“No love for Samsung!??”

It’s come to our attention that Samsung fans have been relegated to the sidelines when it comes to the breadth and depth of mobile accessory options available for their favorite devices. OtterBox is saying goodbye to saying #Sorry and replacing it with #MoreGalaxyLove. OtterBox, the No. 1-selling smartphone case, announces a full lineup of cases for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, available now.

OtterBox proudly offers its full lineup for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ with Pursuit Series, Symmetry Series, Defender Series, Commuter Series and Strada Series Folio cases as well as Alpha Glass screen guards. 2 OtterBox is showing the love by offering a wider range of colors and graphics than ever before.

“For years we have heard our fans ask why OtterBox doesn’t extend the range of styles, colors and designs offered for Galaxy devices,” OtterBox CEO Jim Parke said. “We’re here to say that we have heard you and are expanding our case colors, graphics and series offerings for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.”

Give Galaxy more grit. Cover Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ with Pursuit Series, the thinnest, toughest OtterBox case. Available for the first time on a Galaxy device, the two-piece case snaps around the device to block out drops, dings, dust and grime. The case features audio scoops for amplified sound and comes with a lanyard for added security while carrying.

For more Galaxy pop, Symmetry Series comes in a variety of colors, graphic or clear styles. Symmetry Series is easy to slip on and off the device and in and out of pockets with a slim, single-piece form. The stylish case keeps Galaxy devices safe from bumps, drops, scratches and dings.

The classically rugged Defender Series guards Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ from scrapes, drops and dings. The tough case is designed with an open screen to suit the curved display and is fully compatible with Alpha Glass. Defender Series boasts a shell with a rigid exterior and flexible interior for drop protection, and a tough, textured outer layer provides additional shock protection and blocks out dust, dirt and grime.

The slim Commuter Series keeps Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ covered with two layers of slim protection. The thin case slips easily in and out of pockets for on-the-go use, helps guard against bumps with a tough exterior shell and blocks out grime with the shock-absorbing slipcover's port protection.

Cover Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ in 360-degrees of crafted protection with Strada Series Folio.

Chris Pratt, The Alpha Male Takes on "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" Showing in PH Theaters on June 6

Chris Pratt has firmly secured himself as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. He most recently returned to the wildly popular role of Star-Lord in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War.

Now, Pratt reprises his iconic raptor master role in Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the sequel to the 2015 global megahit Jurassic World.

Says director J.A. Bayona, “Chris created an amazing character, providing Owen Grady with genuine charm and comedy. He has an honest inner strength that somehow communicates to the audience that he will always do the right thing.”

Pratt shares what about this series continues to resonate with audiences: “The success of Jurassic World starts with the success of Jurassic Park. The original movie is just so beloved. It captured the imagination of an entire generation, and there was a world hungry to see a new version of this story…one with all the technological advancements that have been made in filmmaking since 1993.”

Working with Bayona proved a rewarding experience for Pratt. “J.A. is a huge movie buff,” the performer says. “He particularly loves a movie with an edge, and he’s bringing that to this film. He is playing, not so much with what is there but what might be around the corner. These movies are all about science, imagination and suspense. J.A.’s a master.”

Very few in the Jurassic world can understand the brutal physicality of one of these films, so Pratt appreciated the chance to collaborate once again with Bryce Dallas Howard. “I’m teamed with Bryce, who has an incredible work ethic; she is passionate about every step of the process. Combine that partnership with our director’s vision, and we’ve got a pretty good handle on what we need to make this the best Jurassic adventure it can be.”

Claire and Owen have been living separate lives, but are reunited for a common goal. While she has made it her mission to protect and save all the creatures, she knows that what will get Owen back on the island is the chance to rescue Blue, the Velociraptor to whom he has the closest connection.

“Much of what’s happened between Claire and Owen is unspoken, but they’ve gone through traumatic experiences together at Jurassic World and have each handled that differently,” reflects Pratt.

“Owen believes there is no way to make yourself feel better; you have to move on and live your life. To bury yourself in guilt like Claire’s done is wrong, and for Owen to ignore what they’ve gone through is also flawed…so they need one another. You see that these characters are drawn to one another and destined to be together…but circumstances have not allowed that to happen.”

