Sponge Cola’s ninth studio album, Hometown, Part 2, seeks connectivity in uncertain times

Sponge Cola

Sponge Cola, a Filipino alt-rock band, has released their ninth studio album, Hometown, Part 2, via Sony Music Entertainment.

The four-piece band’s most recent album serves as an essential illustration of how music can be a therapeutic channel for expression and healing, embracing the anthemic immediacy of their 2022 outing with greater sweetness and moderation. The band also examines themes of overcoming adversity, resiliency, and unfulfilled relationships in the new album. Additionally, it continues the band’s full-length album, Hometown, which was published in December 2022.

As lead guitarist Armo Armovit describes it, Hometown, Part 2 is all about finding connection in uncertain times. “We explored new ways of expressing familiar feelings with renewed perspectives incorporating different production elements, arrangement choices, and improved approaches to performance.”

The term also speaks for itself, continuing one’s narrative in a manner similar to returning home after a long trip and staying an extra weekend to reset. On the other hand, the members’ passion with K-drama and documentaries as well as their personal first-hand accounts of actual occurrences served as inspiration for the record’s lyrics.

Drawing a lot of inspiration from pop and electronic elements, the 19-track album is produced by constant collaborator Joey Santos of Love One Another Studios, who has worked with some of the biggest and most underrated Philippine acts, including Ang Bandang Shirley, syd hartha, Coeli, and more.

Armo explains, “Joey Santos did a great job crafting the treatment for songs and dressing them in colors and styles that best express the message. The process was very organic and natural.”

Hometown, Part 2 is accompanied by the release of its focus track, “So Close,” which features pop singer Morissette. The song was specifically penned by Yael Yuzon, and tackles the story of two people who have built a deep connection over time, but whose relationship never really progressed into something that could last a lifetime.

“It’s a song that took me 20 years to write,” shares vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon. “Inspired by Dead Stars by Paz Marquez Benitez and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, So Close talks about the possibility of a mirage in our poetic memory, a ‘what if’ that may have been nothing more than a light radiating from a dead star. We might just be romanticizing things.”

Other songs in the album include previous releases “Labis-labis,” a soaring tune that puts a uniquely captivating but relatable spin on the ‘love song’ format; “Hometown,” a grungy pop track with electronic textures and a catchy chorus; and “Siguro nga,” a pop-rock ballad based on a character study of a popular K-drama character.

Track list:

1. Hometown

2.  Alamat (MLBB 5th Anniversary Theme)

3. Kung Ako ang Pumiling Tapusin Ito

4. Lumipas Ang Tag-araw

5. Laman Ng Panaginip

6. Labis-Labis

7. Siguro Nga

8. JAIRAH

9. Kung May Oras Ka

10. Signal #4

11. So Close (feat. Morissette)

12. Champions

13. In the End

14. Labis-Labis – Acoustic

15. Kung Ako ang Pumiling Tapusin Ito (Remix) (feat. Matthaios and Clien of ALLMO$T)

16. Kung Ako ang Pumiling Tapusin Ito – Acoustic

17. Siguro Nga – Acoustic (feat. Kai Honasan)

18. Siguro Nga (TMAC’s lo-fi Mix)

19. Laman ng Panaginip – Acoustic

Sony Music Entertainment has released Sponge Cola’s Hometown, Part 2 on all digital music platforms across the world.

On August 12 starting at 6 p.m., the pop-rock group will formally debut songs from their new album at an album launch event in Eastwood City Central Plaza. Free admission!

Toyota’s All-New Yaris Cross enables you to fuel your passions

The launch of another much anticipated subcompact car, the All-New Toyota Yaris Cross, by industry pioneer Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), renewed its electric vehicle lineup.

With its appealing price point, which makes it Toyota’s most inexpensive electrified vehicle to date, the All-New Yaris Cross, the newest addition to the automotive leader’s widest range of electrified vehicle offerings, is expected to accelerate Toyota’s quest for carbon neutral mobility.

TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto stated Toyota intends to bring the electrified lifestyle even closer to more Filipinos with the model’s simultaneous nationwide introduction on August 4 at an unveiling ceremony in Taguig City and in Toyota’s 72 dealerships nationwide.

