The track debuted live last year with a FIBA 2023 halftime performance and a NIKE campaign backing it up
Filipino rapper Alex Bruce explores themes of resilience, achievement, and empowerment on her new single “SWOOSH,” released via Sony Music Entertainment.
Fit for the celebration of International Women’s Month with its uplifting message, the bass-heavy, hip-hop track was initially penned for the FIBA campaign of international activewear brand NIKE, where she served as one of its ambassadors.
According to the young rapper, “SWOOSH” is about embodying the spirit of NIKE’s iconic trademark, “Just Do It!” in every aspect of life. “It’s more than just a song in a way; it’s an anthem, a testament to the power of determination, self-belief, and seizing the moment.”
The young rapper debuted the track live last year with a halftime show performance at FIBA 2023. Alex recalls having a great time performing the song for the first time with a global audience glued to their screens and with her fellow countrymen cheering for her.
“Performing at the FIBA halftime show was ‘the’ experience,” the BLING artist fondly shares. “Not only was I thrilled to be showcasing my artistry on such a huge stage, but I was also super excited to be joined by the amazing talents of ATEAM—sixteen dancers whose energy and passion added extra flavor and dimension to the performance.”
“SWOOSH” was produced for her by GOODSON and SHAQUIRO. Alex also vouched for her frequent producers’ level of talent and range and credited their mutual respect as one of the grounding elements that made the success of the collaboration possible.
“Plus, I am friends with them, which makes the working environment more fun and conducive to ideas,” Alex Bruce shares.
“SWOOSH” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

MANILA (March 8, 2024) – Acer has been named one of the World’s Top Companies for Women in 2023, marking the second consecutive year of being recognized on the Forbes list. With this, Acer climbed from 291 to 259 and ranked 12th in the Semiconductors, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Technology Hardware & Equipment category.
Forbes surveyed 70,000 women across 37 territories in partnership with Statista, and the evaluation criteria included workplace practices, gender pay equity, handling of discrimination, and equal opportunities.
The recognition reflects Acer’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive work environment.
In the Philippines, Sue Ong-Lim is the managing director of Acer, leading a workforce of 139 employees.
She started in the company as a Sales Manager in 2009 until she was named Managing Director this year.
As a leader, Ong-Lim describes herself as business-driven, but she said she relates personally to Acer’s employers, partners, and customers.
“Acer has 34.7% and 39% market share of consumer and gaming notebooks in the Philippines, respectively. This means that more than a third of Filipino consumers who have a laptop own an Acer. The company has decades of building and strengthening brand equity through consistent sales, marketing, and customer service efforts. I see that as our edge over our competitors,” said Ong-Lim.
She attributes her success as a leader to her vision and thirst for learning. She has realized that even those at the top of their game should always continue having a learner’s mindset.
Ong-Lim said her gender doesn’t hinder her being a leader in a male-dominated industry.
“I believe in equality and inclusivity and that people, regardless of gender, are what make an organization special and successful,” she said.
