The competition was fierce with 16 dancers showcasing a stunning array of dance styles. The audience was completely amazed by the outstanding performances by the Cebu qualifier finalists. The Top 4 were JPY (Jeffrey Casas Toledo), Khlai (Khlai Vargaso Batula), Nemesis (Sam Rivera), and Baby Titan (Shihan Maui Ricablanca). Nemesis won following a tough set of combat rounds. She won first place and a trip to the National Finals thanks to her impeccable performances throughout the competition.
“(It) feels great,” remarked Nemesis, who also participated in last year’s Cebu qualifier. “Last year, I only won second place, so this serves as my redemption.”
Nemesis stated that competing with other dance crew members, “Underground,” was one of the tournament’s highlights for her. She said, “This year, there are a lot of dancers from outside Cebu; some are my friends, and some I just met during the competition. I think one of the highlights for this year is meeting new friends and competitors.”

When asked how she plans to prepare for the National Finals, she said, “Since the competition for the National Finals is already filtered from Baguio, Davao, and Manila, I need to level up my training.”
Khlai, the first runner-up who also guaranteed her spot in the National Finals, expressed her happiness at making it to the competition. “It feels so surreal, I don’t even know where to begin,” she said.
Khlai shared that her late grandfather motivated her to join the competition despite her long-term knee injury. “Today is the birthday of my grandfather, who passed away. The performance that I did was dedicated to my grandfather and grandparents.”
In preparation for the National Finals, Khlai said she wanted to work on her stamina, stating, “I don’t really prepare that long or have a specific training, but I’ll try to do cardio for my stamina so that I can keep up with the dancers.”
Philippine All-Stars legends and dance consultants Lema Diaz and Vince Mendoza were seen at the event. “All I can say is that (the competition) was full of inspiration and new faces,” said Vince Mendoza. “Compared to last year, we multiplied by a lot. Many dancers supported Red Bull Dance Your Style, and the skills really leveled up from last year.”
“Nemesis had really unpredictable moves and undeniable skills,” said Mendoza.

He expressed his excitement for the next round of qualifiers, saying, “It’s going to be more crazy. We’re excited for the Manila qualifiers. There’s a lot of dancers and new faces. I’m excited that I can witness that moment.”
Asked for advice he wanted to give dancers competing in the National Finals, Mendoza said, “We always tell them to have fun no matter what. Win or lose, it’s all about the transformation. If you win, there’s transformation. If you lose, there’s transformation. It’s all about giving love to the community, the next generation, the OGs, our past, present, and future.”
All eyes are now focused on the exciting next round of action following the conclusion of the Cebu qualifiers. The Manila qualifiers for Red Bull Dance Your Style will occur at Octopus Makati on July 27, 2024. Devoted dancers will compete nationwide in hopes of shining in the World Finals.

