriguing pair to watch out for in the series.

Adding to the pride of the day was the announcement that Got My Eyes on You was brought to life by Puregold CinePanalo film festival graduates Director Dizelle Masilungan and Director of Photography Lloyd Garciano, joined by Assistant Director Ram Tolentino and Production Designer Migo Morales. This only shows that Filipino talent, when nurtured, shines brilliantly.

DigiPlus strengthens player protection with surety bond for BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the country’s premier digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, today announced a landmark partnership with Philippine First Insurance Co. Inc. (PhilFirst), the country’s first domestic insurance company. 

Together, they have introduced the Philippines’ first-ever surety bond program for online gaming players – setting a new benchmark in player protection. The program takes effect immediately.

 

For players, this means more peace of mind every time they log in, as long as their eKYC (electronic Know-Your-Customer) information is up to date and they continue to play within the platform’s guidelines. Whether it’s a casual gamer or a loyal fan celebrating a big win, they can enjoy BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone knowing their wallets and balances are even better protected. 

Jasper Vicencio (President, AB Leisure Exponent, Inc.); Eusebio Tanco (Chairman, DigiPlus Interactive Corp.); Ana Evasco (Chief Operations Officer, PhilFirst)

Through this initiative, eligible players benefit from an added financial safeguard. The surety bond protects player balances of up to ₱1 million per player, without requiring customers to purchase a separate policy.

 

“DigiPlus is proud to be the first in the industry to roll out this level of consumer protection,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco. “We are committed to putting our players first. With this surety bond, they can play confidently on BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, knowing that their funds are safeguarded.”

 Jasper Vicencio (President, AB Leisure Exponent, Inc.); Atty. Kristine delos Reyes (Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, DigiPlus Interactive Corp.); Eusebio Tanco (Chairman, DigiPlus Interactive Corp.); Celeste Jovenir (VP of Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, and Sustainability); Ana Evasco (Chief Operations Officer, PhilFirst); Dennis Yaw (Head of Offline Operations, DigiPlus Interactive Corp.)

How does the DigiPlus surety bond work?

●   Eligibility: Players must be eKYC-verified, have made at least one successful deposit, and be in good standing within the platform’s guidelines.

●   Coverage: The surety bond safeguards player wallets and balances up to ₱1 million per player.

●   Activation: Protection is in place immediately and applies automatically for all eligible players across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone.

This latest measure strengthens DigiPlus’ commitment to reliable customer service and protection, adding the surety bond to its 24/7 customer support and 130+ physical BingoPlus stores nationwide, which already serve as convenient and trusted outlets for players.

With the addition of the surety bond, DigiPlus continues to raise industry standards – delivering not only engaging and innovative gaming offerings but also a stronger guarantee of trust, security, and peace of mind for its customers.

Eraserheads Electric Fun Music Festival Postpones 2025 Edition, Targets Q1 2026 Relaunch

WEU, the organizer of Eraserheads Electric Fun Music Festival (EFMF), today announced the postponement of the festival’s upcoming edition, previously scheduled for October 18, 2025, citing evolving conditions that make it impossible to proceed as planned.

The postponement follows a convergence of political instability, economic uncertainty, and climate-related concerns that have directly affected operational capacity and planning.

Despite these challenges, EFMF reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a transformative music experience. Organizers are now targeting the first quarter of 2026 for the festival’s relaunch, assuming no further unforeseen developments arise.

Ticket Refunds and Next Steps

All ticket holders will receive full refunds, with detailed instructions to be released shortly through EFMF’s official channels.

Returning with Renewed Purpose

Dream It, Do It: BINI and Students #GoForIt with Globe

GLOBE is creating spaces where ambition meets opportunity, offering internships, mentorship, grants, volunteering, and youth-led events that spark inspiration. Globe recently launched their #GoForIt campaign with BINI, pairing eight student dreamers with the eight members of BINI, not just as stars on a pedestal, but as peers who know the same late nights, doubts, and pressures.

Together, they showed that dreams come in all shapes and sizes, whether it’s becoming a photographer, digital illustrator, model, journalist, scientist, game designer, or performer. From rocking the stage to creating the next big breakthrough, every path is worth pursuing.

 

“Globe not only connects people through a network, but through communities as well,” says Clareene, a Polytechnic University of the Philippines  student dreaming of becoming a digital artist. 

 

One Beat, Many Dreams

BINI knows what it’s like to chase a dream that feels out of reach. From long training days to topping the charts, they have faced the same doubts and roadblocks as many students today.

“Kahit din may mga doubts kami nung una, since Globe believed in us, that allowed us to believe in ourselves,” shares BINI Aiah.

“‘Di kailangan magmadali para magwagi, buhay ay ‘di karera,” adds BINI Maloi, reminding everyone that life and dreams are not a race against anyone else, but a personal journey you take at your own pace.

These moments with BINI show that they’re not just stars, but young women who once dreamed like today’s students. Whether in music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth stands: no matter the dream, hold on to it, and go for it.

 

Globe’s Game Plan for Student Success

“It’s a lasting commitment, this is Globe’s promise to give young people the tools, skills, and support to turn ambition into achievement.  We empower today’s youth through the Globe Student Program, which connects classroom learning with real-world experiences. Students can explore opportunities to join special Globe events, volunteer initiatives, and exclusive student raffles designed to inspire and engage,” says Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer.

Beyond experiences, the program also unlocks Student Rewards on the GlobeOne app, where exciting perks await. From partners like Ayala Museum, Museo Pambata, beep™ card, Timezone, Jollibee, and more, students can enjoy discounts, treats, and learning experiences tailored just for them.

Simply search “Student Specials” on the Globe Rewards page in the GlobeOne app to discover offers tailored to students. Whether through reliable connectivity, learning platforms, digital tools, or mentorship, the challenge isn’t being alone, but being ready to Go For It!

The Rhythm of Ambition

Like BINI’s music, Globe’s message speaks to Filipino student youth from all walks of life. There is no single path to success, it starts with courage, grows with persistence, and flourishes when the right support is within reach. That is why #GoForIt is not just a message but a movement for every student, dreamer, and future leader to take their shot.

 

Different Dreams. Same Drive. #GoForIt with Globe.
