ZOOTOPIA 2 ROARS TO #1 ON DISNEY+ WITH 32M VIEWS GLOBALLY IN ITS PREMIERE WEEK
Zootopia 2 is racing ahead on Disney+, hopping to 32M views globally in its first seven days, making it the #1 film on Disney+ during its premiere week. Its arrival on service builds on the enduring popularity of the franchise: together, Zootopia, Zootopia+, and Zootopia 2 have been streamed over 885 million hours globally to date.
The film’s strong debut on Disney+ follows in its huge theatrical pawprint. It shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time with $1.9 billion worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film ever and the #1 domestic release of 2025.
The sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original Zootopia, which captivated fans around the globe and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2017. Zootopia ranks as the #7 movie on Disney+ of all time and has been one of the most-streamed movies across all platforms in the U.S. for three out of the last six years, according to Nielsen.
The world of Zootopia has expanded beyond the screen as well. In 2023, the Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first Zootopia-themed land, introducing guests to the Mammalian Metropolis and bringing the beloved animal residents of the film to life. Its signature attraction, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, is the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, with one in four guests stating they came to the park specifically for the land. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the park also rapidly integrated new content inspired by Zootopia 2, debuting the film’s latest Gazelle song with one of the newest Audio-Animatronics just weeks after the film’s theatrical release. Plus, guests go wild for the food too – over 4.8M Disney Zootopia Pawpsicles (480 tons of ice cream!) have been sold to date.
The animated feature has also sparked strong fan engagement across consumer products and global retail, igniting viral demand for collectibles, blind boxes, and collaborations with brands such as Pop Mart, Miniso, Tony Moly, and Uniqlo. On DisneyStore.com, the iconic Zootopia carrot pen sold out twice – once at launch and again after restocking.
Fans can jump into the action with Judy and Nick and watch every adventure in the Zootopia Collection on Disney+.
Cloud 9 Crunchies: Experience the Ultimate Nine-Layer Loaded Indulgence
We all have those in-between moments. The few minutes before your next meeting starts, a quick pause after lunch, or that quiet break while waiting for your ride home. It’s not exactly “rest,” but it’s enough to breathe, scroll a bit, and enjoy something small—your own little me time. Those little pauses matter, so stretch those moments by enjoying a delicious treat like Cloud 9 Crunchies.
A familiar favorite, reimagined
Cloud 9 has always been known for its signature chocolate bars made with layers of nuts, nougat, and caramel, all coated in chocolate. It’s a chocolate that’s instantly recognizable and deeply familiar for Filipinos.
This time, the well-loved chocolate brand introduces Cloud 9 Crunchies, an entirely new format that's all about fun textures and satisfying crunch. Instead of nuts and nougat, this bar has nine loaded layers of caramel, crispies, wafer sheets, and chocolate cream filling, wrapped in smooth milk chocolate.From the first bite, it feels different—in a good way. Lighter, crunchier, and packed with chocolate goodness, Cloud 9 Crunchies can turn snacking into something you actually look forward to.
The wafers deliver that light, crisp crunch, the crispies add texture, the chocolate cream filling brings richness, and the caramel adds just the right touch of sweetness. Together, they create a fully loaded choco-crunchie bite with no filler and no empty moments—just layer after layer of enjoyment.An affordable treat, a surprisingly big reward
At ₱8.45 SRP, Cloud 9 Crunchies feels like a cheerful little win. It’s affordable, easy to grab, and far more satisfying than you’d expect at that price point. With its nine-loaded layers, it stretches your snack break just a little longer, making those few minutes feel extra enjoyable.
Cloud 9 Crunchies takes a familiar favorite and makes it even more exciting. Crunchy, fun to eat, and seriously satisfying—this is snacking, leveled up!
Sometimes, the best moments are the small ones—and they’re even better when they come with nine delicious layers.

