Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Nicolas Cage levels up again.

Nicolas Cage has truly made his mark in cinema, moving effortlessly between blockbuster action, indie dramas, and even quirky comedies. It seems there’s nothing he can’t do, and he proves this once again with Arcadian, a tense thriller set in a terrifying, monster-ridden future.

In Arcadian, the end of the world is just the beginning for Paul (Cage). Our first glimpse is of him in a desperate escape from what seems to be the end of civilization, carrying his two infant boys with him. Fifteen years later, Paul and his now teenage sons Thomas (Maxwell Jenkins) and Joseph (Jaeden Martell), live a meager existence on a remote farm. By day, they scavenge for resources and strengthen their defense, but nightfall brings a relentless onslaught from bloodthirsty photophobic monsters.

When Thomas ventures out after dark, a series of events unfolds that shatters their fragile safety. The family must then band together, using their wits and limited resources to confront not only the nightly terrors but also the tensions and secrets that threaten to tear them apart. 

Directed by Benjamin Brewer, Arcadian throws you into a terrifying world of creature horror, but its heart lies in the fierce bonds of family. As Paul, Cage delivers a grounded performance as a father willing to go to great lengths to protect his sons in an unrecognizable world. Cage brings emotional depth to the role, reminding audiences why he’s one of the most versatile actors of his generation. 

In an interview with Collider, Nicholas Cage explained how the film’s merging of his two favorite genres and its reflection of his own family dynamics fueled his interest in working on it: “It’s very simple really. Two of my favorite genres, independently spirited family drama, you know, grew up watching East of Eden, Kazan, Ordinary People, Redford, and then science fiction horror in that category, in this case particularly specifically science fiction. If you mash those two and the…the dynamic of the family, which is a father and two boys, which is largely what my family dynamic was, because sadly my mother couldn’t be around as much as we would have liked her to have been around. So my father did all the heavy lifting, so I wanted to tell a story about that family dynamic and then mash it up with science fiction and see what we could come up with, and I’m happy with these results.”

Explosive thrills and deadly creatures … .This May 30, survival is the only rule. Watch Arcadian on Lionsgate Play.

SM Supermalls is proud to partner with HOPE and the Department of Education for Generation Hope—a collaborative campaign that transforms everyday consumer purchases into tangible support for Filipino students by helping build classrooms across the country.

Launched on May 26, 2025, at Samsung Hall in SM Aura, the initiative brings together a coalition of brands, including SM Supermalls, BDO, Aivee, Carmen’s Best, Grab, Penshoppe, and Sunnies, united in a shared goal: to bridge the country’s classroom gap.

In addition to SM Foundation’s long-standing efforts—having built 110 school buildings with 374 classrooms—SM Supermalls is further extending its commitment to education by supporting Generation HOPE’s Build a Classroom Project, which aims to construct 10 new public school classrooms, funded in part through the sale of specially branded SM Bottled Water. Every purchase directly contributes to the classroom fund—empowering customers to be part of a nationwide solution.

“At SM, we believe that investing in education is investing in the future,” said Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls. “Through this partnership, we hope to empower the next generation of Filipino students by creating safe, inclusive spaces where they can learn, grow, and thrive.”

Start making an impact today by picking up a bottle at any SM mall and be part of the movement to empower education, one sip at a time.

Manila Water has successfully completed significant operational enhancements at the Olandes Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Marikina City, repurposing its unutilized capacity for Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) treatment. This initiative underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and compliance with updated effluent standards.

The P129.31-million BNR operational adjustment project, completed in November 2024, focused on optimizing the Olandes STP in removing ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates—substances that can contribute to ecological degradation when discharged untreated. By improving the BNR process, Manila Water is taking substantial steps to minimize the environmental impact of effluent discharge into nearby bodies of water.

Key enhancements implemented as part of the operational modification include replacing the existing Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) process with a more advanced Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) configuration. This upgrade involved several critical components such as structural modification and repair of tanks, construction of a chemical house for the chemical dosing system, installation of submersible pumps and mixers for improved distribution of treatment chemicals, and installation of a control panel and instrumentation for better monitoring and management of treatment processes.

With a current capacity of 10,360 MLD and a daily average inflow of 5,000 MLD, the Olandes STP serves over 40,000 residents across Barangays Cinco Hermanos, Industrial Valley, Sitio Olandes, Blue Ridge, and Libis in Marikina and Quezon City.

