MANILA (January 12, 2024) The Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals kicked off with
an electrifying display of skill and high-octane matches throughout the Group Stages. The
Filipino teams have emerged as formidable contenders as the Group Stages reached its
conclusion. This premier esports tournament pits 26 VALORANT and Dota 2 teams from the
region as they vie for the coveted Predator Shield and the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize
pool.
In Dota 2, Filipino powerhouses Blacklist Rivalry and Execration have successfully advanced to
the semi-finals, solidifying their positions among the elite.

Blacklist Rivalry, led by world-renowned midlane Abed Yusop, lived up to high expectations,
dominating Group A with an impressive 4-0 record. The methodical gameplay was on full display
as they systematically dismantled opponents, averaging only 30 minutes per match. Not merely
a one-man show, offlaner Kim ‘Gabbi’ Santos similarly demonstrated exceptional form,
accumulating 59 assists across their matches.
Execration, despite sharing a group with the dominant Blacklist Rivalry, also secured a spot in
the semi-finals. The squad dropped only a single game, facing defeat against the stars of
Blacklist Rivalry. Execration secured victories against Malaysian team Mythic Avenue Gaming,
fellow Filipino squad ZOL Esports, and India-based Whoops, with Mark ‘Bob’ Urbino leading the
charge with an impressive 11 KDA ratio.
On the other side of the bracket, Team Aster from China topped Group B behind Gu ‘Han’
Jiahan’s performance in the midlane. The Chinese team lost only one match in the Group Stages
against fellow semi-finalist IHC Esports. The Mongolians continue to show their constantly
improving quality in Dota 2, as they continue to have magical moments in LAN events
throughout the year.

In VALORANT, Philippine juggernaut Team Secret emerged unscathed in Group D, delivering
dominant performances against Malaysian side TODAK and Singapore’s Ender Dragon.
Unfortunately, other Filipino squads Oasis Gaming and ZOL Esports, couldn’t progress beyond
their respective groups.

Team Secret will face off against Team Flash from Vietnam, Japan’s FAV Gaming, and BOOM
Esports from Indonesia. FAV Gaming and BOOM Esports were undefeated in Group A and Group
C, respectively.

With two more action-packed days of high-level competition coming this weekend, it will be
another Thrilla in Manila at the SM MOA Arena on January 13 and 14, 2024.

If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your acne, you are not alone! Did you know that acne is
the most common skin disease in the Philippines? It affects over 17 million people, young and
old. Acne can be painful and embarrassing. It can impact self-esteem, relationships, and
happiness, especially in teens. 
Clinical studies found that more than 50% of people with facial acne also had chest, shoulder,
and back acne. Patients invest time and money in hygiene habits and treatment products.  The
good news is that overcoming acne is possible with the proper treatment and starting it EARLY.
It is important for patients to seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist for safe and
effective prescription options like the newest retinoid innovation – Trifarotene cream.
It is an innovative topical single-agent retinoid cream proven safe and effective for acne on the
face, shoulders, and back. Trifarotene cream contains the retinoid molecule, which helps the skin
replace its old skin cells at a faster speed, exfoliating away the old cells in the process and
preventing new acne from forming. Trifarotene works by specifically targeting the retinoic acid
receptor gamma (RAR-y), the most prevalent receptor in the skin, to reduce inflammation and
target the important factors that cause acne.

 
Trifarotene is the first new retinoid molecule to receive FDA approval for treating acne in over
25 years. It offers both dermatologists and acne patients a safe and effective prescription acne
medication for the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Galderma, a world leader in developing
innovative and safe dermatologist-approved skincare solutions, now brings Trifarotene to the
Philippines market.  The same company gave the world well-loved brands like Cetaphil, Benzac,
and Restylane, among many others. With the addition of Trifarotene to its portfolio, the company
further cements its claim as one of the most innovative dermatologist-recommended skincare-
focused companies in the world today.

dermatologists, and is recommended for patients 12 years and older.

With the all-new HERO12 Black, the GoPro Creator Summit APAC unveils the beauty of
Davao, while serving as a prelude to the Davao Adventure Challenge

