Digital Lifestyle | Kroma: A New Digital Entertainment Platform Launched!!!

The Philippines is really going digital with a lot of projects in digital. Here's another exciting digital entertainment platform that has just launched and will be known as KROMA. You can enjoy Filipino entertainment with Kroma for movies, music and many more.

Here's the story of Kroma's launching:

KROMA CEO Ian Monsod leads the launch of the new tradigital entertainment company on Wednesday in a virtual event carried out in XR, a blend of live elements and augmented reality, giving a taste of what the company has to offer.

KROMA brings ‘TraDigital’ entertainment to Pinoy audience
 

A new “traDigital” company backed by the 917Ventures Retirement Fund is set to revolutionize the Philippine entertainment industry with the launch of KROMA Entertainment Inc.
 
KROMA brings together passionate content and experienced creators, the best talent, and innovative technology to produce fresh and engaging entertainment for the Filipino audience. KROMA offers entertainment for all across screens and formats, be it high-quality films, series, TV shows, music, digital content, or events.
 
The company is a culmination of Globe’s years of groundwork to further enrich and future-proof the Globe Group ecosystem.
 
“We are excited to share KROMA with you. It’s a treasure trove of creative and innovative content that’s relevant to our audiences, featuring the country’s best creators, and talents. We are determined to forge a new path for entertainment,” says Ian Monsod, CEO of Kroma Entertainment, Inc. “Our vision is to become the leading TraDigital entertainment player in the Philippines in line with our goal of entertainment for all.”
 
The Globe Group is going full-scale into entertainment with KROMA, expanding its earlier venture into live events, production, publishing and music with what was then called Globe Entertainment (GENT).
 
KROMA’s brands offer a new entertainment experience, converging to create a more engaging, exciting, and different experience for its clients and audiences.
 
While revamped, LIVE MNL, a rebrand of Globe Live, still works on events and activations on ground, online and in hybrid. They are keeping the same standards that have made them a keepsake in the industry after successfully bringing to life events such as It’s A Girl Thing, ETO NA! Musikal nAPO! and the first-ever Korean virtual fan meet back in 2020.
 
Likewise rebranded, Globe Studios has spun off its businesses: ANIMA continues to produce award-winning and critically-acclaimed films, series and podcasts, while SECRET MENU, a full-service production house, creates branded content and television commercials.
 
KROMA likewise takes charge of music label PARADISE RISING, in partnership with international label 88Rising, to champion Filipino talent on the global stage. KROMA’s video-on-demand platform UPSTREAM has been home to the latest films, series and events for Filipinos everywhere.
 
NYMA focuses on pushing talent growth across the company's network of partners and clients. PIE, a partnership with ABS-CBN and BEAM digital television network and supported by 917Ventures, is a multi-platform, real-time, interactive entertainment channel. It provides memorable and rewarding experiences, prizes and connections for and with Filipinos.
 
Rounding up the KROMA roster are Wonder, a pop culture and style platform, and FreebieMNL, everyone’s destination for the latest news and deals on food and lifestyle.
 
Globe supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, highlighting the roles of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development. It is committed to upholding the UN Global Compact principles and contributing to 10 UN SDGs.

Lifestyle Entertainment | Kapuso Stars on Kadayawan sa Davao 2019!

GMA Network, through GMA Regional TV, gives Kapusong Dabawenyos more reasons to celebrate this year’s Kadayawan Festival as it brings a stellar line-up of Kapuso stars to Davao on August 18 with the lead actors of GMA’s much-talked about series—Bihag, Love You Two, The Better Woman and the upcoming primetime show One of the Baes.

Jason Abalos

Mark Herras

Fresh from the successful run of their Afternoon Prime series Bihag, Jason Abalos and Mark Herras treat their fans to a Kapuso Mall Show in Gaisano Mall Toril on Sunday (August 18) at 2 pm.

Gabby Concepcion

Sure to bring kilig among Dabawenyos in SM City Davao at 4 pm on the same day is Gabby Concepcion of the heart-warming romantic comedy series Love You Two, which Gabby stars opposite Jennylyn Mercado.

Andrea Torres and Derek Ramsay

Further heating up the Kapuso Mall Show are the lead stars of the primetime series The Better Woman—Derek Ramsay and Andrea Torres.

Rita Daniela and Ken Chan

Definitely making the afternoon more fun and lovable are the uber cute team-up of RitKen—Rita Daniela and Ken Chan of the upcoming primetime series tagged as millennial fairytale One of the Baes.

Bihag brought viewers action, mystery, and suspense through a thought-provoking tale of how one mistake can lead to another. The series saw outstanding acting performances by Max Collins as Jessie, a simple and loving wife to Brylle (Jason Abalos) and mother to Ethan (Raphael Landicho); and Sophie Albert as Reign, the woman who was caught between Jessie and Brylle.

Meanwhile, top-rating Kapuso series Love You Two continues to charm viewers as Gabby and Jennylyn’s characters, Jake and Raffy respectively, finally affirmed their feelings for each other.

The Better Woman is Derek’s first project as a Kapuso and the role of Andrew de Villa is tailor fit for him. Andrea, meanwhile, convincingly switches between two very different roles, twin sisters Jasmine de Villa and Juliet Santos-de Villa aka Elaine Reyes. Since its premiere, both of them have been applauded by Kapuso viewers for their undeniable chemistry and outstanding portrayals of their characters.

