DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in How to Train Your Dragon, an ogre and a donkey in Shrek, and a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot, now welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.
The new original film is written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and is produced by Academy Award® nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.
While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.
Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.
The film’s all-star voice cast also includes Emmy nominee Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), global comedy superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).

The Indiana Fever narrowly dropped a high-stakes, physical rematch to the Phoenix Mercury, 111-109. The turning point came in the third quarter when Fever star Caitlin Clark was forced to leave the game early due to a persistent back injury, finishing with 19 points in 20 minutes.
Despite her absence, the Fever offense stayed potent. Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded the effort with a brilliant 30-point performance, tying a franchise record by sinking seven 3-pointers. Aliyah Boston dominated inside, contributing 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while Myisha Hines-Allen provided a vital spark off the bench with a season-high 13 points, grabbing 5 rebounds.
Defensively, however, Indiana struggled to contain Phoenix down the stretch. In her post-game interview, head coach Stephanie White criticized the lack of defensive discipline and the non-calls on physical plays against Clark, calling it “absolutely unacceptable” and demanding more accountability moving forward.

Belgian veteran Elise Mertens extended her perfect head-to-head record against Alex Eala to 3-0, defeating the Filipina sensation 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of the Bad Homburg Open.
Fresh off a stellar semifinal run in Berlin that pushed her to a world No. 30 ranking, Eala showed early flashes of brilliance, racing to a promising 3-1 lead in the opening set. However, the 24th-ranked Mertens quickly stabilized, unleashing 10 aces and a commanding baseline game to reel off five straight games. Mertens carried that momentum through the second set to seal the victory, though Eala fought valiantly, saving two match points.

This was Indiana’s first game of their three-game homestand and the Fever staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Phoenix Mercury 86-77 in a highly charged matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The game began as an absolute disaster for Indiana. The Fever endured a historically abysmal first quarter, scoring just six points—tied for the fourth-fewest in franchise history. Phoenix capitalized on the cold stretch, racing out to an early 16-point advantage behind sharp execution.
However, the tide turned dramatically thanks to Indiana’s explosive core. Led by Caitlin Clark, who anchored the offense with 24 points, with 3 make three-points, and 9 assists, the Fever completely flipped the script. Alongside Clark, Kelsey Mitchell provided a crucial scoring punch with 22 points, while Aliyah Boston anchored the interior with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. This high-powered performance completely erased the early deficit and it was tied at 41 entering the second half.
The intensity reached a boiling point in a chaotic fourth quarter. A physical, drawn-out final period erupted into a chippy scuffle that saw six technical fouls handed out between the two teams. Tensions flared so high that Indiana’s Myisha Hines-Allen was ejected after picking up her second technical foul. Ultimately, the Fever weathered the storm, proving their resilience after a rocky start.
Fullgame Highlights;
Both team don’t have to wait long for a rematch, since they’ll face again this Wednesday night.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced price adjustments for petroleum products effective June 23–29, 2026. These changes reflect international oil market movements amid ongoing developments in the Middle East that continue to impact global supply and pricing. Meanwhile, the DOE remains committed to strengthening the domestic oil supply and protecting public welfare.
The fee will be increased from the current ¥3,000 to ¥15,000 for a single-entry visa and from ¥6,000 to ¥30,000 for a multiple-entry visa. The new fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1.
The fact that Japan has not raise its visa fees in 48 years says a lot. Some countries increase fees annually, while others every every 3 years, which means this increase visa fees by Japan is long over due.
The government has proposed raising fees for residency status changes and stay extensions from the current range of ¥5,500 to ¥6,000 to between ¥10,000 and ¥70,000, while fees for permanent residency applications would increase from ¥10,000 to ¥200,000. The government is aiming to implement the changes sometime before the end of the next fiscal year on March 31, 2027.
Well, it’s not just for tourists but also for Foreigners living in the country.
I’ve done the calculations and here’s the Philippine Peso equivalent for the new visa fees in Japan;
single-entry visa – ¥15,000 = ₱5,646.00
multiple-entry visa – ¥30,000 = ₱11,292.00
residency status changes and stay extensions – ¥10,000 and ¥70,000 = ₱3,764.00 to ₱26,348.00
Filipino tennis sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala is set to make history at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, running from June 29 to July 12, as she becomes the first Filipino ever to be seeded in a Grand Slam event. She secured her place and earned a coveted tournament seeding thanks to an incredible grass-court surge. Her buildup included winning the Birmingham Open and pulling off stunning upsets against top-10 players at the Berlin Open.
Eala will participate in both the Singles and Doubles categories. While her precise first-round singles opponent will be locked in when the final brackets are drawn, her seeding guarantees a matchup against a lower-ranked player, qualifier, or wildcard. In the doubles tournament, she will partner with Czech player Nikola Bartůňková, building on the strong chemistry they developed during the grass-court season, including their run at the Birmingham Open.
Spain bounced back from their opening-day draw with a commanding 4–0 demolition of Saudi Arabia at Atlanta Stadium.
Determined to make a statement after being stifled by Cape Verde, La Roja unleashed an unstoppable first-half blitz. Teenage star Lamine Yamal opened the floodgates in the 10th minute, slotting home a low cross to score his first-ever World Cup goal.
Shortly after, Mikel Oyarzabal took center stage. The lethal forward struck twice in the span of three minutes (21′ and 24′) to put the game completely out of reach before the first hydration break.
Saudi Arabia’s defensive woes worsened early in the second half when Hassan Altambakti accidentally deflected the ball into his own net, compounding a difficult evening for the Green Falcons. Spain comfortably dictated the remaining tempo, securing three crucial Group H points and re-establishing their status as tournament heavyweights.
Next:
Spain and Saudi Arabia face a decisive final matchday in Group H on Saturday, June 27, 2026, to determine who advances to the knockout rounds. Spain will take on South American powerhouse Uruguay at the Guadalajara Stadium. Saudi Arabia travels to Houston Stadium to face tournament debutants Cape Verde. The Saudi Green Falcons are still mathematically alive in the tournament courtesy of their opening-match draw against Uruguay. A Saudi victory over Cape Verde would lift them to 4 points, which could guide them into the knockout phase depending on the result of the Spain–Uruguay match.

