The film is part of Netflix’s diverse new lineup of 15 Filipino films, which include VIVA Films’ Once Before (Hindi Tayo Pwede) among others, available on the world’s leading streaming entertainment service in August and September.
“It is an honor having our film be included as a Netflix Original and be shown across Asia. It is a huge opportunity not just for me but also for every Filipino filmmaker to continue creating quality films that can be shown to the world and that every Filipino can be proud of,” the director said.
Love The Way U Lie is available on Netflix on August 20.

On October 1, 1989, seven extraordinary humans were born. On July 31, 2020, they return.
Featured in the trailer is an original song from Gerard Way, entitled “Here Comes The End”. On writing the song: “I was originally inspired to write this track when series one of The Umbrella Academy was being shot; by the time I finished it 2020 was in full swing, the world had taken a profound turn and the song was finished in a surreal new reality.”
Season 2 Synopsis:
Five warned his family (so, so many times) that using his powers to escape from Vanya’s 2019 apocalypse was risky. Well, he was right – the time jump scatters the siblings in time in and around Dallas, Texas. Over a three year period. Starting in 1960. Some, having been stuck in the past for years, have built lives and moved on, certain they’re the only ones who survived. Five is the last to land, smack dab in the middle of a nuclear doomsday, which – spoiler alert! – turns out is a result of the group’s disruption of the timeline (déjà vu, anyone?). Now the Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused doomsday, put a stop to it, and return to the present timeline to stop that other apocalypse. All while being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins. But seriously, no pressure or anything.
Series Synopsis:
On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. Now, the six surviving members reunite upon the news of their father’s passing and must work together to solve a mystery surrounding his death. But the estranged family begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse. The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book series created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The show is produced by Universal Content Productions for Netflix, with Steve Blackman serving as executive producer and showrunner, and additional EPs Jeff F. King, Mike Richardson, Keith Goldberg, Gerard Way, and Gabriel Bá.

Taiwan mounts a smart fight versus both the pandemic and boredom.
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people took precautionary measures whenever they go out. However, many opted to spend more time at home to avoid contracting the deadly virus. During times like these, home fitness and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) endeavors are two of the best forms of activities that families to do together. These activities not only help people to stay physically active and improve their immunity but also add fun and excitement to life at home.
“Taiwan is a shining example of how to successfully contain COVID-19. Such success is undoubtedly attributed to the cooperation of all citizens and industries, and the effective execution of stay-at-home self-isolation measures. We are more than happy to share how Taiwan implements stay-at-home self-isolation best practices to the rest of the world and engage in any international cooperation that can benefit other nations.” said Taiwan’s Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) Deputy Director General Guann-Jyh Lee.
In addition to home workouts even without the use of equipment, exercise equipment can also be used to increase training intensity and enjoyment. Doctors also recommend that when people exercise at home, they should pay attention to ventilation in their exercise space. Other advice includes making sure to stay warm after sweating and stay hydrated by drinking water to maintain better health and fend off disease.
During a virtual press conference with the media held recently, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) Executive Vice President Simon Wang also noted that they broke spatial limitations during the press conference. Part of the conference took place at individual brand headquarters to provide a feeling that event attendees actually visited the companies in person.
Taiwan Excellence, which represents the “best of the best” of everything made in Taiwan, has selected three award-winning companies – Strength Master, Victory, and the AROFLY – to demonstrate the latest home exercise trends in terms of cardiopulmonary, muscle strength, and intelligence benefits.
The cardiopulmonary function is fundamental to good health. Strength Master’s cycle boxer has an entire set of built-in interactive boxing games that can simultaneously train brain response and improve cardiopulmonary function. This adds more fun to boxing alone! Muscle strength training not only improves your physique but also helps increase immunity.
Victory, on the other hand, invited 2008 Olympics Weightlifting silver medal winner Ying-Chi Lu to do weight training on Victory’s shock-absorbing mat. This mat significantly reduces 37% of the vibration and 26% of the noise while lifting barbells. So, no need to worry about bothering the children or neighbors while doing weight training at home.
And what if you love cycling but cannot go out due to the lockdown in your country? The AROFLY used smart technology to move cycling into the home. Power analysis is used to display cadence, speed, and heart rate so that anyone can train on their bike smartly at home and also burn fat effectively.
To fight boredom, home fitness is not the only option. Therapeutic craftwork and parent-child interaction are also trending upwards. According to domestic e-commerce vendors, the global pandemic has increased the sales of home living products by about 20%.
Doing DIY activities together can bring parents and kids closer to each other as well as making the home a happier and brighter place. and Taiwan Excellence has many companies fit for this purpose. For example, suction cup hooks in colorful macaroon colors from FECA, a patented vacuum technology made in Taiwan, can safely and easily change the look of the kitchen or bathroom, even moods, without the use of drills or nails. Also, teach children the importance of storage by using the VAGO vacuum compressor to minimize the size of all winter clothing. During the weekends, CSPS’s multi-function adjustable height roasting oven offers great help for home BBQ events, a great way to celebrate Taiwan’s zero new coronavirus cases!
Taiwan Excellence is collaborating with these six major brands to showcase to the world the growing “stay-at-home economy” by using intelligence and creativity. Taiwan’s products have demonstrated their cutting-edge qualities in this global fight against the pandemic and have helped people create a better home life even in trying and difficult circumstances. Let Taiwan Excellence be the best teammate one can have in smart home disease prevention and the fight against boredom!