Finally, One of the Baes is the first-ever primetime project of RitKen following their phenomenal team-up in My Special Tatay where they played the popular characters of Boyet and Aubrey. Produced by GMA Public Affairs, One of the Baes is tagged as a millenial fairytale where audience will be taken to a journey of love and dreams. It will also showcase the ups and downs of our Filipino Seafarers thru the story of Jowalyn (Rita) and Grant (Ken). Grant is a rich yet kindhearted environmental vlogger whose main goal while exploring the sea is to look for her princess, while Jowalyn is a goal-oriented girl who dreams of being the captain of a ship someday.

“We are happy to join our Kapusong Dabawenyos in this year’s Kadayawan Festival by bringing some of today’s sought-after Kapuso stars,” says GMA Regional TV Vice President and Head Oliver Amoroso. “Amid their busy schedules, the stars of Bihag, Love You Two, The Better Woman, and One of the Baes are taking a break to fly to Davao and treat their fans as their way of thanking the loyal Kapuso viewers for their support. We hope to see our Kapusong Dabawenyos in Gaisano Mall Toril and SM City Davao this Sunday for a fun-filled afternoon,” he ends.

Lifestyle Entertainment | K-pop Fans, Watch NaverTV Anywhere

Fans swear by NaverTV being the best Korean entertainment hub on the planet, but a lot of the content is exclusive to South Korea, so even if you have an account you’ll be barred from enjoying its shows. If you’d like to tune in from elsewhere in the world when you’re traveling, we have great news for you! Read on to find out how to gain access with a VPN.

Stream NaverTV with the help of a VPN

The easiest way to access NaverTV from anywhere around the world is through the use of a VPN. A VPN is a tool designed to help you bypass geo-restrictions by switching your IP address. At the same time, it provides network security and guarantees the privacy and security of your network traffic. But how does a VPN help you stream South Korean Content anywhere in the world?

Why a VPN helps you access South Korea Only content

Typically, streaming platforms such as NaverTV limit viewership of their content to a precise geographic location – South Korea in this case. The mechanism usually relies on identifying your IP address, whereby devices with a South Korean IP address gain access. One must find a way to switch the IP address automatically assigned to their device if they wish to know how to overcome geo-restrictions, which is why a VPN is helpful. Once installed, a VPN provides the user with the option of selecting a VPN server location – a mechanism designed for network security but useful in bypassing such inconveniences as geo-blocking. The question is; Should a VPN only be used by those outside South Korea hoping to stream NaverTV?

Why use a VPN when in South Korea?

Streaming content requires a fast, stable connection, which could prove costly. That is one of the reasons people love public Wi-Fi so much. However, relying on such a connection could be a costly mistake, especially when you’re clueless about the risks of using public Wi-Fi. While the ideal way to avoid the dangers associated with public Wi-Fi such as hacking is to avoid the Wi-Fi altogether, that is not an option for those looking to enjoy NaverTV but lack the resources to put up their connection. Luckily, a VPN’s primary function is network security through the encryption of network traffic coupled with the IP switch. Therefore, even those still within South Korea should install a VPN if they wish to remain secure online.

The Bottomline

Much as a VPN provides all the convenient benefits, the quality of those benefits depends on the VPN. For instance, some VPNs store user data such as connection logs, which undermines your cybersecurity while others have a limited number of server locations, which affects your streaming. Your choice of VPN is, therefore, of critical importance for K-pop fans looking for quality streaming.

Lifestyle | Enjoying Repertory: A Little Princess

Cast of A Little Princess

There a lot of forms of entertainment that one can enjoy. Yes, things that can make your senses happy! Guess what, watching and hearing a repertory is a superb experience! Thanks to my friend, Glenn, for the invite and free entertainment. :-)

This is a 3-hour show that is full of singing, dancing and drama. The little princess is in the person of Sarah. Yes, it is a very favorite character to a lot of Filipinos. It also has lots of funny meme that says "ang pagbabalat ng patatas" or the peeling off of potatoes - a well off  to rags girl story then back to  being well off again. :-p

I am invited by my friend to watch the show. Yes, just invited, but I don't have the budget to watch so he offered me for free!!! Good thing there are tickets still available that time - the last day of show after several weeks of entertaining. Good thing also that the spirit of Christmas is there that my friend was like under the spell of Christmas to share his blessings... :-p

The Ticket

I really enjoyed the show. There is a familiarity over the story, and the thing that makes it more interesting is how it will be done through music. The show is very colorful - displaying an imaginative side of a loud girl who immensely influence other people.

The sequence of the story started with the life of Sarah being well off, being envied by Laviña and even by Miss Minchin - the head of the school. There are several incidents that played along until some news saying of the death of Sarah's father that brought to bankruptcy. That is why Sarah is urged to work, along with Becky, for the school because of alleged debt that Sarah's father has to the school. Then, Sarah is searched by her father's loyal friend which is heart-wrenching. There are struggles along the way of a then well off girl who served as a helper who is starved and got rid of comfort. Then, she is found! Escaped! Reunited! Back to being well off again!

The show is very timely for the Christmas season. People who watch are reminded to be good, positive, generous, kind, warm, imaginative and respectful. There are some negativities that may abound anybody but it should not be a reason to be rude. Certain issues should be addressed properly and should not be like a vengeance of insecurities.

Indeed, I enjoyed the show and shed a tear. I am really thankful to my friend and congratulations to all who portrayed in the show - an all Filipino show with live orchestra playing along. The message is clearly handed to the viewers.
