As the holiday season unfolds, the air becomes infused with the spirit of giving and generosity, urging us to share blessings, spread joy, and create a lasting impact in the lives of others. While exchanging gifts among family and friends is a cherished tradition, channeling a portion of that goodwill towards charitable causes can enrich the true essence of the season, heightening its spirit of compassion and selflessness.

From senior citizens yearning for companionship and care to children dreaming of a brighter future, there are numerous avenues where your contributions can make a profound difference this Christmas and throughout the year. Consider browsing through these NGOs and foundations where you can make donations or volunteer your time and efforts to support their causes.

Anawim

Founded by Catholic lay preacher Bo Sanchez in Rizal Province, Philippines, Anawim is a small yet impactful facility catering to poor and abandoned elderly individuals. Established in 1996, Anawim Lay Missions serves as a beacon of hope for rejected and abandoned seniors who once roamed the streets with nowhere to turn. Its fundamental purpose revolves around providing a haven, a sanctuary, for these elderly individuals who have been left with no place to call home.

Volunteering your time, whether online or offline, embarking on a pilgrimage, or extending financial aid, all contribute significantly to the mission of Anawim Lay Missions. By taking action and supporting their work, you actively partake in the noble cause of giving a home to these destitute and forsaken elderly individuals. Your contributions, whether through volunteering, pilgrimage participation, or financial support, play a crucial role in upholding and continuing this compassionate task of providing a nurturing abode for those who have been neglected by society.

Cribs Foundation Inc.

Cribs Foundation Inc. is another commendable institution operating in the Philippines that focuses on providing care and shelter for abandoned, neglected, and surrendered children. This non-profit organization is committed to ensuring that every child has access to a loving and nurturing environment. Cribs Foundation offers a wide array of services aimed at supporting these children, including healthcare, education, and emotional guidance.

Throughout the year, Cribs Foundation Inc. welcomes donations that contribute to the well-being and development of the children under its care. Financial contributions assist in covering daily expenses, education costs, and medical needs. Additionally, donations of clothing, books, and other essential items help create a supportive environment for these children, making their holiday season a little brighter.

Cottolengo Filipino Inc.

Nestled in its noble cause, Cottolengo Filipino Inc. stands as a sanctuary providing essential residential care for individuals who have been abandoned, neglected, surrendered, or deemed unwanted due to disabilities. This organization goes beyond offering mere shelter; it crafts a nurturing and homelike environment for its residential clients, fostering a sense of belonging and rehabilitation. Cottolengo Filipino Inc. extends its services to include vital medical care, Physical and Occupational Therapy interventions, and Special Education programs.

Furthermore, it opens its doors to financially unstable community-based Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), offering them the support and care they need. The organization’s commitment to ensuring the well-being and rehabilitation of those often marginalized or overlooked is a testament to its dedication to creating a more inclusive and supportive society. Consider supporting Cottolengo Filipino Inc. this holiday season and throughout the year, as your generosity can contribute significantly to their noble mission of providing care and hope to those in need. Your donations, whether financial aid, material contributions, or volunteer time, play a pivotal role in sustaining this haven and making a positive impact in the lives of those whom Cottolengo Filipino Inc. serves.

GALANG Philippines Inc.

In 2008, a passionate cadre of lesbian activists laid the cornerstone for Galang Philippines Inc., a pioneering initiative born from the realization that the Filipino LGBT sector was largely overlooked, especially within urban poor communities. Confronting this disparity head-on, Galang emerged as a catalyst for change, dedicated to empowering Filipino lesbians, bisexual women, and trans men (LBTs) in these marginalized settings, striving to carve pathways toward social and economic equity while advocating for a more inclusive policy framework.

Galang’s impact has been profound, establishing four LBT people’s organizations across seven barangays in Quezon City. These grassroots entities stand as pillars of empowerment, inextricably linked to Galang’s mission and fostering partnerships that drive community progress. Expanding its horizons, Galang recently broadened its scope, extending support to encompass heterosexual families and allies of LBT members. This evolution underscores Galang’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity and fostering a harmonious environment for all, transcending boundaries and championing understanding and equality.

Kanlungan ni Maria

Kanlungan ni Maria is an organization based in the Philippines dedicated to helping abandoned and neglected elderly individuals. Founded on the principles of compassion and care, it provides a home and support for elderly people who have nowhere else to turn. As the years pass by, this shelter remains a safe haven for those who often feel forgotten by society. Donations to Kanlungan ni Maria go towards providing shelter, food, medical care, and emotional support for the elderly residents, allowing them to live their twilight years with dignity and respect.

