Promising Filipino homes a bigger, bolder, and more powerful entertainment viewing experience, PLDT Home and premium streaming service Lionsgate Play announced their exclusive partnership through a power-inspired social night at the House Manila VIP Club, Pasay City last June 10.

“Embrace the Power” drew some of the biggest media, celebrities, athletes, and influencers to a showcase of Lionsgate’s most award-winning and successful entertainment content — now made accessible locally courtesy of the Philippines’ fastest broadband service provider PLDT Home. Leading the fittingly powerhouse cast of celebrity attendees were Filipina beauty queens that included Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo and Miss Universe Philippine 2020 4th Runner-Up Billie Hakenson.

As the night’s highlight, PLDT Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business-Home Group Jeremiah de la Cruz and Lionsgate Play Philippines General Manager Cecilia Marino led the celebratory toast. Joining them onstage were PLDT First Vice President and Head of Customer Management-Home Patrick Tang, PLDT Home Senior Vice President and Customer Experience Operations Head Roy Victor Allonuevo, PLDT Home Senior Vice President and Consumer Sales Group Alex Caeg, PLDT Home Vice President and Beyond Access Head Evert Chris Miranda, PLDT Home Assistant Vice President and Marketing PR Head Cheryl Maxine Loyola, PLDT Home Senior Product Manager of Entertainment Bryan Brantzeg, and PLDT Home Senior Consultant for Business Process Espen Warrendorph.

Making PLDT Home’s first major event since the onset of the pandemic more memorable, local talents igniting Filipino pride also took center stage. The Philippines' premier rock reggae supergroup Franco and the country’s first-ever DJ-guitarist duo DJ duo Marxx Monterola and Alwynn Cruz rocked the night through a series of edgy audio-visual mashups featuring some of Lionsgate’s most iconic titles including Twilight, Hunger Games, and John Wick — all to the tune of powerful live music.
