Jobstreet by SEEK shares in-demand soft skills in the age of AI, empowers students in Nationwide Career Readiness Roadshow

 

Younger workers are currently the demographic most affected by AI-driven job shifts, particularly as roles built on repeatable tasks continue to shrink. In 2025, the Commission on Higher Education reported a rise in graduate unemployment from 35.6% to 38.2%. 

Yet, this evolution presents an opportunity, as careers that successfully blend human skills with AI are seeing significant growth, making it increasingly vital for candidates to leverage the human soft skills that technology cannot replace.

To help address this gap, leading online career platform Jobstreet by SEEK rolled out its Nationwide Career Readiness Roadshow, a high-impact activation with insights-driven discussions, designed to provide support for incoming fresh graduates from different schools, such as the University of the Philippines Diliman, the University of Iloilo, andthe University of Pangasinan, among others. 

Adaptability and Learning Agility

In an evolving workplace environment, adaptability is no longer just an advantage but a necessity. Jobstreet by SEEK advised incoming graduates that employers now prioritize "learning agility," seeking candidates who have a proactive mindset to learn, unlearn, and relearn quickly. The bottom line for fresh jobseekers is that employers don’t just hire for what you know today; they hire for how fast you can learn tomorrow.

Practical ways to build agility include seeking feedback early and applying it quickly, volunteering for unfamiliar roles or tasks to practice being uncomfortable, and reflecting often by asking "What did I learn?" after every project. Most importantly, graduates may leverage AI tools as a learning partner and not a shortcut to doing tasks. 

Clear communication 

As modern work involves constant teamwork and cross-functional collaboration, the ability to explain ideas clearly and listen actively is vital to building the trust necessary to keep work moving. Poor communication often leads to mistakes, delays, and unnecessary conflict, making professional clarity a top priority for hirers who want to maintain efficiency in fast-paced environments. 

To develop professional communication, students are advised to practice expressing their ideas clearly in both verbal and written formats through workshops in business writing or public speaking. A critical component of this is developing active listening skills, focusing on understanding the speaker fully before formulating a response. Incoming candidates are encouraged to ask clarifying questions, seek feedback, and apply it to improve continuously. 

Critical thinking and problem-solving 

These skills remain indispensable because they allow individuals to move beyond simply following instructions to making sound decisions in complex, unfamiliar situations. Employers value critical thinkers because they contribute ideas that improve existing processes and turn challenges into actionable solutions. While AI can execute tasks, it cannot navigate ambiguity or exercise human reasoning to solve complex problems.

Jobstreet by SEEK shared that jobseekers can improve these skills by getting into the habit of asking questions and breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts. Analyzing different options before choosing a solution helps a candidate understand what worked and what didn't. Practicing with real-life scenarios, case studies, or student projects is the best way to turn critical thinking into a natural professional reflex.

“Employers don’t hire for what you know today; they hire for how fast you can learn tomorrow. Through these nationwide initiatives, Jobstreet by SEEK seeks to empower students to transition from the classroom to the workplace with confidence,” says Joey Yusingco, Jobstreet Philippines Head of Marketing. 

Jobstreet by SEEK continues to strengthen its position as a leading career platform, bridging the gap between education and the evolving workplace through expert-led insights that equip young professionals to become future-ready.

Samsung Powers ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ with Galaxy

 

With Galaxy S26 Ultra capturing the concert experience, Samsung invites the world attending BTS’s upcoming world tour to be fully immersed in the show

SEOUL, Korea – March 27, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a global partnership with ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG,’’ unveiling a new concert experience powered by Galaxy mobile technology that brings artists and the audience closer together.

BTS and ARMY have built a cultural movement that brings everyone together to celebrate self-expression and connection through music. This resulted in a global impact that fosters authentic shared experiences — values that resonate deeply with Samsung’s Galaxy brand philosophy. By harnessing the power of music and technology, Samsung and the ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ are empowering people to capture special moments and share them with the world.

“Samsung believes that technology enriches everyday experiences,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of the Mobile Marketing Center, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through this collaboration, Galaxy will serve as a bridge connecting artists and the audience, enabling people to experience concert moments more meaningfully and preserve and share those memories for longer.”

Building on Galaxy’s vision of meaningful, connected experiences, Samsung is reimagining the traditional concert viewing experience by enabling the audience to emotionally engage with artists and their performances in more immersive ways. In particular, the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera captures memorable moments from live performances, allowing the audience around the world to relive and share the experience, bringing the energy and emotion of the concert into their everyday lives.