MANILA – Filipino conjoined twins Olivia and Gianna Manuel were successfully separated after a six-hour multistage surgery by Saudi Arabian surgeons in Riyadh, the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Manila said on Friday.
The operation was carried out in six phases involving 22 specialized medical staff at the King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital (KASCH) in Riyadh on June 18 under the Saudi Conjoined Twins Programme (SCTP).
The embassy said the twins are in “stable condition” following the procedure and are being closely monitored at KASCH’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
It added that all costs related to the separation and aftercare were covered entirely by the Saudi government.
24 Filipino workers detained for 9 months in Yakutsk, Russian Federation, returned to 🇵🇭 after being released by 🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin following the request of President @bongbongmarcos#DFAForgingAheadpic.twitter.com/mPCaBkAr43
Twenty-four (24) Filipino workers safely returned to Manila on June 21, 2026, after being detained for nine months in Yakutsk, Russia, over immigration violations. The overseas workers, who were reportedly victims of illegal recruitment schemes, had been held without any formal charges.
Their swift release was secured after Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. personally raised their plight during a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the ASEAN-Russia Commemorative Summit in Kazan. Moving quickly upon Marcos’ appeal, Russian authorities authorized their repatriation within days. The Department of Migrant Workers is currently reviewing their cases for potential human trafficking.
The game started as a high-octane offensive shootout, with the Indiana Fever putting together a historic first half. Driven by Caitlin Clark’s hot hand early, Indiana opened the game shooting a perfect 8-for-8, racking up 37 points in the opening frame—the third-most in a single quarter in franchise history. Backed by Kelsey Mitchell’s 16 first-half points, the Fever held a narrow 59-56 lead at intermission.
Then came the third quarter, and everything went wrong for Indiana. Heavy whistle trouble combined with a wave of sloppy play completely sapped the Fever’s offensive rhythm. Indiana gave away the ball 19 times throughout the afternoon, with Clark committing seven of those turnovers herself. Atlanta capitalized on the mistakes immediately, suffocating the Fever with a 28-15 third-quarter surge to pull ahead 84-74.
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the Dream comfortably enjoyed that 10-point cushion. Indiana had no answers left in the tank, allowing Atlanta’s lead to balloon to as much as 22 points before settling at a final 113-96 blowout victory.
Statistically, the Fever were led by Clark’s 26 points and 7 assists, while Mitchell finished with 16 points and Aliyah Boston chipped in 13 points and seven defensive rebounds, a milestone that pushed her past 800 career defensive boards. However, the afternoon belonged to Atlanta. Rhyne Howard paced the Dream with 24 points, while Jordin Canada orchestrated the offense beautifully with 12 points and 12 assists, scoring eight critical points in the defining third quarter without committing a single turnover. Angel Reese also entered the history books during the contest, scoring 18 points and grabbing eight rebounds to become the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds, achieving the feat in just 79 games. Backed by massive bench performances from Allisha Gray with 22 points and Naz Hillmon with 19, Atlanta coasted to a franchise-record 113 points.
Game highlights;
Next Up:
Indiana Fever will head back home to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to kick off a three-game homestand on Monday, June 22nd, against the Phoenix Mercury. The Atlanta Dream will stay at State Farm Arena to host the Toronto Tempo on Monday, June 22nd.
Alexandra Eala’s spectacular grass-court run at the 2026 Berlin Open came to an end in the semifinals, falling 6-2, 6-4 to Czech powerhouse Linda Noskova.
Just a day prior, Eala looked practically unstoppable. In the quarterfinals, the 21-year-old Filipina phenom captured one of the biggest wins of her career, dismantling world No. 8 Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-4 with aggressive, fearless baseline play. That masterful triumph capped off a stretch of back-to-back Top-10 upsets for Eala, following an earlier shock victory over Elena Rybakina.
However, Noskova proved to be a hurdle too high. Dictating play with nine aces and capitalising on five structural break points, the clinical eighth seed never allowed Eala to find the rhythm that had troubled Svitolina.
Match highlights;
What’s Next for Eala?
She will head to the Bad Homburg Open, also in Germany, where she will compete in both singles and doubles. Eala opens her singles campaign against Elise Mertens in the round of 32, and will later partner with Venus Williams in the doubles draw against opponents who are yet to be determined.
The Las Vegas Aces have officially clinched their spot in the 2026 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game. Following a decisive 86-76 victory over the Phoenix Mercury, the Aces secured the Western Conference berth to set up a highly anticipated, high-stakes showdown.
This championship game will be a rematch of the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup Finals, where the New York Liberty bested the Aces on their home floor. This time, the tournament heads to New York on June 30. Led by a dominant A’ja Wilson, Las Vegas looks to flip the script, avenge their past defeat, and bring the cup back to Sin City.
The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese added a thrilling new chapter during a high-stakes showdown between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream. In a dramatic, high-scoring battle, the Dream walked away with a tight 108-101 victory. For Reese—who joined Atlanta earlier in the 2026 season—this marked a rare and massive head-to-head victory over Clark, breaking a dominant stretch of head-to-head wins by the Fever guard.
Despite the loss, Indiana’s “Big 3” put on an absolute clinic. With Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell firing on all cylinders, the Fever stayed highly competitive throughout the entire game, proving why they are one of the most dangerous trios in the league. Together, the three stars accounted for 75 of Indiana’s 101 total points. Clark led the way with 26 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds, while Mitchell matched her with 26 points of her own. Meanwhile, Boston anchored the paint, stuffing the stat sheet with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.