This Christmas, contributing to Kanlungan ni Maria can make a significant impact on the lives of these seniors. Donations can range from financial support to donations of essential supplies such as food, clothing, and personal care items. Volunteering time to engage with the residents, sharing stories, or organizing events can also bring immense joy and companionship to those living in the shelter.

Meritxell Children’s World Foundation Inc.

From its inception in 2008, the Meritxell Children’s World Foundation Inc. (MCWFI) has served as a beacon of hope for marginalized and abandoned children aged 0-15 in the Philippines. Initially dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by abandoned girls within the state-run care system, Meritxell swiftly expanded its mission to embrace the nurturing care of abandoned infants as well.

Your contributions to the Meritxell Children’s World Foundation Inc. directly influence the trajectory of these children’s lives, presenting them with the chance for a brighter future filled with love, care, and boundless opportunities. As the holiday season approaches and extends into the rest of the year, consider extending your support to this foundation. Your generosity holds the power to construct a brighter tomorrow for these children, transforming their lives, one caring gesture at a time.

SAGIP Babae Foundation

In a concerted effort to address the distressing realities of gender-based violence in the Philippines, the SAGIP Babae Foundation emerges as a compassionate refuge for Filipino women enduring the harrowing experiences of domestic violence, sexual harassment, or sexual abuse. As a non-government organization (NGO) deeply committed to supporting and empowering women in need, this foundation stands as a pillar of hope and solace in the face of adversity.

In a recent statement, the SAGIP Babae Foundation highlighted its focus on not just addressing the immediate aftermath of abuse but also safeguarding the mental well-being of these women. Recognizing the profound and lasting impact of trauma, the foundation is dedicated to providing resources that prioritize mental health and healing, offering a holistic approach to recovery.

However, sustaining these critical operations necessitates collective support. To ensure the longevity of their impactful work, the foundation extends an invitation for pledges and contributions from those passionate about championing this cause. Whether through monetary donations, raising awareness for the cause, or lending time and skills as a volunteer, every contribution helps fortify the foundation’s ability to reach more women in need and extend a lifeline of hope.

Have you ever thought about how a piece of fabric could shake up your identity, or even worse, deny you of it?

Related: The Power Of Safe Spaces: Splashing Colors In This Kaleidoscope World

The photos in this story were approved by the interviewee to be published but are blurred to protect her identity. 

Last November, Carla (not her real name), a 22-year-old transwoman senior student of Negros Oriental State University – Guihulngan City Campus (NORSU-G) was denied entry to her university Acquaintance Party all because of a “No-crossdressing Policy” imposed by her school’s administration. After being refused by the security guards and a few attempts at blarneying them for consideration, Carla was ultimately rejected. Despite being heartbroken and indignant, the Social Studies graduating student took to social media to share her story.

In the now-deleted Facebook post, along with selfies of herself clad in a sparkly silver half-shoulder dress she wore to the event ––a dress that reflected her identity, Carla expressed her disappointment at being barred from the event meant for expression and camaraderie. The post was quickly shared by hundreds of netizens on the platform, sparking outrage and support from her schoolmates, LGBTQIA+ members, and allies alike. Carla, on the other hand, incongruously removed the post the next day. The reason being, soon became apparent.

She said she returned to the party later that evening because her friends and teachers had asked her to come back dressed in men’s clothing rather than women’s so she could enter and change back into her original ensemble once inside. Carla further went on to say that the issue had been resolved through an “internal agreement” between her and the school admin. But one must wonder: is the issue truly resolved? Or is it simply tucked away, waiting for the next Carla to come along? 

Examining the Aftereffects: Denial of Rights and Freedom, Perpetuating Bias and Discrimination

This policy didn’t just deny Carla entry to a party; it denied her of her rights, freedom of expression, and personal identity. It’s a policy that perpetuates bias and discrimination. A policy that tells individuals how they should present themselves based on outmoded societal norms. The freedom to express oneself and to show the world who you truly are is a fundamental human right that should never be compromised.

Despite the Philippines being recognized as one of the most gay-friendly nations in the world, the struggle continues as members of the spectrum continue to be discriminated against and bullied. This endlessly contributes to the marginalization and stigmatization of individuals who identify as neither male nor female.

Such experience has been exacerbated by administrative policies that do not allow individuals to dress according to their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE). Furthermore, these outmoded policies should not be allowed in our academic institutions, as they should not be used to clothe oppression amongst the marginalized sector in our community.

This archaic policing, as it suggests, imposes regressive and conservative beliefs on students who do not conform to the standards of society, and it further boils down to the impairment and violation of their legal rights to free expression.