Pratt’s role required a great deal of stunt work, and there was many a night after filming that his bruised self fell into a deep sleep.

“This is more physical than the first movie,” Pratt says.

“There were a lot of stunts; I’ve rolled out of the back of trucks, gone diving, ran down mountains and did underwater stunts. We’ve also got huge fight sequences. They’ve taken the action-hero element that worked in the first movie and quadrupled it.”

In Philippine cinemas June 6, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures. Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/uipmoviesph/

Ian Veneracion Holds Early Father's Day Event by ASCOF Forte Menthol Syrup and Wish 107.5 on June 8 at Eton Centris Walk

In front of the cameras, Ian Veneracion has always been lauded for being a professional and effective actor. But outside the showbiz spotlight, he still gains the utmost respect and admiration of his fans by fully embracing his life as a family man - a wonderful dad to three kids and a loving husband to his wife.

Now, the multi-faceted Ian Veneracion, who’s also a painter and extreme sports advocate, gets to play still another interesting “role” - as a musical artist.

On June 8, Friday, Ian is set to perform a song inside the Wish 107.5 Bus which will be situated at Eton Centris Walk in Quezon City. Presented by the country’s no. 1 natural cough remedy ASCOF (Vitex negundo L. Lagundi Leaf) in collaboration with hit FM radio station Wish 107.5, the on-ground event will start at 4 p.m., with Veneracion’s guesting slated at 7 p.m.

A musician by heart, Ian has, in the past, written songs and played instruments like the piano and the guitar. But it was only recently when the versatile entertainer decided to take things up a notch with the release of his bluesy debut original single “We’re All Alone,” which Wish 107.5 describes as an “ode to solitude.”

Ian likewise mounted a successful first solo concert in Cebu dubbed as “Ian in 3 Acts,” the Manila leg of which was held last May 13, Mother’s Day, at Resorts World Manila.

Aside from an on-air musical delight from Ian, attendees of the early Father’s Day event will also be treated to games and other surprises like ASCOF’s “Who’s Your Cough Character” booth, where special prizes await lucky participants.

ASCOF, the innovative and pioneering herbal cough remedy in the Philippines, is made from 100 percent organically grown Lagundi leaves, making it a natural and effective remedy for mild to moderate cough and bronchial asthma. Its Menthol Syrup variant, either sugar-free or regular, has a “hagod-menthol” soothing effect for cough with sore and itchy throat.

When Ian was officially launched as its brand endorser, he proudly claimed that his cough remedy of choice had always been ASCOF Forte Menthol Syrup.

“PascualLab, the maker of ASCOF Forte Menthol Syrup, has constantly advocated for raising strong and healthy families, at the core of which are our beloved fathers. On Father’s Day, we would like to say ‘thank you’ to the very special men in our lives with a musical tribute.

For this, we can’t think of a more exceptional talent than our own Ian Veneracion, who, amid the many hats he wears, dons the hat of being a father best,” says ASCOF Forte Brand Manager Alan Levi Farinas.

Everyone is welcome to join us at the Centris Walk, on June 8, Friday, for a wonderful time of music and surprises with Ian Veneracion, ASCOF Forte Menthol Syrup and Wish 107.5.

Kojie•san Sunblock Sun Patrol: Letting You Have Fun in the Sun Without Skin Damage

The summer heat is on full effect! Time to get out there, get that golden tan in your most stunning summer threads, and sit back with a nice cold refreshing beverage in hand. Pretty sight, isn't it?

However, while the sun, sea, sand, and breeze collectively paint an amazing imagery of summer, one could also imagine how these elements can damage the skin when exposed without protection.

Have you ever stepped outdoors without any sun protection? You'd be surprised a lot of people are guilty of this. While we all dread the signs of aging, most of us don't make an effort to be kind to our skin.

Some might say they actually protect their skin by using sunblock. But probably the important question to ask are:

Are you doing enough and are you doing it right?

Have you ever gone out of the house without an SPF of at least 30?

Do you apply sun protection only on your face and neglect the other exposed parts of your body?

Do you forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours?

Do you apply less than a pea- sized amount of sunblock on your face?

If you answered YES to these, then you are committing serious violations against your skin.