Manila, Philippines (July 12, 2024) – HUAWEI will be releasing its newest flagship laptop models, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro and the MateBook 14, in the Philippines beginning July 12, 2024. Tech enthusiasts and HUAWEI fans, get ready to experience unparalleled performance, innovative features, and sleek designs that change the laptop experience. The two models will be readily available in HUAWEI stores nationwide, and will strike the perfect blend of style, power, and portability.
Perfect for those always on the move
As a product of HUAWEI, quality and performance is top priority, and both the MateBook X Pro and MateBook 14 deliver beyond expectations with relative ease.
One of the standout qualities of both the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro and MateBook 14 is their lightweight design, making them incredibly easy to carry around. The flagship MateBook X Pro weighs at a staggering 980 grams, while the MateBook 14 enters the market with a weight of approximately 1.31 kg, setting a new standard for portability. This ultra-lightweight nature ensures that you can effortlessly slip these laptops into your bag and take your work or entertainment with you wherever you go, without the burden of extra weight.
This lightweight feature is ideal for professionals on the go, allowing seamless movement between meetings and client appointments. The MateBook 14, specifically, offers students the perfect blend of power and portability for hustling between classes. Travelers will also appreciate the convenience of these lightweight laptops, as they can be easily packed and carried without adding significant weight to their luggage.
In addition to its weight and portability, both units also support HUAWEI’s Metaline Antenna technology, which benefits signal strength, reduces dead spots and enables reliable internet connections. The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is also the first HUAWEI laptop model to feature 3D Metaline Antenna, an improved and reimagined version of its 2D counterparts. Being bolstered by this, the MateBook X Pro becomes the first HUAWEI to have significantly farther, faster, and more robust network connections.
Faster and better performance than ever before!
Equipped with the high-performing Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro stands out when it comes to offering unparalleled processing power for demanding applications and multitasking. To maintain optimal performance, the MateBook X Pro utilizes shark fin fans that effectively dissipate heat, so the laptop remains cool and responsive for extended use. Coupled with a robust 70 Wh battery, the MateBook X Pro lets you work longer and more efficiently without hiccups or interruption.
The HUAWEI MateBook 14 is equally impressive, featuring the all-new Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. This, combined with the Intel ARC GPU, makes the MateBook 14 well-suited for handling all audiovisual entertainment-related needs from users. With a battery life that can play up to 19 hours of 1080p video on a full charge and support for reverse fast charging, the MateBook 14 is perfect for users who need long-lasting power.
A visual experience with new colors and improved screen displays
As the flagship model, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro features a stunning 14.2-inch flexible OLED screen with a 3.1K high-definition display, providing an immersive visual experience. With an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of 93%, users can enjoy a virtually borderless display that maximizes screen real estate and enhances productivity. The MateBook X Pro excels in color accuracy, offering smooth and true-to-life colors that are silky smooth to look at, making it perfect for creative professionals and multimedia enthusiasts. Additionally, the screen has passed the TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 3.0 certification and supports prolonged use without eye strain and discomfort.
The HUAWEI MateBook 14, meanwhile, sets a new standard for display quality with its 2.8K OLED touchscreen, a feature not typically seen in non-flagship models. This high-resolution display delivers stunning visuals with bright colors and striking details, while the high refresh rate of up to 120Hz gives a smooth and fluid motion, enhancing the overall user experience. The bright display allows for excellent visibility even in well-lit environments, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, the MateBook 14 has obtained the TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certification, meaning it offers enhanced comfort for long-term use, reducing eye strain and is great for those who spend extended periods in front of the screen.
New body, new colors
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro sets a new standard not just among HUAWEI laptops but also within the industry, with its body crafted from super-light yet highly durable magnesium alloy. The introduction of the elegant Morandi Blue color significantly improves its sophisticated appeal, and has a metallic body with a unique matte finish, resistant to scratches and stains. The MateBook X Pro’s skyline design creates a graceful slope with gradient curvature when open, accentuating its smooth feel and refined appearance, making it both a visually striking and practical choice for discerning users.
On the other hand, the HUAWEI MateBook 14 enters the market with a vibrant new green color option, injecting freshness into its design language. The laptop adopts a frameless and curved-edged keyboard design, a departure from traditional layouts, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also minimizes issues related to dust accumulation. With an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 91%, the MateBook 14 features an almost bezel-less display, providing users with an immersive visual experience and maximizing productivity by maximizing screen space.
Implementation of AI tools for added convenience
Both the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro and MateBook 14 are equipped with advanced AI technology features that enhance productivity and connectivity. The two models support Super Device technology, facilitating seamless collaboration between different devices like tablets, phones, and other laptops. With Super Device, users can also utilize different modes such as mirror mode and extend mode for enhanced multitasking and streamlined workflow.
Moreover, AI productivity tools have also been incorporated to elevate user experience further. These tools include AI noise cancellation, which enhances audio clarity during calls or recordings, ensuring crystal-clear communication. The AI camera gives advanced capabilities for immersive conferencing, such as virtual background control and intelligent eye contact adjustments using HUAWEI Smart Conference and facial recognition/eye correction technologies. Additionally, AI Search enables quick and accurate file searches, making documents easier to find.