Gendering of Clothing and  Importance of Self-Expression

There are a lot of things to be done to foster safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, as they still experience discrimination and unjust treatment because of their mere existence and the way they express themselves.

Throughout all of history, clothes were not always gendered. People have clothed and adorned their bodies in various ways, depending on their geographical location or cultural traditions. Gendering clothes is a construct and is subjective; it is ambiguous as different types of clothing can seem normcore or gender-neutral, or feminine, or masculine, depending on who you ask.

Today, clothing and how people dress have drastically evolved; fashion and style have become the backbone of how one presents and expresses themselves, feel like themselves, and feel good about themselves.

Role of Educational Institutions in Balancing Policies and Constitutional Rights

While educational institutions and their administrations are vested with the right to make policies, their power is not absolute because they should not violate other guaranteed constitutional human rights. This impermissible policy fuels hate and hinders progress toward a better and more accepting society.

Every stakeholder in educational institutions must take part in fostering safe spaces for the LGBTQ community. Student leaders must be the voice and advocate of the marginalized group by being true representatives in lobbying these concerns with the proper school authority. Teachers must separate their personal beliefs and continue to problematize this continuing human rights issue to fully help attain their liberation from oppressors. School administration must listen to the call of their community and try to find common ground to achieve their purpose of providing globally competent education.

Nonetheless, staffers and members of our educational institution are using the argument of academic freedom as their pass to perpetrate oppression as if it’s a magic wand every time they say “no” to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

The jurisprudence in our country, according to the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, tells us that academic freedom has four aspects that the higher institutions should enjoy: (1) who may teach, (2) what may be taught, (3) how it shall be taught, and (4) who may be admitted to study. Therefore, academic freedom does not impose the power to make rules and regulations concerning dress code policy. Such policy is an administrative matter that should come from the school board, but their existing and to-be-crafted policies should not impair or abridge other constitutional rights of the students, specifically freedom of expression.

Advocating for LGBTQ+ Rights in the Face of Discriminatory Policies

Over the years, the no-crossdressing policy has been challenged and criticized by advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, who argue for greater acceptance and inclusivity. Although it is disheartening to witness the continued existence of discriminatory policies that restrict individuals from freely expressing their true selves, many private and public institutions still impose these kinds of policies, which the LGBTQ community hopes to fully eradicate.

It is important to note that societal attitudes and legal frameworks have evolved since then, and the Philippines has made significant strides towards recognizing and protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

Progressively, a number of cities and municipalities nationwide have since passed ordinances making gender-based discrimination illegal in their own localities. However, only two cities have implementing rules and regulations in place: Cebu City and Quezon City.

Consecutively, in the hopes of passing the Anti-Discrimination Bill, also known as the SOGIE Equality Bill, there have been repeated efforts to queer its pitch. It has been proposed multiple times in the Philippine Congress, but it has always been thwarted. If passed, the bill would have provided comprehensive protection against discrimination in various aspects of life, including employment, education, and public services for LGBTQ+ members.

Unfortunately, while slow progress has been made in addressing the no-crossdressing policy and promoting LGBTQ+ rights in the Philippines, the implementation and enforcement of existing laws and policies remain a challenge. It is crucial to continue advocating for comprehensive legal protections, raising public awareness, and fostering a more inclusive society to create lasting change.

Promoting Inclusivity: Creating a Diverse and Equal Future

There is a dire need for greater awareness, education, and advocacy to challenge stereotypes and promote understanding. This is a call for collective action to ensure that every individual, regardless of their identity, can live authentically without fear of prejudice and discrimination.

Battles are not won by silence, but by raising voices. By promoting LGBTQ+ rights, we can create a society where everyone is accepted and respected for who they are. It is important to provide support and resources for individuals facing discrimination, as well as to encourage open dialogue amongst different communities to foster a more inclusive society. Together, we can build a future where diversity is celebrated and equality is the norm.

Juan Karlos’ ‘ERE’ has got everyone singing their hearts out. From Kyle Echarri to Lukas Graham, here are some of our favorite celebrity ‘ERE’ covers.

Related: Oh, Di Ba: All The Historic Firsts And Records Juan Karlos’ ERE Broke

The record-breaking hit single ERE by juan karlos has made waves all over social media, streaming services, and even stages across the nation. It’s got everyone singing “Oh, ‘di ba / Nakakaputangina…” or using the song as a backing track to some of the most swear-inducing moments of their lives.

