Kaing Mang Inasal Stories debut with trending JMFyang episode

“The series is part of our on-going Kaing Mang Inasal campaign. It is a celebration of the Mang Inasal experience—grill expertise, abundance, and the no-judgment, come-as-you-are warm ambiance in our restaurants.” ~Mike V. Castro, Mang Inasal President

Mang Inasal, the Philippines' Grill Expert, is introducing its distinctive IhawSarap and UnliSaya experience to TikTok with its first-ever Kaing Mang Inasal Stories, an eight-episode series based on the real, uncensored moments individuals share over their beloved Mang Inasal meals.

In the first episode, which started with real firstdate vibes on Valentine's Day, JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith played a new couple going on their first date. They find their most genuine, carefree selves when they indulge in their favorite Mang Inasal delicacies.

The show went viral on Valentine's Day as viewers shared how they could relate to the usual awkwardness of first dates.

“Ganyan talaga sa Mang Inasal, makakalimutan mong demure ka sa sobrang komportable at sarap ng pagkain tapos kasama pa yong taong komportable ka rin, (dining at Mang Inasal really has that comfortable vibe because you can be who you are as you enjoy satisfying food shared with a loved one you are truly comfortable dining with).” ~One follower commented

New episodes of the brand's first narrative series, Kaing Mang Inasal Stories, which showcases actual IhawSarap and UnliSaya experiences, will air every Friday at 3 PM through April.

‘Songs For Selina’ to debut in Philippine cinemas next month

“The entire film is deeply personal. It draws from our own lived experiences, the stories of our peers, and the unspoken truths that quietly exist within the industry. As artists ourselves, we understand the fear of being marginalized or blacklisted for addressing uncomfortable truths, especially in systems where power is unevenly distributed. That vulnerability is precisely why we chose to tell this story through film and music. Major studios and networks are not the only path. There is a space for us, and it’s time we collectively step into it—to strengthen, diversify, and elevate the state of our entertainment industry. The tracks were very much inspired by my own career, which made the songwriting process feel natural and intuitive. Each song was carefully shaped to serve the story—tailoring the lyrics and emotion to the script so that the music actively moves the narrative forward.” ~Jay R, CEO of Homeworkz Entertainment and the R&B singer behind enduring hits such as Sining and Bakit Pa Ba

The film delves into the realm of power, fame, and survival within the music business.

It's official: on March 18, 2026, the musically themed drama Songs For Selina will debut in theaters around the country. 

The film provides a sad yet accurate portrayal of the brutal realities of the music industry, and it was previously chosen by Tubi and Amazon Prime US for its North American premiere last year. In Songs For Selina, Mica Javier and Rachel Coates portray Selina and Maya, two musical soulmates whose bond is destroyed by the harsh and cutthroat character of the industry they once aspired to rule together.

Jay R, one of the movie's executive producers, highlights the importance of independent narrative in an industry that is usually driven by financial gain.

Songs For Selina features an ensemble cast that includes Jay R, Rachel Alejandro, Audie Gemora, Nicole Laurel, Leanne Mamonong, and Gian Magdangal.

Jay R. also co-wrote and produced the original movie soundtrack, which featured solo and duet performances by the main performers Rachel Coates and Mica Javier.

Songs For Selina is brought to you by Homeworkz Entertainment and is distributed in the Philippines by Black Cap Pictures. 

Never Feel, Never Fall with the New HUAWEI FreeClip 2

Designed to move the way you do, the Huawei FreeClip 2 redefines what everyday audio should feel like—effortless, stylish, and incredibly immersive. Built with Huawei’s signature innovation, this open-ear wonder delivers rich, crystal-clear sound without the pressure of traditional earbuds. Whether you’re hustling through meetings, creating content on the go, or simply enjoying your favorite playlist, the FreeClip 2 blends all-day comfort with powerful performance.

In this blog, let’s dive into why the Huawei FreeClip 2 is more than just a wearable—it’s a lifestyle essential for those who want freedom, function, and flawless audio in one sleek clip.

The HUAWEI FreeClip 2 is the latest generation of open-ear listening, designed for people who want exceptional sound, all-day comfort, and a truly secure fit. Its "never feel, never fall" experience keeps users aware of their surroundings. Based on Huawei's renowned Airy C-Bridge Design, this practical tech accessory revolutionizes the way open-ear earbuds should feel and sound with its intelligent, crystal-clear audio for lives that require continual connectivity and its comfortable, barely-there wear.

Fashionable Styles and Secure Fit with the Airy C-Bridge Design

Customers may move freely between long workdays, social events, and busy schedules with the Huawei FreeClip 2. Building on the success of the original FreeClip, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 has a lighter, softer, and more inventive design. The Acoustic Ball, which is designed and weighted to lie naturally near the ear canal, contains the audio driver. This keeps the design open-ear while enabling precise sound direction. It is counterbalanced by the Comfort Bean, a broad, flexible contact surface that offers a snug and comfortable fit. Because it lies softly behind the ear and uniformly distributes pressure across a broader region, it offers a really carefree wearing experience even after hours of continuous use.

