Eyyy there once again, mga BLOOMs! Following the highly acclaimed Coachella debut in the past few weeks, where it made history as the first act from the Philippines to perform at the festival and emerged as one of its breakout acts that sparked massive global engagement, including more than 1 million mentions within hours of taking the stage and a no. 1 worldwide trend on X/Twitter, the Nation’s Girl Group, BINI, had announced that it will continue to rise on the global stage, through the highly anticipated Signals World Tour, beginning in SM Arena in Manila on June 20 and 21, 2026, followed by SM Arena in Seaside Cebu on July 11, 2026, and several US, Canada, Europe, and Asian tours within August to November 2026.
This announcement closely follows the latest highly anticipated release, the Signals EP, which marks their defining evolution as the Nation’s P-Pop Group, while introducing a more confident, global-facing sound that reflects their growing presence on the international stage. ABS-CBN stated that the project, led by their breakout single “Blush,” is rooted in sensory experience, exploring the fleeting moments before emotions are fully expressed, capturing feelings as they are first recognized and felt.
The girl group continued to build a powerful connection with audiences worldwide, and Weverse, which is a membership service for BLOOMs (the term for a fan of BINI), was introduced on March 16, 2026. The pre-sale for the Signals World Tour is scheduled for May 11, 2026, exclusively to all BLOOM Members via Weverse, followed by a local pre-sale on May 12, 2026, a Spotify pre-sale on May 13, 2026, and a general ticket selling day on May 15, 2026, all of which will begin its sales at 10:00 on each date.

Miguel Tanfelix on Planet XP, The return of Everybody Sing for Season 4, and Love Is Never Gone on May 8, 2026
Bilang artista, kailangan piliin mong mabuti ang mga project at advocacy mo. For example, itong Planet XP, meron siyang campaign para sa iba’t ibang community sa Pilipinas at pino-promote nito ang pag-aalaga sa nature. – Miguel Tanfelix
From May 2 to 30, 2026, every Saturday at 18:30 (after 24 Oras Weekend), GMA Network, in partnership with the National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT), as part of being a grantee of the 2024 National Endowment Fund for Children’s Television (NEFCTV), together with its Ultimate Heartthrob, Miguel Tanfelix, will deliver his passion in traveling and self-discovery that thousands of netizens hit the heart button about his posts in South America in the last year, as the host of the newest magazine infotainment offering, Planet XP.
Napatunayan ko rito na hindi sapat na pinapanood mo lang sa social media ‘yung adventures. Kailangan ma-experience mo firsthand ang pag-connect sa nature dahil marami kang matututunan, Miguel reacted about his hosting in Planet XP.
Gusto ko talaga na maging involved sa ganitong uri ng trabaho. Na-e-enjoy kong ma-experience ‘yung mga adventure kasi mas natututo ako. Gaya nung outdoor activities na na-try ko rito, for me it’s a recharge. Kahit nakakapagod physically, masaya siya emotionally. May fulfillment, he added.
The newest infotainment offering, presented with Filipino Sign Language and Closed Captions, delivers an immersive adventure and real-life encounters with nature. Miguel was able to try mountain climbing, windsurfing, and connect with indigenous people, among other activities. The show will showcase the beauty of the Philippines.
There is a sense of responsibility. Mas maraming batang nakatingin sa iyo, mas marami kang gustong gawing tama sa mundo para ma-inspire sila na gumawa rin ng tama sa ibang tao at sa kalikasan, Miguel reiterated about the testaments of his conscious efforts to become a role model to the youth.
Planet XP is among the TV shows from GMA Network that are part of the Be Juan Tama campaign of the GMA Entertainment Group. Miguel Tanfelix was also part of the campaign, alongside Boy Abunda, Chris Tiu, and Dingdong Dantes, the respective hosts of GMA Afternoon Prime talk show Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, as well as other infotainment shows on GMA that aired on weekends, including iBILIB and Amazing Earth. The advocacy, with the slogan of “Matuto, Matuwa,” encouraged its viewers and younger audiences to educate themselves by choosing any content that fosters mental, emotional, and social growth.
