‘Superman' cast grateful for warmth, support given by Filipino fans
The cast and crew of the new 'Superman' film have expressed their profound joy and gratitude following their visit to the Philippines, which was the first stop of their world tour.
In Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras' Friday, David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan talked about the love they felt from the Filipino fans.
'To show up and have people dressed as Superman and dressed as Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific, and there were definitely some Lois Lanes out there, it's really just we get to come and celebrate this amazing legacy of these characters in this world and get excited for the new chapter that we're bringing,' David said.
'You know, we're the new kids on the block, and to feel that warmth and that kind of support as we're kicking off this tour was really, really special. So we're very grateful to have started here in the Philippines,' Rachel said.
David will star as Superman and Clark Kent in the film, while Rachel will play the role of Lois Lane.
Director James Gunn also explained his motivation for the approach of the movie, particularly in the current global climate.
'I think that we've gotten in the world—the world seems kind of mean lately. I think that I really just want to remind people and myself about the values of basic human kindness,' he said.
On social media Friday, the "Superman" film shared photos of the stars alongside James and co-producer Peter Safran posing with a Superman-themed jeepney.
'Superman' opens in cinemas and IMAX on July 9. It establishes the iconic hero in the new DC Studios cinematic universe headed by Gunn and Peter Safran.
According to Gunn, "Superman" has become more than a movie for him. "It's a story about humanity, about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn't always make it easy to be one.'
The film also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.

Shuvee Etrata says she felt betrayed by AZ Martinez but 'malaki naman po 'yung heart ko to forgive her'
Shuvee Etrata acknowledged that she felt betrayed by AZ Martinez after the latter nominated her for eviction in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," but she believes that her heart is big enough to forgive her. In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Friday, the Sparkle star shared that she and AZ found their way back to each other when she returned to "PBB" as a duo challenger. "I-acknowledge ko lang din naman po, I felt betrayed nung time po na 'yun but malaki naman po 'yung heart ko to forgive her and we found our way back to each other naman," she said. "Parang nung bumalik po ako, naging emotional po ako kasi even if it's hard for me na nangyari po sa amin iyon, na we had to part ways like that, nandun pa rin po 'yung hope to form the bond again, to be okay again. Hinihintay ko lang po siya sa labas para po mas mapag-usapan namin." She also had a short but impactful message to her fans: "Spread love, not hate." During the interview, Shuvee also shared that she still feels guilty that she and Klarisse De Guzman got evicted. "I felt so bad kasi we were nominated because of me so parang 'yung guilt na 'yun until now, dala-dala ko siya, bubog ko siya," she said. She added that she could not believe all the love and support she received from fans when she exited Bahay ni Kuya, noting that she is still overwhelmed until now. Shuvee and Klarisse De Guzman were the latest duo to be evicted from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." This week, Shuvee and Klang along with the other evicted "PBB" housemates returned to the house as duo challengers. Shuvee and Klang's return finally gave all of them closure, with the housemates turning emotional after getting the chance to speak to the two again. AZ got to apologize to Shuvee and Klang and share a hug with them. She also told Shuvee that she would make it up to her. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network weeknights at 9:35 p.m. and on Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

President Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos visited the Philippine Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan on June 20, 2025. (Screenshot from RTVM) President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos on Friday visited the Philippine Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. The First Couple was given a guided walk-through inside the Philippine Pavilion, which features the largest collaboration of Filipino weavers, with more than 200 handwoven panels created by master artisans from across the country. Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco and Deputy Speaker and Cebu Representative Duke Frasco joined the First Couple during the walk-through. The woven panels formed part of a dynamic façade that opens throughout the day to showcase live performances, the Presidential Communications Office said. Meanwhile, Marcos also visited the circular structure of the Japan Pavilion that carries the theme ''Between Lives.'' Embodying the cycle of life, this features a biogas power generation using food waste from the Expo site and other cutting-edge Japanese carbon recycling technologies in order to create a cyclical loop. This aims to inspire visitors to adopt sustainable behaviors for a sustainable society.—LDF, GMA Integrated News
