Introducing the Shared P Series ✨

Every story starts with a P — People. Places. Plates.

We’ve told so many stories from around the Philippines — now, we want to tell yours.

The Shared P Series is where you share the meals, memories, and moments that make you who you are.

🥘 Shared Plate — food that feels like home.
📍 Shared Place — the spots that hold your story.

How to share your story:

1️⃣ Send us a photo — it could be a meal, a place, or even a selfie in your favorite spot. Doesn't have to be fancy!
2️⃣ Write a few lines — tell us why it matters to you.
3️⃣ Message us directly.

We’ll feature some of your stories here on our page — because every Filipino story deserves to be shared.

Staying productive while studying can be tough, especially when distractions are everywhere. One method that’s been gaining popularity is the 25–5 rule:

👉 Focus on one task for 25 minutes — no distractions, no multitasking.
👉 Take a 5-minute break — stretch, grab water, or simply rest your eyes.
👉 Repeat the cycle 3–4 times, then reward yourself with a longer break.

Why it works: Your brain can only handle intense focus for short bursts. The quick breaks help you recharge, avoid burnout, and keep your memory sharp. It’s like training your brain in sprints instead of marathons.

Some students swear this is a game-changer for productivity, while others tweak it — maybe 50–10, or even 90–15.

Have you tried the 25–5 study hack yet? Or do you have your own routine that helps you stay on track?

Six years after the film that made us believe in the beauty of unspoken love, 100 Tula Para Kay Stella 2 finally arrives. This time, the story is not about young love and missed chances, but about how time changes us, how wounds heal, and how love — in all its imperfect forms — can return when we least expect it.

Reply 1988 isn’t about high-stakes drama or grand romances. Instead, it finds beauty in the small, quiet moments — the laughter in narrow alleys, the sacrifices of parents, the friendships that feel like family.

Set in a 1980s Seoul neighborhood, it’s a story of growing up together, drifting apart, and always finding home again.