GMA Entertainment Group organizes the Be Juan Tama Campaign. It is in partnership with GMA Synergy, ANAK TV, the National Council for Children’s Television (NCTV), the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), the Philippine Women’s University (PWU), and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF).
The full episodes of the infotainment show will also be available on the YouTube Channels of GMA Network and GMA Playground.
Furthermore, two years after the 3rd season finale episode of the Philippines’ first community singing game show on ABS-CBN, Everybody, Sing!, hosted by Vice Ganda, returns on its 4th season, scheduled to air its premiere on May 2 and 3, 2026, at 20:30 (after Kapamilya Deal or No Deal), on Kapamilya Channel, ALLTV2, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live, and iWant.
Everybody, Sing! premiered its first season on June 5, 2021, initially via Kapamilya Channel and A2Z, delivering more fun and kantahan with the beloved Songbayanan, as the upcoming season would deliver its mission of bringing communities together with music and entertainment, powered with the resident band of the show that returned for this season, the Six Part Invention.
In addition to the excitement the game show will bring, each week will feature a special guest co-host, joining Vice Ganda, alongside a lineup of celebrity guests and singers that will bring joy and help the Songbayanan win bigger cash prizes.
And since this would be the 5th anniversary since it first aired on ABS-CBN platforms, Everybody, Sing! will introduce two new offerings, including a new segment called Singko Blanko, and a fan-favorite jackpot round, the Ultimate Everybody Guessing.
In Singko Blanko, it will feature a celebrity guest and four Represingtatives where they must guess the five missing lyrics correctly, for a chance to win up to PHP 200,000.00. In the Ultimate Everybody Guessing jackpot round, on the other hand, to win the pot prize of PHP 1,000,000.00, the Songbayanan must correctly guess all ten song titles, with one correct answer being equivalent to PHP 20,000.00. Everyone will share any part of the amount won after this round in the Songbayanan.
The returning Kapamilya game show is scheduled to premiere on May 2 and 3, 2026, at 20:30, after Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, as part of the Yes Weekend primetime block of the network.
And for the first time in Joshua Garcia and Ivana Alawi’s project pairing blended with romance and suspense, and for the first time in ABS-CBN Studios and Dreamscape Entertainment, Love Is Never Gone, the first Filipino series shot in Morocco, and an upcoming Prime Video Original Series, is set to release two new episodes every Friday, on May 8, 2026, exclusively via Prime Video.
The Manny Palo and Jojo Saguin-directed series is set within a vibrant and shadowed charm of Morocco, which spotlights their fiery roles that combine the power of intimate and steamy scenes with thrilling high-octane encounters. Joshua plays Teo, a hardworking mechanic and breadwinner who moves to Morocco to make a living. His life will take an unexpected turn when he confronts Yana (Ivana), a scheming member of a crime syndicate, for stealing his wallet, only to find out that she’s driven to do it to help pay for her ill mother’s medical expenses, ABS-CBN said in its press release.
Their complicated encounter spirals into a vicious twist of betrayal and revenge when Teo is led to believe that Yana framed him for a crime that leads to his wrongful imprisonment. Years later and back in Manila, he crosses paths yet again with Yana, who is now a socialite with a new identity, ABS-CBN added.
As two former lovers are forced to fight for survival in a dangerous world of illegal activities and vengeance, Teo’s quest for justice will take an unexpected turn when he uncovers painful secrets connected to Yana’s past.
Apart from Joshua and Ivana, the series will feature a diverse, star-studded acting ensemble, including Jameson Blake, Jane Oineza, Michael De Mesa, Epy Quizon, and Dina Bonnevie, together with Fyang Smith, JM Ibarra, JC Alcantara, Rans Rifol, Kiko Matos, Argel Saycon, Heart Ramos, Alex Medina, Benj Manalo, Carlo San Juan, and special participants, Ara Mina and Irma Adlawan.
Love Is Never Gone is scheduled to premiere on May 8, 2026, via Amazon Prime Video (subscription required).
