If you’ve ever heard a haunting chant echo through a battlefield or felt the weight of a choice that isn’t as simple as good or evil, then you already know—the Path has a way of calling you back.

And if you haven’t stepped into that world just yet, consider this your invitation.

With less than two weeks to go, The Witcher in Concert is set to take over Manila for a one-night-only performance. It’s happening on March 28, 2026 at The Theatre at Solaire—bringing with it not just the music of a beloved RPG, but a full-on return to the Continent.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the concert transforms one of gaming’s most iconic soundtracks into a live experience. Expect performances from selected musicians of the Filharmonika Orchestra alongside Percival Schuttenbach—the Polish folk-metal band whose distinct sound helped define the game’s identity. Paired with in-game visuals, it’s a show designed to feel both nostalgic and entirely new.

As the night draws closer, here are three things fans can look forward to:

Relics from the Continent: official merchandise

For those who want to take a piece of the experience home, exclusive event merchandise will be available in limited quantities.

This includes the following:

• Event Tee (PhP2,200)
• Geralt Long Sleeve (PhP3,400)
• Event Hoodie (PhP4,200)
• Beanie (PhP1,800)

• Key chain (PhP1,400)
• Enamel pin set (PhP1,400)
• Event magnet (PhP800)
• Geralt gaming mouse pad (PhP2,000)

It’s the kind of loot drop fans won’t want to miss.

The path to Solaire: getting there made easier

Getting to the venue is part of the journey—and this time, it’s a little easier. Attendees can use the Grab code FCPH2026 to get 20% off rides (up to PhP75). With the condition of a minimum fare of PhP250. The promo is valid for two rides per user and applies to trips to and from Solaire Entertainment City.

A rare encounter: meet Percival Schuttenbach

For a handful of lucky fans, the experience goes beyond the stage. Ten winners will get the chance to meet Percival Schuttenbach and receive an autographed CD.

To join, ticket holders need to share any official The Witcher in Concert post on their Instagram Story. They need to write what they’re most excited to hear live and tag @filmconcerts.ph. They need to submit their entry before March 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Winners will be announced on March 25.

Answer the call

As the Continent arrives in Manila, fans are encouraged to lean all the way in—whether that means coming in cosplay as a monster hunter, mage, bard, or something far more dangerous.

Tickets are available via TicketWorld and participating outlets nationwide.

The Path is open. The question is—will you answer the call?

Performance-focused X Pro series

The POCO X8 Pro Series marks the brand’s shift from the traditional X Series to the new X Pro Series, designed to deliver flagship-level performance and endurance at competitive price points.

Leading the lineup is the POCO X8 Pro Max, which globally debuts with the Dimensity 9500s flagship chipset built on a 3nm process. The chip features a 4+4 all-big-core CPU design with clock speeds up to 3.73GHz, delivering an AnTuTu score of more than 3 million.

The POCO X8 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 8500-Ultra mobile platform, offering improved GPU performance and greater power efficiency compared to its predecessor.

Both phones also support hardware-level ray tracing and POCO’s WildBoost Optimization, which helps maintain smoother frame rates and reduce power consumption during intensive gaming.

Large batteries and fast charging

Battery capacity is another highlight of the lineup.

The POCO X8 Pro Max features an 8,500mAh battery, the largest ever used in a POCO smartphone, which the company says can deliver up to two days of battery life on a single charge.

Meanwhile, the POCO X8 Pro uses a 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery designed to offer strong endurance while keeping the device relatively compact.

Both devices support 100W HyperCharge as well as 27W reverse charging, allowing users to charge other devices when needed.

Displays, cameras, and software

The POCO X8 Pro Max features a 6.83-inch display, while the POCO X8 Pro has a 6.59-inch panel. Both screens can reach up to 3,500 nits peak brightness for improved outdoor visibility.

On the camera side, both devices feature a 50MP main camera and a 20MP front camera. The Pro Max uses the Light Fusion 600 sensor, while the standard model uses a Sony IMX882 sensor.

The phones run on Xiaomi HyperOS 3, with features such as Xiaomi HyperConnect, HyperIsland, Google Gemini, and Circle to Search integrated into the system.

POCO is also continuing its collaboration with Marvel through the POCO X8 Pro – Iron Man Edition, which features a black-and-gold design inspired by Tony Stark’s armor along with a customized Iron Man-themed interface.

DJI has officially introduced the Inspire 3 Basic Package, a streamlined kit designed to lower the barrier of entry for professional aerial cinematography.

Since its debut in 2023, the Inspire 3 has established itself as the primary choice for studio film and television productions.

This new package provides a cost-effective path for independent filmmakers to integrate 8K aerial imaging into their workflow or for production houses to scale their existing fleet.

Cinema-grade performance in a portable form factor

The Inspire 3 remains a revolutionary all-in-one drone, built to handle the rigorous demands of high-end sets.

At the core of the package is the Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera, which features dual native ISO and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.

These specifications translate to high-fidelity footage that retains authentic colors and accurate skin tones, even when filming in challenging urban environments or varying lighting conditions.

By utilizing the DJI Cinema Color System (DCCS) and the O3 Pro transmission system, the drone acts as a reliable partner in movement, ensuring that technical performance supports the creative vision without the need for overly complex setups.

Essential tools for modern production

The Basic Package is curated to include the core hardware necessary for professional use while allowing for modular expansion. The kit features:

• The Inspire 3 Aircraft and Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera
• Four TB51 Intelligent Batteries to support extended shooting schedules
• Specialized storage solutions, including the Inspire 3 Trolley Case and Gimbal Camera Case

Filmmakers who require the full ecosystem can still purchase key peripherals separately, such as the RC Plus remote controller, allowing the gear to grow alongside their specific project needs.

Price, availability

The DJI Inspire 3 Basic Package is available starting today through authorized retailers and the official DJI store. The package retails for PhP 615,049.

This release reinforces the philosophy that while technology provides the tools, the focus remains on the life and stories captured through the lens.
