Our idols’ inspirations: PLDT’s Dy, Reyes, Alcantara reveal their biggest supporters

 The elite athletes of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) may be some of the best to ever step on the court, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t need help to stay at the top of their game.

Sports, especially at the major-league level, is a tough pursuit with all of its treacherous lows that come with the exciting highs. An athlete doesn’t get to and stay in the pros without the support of some important people in their life.

 

The stars of PLDT High Speed Hitters know this all too well, which is why they’re not shy to appreciate the people that they leaned on throughout the years. This is much more so as they battle it out at the ongoing PVL All-Filipino Conference – pegged to be the longest conference since the league’s inception.

 

For opposite spiker Kim Kianna Dy, boyfriend and international basketball star Dwight Ramos is the rock that keeps her anchored enough to succeed. Dy just recently made her on-court comeback after suffering a tough knee injury all the way back in 2023.

 

“I have to give him credit since he’s been there for me since day one, especially through my injury,” she says. “He’s been a constant source of support throughout my recovery, inspiring me to give my best no matter where I am in my journey. He reminds me to be patient with myself and not to be too hard with myself on my progress. Being an athlete himself, Dwight has gone through his own series of injuries, and he understands the frustration of being sidelined. He can relate to the situation I’m in.”

 

Rookie setter Angge Alcantara also shares the same sentiments regarding her own burgeoning professional career. “I would like to thank my family and my partner for always being there to support me on and off the court,” says Alcantara, who has been orchestrating the team’s offense as veteran setter Kim Fajardo takes a step back. “I would also like to thank Coach Russelle Galang for guiding and supporting me ever since nag-start ako mag-volleyball until now.”

 

Speaking of family, close loved ones also play an important role in supporting star player Mika Reyes. “My parents, siblings and relatives, my teammates, and the fans are my biggest motivation,” the 2022 PVL Invitational Conference best middle blocker says. “Every game, I play not just for myself but for them.”

 

Throughout the many different inspirations all three players have in their lives, they also share one consistent source of support and strength: the fans of the High Speed Hitters.

 

“The fans play a big role in helping boost the team’s morale,” says Dy. “Seeing them support us through ups and downs helps uplift the team’s spirit. Seeing them cheer, whether it’s live from the venue or from their homes, reminds us that we’re not only playing for ourselves but also for everyone who believes in us.”

 

“Besides my team, I also get my strength from the fans, they are always there for us, so I don’t want to fail them,” adds Alcantara. “I am so happy they welcomed me to be part of the PLDT family.”

 

“Their support means everything,” shares Reyes. “Knowing they believe in us keeps us pushing forward, especially during tough times. Seeing them cheer, whether in the stands or online, gives us that extra boost.”

 

Finishing the PVL elimination round with 8 wins and 3 losses after a sweep of the Zus Coffee Thunderbelles last February 22, the PLDT High Speed Hitters shot up to top four in the standings. The Rald Ricafort-coached team, which has previously downed the powerhouse team Creamline Cool Smashers in an exciting five-setter, now heads to the qualifiers with much more confidence.

 

Armed with an impressive record and boosted by love from their supporters, PLDT now looks to make it even further and hopefully win its first PVL title.

 

“We just remind each other that this is a journey we are all going through together and no one is alone. ‘Pusong PLDT’ for us is giving our all during training and games and never stopping till we reach our goal. When things get hard, we remind ourselves why we’re doing this and it’s because of love and the puso we have for the team and the game,” says Dy.

 

“That love drives us to push through all the hard days.”

 

Continuously support Kim Kianna Dy, Mika Reyes, AnggeAlcantara, and the rest of the PLDT High Speed Hitters as they battle it out at the ongoing PVL All-Filipino Conference – Qualifying Round. For more updates, follow the team on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

BDO Unibank at Seven Bank ng Japan, Pinalakas ang Remittance Services para sa Overseas Filipinos

 Fast at secure remittance, handog ng BDO-Seven Bank partnership

Bilib ang mga Overseas Filipinos sa malakas na partnership ng BDO Unibank, Inc. at Seven Bank ng Japan, dahil mas pinabilis nito ang pag-remit ng pera sa Pilipinas. Kasama na dito sina Arianne Matucading at Den Mojica, na naka-experience ng magandang service ng dalawang bangko. 

"Simple at stress-free na ang pag-send sa family ng kinita ko," ani Matucading, sales executive sa Japan ng 11 taon na. "Kailangan kong magpadala dati ng pangbayad ng hospital bills sa Pilipinas. Nakapag-transfer naman ako agad dahil sa ayos ng service ng Seven Bank. Madali ring nakapag-withdraw ang family ko dahil sa BDO. Napaka-dependable nila, pang emergency man o pang-regular na gastusin."