“Fans are at the heart of everything we do, shaping our music and journey together with us,” said Lee Jae-sang, CEO of HYBE. “Through this partnership with Samsung Electronics, we hope fans can experience concerts more vividly and create lasting memories.”

‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ will begin in Goyang, South Korea, and continue in major cities around the world through 2027. As part of the world tour, an exclusive BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL is taking place in Seoul from March 20 to April 19, including a range of Galaxy-powered immersive experiences to major landmarks across the city.

Fans can explore the Galaxy S26 series through interactive activities, including a stamp rally at Samsung’s Gangnam store and creating self-made stickers using the Galaxy AI-powered Creative Studio. Participants who complete the activities are eligible to receive prizes, including limited-edition ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL’ merchandise.

Following Seoul, ‘BTS THE CITY’ will expand to other tour stops. Samsung will take part in the entire ’BTS THE CITY’ journey, driving innovation that encourages fans to express themselves, capture meaningful moments and expand everyday experiences with Galaxy. 

Before “I Do” Comes “The Drama,” Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson — In PH Cinemas April 4

Pioneer Films Philippines brings “The Drama” to Philippine cinemas this April 4, starring two-time Emmy Award winner Zendaya and acclaimed actor Robert Pattinson in a bold romantic dark comedy from director Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario).

Official Synopsis: 

A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.

“The Drama” follows British expat and museum curator Charlie Thompson (Robert Pattinson) and literary editor Emma Harwood (Zendaya), who meet in a Cambridge café and quickly fall into a whirlwind romance. Head over heels and seemingly perfect for each other, the couple soon finds themselves planning their wedding and a future built on love and certainty.

What begins as a picture-perfect love story takes an unexpected turn when a single, game-changing confession surfaces during a drunken round of “What’s the Worst Thing You’ve Ever Done? ” — a seemingly harmless exchange among friends Rachel (Alana Haim) and Mike (Mamoudou Athie) that fractures the illusion of Charlie and Emma’s relationship, sending the couple into a spiral of doubt, tension, and emotional reckoning just before their “I dos,” as “The Drama” unravels the delicate reality and balance between truth, perception, and love.

“You think you know someone, and they can say literally one sentence that maybe they don’t even realize they are saying,” says Pattinson. “Suddenly everything has changed, and you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.” In “The Drama," that single moment becomes the catalyst for a deeper exploration of trust, morality, and the fragile foundation of relationships. 

For Zendaya, the film goes beyond the revelation itself. “This is Kristoffer Borgli’s version of the romantic comedy, asking us how much we’re willing to accept from another person in the name of love,” she shares. “When everything is out on the table between two people, what’s left over in a relationship on the eve of saying ‘I do’?” It's a question that lingers—how much truth can love really hold?

Borgli describes “The Drama” as a story rooted in emotional honesty. “In your closest relationships, you should be able to share everything,” he says, as the film puts that idea to the test between two people deeply in love where the power of love collides with doubt, and feelings begin to clash with reason, leaving them in a crucial dilemma.

Are you ready to share your vows with someone, knowing everything that comes with their past? Or will the weight of truth change the way you love? When everything is laid bare, are you ready to commit, for better or for worse?

Save the date to get to know Charlie and Emma’s story in “The Drama,” coming to Philippine cinemas on April 4th. 

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” breaks its own record by crossing 1 billion trailer views in just four days

 COLUMBIA PICTURES

Out in PH cinemas on July 29

The trailer for Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day has reached new heights to become the first film trailer to cross 1 billion views in just four days. The trailer has now amassed an astonishing 1.1 billion views, per WaveMetrix, further cementing its status as the biggest trailer in history.

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/WMSNBV12MYs?si=f_DaGH3-pUQjjfiw

Watch the trailer launch record clip: https://youtu.be/51UdDezhihg

Upon its debut on Wednesday, March 18, the internet erupted with excitement, propelling the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer to a historic 718.6 million views in its first 24 hours. The trailer had already become the most-watched ever within just eight hours of launch, reaching 373 million views worldwide and surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine’s previous 24-hour record (365 million). It also surpassed the 24-hour record set by Grand Theft Auto VI (475 million views), which was previously billed as the biggest video launch of all time upon its 2025 release. The trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home—which went on to earn $1.9 billion at the global box office—generated 355.5 million views in its first 24 hours.

After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. Based on the MARVEL Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O'Connor produced the film. Executive Producers are Louis D'Esposito and David Cain.