The moody guitar-pop track showcases layers of maturity and earnestness to his musical craft
Rising OPM star Paolo Sandejas is the newest addition to the growing family of Sony Music Entertainment artists!
In just a short period of time, the breakout act has captivated the international audience with “Sorry,” a song that BTS’ V co-signed and sang in one of his vlogs. In 2023, Sandejas dropped Bloom, a 6-track EP which features the hit single “Different Shade of Blue.” He is also one of the performers at the recently concluded Wanderland Music and Arts Festival2024, sharing the billing alongside some of the global heavyweights in the live music scene, including Jack Johnson, Parcels, and Thundercat.
As part of his debut offering with his new label, Paolo Sandejas has finally released “sirens,” the first single off his upcoming solo album to be released sometime soon. Penned by Sandejas, the moody alt-pop track reveals a more mature approach to his musicality and songwriting.
The song also serves as a reunion project with Xergio Ramos, who was responsible for producing “Someone New,” his collab track with fellow singer-songwriter Martti Franca.
“The final track sounds so much fuller and more polished compared to what I initially brought to him, and I’m really grateful that he took the time and effort to help bring the song to life,” said the Sway artist. “You’ll definitely be hearing more of him working on my songs in the future.”
Lyrically speaking, “sirens” is about finding home in a person. As Sandejas puts it, the new song captures the feeling of being reckless and spontaneous in life, knowing that things will be fine as long as you get to spend precious time with the person you call home.
He explains, “I wanted to keep the lyrics really simple with slight variations between verses to tell the story in a subtle way. As writers, we often try to fit as much as we can into a song, but for this track, I wanted to be as efficient as I could while still telling its story.”
Paolo Sandejas’ “sirens” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
Curb Records recording artist Wyn Starks is currently gaining significant traction worldwide for the success of his uplifting song, “Who I Am,” which was prominently featured in Celine Dion’s recently released documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.
After stunning the America’s Got Talent judges with his performance of the song in 2022, “Who I Am” continues to resonate with those navigating a struggle to find their strength. I Am: Celine Dion can be found on Prime Video now.
“I have no words to describe what I’m feeling. I’ll be on cloud nine for the rest of my life!” shares Wyn Starks about “Who I Am” being part of I Am: Celine Dion.
“It’s such a full circle moment. Celine Dion has been such an inspiration to me, and her music has helped me get through so many obstacles in my life. Seeing her belt out ‘Who I Am’ with such strength and resilience in spite of everything she’s going through will be a moment I’ll never forget.”
Alongside this feature, Wyn Starks also takes off on a cross-country adventure in his recently released music video for current single, “Run,” which premiered exclusively on Wonderland Magazine’s website. The song is currently in the Top 30 of Hot AC Radio in the US. Another track that is slowly getting recognized is “Where Are The Giants.” The inspiring track explores the impact of absent parental figures and the quest for self-worth.
Fans can check out more about Wyn Starks HERE. I Am: Celine Dion can be found on Prime Video now.

Manila, Philippines: Coinciding with the 50th year of National Nutrition Month in the Philippines, the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF) has announced the LIFE initiative—which stands for LCF’s Intervention for Food Security, Nutrition, and Empowerment—at the LIFE launch held on Friday, July 5, 2024, at the CSR Expo at the Glorietta Activity Center, Glorietta Mall, Makati City.
LIFE is the League of Corporate Foundations’ flagship project moving forward into 2024 and beyond. LIFE is a League-wide effort to prevent wasting and stunting. Stunting can have dire and lasting consequences for afflicted children—as well as Philippine society as a whole—if these concerns are not addressed. LIFE aims to decrease, if not eliminate stunting, wasting and malnutrition—one province at a time, based on the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN).
The Province of Basilan is one of the League’s first areas of focus. It will work together with the provincial government and other concerned groups to bring the program to the people of Basilan. Present at the launch was Hon. Jim S. Hataman-Salliman, the Governor of the Province of Basilan.
Stunting affects 26 per cent of Filipino children younger than 5 years. Stunted children can struggle to learn, often perform poorly in school, and may miss many days of school due to ill health. The condition is irreversible; stunted children who reach adulthood may be less healthy and less productive and can earn less than adults who were not stunted as children. Stunting results from poor nutrition of both young children and mothers-to-be, including deficiencies in the consumption of vital micronutrients such as iron and Vitamin A.
LIFE encompasses nutrition specific interventions including supplementary feeding, micronutrient supplementation, nutrition promotion for behavior change, and nutrition during emergency situations; nutrition sensitive interventions such as a “Greenlihood Program” (provision of vegetable seedlings to target FK1D groups) and WASH interventions; and enabling mechanisms such as the establishment of a nutrition office that will undertake relevant activities such as the conduct of trainings in nutrition.
“Concerned members of the League are working to collaborate on LIFE. We also endeavor to identify, reach out to, and work with other like-minded groups, corporates and government organizations, individuals and civil society groups,“ said Sebastian C. Quiniones, LCF Board Chairperson and Executive Director, Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc.
The LIFE launch was held back-to-back with the launch of the inaugural Medal of Recognition, which upholds outstanding corporate social responsibility initiatives undertaken by organizations which are not members of LCF, and as part of the celebration of National CSR Week in the Philippines. LCF is mandated to lead the celebration of National CSR Week on the first week of July by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 299, s. 2000, including through organizing the yearly CSR Conference and Expo.