“In Toyota, we believe in a multiple pathway approach to achieve carbon neutrality. One of the ways we are empowering you, our customers, to help build a sustainable future is through electrified vehicles,” said Okamoto.

“The way to maximize the environmental benefits of electrified vehicles is through widespread adoption. That is why we offer the widest range of Hybrid Electric Vehicles or HEVs in the market,” he added.

The All-New Yaris Cross expands the easy and practical HEV choices that Toyota offers to its customers, while providing a best-value package that combines a stunning, modern design with advanced vehicle features, and life-enhancing technologies perfect for today’s drivers who pursue their various passions.

From the inside out, the All-New Yaris Cross showcases solid and dynamic design, with its sleek exterior body in metallic colorways, black interior with blue accents, and advanced dashboard features.

The front grille features a trapezoid design, while its rear displays a compact back door and geometric rear lights. The HEV variant also has a panoramic moonroof to further accentuate the premium styling of the All-New Yaris Cross.

Both HEV and Gas variants sport LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and fog lamps while also showcasing sophistication with its rear combination lamp design.    

Under the hood, the All-New Yaris Cross is powered by a 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve, dual VVT-i engine with CVT transmission.

A look on the inside tells of mindful design, with features to elevate the riding experience such as a 7-inch TFT multi-information display, wireless charging dock, and panoramic view monitor. The All-New Yaris Cross also has convenience features such as electric power steering (EPS) and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto with Bluetooth and voice command. Exclusive to the HEV variant is the 6-Speaker Pioneer system.

The S HEV and V CVT variants are equipped with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) which includes Pre-Collision System (PCS), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The G CVT variant has active safety features such as Electronic Brake Distribution (EBS), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC).

The HEV variation, which represents Toyota’s steadfast commitment to a carbon-neutral future and is truly a halo model in terms of technology that is now accessible to everyone, is also the first electrified Toyota vehicle to receive the HEV carbon neutrality emblem.

Three variations of the All-New Yaris Cross are offered: the 1.5 S HEV CVT, starting at PHP 1,598,000; the 1.5 V CVT, beginning at PHP 1,296,000; and the 1.5 G CVT, costing PHP 1,199,000. The following colors are offered:

Getting Ready for the First Historic Victory Day Bike Ride in Baguio Honoring WWII Veterans is the Philippine Veterans Bank

A historic occasion that combines sporting and history will take place in Baguio City. On September 3, 2023, the Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) will host the first-ever Victory Day Ride, which will take cycling enthusiasts and history buffs on a tour to remember the sacrifices made by World War II veterans and spread awareness of Baguio Victory Day.

Mike Villa-Real, PVB first vice president for marketing and communications, said “the enactment of R.A. 11216 in 2018, marks September 3rd of each year as a special working holiday, marking Yamashita’s surrender and Victory Day in the Philippines. This day in 1945 is clearly a significant historical event marking the success and along with it, the toil and sacrifices, of the soldiers of both the United States and the Philippines. However, it is not as well-known as the “Araw ng Kagitingan” (Day of Valor) commemorated April 9 each year.”  

Organized in partnership with the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO), City Government of Baguio, Wartime Heritage Guild Philippines (WHG), Without Limits, Salgado PR, this ride aims to foster a deeper understanding of the city’s significant role during WWII while encouraging active participation in the sport of cyclists of all ages and backgrounds.

Inspired by the annual Ride for Valor that retraces the infamous Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride takes a different route, focusing on the historical sites and landmarks associated with Baguio City’s role in World War II. Cyclists and participants will embark on a 44.5 kilometer route that meanders through the city’s picturesque landscapes and historical spots, providing a unique opportunity to relive the past and honor the heroes who fought valiantly for freedom.

While the Ride for Valor primarily focuses on the Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride aims to balance the narrative by shedding light on the broader scope of World War II history in the Philippines. The Victory Day Bike Ride seeks to increase awareness about Baguio City’s role during the war. The event intends to give due recognition to the countless Filipino and American soldiers who fought for the country’s liberation

The Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) invites sports and cycling enthusiasts to join the Ride for Victory Day, a bike-for-a-cause event that aims to raise funds for the maintenance of the country’s historical markers and other World War 2 heritage sites.

