With the arrival of March comes hotter days, the official start to the 2025 summer season, Women’s Month, and more. But blue skies and a glaring sun aren’t the only things that had our attention this March. From new movies to new albums and more, we had our fill of fun entertainment this month that we’ll highkey be remembering long after the month is over. Check out our picks for March below, some of which we’re probably your faves, too.
ZOMBIEBOY BY LADY GAGA – RAFAEL BAUTISTA, DEPUTY EDITOR
Mayhem was not the album I initially expected from Lady Gaga. But over time, I’ve learned to love it for what it is, and Zombieboy has been on repeat ever since the album came out. I’m a sucker for disco productions so this song is right up my alley as a true earworm in my opinion. Gaga snapped here, and not only is Zombieboy my favorite track on the LP (aside from Abracadabra), but it’s also one of my top songs of the year so far.
MICKEY 17 – RAFAEL BAUTISTA, DEPUTY EDITOR
What I love most about Mickey 17 is how Robert Pattinson looks to be having so much fun as a titular Mikey. He looked like he enjoyed his time making the movie and it made the film that much better. And for fans of Bong Joon-Ho’s English films, Mickey 17 isn’t far from what you’d expect from the acclaimed director; a dystopian black sci-fi comedy with a not-so-subtle take on today’s political climate.
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES – BIANCA LAO, SENIOR BRAND ASSOCIATE
It took an IU and Park Bogum drama to take me out of my K-Drama hiatus, but the story and plot of When Life Gives You Tangerines to make me stay throughout the series. Grab your tissues, besties – this series is a wild ride and is not for the weak-hearted (I have not stopped crying since watching it last weekend). While I don’t want to spoil anything, the series will poke at your heart strings, provide you a sense of belonging and comfort, and will teach you great things. If you have the time to indulge in a new series, take a chance on this series and I promise you, you will not regret it!
MULTO BY CUP OF JOE – NICA GLORIOSO, FEATURE AND POP CULTURE WRITER
Hindi na makalaya indeed. 😅 With the music video coming out, I was alerted to this banger of a track from Cup Of Joe, and within a week or two, it made it to my most-played tracks of the month. Multo is relapse-worthy, but it’s just too good for me to not queue it five times in a row.
RUBY ALBUM BY JENNIE – GELO QUIJENCIO, MULTIMEDIA ARTIST
I’ve been playing Ruby non-stop since its release. I love how the album captures JENNIE’s artistry from rap to vocals! Plus, the artists Jennie collabs within this album are top-tier. Bonus: with the IE (way up) and Seoul City are my top tracks!
BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON VOL.1’ IN MANILA – GELO QUIJENCIO, MULTIMEDIA ARTIST
This concert is truly memorable and heartfelt for someone who’s been a OneDoor since debut. Their stage performance, aura, songs, even their VCR, and LIVE VOCALS are truly through the roof. I loved it when they did a full-on Filipino skit before their song Nice Guy. Truly, the boys serenaded Filo OneDoor with their concert here in Manila.
BURIED HEARS – NIKKI BALBOA, HEAD OF OPERATIONS
As a K-girlie, I’m soooo obsessed with Buried Hearts on Disney+. Riveting! The theme revolves around revenge, family ties, and honor. I like the mind games, the struggle for power, and how it’s not a sad story (so far). Somewhat related to what’s happening here in the Philippines. Men in polished suits are also wonderful!