Manila, 7 December 2023 – The picturesque landscapes of Philippines’ Davao Region recently
served as the setting for the electrifying convergence of creativity and adventure as the GoPro
Creator Summit Asia Pacific (APAC) unfolded from November 20 to 25, 2023. Hosted by the
Department of Tourism – Davao Region (under the auspices of Tourism Philippines), the GoPro
Creator Summit APAC sought to capture the magic of Davao through the GoPro lenses of 13 dynamic
content creators from Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Korea.
All 13 creators were hosted on an exclusive 6D5N escapade to explore the gorgeous and diverse
Davao region while fueling and spreading the LOVE FOR FUN and adventure with GoPro’s latest
flagship – the HERO12 Black, also dubbed as the “Official Camera of FUN” not just by thrill-seekers,
but also those looking to capture life’s extraordinary moments.
Through this experience, GoPro sought to inspire its squad of content creators to capture the most
extraordinary audio-visual content in a natural setting, showcasing Davao and Philippines to the
world. The creators underwent a series of adventurous pursuits in a quest to create exceptional
content with the GoPro HERO12 Black while promoting Davao Region across all GoPro-owned-and-
operated marketing channels in the region.
“The GoPro Creator Summit APAC was a journey like no other, transcending the boundaries of
adventure and creativity. Our 13 creators, armed with an array of resources which included the
HERO12 Black, explored Davao’s diverse natural wonders and cultural gems. From navigating
tropical rainforests and meandering through pristine river systems to discovering hidden caves,
cascading waterfalls, and Davao’s vibrant culinary and cultural heritage, the HERO12 Black was the
perfect companion to capture every thrilling moment,” said Rick Loughery, Vice President of Global
Marketing and Communications at GoPro.
“Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Department of Tourism – Davao Region for their
unmatched hospitality and for providing the perfect canvas for our creators to paint their fun
adventures. We can’t wait to share the remarkable content captured during this summit across our
channels, letting the world experience the enchantment of Davao through the lens of the HERO12
Black,” he added.
Besides showcasing Davao as a destination, the GoPro Creator Summit APAC also sets the stage for
Davao Adventure Challenge, a year-long campaign hosted by the Department of Tourism – Davao
Region, which will take place in 2024. It is designed to shine a spotlight on Davao’s diversity of
natural attractions while satiating the cravings of thrill-seekers and the wanderlust of nature
enthusiasts.
Throughout 2024, participants of the Davao Adventure Challenge will accumulate points as they
traverse through designated sites and complete adventure challenges. Each site is assigned specific
points, contributing to the participant’s overall adventure score.
“The GoPro Creator Summit APAC has served as an opportune prelude to a new chapter of
adventure with the upcoming Davao Adventure Challenge in 2024. Designed to cater to the innate
spirit of adventure within us, this challenge will unfold against the breathtaking backdrop of Davao’s

diverse natural wonders. We extend a warm invitation to all fun-lovers and thrill-seekers to partake
in this exciting journey, to not only experience the beauty of Davao, but also to witness our
commitment to conserve and protect a land where rich culture, vibrant festivals, and delectable
cuisine stand as testaments to the harmonious coexistence of urban life and pristine landscapes,”
said Ms Tanya Rabat-Tan, Regional Director of Department of Tourism – Regional Office XI.
“Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the fun-loving team at GoPro for their invaluable partnership
and for choosing Davao as the stage for the GoPro Creator Summit APAC. This collaboration has not
only showcased the incredible potential of Davao but has also reinforced its status as a must-
experience destination for travelers worldwide. We look forward to welcoming participants from
around the globe to take part in the Davao Adventure Challenge, where the spirit of adventure
converges with the beauty of nature in a truly unforgettable experience,” she added.
Known for its warm hospitality, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture, Davao beckons visitors to
explore its wonders, from the stunning seascape of Davao Gulf to its bustling markets. As the sun
sets over Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, one cannot help but feel enamored by the
beguiling charm of Davao, which offers a host of exhilarating moments, as witnessed through the
GoPro APAC Creators Summit and immortalized by the HERO12 Black.
The event not only celebrated adventure and creativity but also showcased the limitless possibilities
when a group of talented creators is paired with the ultimate tool for capturing the essence of life’s
most thrilling, beautiful, and FUN moments. GoPro has also prepared a video where you can watch

THE FIRST SUNRISE WI

Bottega Veneta launches its Lunar New Year campaign, starring actress Shu Qi. Directed by Jess Jing
Zou, The First Sunrise with You celebrates the first sunrise of the year, showing different characters
welcoming the dawn in a variety of panoramic settings.
Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the film is Bottega Veneta’s fourth collaboration with Jess
Jing Zou. The director was also behind the brand’s Lunar New Year campaign in 2023, Reunion in Motion,
and two Qixi films, Love in Motion and Towards You. With photography by Ken Ngan and a bespoke track
from Sega Bodega, The First Sunrise with You carries forward similar themes of travel and togetherness
while centering on the singular moment of the new year’s dawn.
Shu Qi, who joined Bottega Veneta as a brand ambassador last October, opens the film, stepping out
onto a balcony to admire the sunrise over the Shanghai skyline. A sequence of different groups and
diverse settings follow, showing friends, family members, and romantic partners coming together to
admire the dawn and anticipate the year ahead.
We see one group of friends gathering on a beach, and another riding scooters along a mountain road. A
couple admires the sunrise reflecting off snow-covered mountains while a mother-daughter duo—model
Chen Estelle and her own mother—walks along the riverside by the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai.
With its scenes of reunion and range of landscapes and cityscapes, The First Sunrise with You
foregrounds not only the transition from one year to the next and the emotion of new beginnings but
also the journeys we make to spend precious moments with places and people we hold dear.
As characters stroll the waterfront, walk along the shoreline, scooter beneath windmills, climb down rocks
to the beach, and drive along mountain roads, the film captures Bottega Veneta in motion, with a
spotlight on exclusive designs for the Chinese New Year capsule collection. The collection is themed
around the Year of the Dragon, with highlights including Andiamo, Sardine, Orbit sneakers, and a
bespoke Jodie with a dragon-tail handle.
In the Philippines, Bottega Veneta is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4 and
Shangri-La Plaza Mall East Wing. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph or follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
