Visit the Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 Adventure Land at the SM North EDSA The Block Atrium from June 6 to 21.



It’s been years since Woody, Buzz, and the gang said their goodbyes to their human, Andy, which left all of us crying our eyes out at the cinema – and we’re honestly still not over it.

SM Cinema is celebrating this much-awaited comeback by bringing the magic from the movies to real life with the Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 Adventure Land, a land full of classic carnival games sure to bring out the kid in all of us!



Take a trip down memory lane and test your accuracy with a game of ring toss and hit target alien spaceships using plastic balls. Feel like a real life Bo Peep and try to guide your sheep from one pen to the other. And finally, let your creativity flow by creating your very own Forky on the velcro wall – and be sure to take a photo and share it with all your friends!



In Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4, when Bonnie takes the toys on her family’s road trip, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep, whose adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. Woody and Bo are worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, and they soon realize that’s the least of their worries.

 Game-changer smartphone brand Realme has announced its official entry in Europe, offering real value with its high-caliber products that feature powerful performance and contemporary design.

Realme engaged with key European media in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain from May 20 to 24 for the launch of the #RealGamingPro realme 3 Pro. As realme’s latest midrange gaming champion, the realme 3 Pro is expected to change the Europeans’ expectations of phones from this price segment with its modern design and high-tier performance.

Engraving patterns in microns on the back cover give the realme 3 Pro a unique S-shaped lighting effect through light reflection and refraction.

Starbucks Philippines offers more opportunities for their partners to volunteer through Renovate to Educate



Starbucks partners (employees) are trained not only to pour an extra shot of good in each cup but also in everything they do. Now, Starbucks aims to inspire its partners to serve beyond stores and straight to communities where they are a part of. This is in line with the company’s goal to have 100% of its stores globally to participate in a community service starting 2020.



Starbucks is taking steps towards this commitment through celebrating the Global Month of Good annually every April. During this month, Starbucks partners from stores all over the world will lead projects that will help strengthen the communities they serve.




To commemorate the Global Month of Good in the Philippines, Starbucks began inspiring volunteerism among its partners by involving them in several community service projects since April. This time, the partners volunteered for the Renovate to Educate (RED) Project with long-time partner, Teach for the Philippines (TFP).



As a non-profit organization with a mission of providing quality education to Filipino children, TFP works together with Renovate to Educate to rehabilitate classrooms and facilities in public schools across the country.



Recently, a troop of close to 70 Starbucks partners from 26 stores visited the Agripino Manalo National High School in Pateros to refurbish chairs and tables and repaint facilities of the school which has been used as a voting center in the last elections.



By the end of the day, the partners were able to build ten bookshelves, repair and repaint seventy chairs, refurbish nine tables in the school canteen, and repaint an entire classroom and canteen.



Apart from their service through Renovate to Educate, Starbucks also offers more opportunities for their partners to volunteer through partnerships with other organizations, including Haribon Foundation and Habitat for Humanity.



Starbucks has continued to expand its business globally with thousands of stores in different countries. With this huge network, the brand aims to use its scale in doing good and to work towards its mission of nurturing the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time. By empowering each of its partners and stores to uplift their communities, Starbucks truly creates ripples of change.
