PUREGOLD OPMCon 2025 Makes History: OPM Generations Showcased!

I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't despise going to the Philippine Arena because 1, it's too far, 2, travel is too tiring, and 3 if the artist is worth it. I reckon it's the same sentiment for almost anyone from Manila right? Well the folks from PUREGOLD got me thinking because as members, they'll be giving us VIP treatment plus a lineup of artists that NOBODY in the right mind could ever resist. Imagine, the BIGGEST acts in Filipino entertainment all in one place. The boys from SB19, girl group BINI, top band Sunkissed Lola, vixens G22, rising KAIA, artists Skusta Clee and talented Flow G in one stage made me say a resounding YES as soon as I heard it. Whatever hardship I'll be experiencing traveling there will all be worth it just as long as I see them all.

As you can see on the top photo, I'm a silent A'Tin and have that guy Ken as my bias. But no, that doesn't mean I don't like the rest, because I do. There's a reason why, because they've continued to represent the country, and really, they've made us all proud! This goes the same with the other groups in the list, and I just can't believe it happened. Plus, there's more. 

BINI with James Reid

KAIA

Sunkissed Lola

G22 was so hot!

Flow G

Skusta Clee

They did a collab too!

When SB19.went out, everybody just lost it!

The finale song was super sweet, a fitting end to see them all singing one song!

At the event, they also surprised us with other iconic artists that performed with them. Names like James Reid, Rico Blanco, Mayonnaise, Yeng Constantino shocked us. . . then went on and did collabs with each other. It was really crazy, but crazy good. I felt I was witnessing history, thanks to Puregold who put this together out of their own pockets. They also had free stuff given away by their partner brands like Nestle, Nescafe, Koko Krunch, Chuckie, Tide, Safeguard, Cream Silk, Surf, Champion and Colgate. There were more but I didn't get to see them so they will remain unnamed haha! 

PUREGOLD OPMCON 2025 was certainly one for the books! It made history, seeing them all in one place was just a dream come true. Whoever says there was a group or fan war must be crazy. They're literally friends, and I'm sure this is not the last time that PUREGOLD is doing this. Thank you PUREGOLD!

Globe Wants You to Celebrate GDay Every Day!

When we arrived at the GDay Mediacon this evening, we were asked if we were ready to make GDay everyday. Sure, we are absolutely sure.

What's to come on GDay? According to Globe, they will be giving customers a whole lot more this 2024 and why not, everything is possible when GDay becomes everyday!

917 GDay Lead Peter Ramirez says "We have more ways to earn points, have more games and AI, even music with all new rewards. Opening the Globe One app and clicking join, prepaid customers can buy promos, and post paid customers can pay their bills. You will get additional points in doing several challenges. You can say Oh My G when you win raffles real time. You can also rally on several challenges for community goals and yes, you earn points from it. GFair, G activities, G Raffle Rush and more to encourage you to help and win some raffle prizes. One point is equal to 5 raffle entries, when you redeem you can instantly validate on forms weekly on Globe's channels. You might win phones, wearables, scooters, Avida Condo or trip to El Nido. Customers with multiple accounts like Globe Home and prepaid lines, you get more points too. This goes the same with Globe Business partners, at the hub you'll see more solutions. This is just the start!"

He adds "Our postpaid, platinum subscribers will have exclusive perks for top brands nationwide. There will be massive discounts, flash deals via Living it Large! Living it Live! and more!"

GFest is sold out where BINI is performing, it's a celebration to blend music, only for 25 points for tickets. Other performers like Sunkissed Lola, Jason Dhakal, with partner schools too. G Gantic Goals is where you can team up for causes where you can send points for goals to support 917 families. As of today, the cause is 61 percent and it only takes one point to help Filipinos. They want to thank all those who contributed, they want to help you give back to communities you care for. There will be more!

Crisela Magpayo Cervante of Globe's Marketing arm says "We are embracing change, we are evolving. Family is who you choose to live for. The time we spend with them is important. We want to support the needs of every home, in mobile or broadband services. We want to serve every version of the Filipino family. We can go forward together."

The year is certainly short for the things that Globe is planning especially with the way they connect with their loyal customers, and from the things we've seen at the event... being with Globe seems worth it.

For those who want to see and note of the nitty gritty details of what GDay every day means, make sure you follow their social channels because they'll be posting more of the events and mechanics for rewards on it. Make it a G Day Every Day!

PS: Events like the G Fair and Living It! will be at the BGC Amphitheater on September 20 to 21. G Fest will happen at the SMX Convention Center, but yes the BINI gig is already sold out. G Fest will be happening in the Visayas at Iloilo City's Convention Center, so make sure you make time to be a part of it!