The ride is open to fully vaccinated cyclists and all types of bikes with brakes. Villa-Real said participants may ride at their own pace, and will also implement a “No Helmet, No Ride” policy to ensure the safety of the participants.

Villa-Real also said a mechanic will be available to help those who encounter mechanical difficulties, while roving marshals will be present to keep track of the riders’ progress. Support vehicles are allowed, but riders should only ride in the vehicle if they choose to drop out of the event.

The non-competitive bike ride will have 5 pitstops: Start at Baguio City Hall, First Stop, Camp Allen, Second Stop, USAFIP-NL Marker, Third Stop, Sablan View Deck, Fourth Stop, Fort Del Pilr (Philippine Military Academy), Fifth and Final Stop, US Embassy in Camp John Hay.

The Ride for Victory Day registration price is P600 and includes a commemorative medal, an official event jersey, a race bib and passport, a loot bag, and a post-ride feast.

Before September 1, interested parties may register online at https://bit.ly/victorydayride-regform, while groups may send an email to [email protected]. Participants may also register on-site at the Baguio City branch of INSERT BIKE SHOP PARTNERS.

Veterans and their families from World War 2 own PVB, a private commercial bank. After the Bank’s new Charter was enacted into law, Post War Veterans and AFP Retirees became part owners.

Quantum Residences: This is where it all matters

In Metro Manila’s largest cities, there is an increasing need for residential space. This is because the real estate industry is thought to profit from the economy’s further opening up, particularly the increase in foreign investments and the reintroduction of office mandates.

In response to the rising demand for investment-worthy properties in Metro Manila, Federal Land, Inc.’s flagship real estate developer Horizon Land has launched Quantum Residences, a three-tower building ideally situated along Taft Avenue in Pasay City.

“Taft Avenue has seen a lot of development in the past decade and has been home to many students, young professionals, and growing families who are drawn by its proximity to top-notch schools, thriving business districts, and complete services and amenities that are essential for everyday life,” said John Frederick Cabato, General Manager of Horizon Land. “It is precisely this harmony of completeness, convenience, and vibrance that inspired the vision for Quantum Residences, now on its’ third and final tower. With this strategically located three-tower condo, Horizon Land empowers residents to pursue their aspirations and live a balanced and meaningful life.”

Located near the intersection of Taft Avenue and Sen. Gil Puyat (Buendia) Avenue, Quantum Residences’ big draws are accessibility and convenience. It is nestled near some of the top-performing universities in Metro Manila like De La Salle University, De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde, Arellano University, St. Scholastica’s College, and University of the Philippines Manila, as well as premier business centers like Makati Central Business District and Manila Bay Area.

Another draw of Quantum Residences is its transit-oriented location. Commuting residents can enjoy the pleasure of getting to places conveniently as city buses and jeepneys regularly ply the area. LRT-1 and PNR stations are also a stone’s throw away, while going to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, and Metro Manila Skyway would only take a short trip from the condominium.

Worthwhile investment

Quantum Residences has been proven to be a popular choice among homebuyers and investors since its launch. Its first two towers, the Aqua and Amethyst Towers, have enjoyed brisk and consistent sales take-up as more buyers see high investment potential in modern and affordable developments located in prime areas.

Prospective homebuyers and investors can expect Quantum Residences to become a lucrative investment. Investors are provided with well-built units for rent, which can benefit from rising prices and improving rental yields because of its central location to Makati CBD, Bay Area business park, university belt, various dining options, and retail hubs. While homeowners can enjoy comfortable living spaces that nurture a balanced and dynamic lifestyle as they face the ‘next normal.’

Work-life balance takes center stage

Quantum Residences offers studio units that are perfect for students, one-bedroom units ideal for young professionals, and two-bedroom units best for start-up families.

Each residential unit will be equipped with smart features like keycard door lock security, USB outlets, and fiber-optic internet connection provisions. Rest and relaxation comes easy with a wide range of wellness and recreational amenities such as swimming pools, fitness gym, KTV room, sky lounge, game room, gazebo, multi-purpose court, pocket garden, plaza, and jogging paths.

Residents who work or study from home can find alternate spaces for remote work and study at the business center, conference room, study lounge, and hobby room.

There will also be two levels dedicated to commercial and retail units located on the ground floor and second floor of the towers.

Horizon Land Grand Open House