Uratex Champions Better Sleep with “8-Hour Movement” at AbensonHOME Waltermart Makati for World Sleep Day
Many people spend hours researching the next phone, television, or kitchen appliance for their home. Yet when it comes to the bed—the place where we spend nearly a third of our lives—the decision is often made quickly and replaced only when absolutely necessary.
Sleep experts say the bed deserves the same thoughtful consideration as any other home essential. A well-designed mattress supports the body throughout the night, helping people fall asleep more comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed.
For Uratex, the country’s leading mattress brand and a long-time advocate for better sleep, this insight highlights the importance of helping Filipinos rethink how they approach rest at home. In celebration of World Sleep Day, Uratex brought its “8-Hour Movement: A Wake-Up Call for Better Sleep” to Abenson Waltermart Makati, highlighting how the right sleep environment—and the right mattress—can make a meaningful difference in achieving truly restorative sleep.
A Smarter Approach to Better Sleep
Held on March 14, 2026, the event transformed part of the Abenson retail space into an interactive setting where guests could learn more about sleep health, explore Uratex mattresses, and discover practical ways to improve their nightly rest.
By bringing the 8-Hour Movement to Abenson Waltermart Makati, Uratex places the conversation about better sleep in one of the country’s most trusted destinations for home appliances and essentials.
“Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health, yet it’s rarely discussed when people think about upgrading their homes,” said Christian Cheng, Category Manager “With the 8-Hour Movement, we hope to show how the right mattress can help people achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.”For AbensonHOME, the collaboration aligns with its reputation as a trusted retailer for appliances and home essentials that improve everyday living.
“At AbensonHOME, we’ve always focused on helping customers find products that make everyday living better,” said Ms. Pearl Perlada, Sr. Marketing Manager.. “Partnering with Uratex allows us to highlight that sleep is just as important as any appliance or home essential.”
Expert Insights on Healthy Sleep
The afternoon program was hosted by Betong Sumaya, who guided guests including Charlie Fleming, PBB Celebrity Collab Edition Season 1 Alumni, through a series of discussions and activities centered on the importance of sleep.
A key highlight of the event was an expert talk by Dr. Reinzi Bautista, physician, Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine, who shared insights into the science behind the 8-Hour Movement. The talk emphasized how consistent sleep habits and a supportive sleep environment contribute to overall health and wellness.
Following the discussion, invited key opinion leaders and influencers joined the stage for a short interview segment, sharing their personal experiences in maintaining healthy sleep routines despite busy schedules.
Guests also took part in several interactive segments designed to make the conversation around sleep both engaging and informative.
A Celebration of Better Rest
Throughout the month, visitors can explore Uratex mattress displays at Abenson Waltermart Makati and experience firsthand how proper support and comfort can influence sleep quality.
For Uratex, the initiative reflects its long-standing mission of helping Filipinos achieve better sleep. “Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health,” Christian Cheng, Category Manageradded. “By bringing the 8-Hour Movement to places where people make decisions about their homes—like AbensonHOME—we hope to remind everyone that better days begin with better nights.”
Through its collaboration with AbensonHOME, Uratex continues to bring the conversation about sleep closer to Filipino households—one mattress, one habit, and one better night’s rest at a time.

mWell Earns Second Global Mobile Award, Marking Another Milestone for the Philippines
Metro Pacific Health Tech's mWell, the country’s fully integrated health and wellness mega app, brings Philippine health technology to the global stage, having won the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Award for Best Mobile Innovation Supporting Emergency or Humanitarian Situations under the Tech4Good Category at the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, making it the first Philippine healthtech app to win in this category. This marks a back-to-back GLOMO win following its 2023 award for Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life.
“Digital innovation is key to our commitment to national progress,” said Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman of mWell and MPIC. “Through mWell, we continue to harness technology to bring quality healthcare closer to every Filipino.”
“This recognition affirms our focus on advancing
healthcare inclusion through innovation,” said Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President
and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of MPIC.
“Our goal is simple: ensure healthcare is within reach for communities that
need it most.”
