Global Street Dance Icons Link Up with Manila’s Finest Ahead of Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals

When the Red Bull Dance Tour arrives in the Philippines on April 9, the street dance scene in Manila is expected to erupt. The city will become a colorful melting pot for other freestyle cultures and the nation's own street dance legends thanks to international street dance icons MT Pop, The D-Soraki, Nonoy, and Chrissy Chou.

The tour will spark a number of partnerships that are anticipated to bring together the best in the world and the spirit of the local dance community, from workshops and showcases to moments building up to the main stage at Bridgetowne Concert Grounds for the Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals. It will foster a potent interaction between domestic talent and global experience.

A Global Tour Meets Manila’s Dance Floor

The visiting freestyle dancers will arrive in Manila with the same vibrant and strong spirit that characterizes Red Bull Dance Your Style, fresh from thrilling stops around Asia. The Manila stop is set to become more than simply a tour stop for performances; it will serve as a gathering place where international celebrities will dance to the beat of the local street dance scene. They will collaborate with some of the nation's greatest dancers, including Vince Mendoza, Nemesis, Klockwise, and Lema Diaz.

International and Filipino dancers will trade moves, engage in impromptu freestyle exchanges, and discuss skills developed over years on the international fight circuit throughout the course of several sessions and cyphers.

An open invitation to the community will also be included in the conversation. International artists Nonoy, MT Pop, D-Soraki, and Chrissy Chou will participate in regional dance competitions and conduct free seminars for any street dancers looking to advance their skills. Participants who are interested should keep an eye out for Red Bull Philippines' official announcement of specifics on their website and social media platforms.

The visiting freestylers will also share their own experiences and perspectives that have molded their trajectory from local cyphers to international acclaim during these seminars. They will dissect freestyle strategy, musicality, and the nuanced choices that can turn a single dance floor moment into a successful round.

“I’m excited for these icons to experience the energy of the Filipino dance community. We are a warm and welcoming community, and I know our people are excited to connect with them through dance and movement. I’ve seen these icons perform live, and I can’t wait for our community to witness that same experience. It’s inspiring to learn not only their techniques, but also their work ethic, mindset, and foundations. After all, they are among the best in the world. Exchanges like these are exactly what we need; not just for exposure, but to build genuine relationships with dancers around the world. The Philippines is home to so many skilled dancers, and this tour allows us to showcase that talent on an international stage. We’re truly grateful to Red Bull for making this possible.” ~Nemesis, Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines 2025 National Champion

In the center of Manila's vibrant street dance scene, the workshops will provide both longstanding fans and aspiring dancers with a unique chance to learn straight from some of freestyle's most renowned artists.

Nemesis feels that studying from these seasoned international dancers, who possess extensive experience and knowledge, will encourage workshop participants to advance and elevate their standards in dance, even though each dancer contributes a distinct viewpoint to their craft.

Aspiring Filipino dancers will use the Manila floor as a testing ground. Participants in the workshop will learn how to quickly adjust, change styles, alter rhythms, and perform moves that engage the audience in real time.

“Street dance culture is a culture of sharing, connection, and inspiring one another. It's a very positive thing when local dancers get the chance to meet, share, and connect with international dancers. One day, they can also go out of their country and travel around as ‘international dancers. I will share my strengths and perspectives, and how I train and experience, hoping that these can help other dancers improve and grow in their own unique way of dancing. From what I know, dancers in the Philippines are raw, incredibly passionate, energetic, and full of dance spirit. I hope people won't spend too much energy chasing votes or focusing on outside factors. Instead, I hope they will focus more on themselves—‘Dance your style. Sometimes, shining on stage doesn't come only from practice. It also comes from confidence and from genuinely enjoying the time you have while you're up there.’” ~MT Pop, Red Bull Dance Your Style 2024 World Champion

He clarified that mastering technique is only one aspect of dancing. It's also important to comprehend the way of life that underpins the dance, including how people see and experience it, as well as how it's practiced locally as part of their culture. The World Champion expressed excitement for the tour's arrival in Manila.

The tour is anticipated to be a challenge as well as an inspiration for the local community. It will be a chance to compare their inventiveness to the greatest in the world while advancing culture as a whole.

The Road to the National Finals

The Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Finals, where the best freestyle dancers in the nation will battle for the opportunity to represent the Philippines in the World Finals in Zurich, Switzerland, will be directly impacted by the tour's momentum.