However, the Atlanta Dream countered with an elite, balanced attack where all five starters scored in double digits. The charge was led by Reese, who anchored the paint with 21 points and 11 rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting to secure her 10th double-double of the season. Alongside her, Jordin Canada orchestrated the offense seamlessly to push the pace, finishing with 18 points. Rhyne Howard provided the crucial backcourt execution to close out the fourth quarter, delivering 16 points and 6 assists while hitting critical, back-to-back buckets late to stifle the Fever’s comeback.
Adding to the historic and play-off athmosphere of the night, the game served as the official on-court debut of Clark’s highly anticipated first signature sneaker, the Nike Caitlin 1. While the Dream spoiled the Clark’s sneaker maiden voyage, the combination of elite hoops, a rare Reese victory, and fresh sneaker history made this an unforgettable night for women’s basketball.
Game Highlights;
Both team will face again this Saturday afternoon in State Farm Arena.
Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala sent shockwaves through the tennis world at the 2026 Berlin Open, securing the biggest victory of her career by upsetting world No. 2 Elena Rybakina in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.
Playing in her tournament debut on the grass courts of the Steffi Graf Stadion, the 21-year-old Eala showed incredible composure. Despite Rybakina opening the match in blistering form and firing 13 aces, Eala—currently ranked world No. 35—recalibrated her returns and capitalized on her opponent’s unforced errors. Trailing 4-1 in the first set, Eala rallied fiercely to win five consecutive games before breaking early in the second set to seal the historic triumph in 1 hour and 32 minutes.
With this monumental win, Eala advances to the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 tournament. She will not have much time to rest, as her next match is scheduled for later today, Friday, June 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM, which will be 11:30 PM, Philippine time. Eala will face a formidable opponent in Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina, who enters the match as the tournament’s No. 6 seed and holds the world No. 8 ranking. It will be the first career meeting between the two.

