TNT wins gold at 2026 SMARTIES Philippines awards

TNT , Smart Communications’ value brand, took home the Philippines’ Creator/Influencer/Celebrity Marketing gold at the 2026 SMARTIES Philippines awards for a campaign that put paranormal expert Ed Caluag inside a haunted house, where the signal kept breaking. Smart’s marketing services operations VP Raymond Anthony T. Samarista and representatives from WPP Media Philippines took the trophy, alongside SMARTIES juror Paul Debaprateem of Sodexo Philippines. MMA’s SMARTIES program rewards campaigns for measurable business impact, and entries are grouped under four marketing channels. The spot first ran in February 2026, with creative from Ace Saatchi & Saatchi and media planning handled by Wavemaker Philippines — WPP Media. Caluag streams an investigation of an old house, and every time a ghost appears the feed stutters.

Riot Games to shutdown League of Legends Classic in January 2027

Riot Games will shut down League of Legends Classic in early January 2027, the company announced in a blog post. The throwback mode launched in July but lost players quickly. Many returned to other parts of League, Riot said. Before the shutdown, Riot will add windowed queues in regions with long wait times and keep adding champions through 2026 patches. Riot plans to bring Classic back later, likely as a limited-time event shaped by player feedback. The mode was promoted with a live match featuring ten retired pros at this summer’s Mid-Season Invitational. Unlike Blizzard’s successful World of Warcraft Classic, Riot’s version failed to keep players interested long term. This article, Riot Games to shutdown League of Legends Classic in January 2027 , was originally published at NoypiGeeks | Philippines Technology News, Reviews and How to's.
