Globe Studios’ ‘Gaya Sa Pelikula’ Is All About Celebrating Queer Love

Premiering Exclusively on YouTube on September 25 

Globe Studios’ ‘Gaya Sa Pelikula’ Is All About Celebrating Queer Love 

Admittedly, our perception of love — how to love, who to love, when to love — has been influenced  by all sorts of stories and tropes we see on the big screen and read in novels. In a landscape  dominated by straight leads, Globe Studios releases a powerful love story to show the queer  community that their own aspirational love stories are also meant to be told.  

Globe Studios, who has in its roster, high-caliber and award-winning films like Birdshot, Goyo,  Hintayan sa Langit, LSS and Dead Kids, is back with their first ever narrative digital series that is  surely going to bring all the “kilig” and laughter in a refreshingly unique way with Gaya sa Pelikula  (Like in The Movies). The series is a love letter for and from the community in how it freely  presents queer love, all its feelings, and all its possibilities that can lead to a most-deserved happy  ending. Without exoticizing queer love, the story is presented in the most normal way possible.  For the LGBTQIA+ community, Gaya Sa Pelikula proudly banners - “It’s time to take back our  story.”

Sebastian Rhodes drops hyper-pop anthem “Miss Me”

The new track also features rising Singaporean-Filipina artist Ysa Yanez

Australian pop sensation Sebastian Rhodes teams up with Filipina-Singaporean artist Ysa Yaneza on the new single “Miss Me”— out today, September 4, 2020 (Friday), on all digital platforms worldwide.

The eclectic pairing explores the glitchy but shimmering surface of pop music while maintaining a slightly experimental production for good measure. 

Turning the spirit of collaboration into a messy kind of fun, “Miss Me” is a brash, unapologetic kiss-off that takes a swipe at someone’s past relationships. According to Rhodes, he wrote the PC-inspired jam for all his exes who are trying to come back into his life, now that things are looking up and exciting. “They were nowhere to be to be found during the tough times of extreme depression,” he adds.

TFC launches global Filipinos’ ultimate digital experience hub “TFCX” with “TFC Win From Home” this August

A lot has changed in people’s lives since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. People are encouraged to stay at home, most activities like buying groceries and reunions are now done online, and businesses are either closing or laying-off employees to sustain the business due to the economy drop. These changes made an impact on the lives of the people, including the overseas Filipinos.

TFC, being an innovative company that caters to the ever-changing needs of the overseas Filipinos, evolves with them by ensuring their safety but not sacrificing the access to their essential needs--from timely and relevant information and entertainment, to keeping the connection with their fellow overseas Filipinos, up to the aid they need to get through the everyday life of living abroad.
