Catch Space Jam: A New Legacy as it steps onto the court exclusively on HBO GO this September 3!


Welcome to the Jam! Basketball champion and global icon LeBron James goes on an epic adventure alongside Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes as Space Jam: A New Legacy gets in the game on HBO GO from September 3. 

 

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee and composed of an innovative filmmaking team including Ryan Coogler and Maverick Carter, this transformational journey is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids. When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny, and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized roster of professional basketball superstars as you’ve never seen them before. 

Space Jam: A New Legacy features LeBron James starring alongside Oscar nominee Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, newcomer Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman, Eric Bauza, and Zendaya.

 

With Tunes vs Goons, LeBron’s in for the highest-stakes challenge of his life that will redefine his bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. 


A Whole New Game 

 

LeBron James has always felt a special connection to “Space Jam.” “When I was 12 years old, I needed inspiration where I was growing up,” he states. “Michael Jordan was one of those people who gave me inspiration, along with my mother. When I think back on watching ‘Space Jam,’ always having a love for Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes, and then you add Michael Jordan, one of my favorite inspirations growing up? It felt like it was a match made in heaven for me.”

 

In the 25 years since the original film’s release, James has ascended to the top of the basketball world. Now he finds himself in front of the camera, eager to carry on a legacy he’s proud to uphold. “It’s an honor for me to be a part of the ‘Space Jam’ world, to be able to reintroduce it to kids today and show them how unbelievable the Looney Tunes are, and how great our sport of basketball is, as well.” 


Owning Your Skillset

If James is the soul of “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” the film’s heart can be found in Cedric Joe, who plays the character of LeBron’s tech-savvy middle child, Dom. Dom shares his dad’s all-in enthusiasm for his passion; the trouble is, for Dom that’s not basketball. Instead he dreams of being a videogame designer, but he struggles to speak up in fear of disappointing his dad. 

 

However, once they are pulled into the Warner 3000 server-verse, it’ll take both of their skills to find their way out. “Dom is in love with videogames and coding. He is good at basketball but that’s not his main priority,” explains Joe. “Dom wants to build videogames and that’s what he wants to show his dad he can do, but his dad doesn’t really care about videogames because that’s not his priority. His dad is about basketball, and so he wants his sons to play basketball.”

 

“I think all ages should see this movie,” adds Joe. “It does have a message, that parents should sometimes open their eyes and see that their kids or other people can do more, that they have more skills than what you might think they have. Don’t underestimate people. Just listen.”

 

Stream or download Space Jam: A New Legacy on HBO GO. Download the app at the App Store or Play Store on your device. You can also access HBO GO via Cignal or at https://www.hbogoasia.ph/HBO GO can be accessed via Android TV, Apple TV, LG TV and Samsung Smart TV – and comes with AirPlay and Google Cast functionality.

Get online class ready with vivo V21 5G and V21e’s sleek and trendy features

It’s back to the daily grind for students as the new school year starts. This means they need a reliable device that will aid them in their online classes and ensure they are able to follow their lessons and learn without any difficulties. And as one of the leading smartphone brands globally, vivo ticks all of the boxes when it comes to an online-class ready smartphone, and more with the vivo V21 5G (https://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone-orig/vivo-V21-5g/) and V21e (https://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-V21e/). Here are some tech essentials that make these devices stand out. Get online class ready with vivo V21 5G and V21e’s sleek and trendy features

High-quality camera for the best video call quality

With many online classes requiring students to turn on their cameras for attendance and other activities, having a high-quality camera is a must which makes V21 5G and V21e the perfect smartphones. As vivo’s ultra-sleek Selfie phones, the V21 5G and V21e comes with a 64MP rear camera and a 44MP front camera with Optical Image Stabilizer that ensures only the clearest and most-flattering photos and video calls.

