Generations of superheroes have come and gone in the history of Philippine shows, each leaving a distinct impact and legacy among viewers.

This year, ANIMA, one of the creative business units of tradigital entertainment company KROMA Entertainment, adds a fresh batch to this super roster as it gears up for the launch of a new superhero-themed series.

As the go-to resource for daring and creator-focused content, ANIMA unveils five new superheroes who will alter the course of mankind in the show ERO, which will kick off via ANIMA’s official Youtube channel this month. Its first three episodes will drop, fittingly, on August 29, National Heroes Day. Succeeding episodes will air every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In the 10-episode series directed by Joel Ferrer and Miko Livelo, five random misfits from a superhero academy become unlikely superheroes as they discover their “useless” powers. Bannered by Gabbi Garcia as Malaya, Markus Paterson as Titan, Alex Diaz as Asher, Anikka Camaya as Hazel, and Dylan Ray Talon as Biboy, they will personify the powers of contact destruction, immortality, time travel, super richness, and illusionism.

As seen in its riveting trailer, the ERO crew will train on harnessing their abilities for the greater good while also learning the fundamentals of controlling them. In their quest to conquer villains and confront challenges, they will strive to surpass the greats that have come before them, and seek their place in greater heights.

“In order to maintain our efforts of breaking into the new era of entertainment, our desire is to keep expanding our portfolio by filling every possible category and genre with fresh, original material that only the talents and creatives of ANIMA can deliver,” said ANIMA Managing Director Bianca Balbuena. “We’re very thrilled that we will be able to show Ero to a wider audience for free through our youtube channel. This is for all school misfits. You are your own superhero!”

ANIMA continues to claim recognition for its numerous platforms that deliver sensational and groundbreaking content be it in film, podcasts, or video production. With ERO, the creative studio further reinforces its formidable presence in the entertainment industry.

Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi brings out nostalgic feelings - an official entry to Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2018

Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wifi Monday, August 13, 2018

A few more days till Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2018 starts and we're all excited to watch the movies this year. There are a lot of interesting entries for 2018 and one of them is "ANGE BABAENG ALLERGIC SA WIFI" starring Markus Paterson, Sue Ramirez and Jameson Blake, written and directed by no less than Jon Robles Lana.

CIGNAL ENTERTAINMENT, the new original content division of CIGNAL, in partnership THE IDEAFIRST COMPANY and OCTOBERTRAIN FILMS, presents a fresh look at love in the digital age with “Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa WiFi".

When a teenage girl played by Sue Ramirez as Norma, develops an allergy to Wi-Fi, she is forced to live in a remote province, pushing her to reevaluate her relationship with boyfriend Leo played by Markus Paterson. She then became close with Leo's brother Aris played by Jameson Blake and Macha played by Angellie Sanoy.

The film held an Exclusive advance screening at the Director's Club of SM Megamall where the cast were also present:

Direk Jun Lana was also present during the screening and invited everyone to support their film which will start of August 15.

The film is very relatable especially to the millennials right now who loves to use WIFI as a tool to update their social media life but what happens when there's no WIFI? will it still affect the reality of life? will it become a hindrance to form a solid relationship? In my personal opinion, the cast were all perfect for their respective roles - Sue Ramirez did a wonderful job as Norma, her eyes were very expressive and she can very well deliver in every given scene specifically when it comes to drama scenes, you'' definitely get carried away with her, that's how good she is, now I understand why Arjo Atayde mentioned in the past that Sue Ramirez is one of her bucket list when it comes to working in the showbiz industry.

Markus Paterson is a big discovery in this film, he can very well keep up with his co-actors especially with Jameson Blake. For a beginner like him, he seems quite good especially when delivering his lines. He made it a point that he is not your usual good looking boy in this movie but a person who can act.

Jameson Blake is without a doubt a versatile actor, no doubt about his acting skills because he is very talented and he can deliver his lines even by just using his eyes. Plus you will definitely fall in love with his character as Aris in this film, aside from his charms, his warm and adorable character in this movie will surprise you in the end so you really have to watch this movie.

I also love the character of Angellie Sanoy as Macha, she is so spot on as the typical girl buddy of Aris - she's honest, so honest that she can speak anything on her mind, she always give Aris the best advises making them the best tandem in this film, I can't imagine anyone portraying this role aside from her, she's really good!

All in all, I really enjoyed the movie. I recommend you bring a hanky or tissue when you decide to watch this film because you will definitely need it. Plus, it is directed by an award winning director who hemmed the movies Die Beautiful and Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes! Another thing is that you will surely love the soundtrack of this film, I love While We Are Young by Keiko Necesario. You'll also feel nostalgic with some of their backdrops and items used in the film like the typewriter, cassette recorder and more.

The story showcases how love is supposed to be - pure of surprises, worth a try and willing to sacrifice just to make that person happy, and it will also dig deeper in tackling how the internet has helped everyone into a better person or an evil person?
