I have many friends who are looking forward to watching Avengers: Endgame (myself included) and have been counting down the hours and days. Luckily, there are theaters that have decided to open their doors extra early (before 11am) on April 24 AND decided to have viewings for 24 hours from the 24th to the 26th! Amazing, right?
If I had to guess it is possibly because the movie is 3 hours long so they want to accommodate more people in a day, and, thus, earn more. But which theaters are these? Here is a list of theaters in Metro Manila with screenings before 11am (for your reference) taken from Clickthecity.com.

They say that teaching is the only profession that creates other professions. I believe this to be true. Without a teacher there wouldn’t be doctors, engineers, mechanics, artists, etc., and yes, more teachers.
Most, if not all of us would agree that our first teacher was our parent (mom). She taught the difference between right from wrong. Then at age 3 or 4 (sometimes older) we are sent off to school everyday to learn from another person … our school teacher. Our teachers change from subject to subject, quarter to quarter, term to term, year to year. And in all that time and all those teachers there is often one or two that we remember fondly — the teacher/s that made a great impact in our life.
In a recent presscon, Director Anthony Hernandez and the cast of the movie introduce New Generation Heroes, their new movie that will be available for viewing starting October 4. New Generation Heroes is a World Teacher’s Day presentation.
The New Generation Heroes
Director Anthony Hernandez honors teachers in his upcoming film, New Generation Heroes. In this film he features four (4) teachers starting with a retired, well-respected and well-loved teacher of 40 years played by Anita Linda,
In comes a pushcart educator named Gener played by Jao Mapa. His character is most likely inspired by the story of Efren Peñaflorida, the pushcart educator who was named CNN Hero of the Year in 2009.
Efren Peñaflorida, CNN Hero of the Year in 2009

Third is an enterprising teacher named Lolita played by Mrs. Universe 2017 Joyce Peñas Pilarsky. She is a widow and the sole provider for her children.
Her need to raise her family has led to her finding all sorts of ways to make enough to make ends meet besides teaching – networking, buy and sell, selling home-cooked meals, etc.

And last is Cora played by Aiko Melendez, an OFW who is an English teacher in Korea.
She decided to work overseas in an effort to give her family in the Philippines a better life — tuition for her 2 children and the construction of their home. Little did she know that her husband was using the money she sent home on alcohol and gambling and her eldest child, Tony, was a drug addict.
Her son, Tony, was killed by the police as part of the government’s operation “tokhang” and this became her motivation to leave her job in Korea and decide to come back home to the Philippines.
Four stories of dedication, strength of character, love of family … these four are the new generation heroes.
New Generation Heroes can be viewed at SM Cinemas starting Oct. 4, 2017. Watch this film and think about those beloved teachers from our past and present.

In a world filled with homo sapiens with stories of homo superiors, Pizza Hut brings to us a pizza superior … the 18″ Xtreme blowout pizza!

Pizza Hut’s 18” Blowout Pizza
The Pizza Hut blowout pizza is superior in every way … superior in size, superior in quality, superior in price, superior in taste! And best of all, it is big enough to share with your family and friends. Think of it as a party pizza. That’s how I see it. 😀
Imagine, if you will … one VERY BIG pizza with 4 flavors on it … Hawaiian (for those who like pineapples on their pizza), Supreme (their classic flavor), Roast beef (yum, yum!), and Sausage and Bacon (come on! Who doesn’t love bacon? :D) With all those flavors in one thick crust, how can you go wrong? The way they slice it, this pizza cuts up to 12 generous slices. Personally, though, I would prefer if they cut it in squares or in a spider cut. That way more people can enjoy all the flavors instead of just 3 slices per flavor.
The Pizza Hut Xtreme Blowout Pizza can be purchased ala carte at P659 or with the Xtreme blowout feast, good for a group of six (6) or more. At P999, P1,299, and P1,499 these Xtreme blowout feasts are very affordable. Photos below are taken from the Pizza Hut website.
If you choose to get your Xtreme blowout pizza ala-carte an add-on of just P99 will get you any of the following selections:
- 2 single servings of spaghetti bolognese
- 2 piece fried chicken with rice
- 1 family size slingers (that’s potato slices to the confused)
- 1.5 liters of Pepsi or Mountain Dew
Movie Tie-in
This unique pizza was created as a tie-in with the upcoming movie from 20th Century Fox, X-Men: Apocalypse. Showing here in the Philippines on May 18, 2016, the Xtreme blowout pizza is a great complement to X-Men: Apocalypse. Here’s a sneak peek of the movie, X-Men: Apocalypse.
Is that all they are offering? A pizza?
The Pizza Hut blowout pizza is already amazing but Pizza Hut elevates their game even more. What more does Pizza Hut have in store for us?

Xtreme blowout special collectible pizza boxes
Let’s start with collectible Xtreme blowout pizza boxes. You read it right … collectible. These beautifully printed boxes would look good mounted on a wall as posters, don’t you think?

The winners of the 2016 Bb. Pilipinas with Mr. Raymund Nobleza, Marketing Officer-in-Charge for Pizza Hut, Mr. TH Lim, Chief Operating Officer of Pizza Hut, and Mr. Tony Rulloda, Marketing Director of 20th Century Fox holding up the collectible Xtreme blowout pizza boxes.
How about the chance to own your very own limited edition Magneto Helmet.
For the grand prize, a vacation at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada! Click here for more details.

And to add some fun to the experience dine-in customers will have the pleasure of being served in costume by some of the Pizza Hut crew. Take a selfie with them and post it on Facetube (hyuk! Inside joke. :D), I mean Facebook. 😀

Selfie with Ronz aka Magneto and the limited edition Magneto helment
For the presscon we were served by mini versions of Magneto, Psylocke (which she pronounced SKY-LOCK, LOL! I guess she does not really know her character) and a female version of Archangel.
These youngsters are so cute! The tallest of them (Ronz aka Magneto) barely reached my eyebrows. 😀 At the end of the presscon I managed to take a selfie with him holding the limited edition Magneto helmet. 😀

Here we our in our group pic with our mini X-Men.