Did juan karlos anticipate how huge the song was going to get? In an interview with Billboard Philippines, the singer revealed that once a song is out, it’s—in a way—no longer his. “I don’t have anything to do with it anymore,” juan karlos said. All he wanted to do was put his feelings into a song and release it, with no expectation regarding its success or virality.

But ERE became a smash hit, and everyone knows at least some of its most famous lines. These artists, below, however, went above and beyond and sang their own version of the song in their own unique ways. From Kyle Echarri to Lukas Graham, here are some celebs who covered juan karlos’ ERE.

HIS BESTIE KYLE ECHARRI

@daaaaayana_ tatlong bilyon ikaw lang ang aking gusto!!!!!@echarripapi #kyleecharri ♬ ERE – juan karlos

Kyle Echarri may be killing the acting game lately, but let’s not forget he’s also a talented singer and got his start singing on The Voice Kids, much like juan karlos himself. Bringing the vibes to AirAsia’s PasGoGoGo Fest, Kyle launched into a heartfelt performance of ERE, showing off his impressive vocal range and emotion. The artist also sang the song again on the ASAP Natin ‘To stage a month earlier. Biggest juan karlos fan award goes to him, actually.

KYLE ECHARRI PART 2—WITH JUAN KARLOS THIS TIME

@abscbn The collab we never knew we needed! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #Kapamilya #ABSCBN #ForeverGratefulChristmasSpecial #ABSCBNChristmasSpecial2023 #FYP #Ere #KyleEcharri #JK ♬ original sound – ABS-CBN

We weren’t kidding. Kyle sings the song again, this time in a spectacular duet with his good friend, Senior High co-star, and original ERE singer juan karlos. Their fun performance turned into a sing-off, and each of them genuinely looked elated at each other’s singing. JK and Kyle were eventually joined on stage by other young leading stars Elijah Canlas, Zaijan Jaranilla, Grae Fernandez, and more.

PABLO OF SB19

At the Shopee Super Awards, and his first solo engagement no less, Pablo Nase of SB19 sang a surprise cover of ERE. Emotional and heartfelt, the singer showed off sensational talent and stable, stirring vocals. That vibrato, though!

DIA MATÉ

Singer-songwriter Dia Maté posted her own short, stripped-down version of ERE, channeling the hurt and bitterness that makes the song what it is.

ARTHUR NERY

Arthur Nery sang his own rendition of the song (feat. a vacuum cleaner), his silky voice echoing in a dark room. His notes were floaty and enchanting, offering a slow, acapella twist to the alt-rock track. ERE (Arthur’s Version) – 2 a.m. Version when?

GLAIZA DE CASTRO

Glaiza de Castro’s deep, haunting vocals are a welcome addition to the viral hit, lending to it a different kind of strength and power. She performed the song twice live, and each time, the actress and singer’s low notes and buildup to the peak of the song gave us goosebumps.

MOIRA DELA TORRE

@moiradelatorre #stitch with @JERGE hahahahahahahahahah @juan karlos @I Belong To The Zoo @dia maté ♬ original sound – Moira Dela Torre

The Pinay singer-songwriter hilariously stitched a TikTok of someone singing ERE “Moira style,” sharing her own soft, charming version of the song, accompanied by juan karlos himself softly strumming a guitar. Who knew “nakakaputangina” could sound so sweet?

LUKAS GRAHAM

@islandrecordsph #Ere by @juan karlos feat. @Lukas Graham 🔥 💯 #LukasGrahamInManila #lukasgraham #ere ♬ ERE – juan karlos

In a surprise performance, Danish pop band Lukas Graham invited juan karlos to the stage and they sang ERE together at the Lukas Graham concert back in October. They even shared a snippet of JK teaching Lukas the song, prompting people to comment on how he’s learning swear words in the language first. (He was down for it.)

Tip no. 1: It’s all about blending basics and experimenting—incorporating Peach Fuzz as an accent or exploring its potential as a standalone statement piece.

Related: Bea Borres Is Making a Case for Pink OOTDs and We’re Obsessed

As the new year rolls in, the Pantone Color Institute has unveiled the Color of the Year for 2024. Stepping into the spotlight is the serene and charming color of Peach Fuzz—a hue that exudes warmth, whimsy, and a touch of nostalgic bliss.

Peach Fuzz isn’t just a color revelation; it’s a celebratory milestone for the Pantone Color Institute, commemorating 25 influential years of shaping fashion and design. This soft and soothing shade’s announcement has sparked a sense of belonging and comfort, offering a calming respite in an ever-evolving world.

