Through organic integration into engaging content, brands can make authentic connections with audiences who want entertainment value.


Hepmil Philippines Reveals New and Relatable Showstoppers

At the forefront is "Oner Gang," an exhilarating travel show featuring social media sensations Jico Umali and Risha Rodriguez. Embarking on an adventure across the Philippines, each episode immerses viewers in the tapestry of local communities to offer an authentic glimpse into the nation's diverse cultures. From savoring delectable cuisines to exploring natural wonders, “Oner Gang” promises an unforgettable expedition.

Injecting humor into the lineup is PGAG's latest show, a workplace satire hilariously named "Sa Office." Starring a stellar cast including Eryka Lucas, Jico Umali, Al Gentrix, and Bert Javellana, the series provides a comedic yet relatable look at office life. Penned by Aly Almario (Alyloony), "Sa Office'' guarantees PGAG's signature laugh-out-loud moments.