Welcome to Hexe, the world of witches. Disney’s #Hexed is only in theaters November 25
The first trailer and poster for Disney’s “Hexed,” an all-new magical coming-of-age saga releasing in theaters November 25, are now available. The original animated film is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 65th animated feature.
Joining previously announced voice cast members Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones are seven-time Emmy Award® winner Tracey Ullman (“The Tracey Ullman Show,” “Tracey Takes On…,” “Bullets Over Broadway,” “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”), who voices the enchanted feather quill pen Ms. Quill, and Stephen Fry (“Gosford Park,” “Wilde,” “Jeeves and Wooster,” “V for Vendetta,” “The Hobbit” trilogy) as the magical journal Elias Quire.
The new trailer introduces the impulsive and unconventional teenage girl Billie (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and her cautious mother, Alice (voiced by Rashida Jones). When Billie accidentally unleashes secret magical abilities, she’s hurtled out of suburbia and into a magical realm called Hexe, where she’s greeted by Ms. Quill (voiced by Tracey Ullman) and Elias Quire (voiced by Stephen Fry). As Billie’s spectacle-filled journey unfolds, she uncovers family mysteries that could change the magical world of witches forever.
Director Fawn Veerasunthorn said, “A wonderfully strange phenomenon is happening all around Billie, something she can’t explain. She’s someone who has felt miscast in her own life, and it takes leaving her normal world behind and entering a hidden world of wild, unhinged magic to begin to understand herself.”
“Hexe is a place where Billie begins to feel seen for the first time in her life,” director Jason Hand said. “She embarks on a journey of self-discovery that reveals a powerful connection to magic, and in the process uncovers long-held secrets about her family.”
Disney’s “Hexed” is directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, co-directed by Josie Trinidad, and produced by Roy Conli and Yvett Merino. The film opens exclusively in theaters November 25, 2026.

Indiana Fever dominated the Toronto Tempo 113–91 on Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, extending their winning streak to four games and improving their record to 9-5. The convincing victory, fueled by a balanced offensive attack and standout individual performances, also set a franchise record for the most points scored in a regulation game.
Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with a team-high 27 points on a blistering 9-of-11 from the field, making her the game’s top performer. But the night’s most electric display came from Sophie Cunningham, who torched Toronto from beyond the arc, drilling 6-of-7 three-point attempts for a season-high 24 points on a near-perfect shooting night.
Caitlin Clark once again orchestrated the Fever offense with precision, posting a stellar double-double of 21 points and a season-high 14 assists, constantly breaking down the Tempo defense to find open teammates and reinforcing her status as one of the league’s premier playmakers. Aliyah Boston rounded out Indiana’s dominant performance with an efficient 18 points and 11 rebounds.
The Fever shot 52.2% from the field and outrebounded Toronto 54–32, completely overwhelming the Tempo in the second half and outscoring them 60–41. Indiana led by as many as 24 points, turning the game into a showcase of their depth and execution.
