Gold’s Timeless Value

10-Year Gold Price History in Philippines Pesos per Gram (Source: Gold Price)

The chart highlights the 10-year trend of the per-gram price of gold in the Philippines from 2014 to 2024, showcasing an impressive overall increase of 194.22%. Starting at approximately ₱1,500 per gram in 2014, gold prices steadily rose over the decade, reaching a peak of ₱5,000 per gram by 2024. The upsurge became particularly pronounced after 2020, with sharp surges driving the price to its highest point. This consistent growth underscores gold's enduring value as a long-term investment, despite occasional volatility. With this trajectory, the forecast suggests a potential rise in 2025, reinforcing gold's reputation as a stable and attractive asset for the coming year.

From nostalgic drama to pulse-pounding action and heartwarming musicals, here's your perfect streaming menu for the unforgettable holiday season. Grab your blanket, settle in, and let the binge-fest begin!

1. Mad Men

Start your binge fest with the moody brilliance of Mad Men. Set in the slick, whiskey-soaked advertising world of the '60s, this series is a masterpiece of drama and questionable life choices. Don Draper (Jon Hamm), with his flawless suits and complicated personal life, will reel you in, but the show's entire cast of characters will keep you hooked. Catch the style, catch the drama—and maybe pour yourself an Old Fashioned while you’re at it. 

2. Paris Has Fallen 

Need something to counteract the warm fuzzies of the festive season? Enter Paris Has Fallen. With explosive drama (and literal explosions), this action-packed series will crank up your adrenaline. Because nothing screams "holiday spirit" like saving the world one city at a time, right?

3. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist

Quirky, emotional, and packed with epic musical numbers, this series will have you laughing, crying, and singing along before the credits roll. 

4. Normal People

Feel like breaking your heart a little this holiday? Normal People understood the assignment. This beautifully told story of Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell (Paul Mescal) is as raw and real as it gets. It’s about love in all its messy forms, navigating complex relationships, and growing with the pain of being human. Maybe grab tissues. Definitely grab tissues.

5. Killing Eve

If you haven't yet dived into Killing Eve, where have you been?! This cat-and-mouse drama between Eve (Sandra Oh), a whip-smart MI6 agent, and Villanelle (Jodie Comer), a dangerously charming assassin, is nothing short of addictive. It's sharp, funny, and just the right amount of twisted, with characters you'll love and hate equally. 

6. Power Franchise

Want your holiday streaming to last long into the New Year? Hello, Power Franchise. Created by The Good Wifewriter Courtney A. Kemp in collaboration with 50 Cent (who plays recurring character Kanan Stark in the series), this gripping franchise follows the high-stakes world of crime. Starting with the hit series Power and followed by Power Book II, III, and IV, there’s plenty of story to go around. Plus, everyone knows it’s not the holidays without a bit of family drama.

Whether you're in the mood to laugh, cry, or sit on the edge of your seat, Lionsgate Play’s catalog has you covered.

 

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars Fans Treated to a Surprise Performance by Banda San Jose at Bonifacio High Street!

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars fans in Bonifacio High Street were delighted last December 21, 2024 when local musicians from Banda San Jose surprised them with an incredible pop-up performance. 

Those who witnessed this musical feat got to hear the record-breaking collaboration between Bruno Mars and Blackpink's ROSÉ: "APT.", as well as two songs from the latter's newest solo album "rosie" – "number one girl" and "toxic till the end."

• 
  

To give the crowd something to move and groove to, the band also performed some of Bruno Mars' greatest hits like "Uptown Funk," "Just the Way You Are," and "Locked Out of Heaven.”

The APT. Formula: two global powerhouses create an irresistible hit 

This lively marching band performance comes months after the release of the hit single APT., which has garnered critical acclaim throughout the world. 

To date, this collaboration by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars has achieved the feat of being the biggest debut for a male-female duet on YouTube. APT. also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 charts, and retained this spot for five weeks. 

As individual artists, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have also been breaking records of their own. The former has set the record for the highest monthly listeners on Spotify by a K-Pop artist, which isn’t surprising given the success of her debut album. Meanwhile, Bruno Mars has amassed over 120 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making him the number one artist in the world. 

It’s clear that both these musical icons continue to go beyond their already-impressive portfolio, and have cracked the code for producing hit after hit. Whether or not ROSÉ and Bruno Mars do another collaboration, fans are sure to get more amazing music from both of them in the future. 

Listen to ROSÉ's debut album, “rosie,” here.

Three winners took home a Honda ADV 160 motorcycle, 5 winners for a Crystal UHD TV, 10 winners for an Honor X6B smartphone, 10 winners for auto insurance coverage courtesy of RideSecure, and 150 winners for a specially curated Christmas basket.

Beyond showing gratitude to its partner drivers, inDrive honors the government mandated 20% discounts for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, students, and national athletes and coaches. Through this, inDrive will also remain committed to providing passengers with affordable mobility solutions even during the holiday rush. 

 

Starting December 18, eligible passengers can claim their reimbursements by completing a form within 14 days of ride completion and submitting a valid ID. These will then be processed within 5-14 business days. Once processed, passengers can expect confirmation emails for successful reimbursements. inDrive endeavors to make the process more convenient for its users once it updates the app. 

 

Guinto added, “As part of this commitment, inDrive would like to take this opportunity and announce that we fully shoulder the mandated 20% discounts for senior citizens, PWDs, students, and national athletes/coaches, ensuring our drivers’ earnings remain unaffected. Starting December 18, 2024, eligible passengers can claim these discounts through a simple reimbursement process, with seamless support and timely processing.”

 

“Next year marks an exciting chapter for inDrive as we expand into new cities, bringing fair mobility to more communities and creating opportunities for drivers and passengers alike. We’re also rolling out advanced safety features to foster trust and peace of mind and introducing our Taxi Module to support taxi drivers and provide passengers with more options,” Guinto conclude

 

This season, inDrive commits to aid the high demand for ride-hailing services and reasonable fares and earnings for its users across the Philippines.