Red Bull Dance Your Style gives the public complete control, in contrast to conventional dance competitions that are judged by a panel. Dancers must win over the audience with unquestionable stage presence, pure musicality, and freestyle expertise, whether they are performing hip-hop, house, locking, or popping.

Fueling the dancers and fans throughout the tour stop, Army Navy, Hertz, and Mophie will join the event as partners, keeping the energy high as the community gathers for the Finals.

BestPerfume.Store launches its operations in the Philippines

Today, BestPerfume.Store announced the opening of its operations in the Philippines, providing customers there with fragrance formulas tailored to tropical climates. Since its introduction in 2022, the brand has received over 3,200 5-star evaluations. It places a strong emphasis on high-performance fragrance concentrations, local operational assistance, and a 100% lifetime guarantee and satisfaction.

Perfume reliability is impacted by extended workdays, outside errands, and commutes in tropical regions like the Philippines. Due to the accelerated evaporation caused by high temperatures, smells first project strongly before dissipating sooner than anticipated. Longevity in humidity is one of the most crucial aspects of scent performance since Filipinos choose and use perfumes differently because they don't last all day.

(From left): BestPerfume.Store Customer Support & HR Head Vhina May Dacquil, Country Retail Manager Katherine Ganiron, Marketing & PR Head Angeliz Gadian, Founder Josh Frost, Regional Operations & Logistics Manager Nayli Wirdani, Videographer & Editor Jafri Hilmi, Philippines Operations Manager Jay Lee, and Retail Sales & Trainer Benyamin Jaafar

Best Perfume has produced formulations designed specifically to withstand heat and humidity in order to meet this need in the Philippine market and provide a perfume that lasts all day. The 50% concentrate formulation in each 100 ml perfume bottle from BestPerfume.Store is far greater than the usual industry standards of 4–15%. This guarantees that scents stay visible on skin for extended periods of time, promoting projection and duration without requiring regular reapplication.

By establishing a manufacturing warehouse in the Philippines, the brand has strengthened its local presence and made sure that every step, from production to final delivery, is rigorously supervised and held to the highest standards of quality. A customer-first mentality supported by proactive service characterized by hassle-free solutions, timely replacements, and attentive customer support lies at the heart of the company. This demonstrates BestPerfume.Store's steadfast dedication to its Filipino clientele while upholding the same standards that helped establish its reputation in Singapore.

“I definitely see the love for perfumes in the Philippines and want to bring true quality here. I know the people will appreciate the original sources and performance improvements with a trusted brand. We heavily invested into legislation, compliance, local production and fulfilment to bring faster deliveries, safety, and support here too." ~Josh Frost, BestPerfume.Store's Founder

BestPerfume.Store Founder Josh Frost

Best Perfume can accommodate a wide range of tastes, moods, and events thanks to its inventory of over 300 perfume profiles. The brand's belief that fragrance should be personal regardless of the setting is reflected in its vast assortment.

With a track record of high-performance formulae, strict quality control, and customer-first service, Best Perfume stands out in the growing need for fragrances that can tolerate humidity without compromising aroma quality. 

BestPerfume.Store guarantees that a long-lasting, dependable fragrance is more than just a promise—it's a standard created for tropical living, supported by a brand you can rely on and easily turn to by delivering the same concentration strength, tested dependability, and second-to-none standards to the Philippines.

“Sensitive skin is more common than many people think, yet access to expert skincare guidance isn’t always easy. Derm On Tour is our way of bringing dermatological expertise closer to Filipino communities—so people can better understand their skin and make informed decisions about skincare.” ~Mark Joseph Sarmiento, Cetaphil Business Unit Head

“When you’re constantly on the go, your skin goes through a lot. Learning from my derma about how to defend and repair the skin barrier really changed how I approach my skincare routine.” ~Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 2018

Donny Pangilinan, Hannah Pangilinan, and Atasha Muhlach were among the younger ambassadors that urged young Filipinos to look past internet skincare fads and seek professional guidance when it comes to skin care.

Meanwhile, Cetaphil Baby Ambassadors Nico Bolzico, Jess Wilson, Andi Manzano, and Laura Lehmann shared their own parenting experiences and the learning curve that comes with caring for delicate baby skin. 

“Once you realize how delicate baby skin really is, you become much more mindful about the products you use. Having access to expert advice really helps you make better decisions for your child.” ~Andi Manzano, Cetaphil Baby Ambassador

Cassy Legaspi and Kaila Estrada, who recently joined the Cetaphil family as ambassadors, wish to encourage others to pay attention to their skin and choose mild, scientifically proven treatments.