The Story Behind the Color Choice

‘Peach Fuzz brings belonging, inspires recalibration, and an opportunity for nurturing, conjuring up an air of calm,’ stated Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director at the Pantone Color Institute, elucidating the reasoning behind this selection. ‘Peach Fuzz awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth.’

Shifting gears from last year’s high-energy AI-generated Viva Magenta, Peach Fuzz brings a mellow visual vibe. This subtle, sherbet-inspired hue is your serene escape in the whirlwind of recent events—a calming sanctuary in the chaos of today’s world.

Now, as we step into the world of Peach Fuzz, let’s explore exciting styling tips to incorporate the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 into your wardrobe.

Blending Basics

When it comes to infusing Peach Fuzz into your style lineup, the crisp elegance of white effortlessly melds with this serene hue, creating a refreshing and radiant blend. Picture this: styling a white button-up shirt with peachy pants or a skirt for an effortless, everyday look. Want to elevate it? Layer a peach cardigan over your white outfit to infuse a lively burst of color into your ensemble.

Chic Colorblocking

In 2024, it’s time to dive deep into trendy, chic color-blocking techniques. Channel something sultry with a mauve cami, perfectly paired with peach culottes and chic camel pumps for a confidence-boosting ensemble. For a more classic combination, embrace the beautiful blend of peaches and sky blues. Try a blue blouse, complemented by doll shoes in the same shade or a deeper hue, and add a maxi skirt for your final touch of peach. If you’re feeling adventurous, any shade of blue, mauve, and purple works with Peach Fuzz.

Day to Night

Peach Fuzz is a total day-to-night maestro—it’s got you covered round the clock. For those sunny days, flaunt airy linen pieces in this dreamy hue for a chilled-out vibe. But when the night falls, switch gears with luxurious silk and velvet textures. Start your day with a power move in a Peach Fuzz blouse and tailored trousers, then effortlessly transform your look for the night by adding some bold bling or a sleek blazer. It’s all about that versatile transition from AM to PM in style.

Go for Monochrome

You could never go wrong with monochrome. For a stunningly straightforward look, embrace the subtle sophistication of garments in the same peach tone or within the same color range. Try that peach-on-peach ensemble with a blazer, tank, and trousers combo that’s totally stylish but also says ‘I mean business.’

Minimalism or Maximalism?

Peach Fuzz brings the best of both worlds—minimalism and maximalism. For minimalists, subtly incorporate this hue as an accent in your outfit with Peach Fuzz accessories like scarves, belts, or stylish shoes, adding that touch of warmth and sophistication. But for the maximalists out there, don’t hold back! Go all-in with head-to-toe Peach Fuzz outfits or rock bold patterns in this shade. It’s audacious, chic, and an absolute showstopper.

Scream Sophistication with Neutrals

Scream sophistication with neutrals as your canvas for showcasing the serene charm of Peach Fuzz. Imagine serving shades like beige, caramel, or tan forming the perfect backdrop that allows the Pantone Color to steal the spotlight, crafting ensembles that exude subtlety and elegance. Elevate your style effortlessly by pairing a peach blouse with tan trousers or a beige skirt. To refine your style further, consider layering a lightweight beige blazer over a peach dress or opting for a caramel-toned blazer to complement a neutral top with Peach Fuzz accents.

Kathryn Bernardo always shows up and shows out when in the spotlight, and here are some of the moments where she totally ate up the dance floor.

Related: 5 Times Kathryn Bernardo And Dolly de Leon Were The Dynamic Duo Of Our Dreams

More than just a lauded actress and one of the biggest stars of this generation, Kathryn Bernardo shows that she can get down on the dance floor and serve main dancer energy. From her viral Water performance to ASAP Natin ‘To performances over the years, the star proves that her talents transcend from screen to stage.

Kathryn clearly enjoys dancing, too, having danced in studios and collaborated with members of dance troupe GForce multiple times over the years, and many of them consider her a friend, as well. She can hold her own when performing fast-paced and edgy choreography as well as ethereal, alluring ones. Back in 2018, GForce member Ritz Charles Beltran already commended her focus and improvement, and believed in her all the way. Beltran eventually became Kathryn’s choreographer-in-charge for the Water performance that brought to even wider attention Kathryn’s dance prowess. In recognition of said prowess, we’ve collected a few moments below that demonstrate just how she ate up the dance floor.

MAKE ME HOTTER

@thisisntleii kathryn bernardo in her solo era. 🔥 #fyppppp #kathrynbernardo #waterdancechallenge ♬ Water – Tyla

For the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2023, Kathryn gifted everyone a performance of Tyla’s viral hit Water that was both passionate and electric, complete with an epic mermaid-out-of-water outfit and long orange hair. She nailed the performance, if the resounding screams didn’t tell you enough.

