Strike Back kicks off 6th season on Cinemax

The action-packed Cinemax drama series Strike Back kicked off its sixth season same time as the U.S. last Saturday, Jan. 26 at 11:00 a.m. with a same encore at 10:00 p.m. on HBO GO and CINEMAX. Shot entirely in Malaysia, the new season features returning stars Warren Brown (Luther, The Dark Knight Rises), Daniel MacPherson (A Wrinkle in Time) and Alin Sumarwata (Neighbours, Burning Man), along with new cast members Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica, Monday Mornings) and Yasemin Allen (Water and Fire).

When a Russian bomber crashes in the South China Sea, the covert special-ops soldiers of Section 20 — Thomas “Mac” McAllister (Warren Brown), Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson) and Gracie Novin (Alin Sumarwata) — are sent to investigate. There, they cross paths with Katrina Zarkova (Yasemin Allen), a rogue Russian operative with questionable loyalties.

Under orders from the new commanding officer, Col. Alexander Coltrane (Jamie Bamber), Section 20 pursues stolen contents of the Russian jet across Southeast Asia. They will work alongside the Malaysian police to shut down a Triad gang in Kuala Lumpur, uncover a corrupt plot by a wealthy Indian businesswoman running for Parliament and plunge into the jungles of the Golden Triangle in Myanmar, facing off against mercenary drug agents and terrifying warlords as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to push the world to the brink of global conflict.

More duty free stores in 2019

Duty Free Philippines Corporation (DFPC) Chief Operating Officer Vicente Pelagio Angala on Wednesday announced the agency’s plan to open new stores at the international airports of Puerto Princesa, Palawan and Panglao, Bohol this year.

With this expansion, the state-owned retail company is moving to achieving its target of 15 percent of the international traveller by 2027.

 “We are in coordination with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and definitely it will happen this year,” said Angala.

Speaking to media men, he also revealed that DFPC’s total sales reached $217 million in 2018, a two percent growth from 2017. 

Filipino tourists, Balikbayan’s and OFWs remain the DFPC’s top source market with $59.9 million total of transactions, followed by the Americans ($4.9 million), Chinese ($1.5 million), and Canadians ($1.1 million).

The top five best-selling categories are confectionary, liquors and spirits, perfume and cosmetics, fashion, and supermarket.

“One of the factors that contributed to this growth is our partnerships with third-party online payments solutions such as Alipay and WeChat,” said Angala.

“Our collaboration also with the Department of Trade and Industry’s Go Lokal program has steadily grown to this day and we expected to continue to grow in the coming years,” he added.

In line with the thrust of Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat to promote proudly Pinoy-made products, DFPC in close coordination with the Department of Tourism in adding homegrown products thru the Philippines’ Finest Kiosk.

These plans and programs bode well for the DFPC’s higher target of $220 million for 2019.