 

No worries. Hanga si Arianne Matucading sa partnership ng BDO at Seven Bank dahil pinadali nila ang money transfer mula Japan hanggang Pilipinas.

Effortless. Dahil sa mobile app ng Seven Bank at Kabayan Savings account ng BDO, natanggap agad ng family ni Den Mojica ang padala nyang pera.

Saludo din si Mojica, customer service officer sa Japan, sa partnership ng BDO at Seven Bank.

 

"Napaka-reliable ng app ng Seven Bank at very accommodating ang staff nila, lalo na sa pagsagot ng client questions. Yung mga kamag-anak ko sa Pilipinas, kahit na limited ang access nila sa mga ATM, madali nilang nakukuha ang padala ko dahil sa mga cash payout services ng BDO," kwento nya.

Very convenient

Dahil sa reliability ng International Money Transfer mobile app ng Seven Bank, may peace of mind ang mga Overseas Filipinos sa Japan.

 

24/7 remittance delivery. Gamit ang International Money Transfer mobile app ng Seven Bank, sure ang mga Overseas Filipinos sa Japan sa fast at secure na remittance ng pera nila sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay sa Pilipinas.

"Nakita namin na problema dati sa mga Overseas Filipinos sa Japan ang lumabas sa kanilang work para pumunta sa bangko o mga remittance center at magpadala ng pera sa family nila," ayon kay BDO Senior Vice President at head ng Remittance, Genie T. Gloria. "Game changer talaga ang naging partnership namin with Seven Bank, dahil 24/7 na pwedeng mag remit gamit ang app nila, o alinman sa mga 27,000 ATMs nila sa Japan." 

Pinuri naman ni Seven Bank President at Representative Director Masaaki Matsuhashi ang always reliable remittance service ng BDO. "In the remittance business in general, there are some cases wherein the remittance fails to be sent. With BDO, all transactions are successfully sent by the senders and received by the beneficiaries. This is one of the strengths BDO has.”

Suportado ang mga Overseas Filipinos sa Japan. Dahil sa partnership ng BDO at Seven Bank na nagmula pa noong 2017, mabilis at walang aberyang nakakarating sa pamilya nila sa Pilipinas ang mga pinaghirapang pera ng mga Overseas Filipinos.

Flour, Fire ans Future: What’s Next for the Bakery Fair

For more than two decades, the Bakery Fair has been the beating heart of the Philippine baking industry. Organized by the Filipino-Chinese Bakery Association, Inc. (FCBAI), it has grown from a simple trade show into a premier gathering of bakers, suppliers, and entrepreneurs—setting trends, forging partnerships, and pushing the industry forward.

But after 14 editions and countless innovations, what’s next for this biennial baking extravaganza?

A Legacy Built on Growth

When the first Bakery Fair was launched in 2001, FCBAI wasn’t looking to build a massive event. Instead, it was about providing affordable opportunities for bakers—especially small business owners—to access new techniques, equipment, and industry connections.

The event flourished, attracting local and international suppliers, drawing in bigger crowds, and creating a platform for education, networking, and business expansion. Today, it is one of the most highly anticipated baking industry events in the country.

“The goal has always been to create awareness for bakeries, to help them grow and learn,” said past FCBAI president Gerry Chua, who spearheaded the first edition. “It’s not just about selling ingredients or equipment; it’s about fostering a real baking community.”

Adapting to the Times

Like any long-running event, the Bakery Fair has had to adapt to changing times. One of the biggest shifts happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, when face-to-face gatherings were impossible. Instead of shutting down, FCBAI pivoted to virtual events, launching the first-ever online Bakery Fair.

This shift proved that the industry was resilient and willing to embrace innovation. Suppliers held virtual demos, bakers attended online workshops, and knowledge-sharing continued despite the lockdowns.

Now, as onsite events return in full force, the challenge is to keep the fair fresh, relevant, and forward-thinking.

A National and Global Vision

One of FCBAI’s biggest moves in recent years was bringing the Bakery Fair outside of Metro Manila. In 2018, the event expanded to Davao, making it accessible to bakers from Visayas and Mindanao.

“Our greater vision is to bring together all the baking communities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,” shared past FCBAI president Bien Enrico Ah. “We want to give more opportunities to bakers in the provinces, not just in Metro Manila.”