AT REHEARSAL

@abscbn You made us lose our breath, Queen Kath! 💦🥵 Watch the exclusive clips from Asia’s Superstar #KathrynBernardo’s Water rehearsal. #ABSCBNChristmasSpecial2023 #ForeverGratefulChristmasSpecial #Kapamilya #ABSCBN #fyp ♬ original sound – ABS-CBN

Even when just casually rehearsing, Kathryn’s vibe is unmatched. You can clearly sense her focus and commitment to doing a great job while still dancing as if it was effortless—and a great job she did, as she stole everyone’s breath away during the actual performance.

VIBING IN DANCE STUDIOS

The stage isn’t the only place to show off moves. Even at dance studios, where Kathryn finds herself learning and performing choreo, she gives it her all and dances her heart out.

HER BIRTHDAY DANCE NUMBER

Kath-iana Grande celebrated turning 23 with a performance of 7 Rings, an intense showcase of girlbossery and what everyone needs to be doing on their birthday—having fun. Comparing this dance number to her Water performance, and you can clearly see how far she’s come and how well she’s grown into a confident, accomplished young woman.

A “RARE” PERFORMANCE

The ASAP stage has blessed us plenty of times with Dancer Kath moments. Cool, collected, and confident, her performance set to Selena Gomez’s Rare was a fun stage that felt like you were just having a dance party with your favorite girl friends. Hopefully Dancer Kath wouldn’t be a “rare” occurrence and we see her moving and grooving more frequently.

SEÑORITA KATH

Someone call the fire department, because Kathryn set the stage on fire with her effortlessly-sensual performance of Señorita. With her long hair, patterned outfit, and her piercing looks, the young artist’s number was hot, hot, hot.

SINGING AND DANCING LIVE

@sjy.pjs Kathryn’s “Made You Look” dance performance 🔥😍 #kathrynbernardo #fypシ #foryoupage #fyp ♬ Made You Look – Meghan Trainor

Kathryn, of course, is a great singer as well, with a whole self-titled album released back in 2014 and a few single tracks. So, it’s no surprise that the multi-hyphenate would eat a performance where she both sings and dances—and she’s done plenty. This Made You Look number is an example of her ability to command a stage and get all eyes on her.

ETHEREAL AND ELEGANT

This So You Think You Can Dance/Dancing With The Stars-worthy performance was artistic and elegant, showing a different side to Dancer Kathryn that wasn’t seen before. Her contemporary dance to Moira Dela Torre and Jason Marvin’s romantic duet Ikaw at Ako is soaring and dramatic, a perfect blend of her acting and dancing prowess.

All the moments between Snoop (Anthony Jennings) and Irene (Maris Racal) in ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ make us think perhaps SnoRene should be endgame.

Related: 6 Times Caroline and Irene Tiu from Can’t Buy Me Love Were Besties Off Camera

There are some duos who are planned, others happen out of the blue. For Can’t Buy Me Love‘s Snoop and Irene, the duo are definitely the latter. Emerging favorite tandem SnoRene is making waves for their hilarious dynamic and comedic chemistry together—a chemistry that could bloom into, perhaps, a romance? The charmingly funny Snoop Manansala (Anthony Jennings) and spoiled but unexpectedly comedic Irene Tiu (Maris Racal), like many of the characters on Can’t Buy Me Love, started out with a rocky relationship that’s exacerbated by their vastly different upbringings and personalities, as well as the unfortunate situations they find themselves in.

But as the show goes on and they’re given more chances to interact, viewers can’t help but be drawn into the way they steal a scene, making for great laughs and a hope that their characters’ friendship or relationship can be developed further. They give classic comedy duo vibes who lowkey need their own spin-off series. Netflix Philippines’ TikTok bio even reads “in my sno-rene era ✨”. If you’d like to join the rest of us in our SnoRene era, check out some of their best moments tgoether below.

SUPER SNOOP

As the spunky, makulit, G-for-anything, loyal best friend to Donny Pangilinan’s Bingo, Snoop Manansala’s got a good heart. Under all that sarcasm and snark, he’s a sweet, kind guy. His first encounter with Irene had him tying himself to a rope and caught a falling Irene before she could seriously get hurt. Super Snoop to the rescue!

