<i>Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs. Zombies</i> 2017 Filipino film

Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs. Zombies is a 2017 Filipino zombie comedy film directed by Mark A. Reyes, starring Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros. It is a spin-off film of the Kalyeserye segment of Eat Bulaga!, a Philippine variety show. The film's name is a play on the title of the 2016 South Korean film Train to Busan and the 2009 tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. It is under the production of M-Zet Productions, to be part of APT Entertainment, and was released in Philippine cinemas on November 22, 2017. The movie was distributed by GMA Network.

"Tamang Panahon" was a benefit concert and a special episode of Eat Bulaga!, as well as the 87th episode of its "Kalyeserye" portion that aired live on television in the Philippines and other countries on October 24, 2015 from the Philippine Arena. "Tamang Panahon" highlighted the no-restrictions meeting of the AlDub love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza. The event experienced very high demand immediately after the concert's announcement, with ticket sales amounting to ₱14 million. All of the proceeds went to the construction of libraries that benefited schools in the Philippines and the Lumad.

Juan Emilio Enriquez Ejercito, professionally known as Jake Ejercito, is a Filipino actor and model. He is the son of former actor and Philippine President Joseph Estrada and a half-brother to Jinggoy Estrada and JV Ejercito who are both presently Senators of the Philippines.