This expansion highlights a key direction for the Bakery Fair: going beyond its usual boundaries. With regional outreach seminars, international learning trips, and collaborations with global baking organizations, FCBAI is actively positioning the Philippine baking industry as a strong player on the world stage.

Innovation and the Future of Baking

Technology is rapidly changing the food industry, and baking is no exception. Today’s trends include healthier alternatives, automation, and sustainability—all of which are becoming central themes at the Bakery Fair.

FCBAI has been investing in new research and training to help local bakers keep up with global trends. Under past president Bien Enrico Ah, the association acquired new equipment for flour analysis, ensuring that Filipino bakers have access to high-quality ingredients.

“As a true authority and leader in the baking industry, we are here to guide and assist bakers and entrepreneurs,” Ah said. “Though baking is an old culinary tradition, we want to make sure that the people behind it are updated, educated, and equipped to take on a growing and competitive market.”

With AI-driven baking technology, automated dough processing, and eco-friendly packaging solutions becoming the new normal, the Bakery Fair is expected to embrace and showcase more of these advancements in its future editions.

The Next Generation of Bakers

Beyond professional training, FCBAI is also investing in the future of the baking industry by engaging young talents.

Through initiatives like summer baking workshops for kids, FCBAI is sparking interest in baking at an early age. These workshops teach children how to make pizza, cupcakes, cookies, and pancakes—not just as fun activities, but as potential career paths in the industry.

With an influx of young, tech-savvy entrepreneurs entering the business, the Bakery Fair is evolving to cater to the next generation of bakers and pastry chefs.

What to Expect from the Next Bakery Fair?

As FCBAI gears up for the 14th edition of the Bakery Fair, it’s clear that this event will continue to grow and evolve. Expect bigger workshops, more interactive experiences, and a stronger focus on innovation—all while staying true to its original mission of supporting and uplifting Filipino bakers.

“At the end of the day, this is for the bakers,” said Christopher Ah, current FCBAI leader. “We want them to thrive, to grow, and to see that there’s always something new to learn in this industry.”

With a rich history, a strong present, and a bold vision for the future, the Bakery Fair isn’t just an event—it’s a movement that’s shaping the future of the Philippine baking industry, one loaf at a time.

DigiPlus Interactive Expands Globally with New Singapore-Based Entity, DigiPlus Global

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus Interactive), the pioneer of digital entertainment in the Philippines, is expanding its geographical footprint with plans to establish DigiPlus Global Pte. Ltd.

Liam Neeson Takes on a Hitman Role with Alzheimer in Memory, Streaming on Lionsgate Pl

A killer losing his memory, a mission that shatters his morals—Memory is a race against time, justice, and a mind in freefall. 

What happens when a calculated assassin is thrust into a deadly moral dilemma while battling memory loss? In Memory, Liam Neesonstars as Alex Lewis, a professional killer with a sharp skillset and a secret he can’t outrun. 

Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, Lewis is spiraling as his once-reliable memory begins to betray him. On the verge of retirement, he’s pulled into one last assignment that unravels into something much darker: a child trafficking ring operating in the shadows. Faced with an unbearable moral choice, Lewis refuses to complete the job and turns his lethal precision against the very people who hired him. But with his mind slipping and an FBI task force, led by Agent Vincent Serra (Guy Pearce), closing in, his quest for justice runs on borrowed time.

Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), Memory adapts the acclaimed Belgian crime thriller The Memory of a Killer, delivering a gritty exploration of justice, morality, and the fragility of the human mind. Featuring Monica Bellucci as a powerful El Paso real estate mogul shrouded in corruption, the film dives into a chilling conspiracy rooted in abuse and cover-ups.

On what drew him to take on the role of a hitman with a fading memory, Liam Neeson told WION, "I thought it was unique. We've all seen action movies with hitmen and assassins, but this was a character in an action-thriller who is legendary in how he executes his job, but we soon realize he's suffering from early onset Alzheimer's-dementia. I find that very, very intriguing and it also gave me the opportunity to research the world of Alzheimer's and dementia. I do have a friend back home who is suffering from early-onset dementia. It's sad to be in his company, because he's an old friend and yet the actor side of my brain is fascinated watching him come into his living room and he doesn't know where he is. He doesn't recognize the room. So, I wanted to pay a certain homage to him and use some of his mannerisms that he would make and do it the right way. It's so easy to overreact and that would be an insult to sufferers of the disease. I wanted it, and (director) Martin Campbell wanted it to be very subtle."

With edge-of-your-seat action and complex themes, Memory promises to leave a lasting impression. Stream it exclusively on Lionsgate Play starting February 28.