DI KA NA RAW SASALUHIN, IRENE

@netflixph the snoop and irene ship has sailed and I am on it 🔥 #ireneti u #CantBuyMeLove #CBML #MarisRacal #AnthonyJennings #Netflix #irenetiu ♬ original sound – Netflix Philippines

Invited back to the Tiu mansion, Snoop loads up on the food and spots the Tiu daughter, resting from all that’s happened to her. Dapper in his suit, Snoop cheerfully greets Irene and asks how she is, but Irene does not remember the man who saved her. This marks the start of their hilarious dynamic, and each actor plays into their role so well. Snoop’s commentary and choking with his mouth full of food was icing on the cake.

THERE’S SO MUCH POOP 😭!!!

A post shared by Maris Racal (@mariesteller)

Maris popped off in this scene, and honestly, she’s so me. Stepping multiple times on mounds of poop could make anyone burst into tears and call for mommy. Another bonus is the continuation of the running gag that everyone assumes Snoop is up to no good when he’s just caught up in random Irene-related scenarios.

ANAK KA NG BANGS

@netflixph nahulog na po si irene kay snoop. literal. #CantBuyMeLove #CBML #AnthonyJennings #MarisRacal #Netflix ♬ original sound – Netflix Philippines

Here they go again. An upset, drunk Irene just so happened to collapse right in front of Snoop, and kind, unfortunate man he is, tries to help her up, only to get puked on by a barely-conscious rich girl and mistaken as someone who ran her over. We totally understand why he calls her bad luck later on in the show.

NAPAGKAMALAN NA NAMAN

@netflixph si snoop na ginawang masamang spirit si irene 💧 #Snorene #CantBuyMeLove #CBML #MarisRacal #AnthonyJennings #Netflix ♬ original sound – Netflix Philippines

Never a proper understanding between these two! Snoop brings an unconscious and hungover Irene back with him to let her rest, and even tries to keep her decent, but of course, it’s never that easy for SnoRene. She wakes up the most inopportune time and assumes he was touching her inappropriately (and the situation was honestly pretty easy to misconstrue!), leading her to run away from him and call him all sorts of names. Poor Snoop.

MAMA KO?

@netflixph change roles tayo for today. si snoop na rin po ay nahulog na kay irene 🏃🍌 #CBML #CantBuyMeLove #MarisRacal #AnthonyJennings #Netflix #Snorene ♬ original sound – Netflix Philippines

Irene and Snoop were very much giving Anne Curtis and Vice Ganda in this snippet from their exchange where Irene is trying to convince Snoop to let her help him out with his date. After once again literally bumping into each other and Irene chasing Snoop down and calling him names after dropping her egg tarts—but hey, at least this time she recognized him—the two once again fight, with Irene wanting to thank him and Snoop just wanting nothing more to do with her. Snoop uses the classic “mama mo” response, but Irene doesn’t get it and thinks it’s serious. Classic case of kanal vs. aircon humor fr.

BANGER LINE AFTER BANGER LINE

Whoever wrote this scene, they cooked. And so did Anthony and Maris, what with their acting and line delivery that made us eat up every second. “Tiu ka, ‘di ba? Tsupi!” and “Wala ka bang self-awareness?” will live rent free in our minds. We simply can’t get enough of these two on our screens.

Missing Coach Stell a little extra lately? Here’s a rundown of some of the winning coach’s best moments from ‘The Voice Generations’.

Related: 8 Moments That Prove Stell Is The Comedian Of SB19

Having SB19’s Stell Ajero be a coach on the newly-minted iteration of The Voice Philippines titled The Voice Generations was a fantastic idea, and everyone knew it from the get-go. From bringing talent, humor, and a fresh perspective to the show to getting a chance to show off his well-honed skills by mentoring talented singers, Stell has proven himself a worthy addition to the coaching panel—especially when he won the whole thing.

During the finale last December 10, it was announced that VocalMyx, Coach Stell’s last standing team of the season (and the first artist to be part of Team StellBound), won the grand prize and earned the title of the first The Voice Generations Grand Champion in the Philippines and in Asia. First-time judge Stell subsequently won the coaching winner title himself. Throughout the show, the singer and performer exuded such charm, humor, and care for both his team and his fellow coaches, and we’ve rounded up a few of his best moments from his coaching stint on the show below.

