Stanger Things Manila Crossover at Poblacion

When Hawkins Came to Makati: A Stranger Things Night in Poblacion

Published by

There are places in a city that feel familiar, almost second nature — until something surprising happens and suddenly the ordinary bends into the extraordinary. In Poblacion, Makati, that moment arrived when the neighborhood transformed into a slice of Hawkins, Indiana, the small-town setting of Stranger Things, the Netflix phenomenon that captivated millions across the world. For three nights in November 2025, Poblacion became the home of “Stranger Things: One Last Adventure,” an immersive pop-up celebrating the upcoming final season of the groundbreaking series. Streets lit up with neon and string lights. Bars and corners were dressed like the Byers’ living room. And tucked into the heart of the neighborhood was a recreation of Vecna’s Lair, eerie and atmospheric, drawing fans in with equal parts curiosity and nostalgia. Why Stranger Things Still Resonates Worldwide Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Things has grown into one of Netflix’s most beloved titles — a cultural touchstone blending ‘80s nostalgia, sci-fi mystery, coming-of-age themes, and unforgettable characters. Eleven’s quiet strength, the boys’ unwavering friendship, Hopper’s sacrifices, and the …

The 8 MMFF 2025 Films You Should Know This Year

Published by

For the first time in two or three years, we’re finally back to watching the Metro Manila Film Festival the way we used to. No shortcuts, no half-attending, no “maybe next year.” Just the familiar excitement of stepping into a cinema on a December night, lining up with families and barkadas, and immersing ourselves in Filipino stories during the holidays. And honestly—wala, ang sarap lang sa feeling. We missed this festival more than we realized. This year, MMFF welcomes us back with a lineup that feels different—not just bigger, but braver and more varied. ⸻ WHY THIS YEAR’S MMFF FEELS DIFFERENT If you’ve followed the festival over the years, you’ll notice right away: MMFF 2025 doesn’t look like the typical holiday lineup. This year feels like a reset. A recalibration. Maybe even a quiet revolution. Here’s why: 1. The Variety is Surprisingly Strong A queer parenthood comedy-drama, a representation-led film starring actors with Down syndrome, a 1969 period thriller, a future-set horror anthology, a legal drama about annulment, a Gen Z romance, and a decade-later …

Eugene Domingo Returns in Septic Tank 4 Live at PETA Theater

Published by

Eugene Domingo returns as… Eugene Domingo, in the franchise’s boldest leap yet. The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) is shaking up its own stage—literally and figuratively—as it announces the newest, wildest chapter in the beloved “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” universe. After conquering cinemas and streaming, the cult-classic satire is finally jumping into the world of live theater. Mark your calendars: from June 19 to August 16, 2026, the PETA Theater Center will be home to a production as messy, meta, and magnificently Filipino as the franchise itself. This fourth installment, cheekily titled “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It’s Live Sa Cheter!”, brings the franchise to an entirely new medium—one where anything can happen, and with PETA at the helm, it probably will. In true Septic Tank fashion, the show doesn’t just pull back the curtain; it shreds it. Expect a sharp, riotous commentary on the world of Philippine theater-making—its egos, its ambitions, its impossible dreams, and the everyday chaos that somehow, magically, still leads to opening night. PETA’s official synopsis leans …