“THEY WILL KILL YOU” features “Zazie Beetz running with real fire and just whooping people” in one fight scene, says the director of the horror/action/comedy, now showing only in cinemas

 WARNER BROS. PICTURES

“‘They Will Kill You’ is an action movie that is also a horror movie that has a bit of a comedy in it.”

Says director Kirill Sokolov about his latest movie, which he also wrote. “It has a lot of stunts, a lot of action,” he continues. “In every scene, something is happening. Our first goal was to do as much as possible practically. Zazie [Beetz] and our cast wanted to be involved as much as possible, so they trained and they did a lot.”

Zazie Beetz, who plays the film’s main character, Asia, trained for four months prior to the start of principal photography, including three weeks in Cape Town. In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, Beetz plays a young woman who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor. The film also stars Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette.

“Actually I was shooting a different movie in Cape Town, and I started training when I was there, then I went home for a month and got a trainer, Michael Olajide, who’s incredible,” shares Beetz, whose previous credits include “Deadpool” and the animated series “Invincible.” “When I was home, five days a week I’d train with him for about two hours, just getting the boxing motion as ingrained in my body as possible. Then I went to set and I was doing stunt training every day for three weeks before we started shooting. We would train, but the focus was kind of more on a little bit of conditioning, and then learning the fights, which ends up being a bit more choreography-based, so it’s less physically demanding than actually working out, weight lifting and doing that kind of thing. We were doing it all and your girl was tired! But they were really big on not burning me out, which I really appreciated.” 

The filmmakers were determined to capture as much of the action in-camera, including practical effects, one of the most impressive being the use of real fire in a huge fight sequence where most of the cast are involved.

“We have this one fight scene that was incredible and big that has fire, and from day one everybody told us, ‘No, no, no, forget about real fire. It takes too long, it’s too dangerous, too expensive. We’ll do CG fire,’” shares Sokolov. “But even with all the amazing VFX, you feel that it’s VFX, it doesn’t give you that feeling of danger on the screen, that tension. We found a way to do it practically, and the entire fight scene is real Zazie running with real fire and just whooping people, and the scene itself is just unbelievable. When people watch it, probably many of them won’t believe that it’s made in-camera.”

Heather Graham, who plays Sharon, one of the Virgil’s residents, was so inspired by Beetz’s willingness to perform her own stunts that she asked director Sokolov if she could do some of her own, as well. “It was fun for me,” says Graham of the “challenging and fun” experience of filming “They Will Kill You.” “In my career, I’ve done some fights and some stunts, but nothing compared to this movie. I mean, there’s long fight scenes that are really intense and really dramatic, and there’s humor and it’s violent.”

Sokolov and his stunt and fight choreographers crafted each fight sequence differently, evoking fight styles from samurai to spaghetti western to straight horror, escalating along with the story and moving the camera differently so that it, too, becomes almost a character in the film. 

Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil in “They Will Kill You,” now showing only in cinemas. 

About “They Will Kill You”

"I'm excited to be part of this brand new chapter for COMCO Mundo. With the introduction of SEA Wave & Spice, we are ready to tackle new challenges and show the extent of what a Super Agency & Studio can do," said AC Recio, Associate Director for Digital, Content & Emerging Platforms, and Storytelling Studio, and Deputy Business Administrator / Partner of SEA Wave & Spice – The Super Agency & Studio. 

The launch of SEA Wave & Spice comes at a time when demand for relevance and transparency is reshaping traditional communications and marketing methods. As part of COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises, the studio leverages the group's signature brand of "Meaningful Storytelling," ensuring that every campaign is rooted in purpose and strategic excellence.

"We envisioned the next chapter of COMCO as a launchpad for storytelling that truly moves the needle," said Mr. Ferdinand L. Bondoy, Interregional President & Group Chief Executive and Head of Global & Strategic Communications / Partner & Co-Founder of COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises. "A brand story must be more than a message — it must be a conversation across every touchpoint. With SEA Wave & Spice's wide range of services, we ensure that our work resonates deeply enough to spark change and deliver a bigger impact for our partners." The addition of SEA Wave & Spice completes COMCO Mundo's communications services portfolio, providing a full-service framework ready for both Philippine agencies and clients, and for the group's interregional offices in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore, and through the SEA CAN Alliance by COMCO Mundo which is also present in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Samsung Unveils Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, Packing Pro-Level Features at Awesome Price

 

 Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G feature a sleek design, powerful camera and upgraded Awesome Intelligence to give users the confidence for everyday use

SEOUL, Korea – March 25, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest Galaxy A series devices that bring Samsung’s newest mobile innovations — including enriched Awesome Intelligence — to more users worldwide. The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and long-term security support, the new Galaxy A series is built to last. Leading the lineup is Galaxy A57 5G, featuring a slimmer, more refined design and upgraded AI-powered capabilities that make it the most powerful Galaxy A series device yet.

