ERASERHEADS: COMBO ON THE RUN conquers the international stage with screenings at two major film festivals next month: the 44th Annual Hawai'i International Film Festival in the United States and the International Sound and Film Festival in Samobor, Croatia.

Directed and produced by Maria Diane Ventura, the critically acclaimed docu-film is part of the official selection for Spotlight On The Philippines, a showcase featuring new Filipino films that are redefining storytelling in groundbreaking, boundary-pushing ways. It will be screened at the Consolidated Theatres Kapolei 3 on October 30, 2025 at 6:00 pm in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

TFC supports Martin Nievera's historic September concerts in Las Vegas and Honolulu this Labor Day weekend

It’s rare for any artist to have almost back-to-back concerts in two of the biggest cities for entertainment – Las Vegas and Honolulu.  Moreover, it’s even rarer for artists to hold such concerts in premier venues like the M Resort Spa Casino and Blue Note Jazz Club Restaurant.

But trust Philippine Concert King Martin Nievera to pull off such a feat.  After all, he has several records of being first in his colorful career as a live concert performer, recording artist, musician, composer, actor and producer. Martin was the first Goodwill Ambassador of ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC), the leading Filipino media and entertainment network. He was also the first Ambassador for the Bantay Bata Program of ABS-CBN Foundation which has become a model for child care, rescue and protection services. Most recently, Martin became TFC’s first artist to perform the U.S. national anthem ahead of a Golden State Warriors game at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California back in March of this year. And these are just a few to mention because he also set records in terms of platinum record sales and concert attendance.