WELCOME TO MY TEAM

@_kwenni219 Ipaglaban at angkinin mo rin ako, Stell😭🧎‍♀️ Yung wala talagang dead air at puro tawa nalang ako kanina HAHAHAHA. Lahat ng pwedeng gawin, ginawa na niya para sa group na gusto niya WAHAHAHA. Well, siya naman nakakuha nung first group, slayed so much🤩 #sb19 #sb19_stell #ppop #thevoicegenerations #fypシ #fypfypfyp #foryoupage #foryou #fyp ♬ GENTO – SB19

Let’s go back to a beginning full of firsts, when VocalMyx, the first contestants to perform, earned the first four-chair turn of the season and were the first team to be part of Stell’s Team StellBound. The coaches, particularly Stell and Billy Crawford, hilariously fought tooth and nail to get the group to choose them. Stell’s silver tongue and quick wit immediately set the stage for how he was going to be as a coach, and ultimately won the talented VocalMyx over—and the rest was history.

JAMIE MILLER X STELL

During the semi-finals, Welsh singer Jamie Miller dropped by The Voice Generations stage to perform with coaches Julie Anne San Jose and Stell. He and Stell performed the Here’s Your Perfect, a collab that was years in the making and showing everybody their talent and how well their voices complemented each other. Those high notes were exquisite.

KAKILIG KA NAMAN, STELL

Ended that argument real quick! Coach Julie and Stell were about to square off in another bardagulan, but Stell opted for the playful route, rendering her speechless.

SHOWING OFF THOSE PIPES

@notmaechasv Nabitin ng slight Coach! Wala ba continuation nito? #sb19 #sb19_stell #stell #tvg #coachstell #TVGCoachStell #TheVoiceGenerations #TheVoiceGenerationsPH ♬ original sound – Maechaa|SV🍓

Stell has very quickly learned the ways of The Voice. Singing to a contestant is almost always a surefire way to get them on your team. And with that angelic, crystal clear voice singing Makita Kang Muli, the audition song of contestants Music and Me? Consider us StellBound. Even if they didn’t join his team, that was truly a moment.

MORE OF THOSE PIPES FT. COACH JULIE

@thevoicegenph Coach Stell at Coach Julie, nag-duet! #thevoicegenerations #thevoicegenerationsph #TheVoiceGenFanReacts #BeKind ♬ original sound – The Voice Generations PH

There’s a reason these artists were made coaches. Stell and fellow coach, singer and actress Julie Anne San Jose, launched into a spontaneous duet and spawned a beautiful harmony that makes us want a full duet.

PINOY HENYO (THE VOICE VER.)

@thevoicegenph Pinoy Henyo, Coach Stell and Coach Julie edition! 😂 #thevoicegenerations #thevoicegenerationsph ♬ original sound – The Voice Generations PH

There goes Stell’s quick wit again. He’s simply never going to let there be any amount of dead air, always filling the studio with jokes and great vibes, not just making the coaches and audience laugh, but providing a sense of comfort to some very nervous contestants.

STEALING EVERYBODY’S HEARTS

It can’t be helped that people from both the audience and the contestants would be fans of Stell and SB19. Even though Fources was on Coach Billy’s team, Stell was clearly one of their idols and he stole the scene, Niall Horan on The Voice US-style.

MENTORING HIS TEAM WITH HIS TEAM

Coach Stell bringing the rest of the members of SB19 to help mentor Team StellBound made for great coaching sessions where they as a group helped another group of men (as well as the other members of Team StellBound) by drawing from their own musical experiences and sharing what’s worked for them as one of the biggest music acts in the nation.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HOLD HIS HAND

@jeya_ajero wala kaming nakita coach Stell HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #sb19 #sb19_stell #foryou #fyp ♬ original sound – Jela – Jeya♡

In a moment that even he didn’t expect to be shown, Stell helps Coach Julie back to her chair, but jokingly gestures that no one was there to hold his hand to help him up his chair.

WINNING THE WHOLE THING

Of course, winning the first-ever The Voice Generations with the first artists on his team on his first coaching stint is a major milestone for the artist. It must be an amazing feeling to know that you helped guide aspiring artists to success, changing their lives forever as yours also does. What a win!

HE REALLY CARES FOR HIS MENTEES

In one of the hardest decisions he had to make as a coach, Stell had to choose who between VocalMyx and ForteNors would advance to the Grand Finals. Both teams did a great job, and an emotional Coach Stell thanked them for their trust in a newbie. Holding back his tears, the coach praised all the artists and validated what they could possibly be feeling at that moment before ultimately choosing VocalMyx to join him in the finale and bursting into tears while his fellow judges comforted him.

You could tell how much of himself Stell put into mentoring both groups, and how much it affected him to have to let go of one of them. But that’s what makes a great coach—the immense amount of care they have for the people they’re trying to help and the openness to learn as they go through their respective journeys. “You guys showed me na being an artist ay hindi lang tungkol sa skill…ang pagiging artist ay pagkakaroon ng puso.”
