MARAMING kaabang-abang na projects ang ibinalita nina Ice Seguerra at Liza Dino sa launching ng Fire and Ice Entertainment na ginanap sa Noctos Music Bar last February 5.
Isa itong expanded creative ecosystem, ng mga aabangang concerts, bagong music releases, original films at series, at theatre productions para sa kabuuang taon ng 2026.
Sa naturang media launch, nagsama-sama ang artists, industry partners, members of the press, at cultural stakeholders as Fire and Ice Entertainment introduced five distinct yet interconnected brands: Fire and Ice LIVE!; Fire and Ice Music; Fire and Ice Studios; Fire and Ice Media; at Fire and Ice Consultancy.
Magkakasama, ang mga ito ay bumubuo ng integrated artist-led platforms na kinabibilangan ng live events, music, theatre, film, series development, at cultural consultancy – na nagpapakita ng mahalagang paglaki mula sa project-based production, tungo sa isang fully integrated creative ecosystem.
Higit pa sa isang company launch, ito ay naglalagay sa Fire and Ice Entertainment bilang isang long-term creative home para sa mga artists na may pagpapahalaga sa sustainability, authorship, at collaboration over one-off projects.
“Fire and Ice Entertainment was built on the belief that artists and ideas deserve long-term support, —not just one-off projects,” pahayag ni Liza Diño, Chief Executive Officer ng Fire and Ice Entertainment.
Aniya pa, “By formally launching these five brands, we are putting structure behind a vision that allows creativity to thrive across live performance, music, screen, theatre, and cultural development while contributing meaningfully to the growth of the Philippine creative industry.”

Fire and Ice Consultancy: Creative Strategy and Cultural Development
Ang kumokompleto sa ecosystem ay ang Fire and Ice Consultancy, ang propesyonal na advisory arm ng kompanya na naka-focus sa kultural, paglikha, at strategic na pagkonsulta.
Bahagi ng panimulang inisyatibo ang suporta para sa UNESCO Creative City applications, pati na ang pakikilahok sa pagpapaunlad sa QCinema Industry 2026, na nagpapalawig sa Fire and Ice Entertainment’s impact beyond production into policy and cultural planning.
Fire and Ice Entertainment bilang isang Multi-Platform Creative Group, “At the heart of Fire and Ice is the artist. Everything we announced today—concerts, music releases, films, theatre productions—comes from a desire to create work that is honest, intentional, and deeply collaborative,” wika ni Ice Seguerra, Fire and Ice Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer. “This ecosystem allows artists to tell their stories across different platforms without losing their voice,” dagdag pa niya.
Sa opisyal na paglulunsad ng limang brands nito, ang Fire and Ice Entertainment ay ipinosisyon ang kompanya sa intersection of creativity, commerce, at culture, na nag-aalok ng integrated model na sumusuporta sa mga artists, develops original intellectual property, at nag-aambag para sa long-term na paglago ng Philippine creative industries.
Ang iba pang pag-anunsiyo ng kanilang mga proyekto, partnerships, at international developments ay dapat asahan sa kabuuan ng taon.