“The new Galaxy A series reflects our continued commitment to AI democratization by bringing the latest innovations to more Galaxy users,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung’s fundamental capabilities combined with enriched Awesome Intelligence, Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G will deliver reliable everyday performance to users around the world and drive rapid AI expansion.”

Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life

Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive. 

Voice Transcription is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. AI Select is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag & Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.

Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. Object Eraser now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café.

Fan favorite tools like Filters and Edit Suggestions help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features Auto Trim for even easier video editing.

The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organizing plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded Bixby lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while Gemini navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions. 

Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP). The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor, delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.

When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with improved Nightography, capturing clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions.

Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity.  

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimization to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.

Performance for Streaming and Multitasking

Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance, combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.

Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh battery supports up to two days of use — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Slimmer bezels and a bright Super AMOLED + display with Vision Booster ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside.

About “Forgotten Island”:

Your best friendship is worth fighting for.

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).  

DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island is distributed by Universal Pictures. 

Chris Pratt and Charlie Day team up once more as Mario and Luigi in “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie”

 UNIVERSAL PICTURES

In PH cinemas April 4

The iconic brothers are back in action in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, starring Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi. Also returning for an adventure across space is Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michel Key as Toad, and more. New faces voice beloved characters making their big screen debut including Brie Larson as Rosalina.

The brothers Mario and Luigi are thrown into another mission after settling into their new life in the Mushroom Kingdom, as a mysterious call for help points them into Princess Peach’s mysterious past. This launches the duo off the face of the planet, and into unfamiliar worlds, with familiar friends, new allies, and an unexpected enemy.

Watch the final trailer: https://youtu.be/ppXEz-ZheVY

Chris Pratt was excited to pull the gloves back on as Mario, fresh from saving his hometown Brooklyn and the Mushroom Kingdom. For Pratt, one of the best qualities Mario possesses is his indomitable spirit. “He is a little guy, but he never gives up,” Pratt says. “He is unstoppable because he believes in himself. He is not boastful; he just shows up for the people he cares about. I love his relationships with his brother, his family and with Peach. No challenge is too big for him, and that is what makes him heroic.” 

The focus on the siblings’ relationship was also a strong point for Pratt, having grown up fans of the franchise with his own brother. “My brother and I grew up playing the Super Mario games together,” Pratt says. “The film captures something true about having siblings. You know each other your whole life. You go through everything together. Some relationships are fleeting, but siblings are for life. It means a lot to be able to bring that to the screen. When we were kids, my brother always got to play as Mario. Now I finally get my turn.” 

For Charlie Day, contrasting Mario’s head-on attitude with Luigi’s cautious bravery was very appealing to act out. “Luigi has that underdog sensibility,” Day says. “With Mario, you get the classic hero who runs toward danger to save the day. With Luigi, you have the guy who says, ‘I want to save the day, but I also do not want to get hurt,’ and I think that makes him relatable. His innocence is something you root for, because he loves his brother enough to follow him anywhere.” 

Day feels a sense of responsibility in handling such an iconic character, who is beloved by fans across the globe, and ones close to Day himself. “I have a son who is fourteen now, and watching this movie, I became emotional remembering how much joy these games gave me as a kid,” Day says. “I would play with my sister and my friends, and we would get lost in this world. Both through the movie and through watching my son discover gaming on his own brings me back to that time. That is the power of this world.”

We’re off once more as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives in Philippine cinemas on Black Saturday, April 4. Tickets available now! Head to your local cinema or visit their website for more details.

 COLUMBIA PICTURES

Out in PH cinemas on July 29

Upon its debut, the internet erupted with excitement, propelling Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer to a historic 718.6 million views in its first 24 hours, per WaveMetrix.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer also surpassed the 24-hour record set by Grand Theft Auto VI (475 million views), which was previously billed as the biggest video launch of all time upon its 2025 release. The trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home—which went on to earn $1.9 billion at the global box office—generated 355.5 million views in its first 24 hours. After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Jobstreet by SEEK bridges skills gap and boosts MSME growth with Go Negosyo

 PRESS RELEASE

Jobstreet by SEEK Philippines’ Head of Marketing, Joey Yusingco at the Trabaho at Negosyo event

Jobstreet by SEEK, the leading online job platform, reaffirmed its commitment to bridging the gap between employment and entrepreneurship at the recent “Trabaho at Negosyo” initiative of Go Negosyo at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. By serving as a key institutional partner, Jobstreet by SEEK is championing its mission to provide a job for every Filipino while empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through digital transformation and AI readiness.