At the heart of this innovation is the upgraded Airy C-Bridge Design, which is 25% softer than the previous version and has been proven to withstand over 25,000 bends. It is composed of a high-performance shape-memory alloy and skin-friendly liquid silicone. Because each Huawei FreeClip 2 earbud weighs only 5.1 grams and is optimized using data from over 10,000 ear samples, users may move freely without having to adjust or worry about slippage. It looks great with your everyday attire and stays in place whether you're running between appointments, going to the gym, or just hanging out with friends.

The Huawei FreeClip 2 is wearable tech jewelry that blends fashion and state-of-the-art audio technology. It comes in a range of stylish colorways to suit any taste or mood. Consumers can choose from Rose Gold for a subtle yet elegant touch; White for a clean and elegant look; Black for a striking and modern finish; and Denim Blue, which takes cues from classic denim textures, for a relaxed yet fashionable look. Additionally, the charging cover and C-bridge of certain color versions have a fine-grained denim texture.

The Butterfly, Flake, Star, and Tassel styles are among the interchangeable accessories that users may add to their Huawei FreeClip 2 to further personalize its look. These stylish accessories transform the earphones into expressive accents that complement both casual streetwear and elegant business dress.

Crystal-Clear Calls with Adaptive Multi-Mic System

The Huawei FreeClip 2 increases open-ear audio by offering sharper sound and more reliable calls in daily scenarios. Using a multi-channel DNN noise-cancellation algorithm, the earbuds' advanced three-microphone system—which incorporates a Voice Pick Up (VPU) bone-conduction microphone—isolates speech and reduces background noise. This makes it possible to have clear discussions even in congested streets, bustling cafés, and windy outdoor settings.

At the heart of Huawei's audio performance is its first powerful dual-diaphragm driver in a True Wireless Stereo (TWS) architecture, which is intended to deliver incredible sound from a compact size. This innovation, which boosts volume and bass performance by 100% over the previous iteration, allows users to enjoy fuller, more dynamic audio whether listening to music, podcasts, and video conversations equally.

An integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) AI Processor, which enables quicker and more precise audio processing, further improves the listening experience. The Huawei FreeClip 2's Adaptive Volume feature ensures that information is clear without requiring manual adjustment by automatically adjusting playing based on ambient noise levels. Conversely, adaptive voice enhancement dynamically enhances voices based on the background noise and the content being played. Whether making a call on a busy sidewalk or listening to an audiobook on the go, voices are always distinct and easy to hear.

All-Day Listening Experience with Long-Lasting Battery and IP57 Protection

With up to nine hours of listening time on a single charge and up to 38 hours with its charging case, the Huawei FreeClip 2 keeps users connected from sunrise to sunset. Because of their fast-charging capability, which enables up to three hours of playback from a 10-minute charge, the earbuds are always ready to go when time is of the importance. 

Furthermore, the Huawei FreeClip 2 boasts dual-device connectivity, which facilitates seamless device switching and makes it ideal for mobile lifestyles, hybrid work, and creative multitasking. Compatibility with both iOS and Android smartphones ensures a smooth, uninterrupted experience throughout the day.

Designed to keep up with active lifestyles, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 features IP57 water resistance, offering protection against sweat, splashes, and dust. Intuitive gesture and head-motion controls, including swipe, tap, and nod or shake actions, allow users to manage volume, playback, and calls effortlessly, completing an open-ear experience that feels natural, responsive, and ready for everyday life.

Enjoy Seamless Comfort and Crystal-Clear Audio with the HUAWEI FreeClip 2

The HUAWEI FreeClip 2 is the only Airy C-Bridge open-ear TWS with unmatched comfort, a snug fit, and outstanding sound quality for people who manage work, exercise, and daily life while simply and tastefully incorporating clear sound into their busy lifestyle.

The Huawei FreeClip 2 will make its official debut in the Philippines on February 19, 2026. Early customers at the Huawei Online Store can get a PHP 1,000 discount by securing a PHP 100 deposit between February 9 and 6:00 PM on the same day. Early bird coupons worth PHP 1,000 will also be available starting on the launch day. Customers can also utilize PHP 500 Early Bird Vouchers on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok starting on February 9. Along with a one-year, one-time loss compensation service for PHP 479 and flexible payment options including up to 12 months of credit card or 9 months of Home Credit installments, early sales also include two accessory sets worth PHP 1,998. Offline purchasers at HUAWEI Experience Stores may enjoy up to PHP 1,000 off with add-on offers, subject to store policy.

Because it seamlessly combines smart audio, stylish design, and all-day comfort, the Huawei FreeClip 2 is the perfect wearable electronics accessory for anything from morning meetings to evening workouts.