Better be on the lookout then because The Kojie•san Sunblock Sun Patrol is watching to see if you commit more skin care violations and they could make a Citizen’s Arrest! Before they get to you though, you've got to make sure you know a couple of things.

A variety of factors can cause damage to your skin but the biggest culprit is sun exposure! The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down collagen and elastin, making the skin rough and uneven.These rays also affect the melanocytes, which have something to do with the skin’s pigmentation.

What’s worse is that when your skin ages prematurely due to unprotected sun exposure - you can get wrinkles, brown spots and even skin cancer!

What can you do to prevent this?

Stay out of the sun during the middle of the day when the sun’s rays are strongest, wear protective clothing such as hats and umbrellas and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protect against both UVA and UVB rays, with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. And yes, before the Kojie•san Sun Patrol makes another Citizen’s Arrest - don’t forget to reapply every two hours for maximum protection.

Kojie•san Sunblock is the only sun care brand in the Philippines with Sunactyl, which helps relieve and repair skin from sun damages caused by sun exposure. Sunactyl protects the skin against UVA and UVB damage through the glutathione system. It also fights UV-stress and heat-stress.

The products include Kojie•san Sunblock SPF 69 PA+++; Kojie•san Sunblock Face SPF 50 PA+++; Kojie•san Sunscreen SPF 55 PA+++ with Lightening; Kojie•san Sunblock Sport SPF 50 PA+++; Kojie•san Before Sunspray SPF 50; Kojie•san After Sunspray and Kojie•san Kids SPF 30 and SPF 50.

All Kojie•san Sunblock products have broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays to prevent sunburn and premature skin aging.

So don’t be afraid to go out in the sun and enjoy the beach and indulge in other outdoor activities. But make sure to slather on your Kojie•san Sunblock because the Kojie•san Sun Patrol is ready to make a Citizen’s Arrest anytime you commit a skin crime.

If you want to know more about this, go to the @kojiesansunblockph Facebook page.

SWS and Pulse Asia: Over Half of Metro Manila Homes Already on Digital Terrestrial TV

More than half of the total number of homes in Metro Manila are watching television via digital terrestrial television (DTT), according to the latest surveys conducted by Pulse Asia and SWS.

Pulse Asia and SWS both conducted surveys in March, which showed, respectively, that 51% and 56% of Metro Manila homes own a DTT box, which gives a better TV viewing experience and more choices in terms of programs and channels.

The Pulse Asia and SWS surveys also found, respectively, that 16% and 17% of households nationwide have a DTT box.

The results from the polling firms show that more and more consumers are making the big switch from analog to DTT, as ABS-CBN reports it has sold a cumulative total of five million ABS-CBN TVplus boxes as of May 3.

ABS-CBN Tvplus, which was launched in 2015, enables viewers to enjoy clearer picture and audio quality, affordable pay-per-view services, and free exclusive channels without any monthly and installation fee.

With the robust sales of ABS-CBN TVplus driving the rise in DTT penetration, ABS-CBN is ahead of other broadcast companies in supporting the government’s mandate for the full shift from analog to DTT by 2023.

Since its launch three years ago, ABS-CBN TVplus has expanded its signal coverage in the country to reach residents in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Rizal, Laguna, Pampanga, Tarlac, Benguet, Cavite, Metro Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Davao.

While ABS-CBN TVplus’ latest milestone indicates that more Filipinos are eager to enjoy its life-changing benefits, it also means that viewers are enjoying ABS-CBN TVplus’ program offerings, translating into higher viewership for two of its exclusive channels.

CineMo, the first-ever all-day movie channel to air on ABS-CBN TVplus, is now the third most watched channel in Metro Manila with an average audience share of 7% for the month of April, according to data from Kantar Media covering urban and rural homes.

Like CineMo, ABS-CBN TVplus’ all-day children’s entertainment channel YeY! has also gained a solid following as the fourth most watched channel in Metro Manila with an average audience share of 5%.

Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms. It is a multinational market research group that specializes in audience measurement in more than 80 countries, has 26 TV networks, ad agencies, and pan-regional networks subscribing to its ratings services.

It was indeed a "bonggang" pilot airing for Inday Will Always Love You (IWALY) as the latest rom-com series on GMA Network's primetime block beat its rival program and dominated social media during its debut last Monday, May 21.