The “Trabaho at Negosyo” initiative aims to centralize MSMEs as primary drivers of high-value job creation. The platform’s participation highlights its role as a proactive enabler of this mission, providing the tools and insights necessary to build a future-ready workforce.

Attendees learned insights from industry experts at the plenary session and explored opportunities through the job fair with one-on-one or group mentoring sessions among jobseekers and MSMEs. The event also featured booths from government agencies (e.g., DTI, DOLE, SSS), enterprises, and employment support groups like Jobstreet by SEEK.  

Bridging the skills gap in an AI-ready world

During the event’s plenary session, Jobstreet by SEEK emphasized that the skills gap among job seekers is real and growing. With 72% of employers now considering AI knowledge a critical hiring factor, the workforce is facing a rapid shift in the skills required for success. In fact, 40% of jobs are already influenced by AI, and 70% of employees are willing to reskill to stay competitive.

Looking ahead, 40% of workplace skills are expected to change by 2030, while 82% of employers want to upskill their current workforce. In response, Jobstreet by SEEK is actively helping Filipinos remain employable through its suite of free digital tools — these include the SEEK Pass, an employment passport that helps users verify and share their career credentials, the Market Insights platform for access to market and industry hiring trends, and the Job Search feature for AI-powered job matching.

“Upskilling is no longer optional; it’s how we stay competitive in an AI-influenced market. Whether you are looking for a job or looking for talent, we have built tools to make the process simpler, smarter, and more accessible,” said Joey Yusingco, Jobstreet by SEEK Philippines Marketing Head.

Empowering MSMEs and job seekers with free digital tools 

Jobstreet by SEEK actively supported the community during the event with initiatives for both jobseekers and small businesses. The Resume Clinic offered free resume checks, profile optimization tips, and guidance on SEEK Pass, a secure digital passport that helps candidates stand out by confirming their credentials. 

Meanwhile, MSMEs benefited from the MSME Support & Digital Demo, gaining free consultations and live demonstrations on digital hiring, including real-time salary benchmarks and hiring trends. Through the Talent Attraction Lab, the platform also shared insights on what Filipino candidates value most, like work-life balance and career growth, helping businesses attract and retain the right talent.

The partnership between Jobstreet by SEEK and Go Negosyo underscored a shared goal: reinforcing MSMEs as engines of inclusive growth. By offering two dedicated booth spaces and expert-led learning sessions, the collaboration ensured that both jobseekers and entrepreneurs had direct access to the resources needed to thrive in the modern economy.

Fun as hell. Bloody as hell. Satanic as hell. Find out the inspiration for director Kirill Sokolov’s horror-action-comedy “THEY WILL KILL YOU,” produced by Andy Muschietti and starring Zazie Beetz, only in cinemas MARCH 25

 WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Director Kirill Sokolov had a blast working on his new movie “They Will Kill You.” The horror-action-comedy, which he wrote and directed, is produced by Andy Muschietti, acclaimed director of horror hits including “It,” “It Chapter Two” and “Mama,” and features an ensemble cast that includes Zazie Beetz (“Invincible”), Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette. 

“There was a real situation that inspired me for this script,” says Sokolov in a new featurette for the movie. Ten years ago, he and wife rented an apartment in a building where everyone seemingly knew each other. The situation kicked his imagination into overdrive. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came and take us and sacrifice us and maybe that’s how will they prolong their lives. After that, we just fast-forward to this movie.”

Watch the new featurette: https://youtu.be/mRpfgh-FGHI 

Welcome to The Virgil. Zazie Beetz leads the cast of “They Will Kill You.”

In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, a young woman (Beetz) must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.

“What I really liked about the script is the very clear fun Kirill was having with this genre and with the story,” says Beetz in the featurette. 

Everyone is dying to stay at The Virgil. “They Will Kill You” stars Heather Graham (far left) and Tom Felton (middle).

Adds Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” film series, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), “This script is so unique. There are so many elements of it that are not on anything that I’ve ever read before. ‘They Will Kill You’ has so many aspects to it – from family bonding, to Satanic cults.” 

Teases Beetz, “Get ready. It’s about to get bloody.”

Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil when “They Will Kill You” opens only in cinemas March 25, 2026.
