For years, Ayala Malls Cinemas has celebrated Pride Month by championing stories that reflect love, diversity, and authenticity on the big screen. As an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, Ayala Malls Cinemas continues its support for creating a space where audiences can experience compelling films that spark conversation, representation, empathy, and understanding. 


This Pride Month, Ayala Malls Cinemas brings bold, cinematic storytelling this Pride Month starting June 10 with the acclaimed film from visionary director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, and Challengers), “QUEER,” based on the novel by William S. Burroughs. In 2024, the film made its mark as an Official Competition entry at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it received a 9-minute standing ovation, proving its emotional impact and artistic acclaim.

Starring Daniel Craig as William Lee and Drew Starkey as Eugene Allerton, alongside Lesley Manville, Jason Schwartzman, Henrique Zaga, and Omar Apollo, “QUEER” is set in 1950s Mexico City and follows William, an American expatriate living in isolation within a small foreign community. His life shifts when he meets Eugene, a young student who awakens in him a powerful and unexpected sense of connection: one that challenges solitude, desire, and the possibility of love itself.

In adapting William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical and unfinished novel, Luca Guadagnino has described the story as one rooted in tenderness rather than detachment, emphasizing that Burroughs’ work reveals a side beneath its complex writing, with a quieter emotional landscape beneath its literary mythology. In this vision, love is not defined by distance or impossibility, but by the attempt, even though it’s imperfect and fragile, to reach one another.

Ayala Malls Cinemas unleashes a new tale of terror with the exclusive release of “Obsession”

 

Arrives in the PH May 27 with Early Access Screenings on May 23




Ayala Malls Cinemas expands its roster of curated, world-class exclusive titles with critically acclaimed, original horror film Obsession. The movie is directed by a new voice in horror, Curry Barker, who went viral for his 2024 found footage horror film Milk & Serial. Obsession is a story of a hopeless romantic, who in a desperate bid to capture the heart of the girl he likes, makes a wish on a kitschy “One Wish Willow” toy. He finds himself getting exactly what he needs, but soon discovers that wishes can come with a dark, sinister price.


Director Baker shares his motivation for weaving this dark story for the big screen. “With Obsession, I wanted to tell a story about how far someone’s fixation on another person can go. At what point does something we call love stop being love? And beyond that, what does the word “love” even mean?” 



Baker also wants his film to leave a lasting impression on the viewers, stating, “I want people leaving the theater still talking - arguing over how they felt, what they would have done differently, and whether what they saw was love or obsession.”

HOPE Wins Prestigious Global and Regional Awards for its "Generation HOPE" Initiative

 PRESS RELEASE 




HOPE, a pioneering impact organization and the Philippines' first Certified B Corp, has been recognized on the global stage for its Generation HOPE campaign, securing two major industry accolades for its commitment to Philippine education. The initiative was honored with the 2026 Global Gold Quill Award for Nonprofit Sector Communication from the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) and the NGO and Charity Award from the Public Relations and Communications Association Asia-Pacific (PRCA APAC) Awards 2026. 


The Generation HOPE campaign was launched in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd) and seven founding partners to address the critical classroom gap in the Philippines. By transforming everyday consumer choices into direct investments in public school infrastructure, the campaign empowered Filipinos to participate in nation-building through simple, daily transactions.


The campaign's success was driven by a diverse group of brand partners who integrated social impact into their core offerings. BDO launched the HOPE Mastercard, which matched a PHP5 donation from BDO for every PHP 1,000 spent, while Grab introduced the "Grab HOPE Hour", which raised donations with every ride and order placed. Retail and lifestyle partners also played a pivotal role: SM Supermalls donated PHP 5 from every movie ticket sold with "HOPE in a Movie," Penshoppe released a dedicated HOPE apparel collection, and Sunnies Studios commemorated their 10-classroom donation with limited-edition flask and cleaning lens designs. Rounding out the initiative, Carmen's Best offered "HOPE in a Scoop"  and “HOPE in a Pint”, where each ice cream purchase directly supports HOPE, and The Aivee Clinic launched a signature Aivee x HOPE Travel Tote with proceeds supporting the cause.



Generation HOPE merchandise and programs launched in 2025, together with partner brands


In 2025 alone, HOPE funded the construction of 25 classrooms across the country. The organization has built 167 classrooms since it was founded in 2012 and has directly benefited over 53,000 students who previously faced overcrowded and under-resourced learning environments.


Recent milestones include the turnover of two fully equipped classrooms by Sunnies Studios in Alitagtag, Batangas, and the groundbreaking of five new classrooms by Penshoppe in Paombong, Bulacan. Other ongoing projects include developments in Albay, Pampanga, and across Negros Occidental and Oriental.


"These awards are a testament to the power of collective action. We believe that everyone has the capacity to give HOPE, and by partnering with brands that choose to invest in public school education, we've shown the power of Business for Good. Our goal was to make it easy for every Filipino to contribute to nation-building through education—whether by simply buying a t-shirt, booking a ride, or watching a movie. Seeing that vision turn into new classrooms our students can use is just the beginning of what we can achieve together," said Nanette Medved-Po, HOPE Chairperson and Founder. 


COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises, a global award-winning communications group, serves as HOPE’s official PR and communications partner for the Generation HOPE campaign.