The GMA News and Public Affairs-produced series that highlights the unique beauty and rich culture of Cebu recorded a 42 percent overnight people share according to Nielsen Philippines TAM's National Urban Philippines data. IWALY's counterpart show, ABS-CBN's Since I Found You, only managed to get 34.8 percent.

Viewers and netizens alike cannot help but be captivated by the bubbly and positive attitude of Happylou Magtibay, played by award-winning Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza.

Online, IWALY also made a buzz with the hashtag #IWALYBonggangPilot landing on the top spot of the trending topics in the Philippines which ran hours before the actual airing until morning the next day.

Praising Barbie’s character, a netizen with Twitter handle @archie_live said: “Ang lakas maka good vibes ni Happylou.

At the same time, netizens found themselves craving for Cebu’s famous lechon which plays an integral part in the series since HappyLou works in a lechon store.

“My mom will love this, she likes to eat lechon,” said @donnalee2010 while @korinhatesyou could not help but tweet: “i want to eat lechon din tuloy my goood (sic).”

They also commended the other actors who appeared on the pilot airing such as Ricky Davao, Manilyn Reynes, Nova Villa, Gladys Reyes, Kim Rodriguez, Buboy Villar, Liz Liz Simon, and Fliptop Artists Mzhayt and Price Tagg.

Piolo Pascual and Arci Munoz Break-up Reveals

Nathan (Piolo Pascual) and Dani (Arci Munoz)'s lives will forever be changed after their relationship collapsed under the strain of his business problems in the Kapamilya primetime series "Since I Found You."

The couple broke up and decided to go their separate lives after the rail system project controversy led to the closure of Nathan's construction company. In their break-up talk, Nathan blatantly put the blame on Dani and tagged her as a distraction from his job. This did not sit well with Dani, who voiced out her disappointment with Nathan for giving up easily on their relationship.

After their split, challenges will continue to test them because Ginno (JC De Vera) will try to get Dani's trust so she would side with him and finally leave Nathan behind.

However, with the help of James (Empoy) and Janice (Alessandra De Rossi), Nathan will continue to rise from the controversy and reclaim the success he once had.

Erceflora ProbiBears, a Yummy Chewable 2-in-1 Priobotic Supplement for Kids, Arrives in PH

There is nothing worse than having your child get sick with painful tummy problems. Kids tend to have a higher risk of getting digestive health-related diseases such as diarrhea and constipation from harmful bacteria. A stomachache isn't only uncomfortable; it alters the child's mood and his or her attitude for the day.

As a parent, this definitely causes emotional stress because we don't want to see our kid experiencing any kind of discomfort.

Experts say probiotics may help ease your child's digestive disorders and make potty training more manageable1.

What are probiotics, which have been showing up in a lot of kids' products lately? As a mom, you want to know what probiotics are and which one to choose for your child.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive tract.It works like this: A human digestive tract has about 100 trillion healthy bacteria. Bacteria aid in digestion and help the body defend itself against illness2. Thus, probiotics can aid with immunity and help protect you from common colds and flu.

Every person, child or adult, needs a balance of good bacteria in the body. However, this balance is easily upset by a number of factors such as a poor diet, stress orby taking antibiotics and other medication.

Children can get probiotics from eating yogurt and beverages that contain probiotics. However, the amount and quality of probiotics in those food and beverages maynot be enough.

It's a good thing there is Erceflora ProbiBears, a yummy tummy supplement with the combined 2-in-1 PROBIO-BOOSTER of not just Lactobacillus acidophilus, but also Bifidobacterium lactis – good bacteria that help prevent gut problems such as diarrhea, upset stomach, and other digestive illnesses to help keep kids happy and healthy everyday. It's the delicious and healthy way to strengthen your child's tummy in yummy chewable bears!

Lactobacillus is good bacteria that are present in a lot of food. A study has shown that Lactobacillus was an effective treatment against infant colic and even helped improve immunity. Bifidobacterium, on the other hand, helps ease digestive issues such as bloating and flatulence. It also has a longer shelf life4.

From the makers of the World's #1 Probiotic, ProbiBears will reassure moms that their kids stay healthy in the tummy! Moreover, their kids will love it because it comes in fun and yummy chewable bears!