Global Recognition for Philippine Health Technology
Organized by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), a global organization that unites the mobile ecosystem to drive innovation, advance connectivity, and enable positive business and societal impact, the GLOMO Awards are widely regarded as the mobile industry’s most prestigious recognition worldwide, honoring innovations that transform connectivity and improve lives worldwide.
The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on March 4 and selected by a panel of more than 250 independent experts from across the global mobile ecosystem. With this recognition, mWell joins leading global brands such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei, China Mobile and China Telecom among this year’s winners across various categories at the 2026 GLOMO Awards.
Lara Dewar, CMO of the GSMA, said: “Over three decades in
and the GLOMOs continue to set the benchmark for what true excellence looks
like in our industry. The standard from this year's winners is extraordinary,
with every winner tonight representing innovation and excellence with real
purpose and global ambition. Being recognised on the global stage at the GLOMOs
is something genuinely special and thoroughly deserved for all our winners.”
Bringing Healthcare Access for Underserved Communities
Today, the mWell ecosystem, together with KonsultaMD, serves 7.3 million users, with 37% coming from vulnerable and underserved sectors. To expand access to care, 179 mWell OnTheGo Clinic-in-a-Bag units have been deployed across remote islands, Indigenous communities, correctional facilities, and disaster-affected areas, supporting almost a million people across 17 Indigenous communities.
Across the Philippines’ 7,641 islands, access to
healthcare can still require hours of travel by land or sea. To help close this
gap, mWell uses mobile technology to bring care directly to underserved
communities.
Through mWell OnTheGo, a portable digital clinic with a smartphone or tablet preloaded with the mWell app, Wi-Fi, satellite internet, solar panel and power station, patients in remote areas can consult with licensed doctors, receive prescriptions, and access their health records without leaving their communities.
mWell also supports BangKalusugan (BangkaHealth) in
partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology
(DICT), deploying health boats that deliver telemedicine services to coastal
villages and island barangays, working closely with barangay health workers to
facilitate consultations and connect residents with doctors. In emergencies,
mWell launched Southeast Asia’s first medicine drone delivery service, enabling
life-saving medicines to reach patients in minutes instead of hours.
Advancing Digital Health Technology for Every Filipino
Through partnerships with national agencies, local governments, and institutions, mWell continues to build the country’s first integrated digital health ecosystem, connecting telemedicine, diagnostics, pharmacy services, wellness programs, and secure digital health records. With its end-to-end digital health solutions, mWell provides national agencies, healthcare providers, and communities with tools that they need to further address their health digitalization needs, further driving a more accessible and efficient care for every Filipino.
mWell supports Overseas Filipino Workers through its partnership with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), providing OFWs and their families worldwide access to Filipino doctors through digital consultations. As part of this effort, mWell is currently extending medical and mind health consultations for Filipino workers in the Middle East, allowing them to connect with doctors and mind health coaches who speak their language during times of uncertainty while away from home.
mWell is also working with YAKAP-accredited hospitals and clinics that are transitioning from PhilHealth’s eKonsulta (eKON) platform, which will be decommissioned on July 1, 2026. As a PhilHealth-certified Clinic Management System (CMS), the mWell YAKAP Claims Platform serves as a ready solution for clinics and hospitals previously using eKonsulta, enabling them to manage consultations and claims while supporting compliance and everyday clinical operations—safeguarding continued access to healthcare and PhilHealth benefits for Filipinos, especially indigent patients who rely on government healthcare assistance.
Looking ahead, mWell is collaborating with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to support the country’s digital health initiatives. Through the eGov PH App, users can also access mWell Teleconsult services and the mWell HealthID, enabling them to conveniently consult with doctors, view their health records, and access essential healthcare services through a unified digital platform.
By making health services more accessible and harnessing
mobile technology, strong partnerships, and continuous innovation, we remain
committed to improving healthcare access for Filipinos wherever they may be.