“The completion of the Olandes STP enhancements marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to protect the environment and ensure compliance with stringent effluent standards. By adopting advanced nutrient removal technology, we are not only improving the quality of wastewater treatment but also safeguarding the health of our waterways and communities,” Manila Water Communication Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.

Additionally, the retrofitting of the Olandes STP to modify existing BNR processes ensures compliance with the strict regulatory standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for Class C wastewater, which can sustain marine life. This directive aims to ensure adherence to BNR process standards in wastewater treatment facilities which will redound to cleaner and safer waterways.


The enhancements at Manila Water’s Olandes STP, which include upgrading the Biological Nutrient Removal system, demonstrate the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and adherence to government standards on effluents, ensuring cleaner and safer waterways.

In line with the Philippines’ efforts to further boost the local insurance industry, GCash, the country’s leading finance super app, is introducing a new feature to unlock access to insurance for millions of Filipinos. The e-wallet is providing free health insurance, underwritten by FPG Insurance, every time eligible users buy prepaid credits for themselves using the Buy Load service.



“This initiative, powered by GInsure in partnership with FPG Insurance, reflects the commitment of GCash to making financial protection accessible to every Filipino, ensuring that even the simplest transactions, like buying prepaid load, come with the added security of health coverage at no extra cost,” said Winsley Bangit, vice president and group head of new businesses at GCash.



The country’s insurance penetration has been growing in recent years, but it remains below 2%. With millions of Buy Load users on the app primarily receiving mobile load, GCash sees an opportunity to protect more Filipinos, offering a valuable incentive beyond telecommunications.



Made possible by GInsure, every time eligible users make Buy Load transactions on the GCash app, they can also avail of the free health insurance coverage, empowering users to prepare for unexpected medical expenses due to accidents or hospitalization



“Beyond just financial assistance, this benefit ensures that users have funds to cover medical costs or compensate for lost income during recovery, helping prevent families from falling deeper into debt and alleviating financial struggles,” Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.



The free health and accident insurance gives eligible users up to PHP 30,000 coverage and additional valuable benefits. For every load purchase, a user can automatically get PHP 10,000 in accidental death coverage, which can be accumulated up to a maximum of PHP 30,000 when making up to three separate eligible load purchases.



Users can also get income assistance when they’re hospitalized due to illnesses and accidents, allowing them to receive PHP 500 per day salary assistance for a maximum of 5 days. They can also get up to PHP 10,000 disablement benefit, providing the user or their beneficiaries a safety net.



GCash introduced this initiative in response to shifting user needs. With millions of Filipinos still hesitant to fully embrace digital transactions, they still rely on traditional offline methods. Now, with free health insurance seamlessly integrated into prepaid load transactions, users can enjoy more benefits when they go digital, making each purchase not just more convenient but also rewarding.

Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major insurer in the country, has entered into a strategic partnership with SB Finance, Inc. (SBF) to empower more Filipinos by providing accessible insurance solutions integrated into SBF’s loan offerings. This collaboration aims to extend financial protection to a wider segment of the population, making insurance more inclusive and within reach.



Through this strategic partnership, SBF loan clients will be covered with life insurance from Sun Life Grepa, giving them peace of mind knowing that their loved ones will be protected from unpaid loan obligations in the event of life’s uncertainties.



“At Sun Life Grepa, we’ve always believed that financial protection should be a part of everyday life for Filipinos. It shouldn’t be something people only think about during major life events. That is why we are grateful to SBF for their trust in us to bring protection and financial flexibility together in a way that is simple, accessible, and meaningful,” said Sun Life Grepa President Richard S. Lim.



SBF President and CEO Abbie Dans-Casanova also expressed her appreciation for the collaboration. “At SBF, we always aim to support our clients through every step of their financial journey. By integrating life insurance protection into our loan products, we ensure that our clients and their families are supported, especially during challenging times. I’m very grateful for this partnership with Sun Life Grepa because it allows us to put our clients’ peace of mind at the center of everything we do.”



The insurance coverage is available to clients availing of SBF’s eSALAD (salary advance), Personal Loan, and OR/CR for Cash loan products, offering up to PhP 2 million of Group Credit Life (GCL) insurance coverage.



The agreement was signed by Sun Life Grepa President Richard S. Lim and Vice President for Affinity Marketing Joen Songco, along with SB Finance President and CEO Abbie Dans-Casanova and Chief Business Officer Gerard Betita.



SB Finance is a partnership between Security Bank and Thailand’s Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri), offering innovative and accessible loan products tailored to the needs of everyday Filipinos.
