This date is going to be killer. “Drop” keeps you at the edge of your seat as it arrives in PH cinemas on April 9

 

First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling. From director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day) comes Drop, a mystery-thriller starring Meghann Fahy (White Lotus S3) and Brandon Sklenar (It Ends with Us).

Watch the trailer: https://tinyurl.com/36tvjpk9

When widowed mother Violet (Meghann Fahy) finally takes the plunge and steps out on her first date in years, she starts receiving innocuous but annoying media drops on her phone. Things begin to take a turn for the nightmarish as the pesky drops turn into threats to her son’s life. She is directed to kill her date (Brandon Sklenar) or risk losing her son. Time is ticking as she races to unveil the tormentor hiding in plain sight at the restaurant her date is taking place. 

The idea for the film came from real life circumstances when producer Cameron Fuller and executive producer were on an overseas vacation. “We’re at a beautiful dinner and we start receiving drops from someone in the restaurant,” Fuller says. “Over the course of the meal, they are getting progressively scarier. By the end, we thought we had figured out who it was, but we were never able to confirm it. That was the scariest part. We never knew who the sender of these drops was. And then we said, ‘maybe this should be a movie.’”

Director Christopher Landon was excited to work with the material and Jason Blum, having helmed many of Blumhouse’s hits like Freaky and Happy Death Day. “I think the reason I’ve had such a lasting relationship with Blumhouse, and specifically Jason, is the amount of creative freedom they give their filmmakers,” Landon says. “If you can make your movie within a certain budget parameter, you have control. It is an empowering situation, and that is why a lot of filmmakers keep going back.”

Landon also felt like he had a personal connection to the film, which deals with abuse and trauma. “I’ve had people very close to me who have been victims of abuse, specifically domestic abuse,” says Landon. “This was very personal to me, and something I wanted to handle delicately. But I also wanted to show that there is a path for people, a way out.”

Drop delivers thrills to Philippine theaters starting April 9. Follow Universal Pictures PH (FB), UniversalPicturesPH (IG), and UniversalPicsPH (TikTok) for the latest updates. 

TP champions high-tech, high-touch strategy for stronger industry-academe synergy

PRESS RELEASE

Underscores Emotional Intelligence (EI) as critical differentiator amidst AI boom

Chief Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines Rahul Jolly confirms the company’s staunch commitment to continued upskilling and curriculum development as he closes the IBPAP Talent Forum 2025.

Taguig City, Philippines – TP in the Philippines, a global leader in digital business services and one of the largest IT-BPM employers in the Philippines, gathered more than 140 delegates from the academe, industry, and government at the Talent Forum 2025 co-presented with the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), held at Shangri-La The Fort.

TP is one of the key thought leaders in the forum’s highlight activity, the Industry-Academe Link-Up, a platform where delegates explored collaborative initiatives to drive curriculum development, upskilling, and talent acquisition.

During the Industry Showcase segment focusing on industry-academe collaboration, emerging technologies, and talent development, Vice President of Learning & Development Inkee Hidalgo shared TP’s successful programs powered by Emotional Intelligence (AI) and enabled by AI, “Our role in the industry is to continue to innovate the partnerships that we have today and ensure that we continue to prepare our workforce for the needs of the future. 

The partnership between TP, the [IT-BPM] industry, and the academe is critical and foundational in addressing the talent needs we’re facing today,” said Hidalgo.

In 2024, TP successfully partnered with industry partners, curriculum developers, and with the Pasig City local government for its TP Skills to Employment Program (STEP). The program achieved a remarkable 88% hire rate and received the Grand Anvil Award nomination and the Gold Anvil Award under the CSR/Public Relations category at the recent 60th Anvil Awards organized by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines.

Through the years, TP has consistently engaged in multi-sectoral partnerships to forge programs for skills development and employment opportunities. 

Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines Jeffrey Johnson joins an insightful conversation on the evolving role of industry-academe collaborations alongside moderator Celeste Ilagan, Chief Operating Officer of IBPAP; co-panelists Fen Magdalera, former chairperson of GICC; Genevieve Laurel, Founder and Vice Chairman of Southville International School and Colleges; Cheryl Peralta, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs – UST; and Tirso Ronquillo, President of Batangas State University

In his expert sharing, TP in the Philippines Chief People Officer Jeffrey Johnson said, “We recognize the gap between skills and talent, and that’s driven by our demands and needs also increasing. We need to evolve and keep investing and working together to level up partnerships so we can create more high skill jobs for the future,”. Johnson was one of the thought leaders in a panel discussion on building effective and future-proof collaborations.

Entitled “Industry-Academe Link-Up: Collaborative Strategies for Workforce Development”, the Talent Forum 2025 explored “the evolving role of industry-academe collaborations in shaping workforce readiness within the Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector, highlighting the Philippine Skills Framework (PSF) as a critical tool for aligning academic curricula with industry needs.”

Capping off the high-level activities of the forum, Chief Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines Rahul Jolly ended with optimism and high expectations for growth as the IT-BPM industry and the rest of the nation further embrace digital transformation saying, “As a people company, talent development is a cornerstone of our strategy at TP. Supporting innovation and curriculum transformation is a commitment that we will continue to drive as we move forward in the talent and skills development journey for our industry and our partners.”

As part of its strategy to accelerate digital transformation and AI-integration for its operations and clients’ businesses, TP has embarked on an extensive EI program for its people. The company is confident that, in the midst of an intensely digitized world, a workforce with highly evolved EI skills empowered by smart and secure AI technologies will be a critical differentiator for businesses to thrive.