Robust RAM for a zero-lag performance

Many online classes require a lot of educational videos and online quizzes which makes a zero-lag experience a non-negotiable. With the Extended RAMs of both the V21 5G and the V21e (8GB+3GB), students can access multiple apps and switch apps with ease. They can also access files and programs faster so they don’t get left behind in their classes.

Fast-charging battery for non-stop activities

With classes running for several hours, it is important to have a device that will not give up halfway through and will make students miss crucial lessons. vivo’s V21 5G and V21e both come with a robust 4000mAh augmented by a 33W fast charge that can bring a device from zero to 63% in half an hour which gives users more juice for more activities.

Clearest display for better viewing and reading

When most learning is done online and digitally, it is important to have a screen where users can see their required readings, videos, and other files clearly. With its 6.44” AMOLED Full-screen display, both the V21 5G and V21e ensures students will not miss anything.

Sleek, light, and trendy device for everything and beyond online learning

Smartphones are not only online-class exclusives as many students use their phones to socialize and unwind after classes end which makes it important that their devices are not bulky and inconvenient to use—as vivo’s slimmest 5G mobile phone to date at 7.29mm and just weighs 176g, the V21 5G and the V21e with its 7.38mm thinness and 171g weight, allows its users a handheld experience that allows them to do what they want, comfortably.

Get your hands on the V21 5G and V21e online via the official vivo store in Lazada and Shopee and vivo kiosks and stores nationwide. For more information and to get the latest updates, visit vivo’s official Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and check out www.vivoglobal.ph for more product information.

Nestlé Philippines has launched its vaccination program called “YOU CALL THE SHOTS #WeGotYour Vax”

Pursuing the protection of health in and out of the workplace amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Nestlé Philippines has launched its vaccination program called “YOU CALL THE SHOTS #WeGotYour Vax” covering all employees, their qualified dependents, and business partners. 

The program, administered based on government priority guidelines, highlights personal responsibility in caring for one’s health while underscoring Nestlé Philippines’ commitment to support vaccination efforts across the country, in solidarity with the recovery program of the national government.

Earlier in the year, the company had implemented several vaccine awareness campaigns including:

-        Know Your Vax – a series of talakayans or discussions in the form of employee webinars with Dr. Anna Lisa Ong Lim, of the Department of Health Technical Advisory Group;

 

-        Just the Vacts – a series of COVID-19 facts to promote credible vaccine resources on vaccine safety;

 

-        I Call the Shots – a series of employee testimonials on why they have chosen to be vaccinated, starting with the company’s own doctors and leaders.

This vaccination initiative in the private sector is part of "A Dose of Hope," a program led by Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion, which brings together the private sector, the national government, and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for the nation's multi-sectoral strategy to beat COVID-19.

Through its partnership with GoNegosyo, International Container Terminal Services Inc.- Foundation (ITCSI Foundation), and local government units, Nestlé Philippines is now actively vaccinating employees at all its work locations. By the first of week August, at least 80% of its workforce will have already received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. 

“(Nagpabakuna ako) para maproteksyunan ang sarili ko, ang mga mahal ko sa buhay, pamilya, ganun na rin ang mga kasama sa trabaho,” said Jim Malangis, president of the Nestlé Cabuyao Factory Workers Union.

[Translation:  I got vaccinated to protect myself, my loved ones and family, and my colleagues at work.]

“Alam natin na laganap pa ang COVID-19 sa labas, pero kailangan natin magpatuloy na magtrabaho sa planta,” according to Alex Ular, a supervisor and the first vaccine recipient at the factory.

[Translation:  COVID-19 continues to be widespread outside, but we need to keep working in the factory.] 

“As a microbiologist, I think it is my responsibility to share sa community what the benefits of being vaccinated are,” noted Matthew Santos, a quality assurance analyst.

“Vaccines are so important in the fight against COVID-19. This is why the implementation of our vaccination program has such a high priority. We recognize that the vaccines help prevent serious illness even if we do get sick,” stated Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO Kais Marzouki.
