Aramex's ‘Share The Light' collects more than 17m views in first nine days
Titled 'Between Two Alleys' the campaign's hero film hopes to share a poignant message of finding unity amidst diversity.
Set in a timeless Middle Eastern city, the video follows two elderly neighbors, each preparing to welcome Ramadan by stringing up festive lights in their adjoining alleys. However, from the first seconds a rivalry becomes clear and starts building up. As the lights intertwine, so do their stories. The two men compete over who does a better job in decorating their respective alleys. As the competition reaches its climax, the two realise that what they both worked towards the same goal; a beautifully decorated neighborhood, that benefits the entire community. It is then gently revealed that they belong to different faiths, yet celebrate the shared traditions of the season together.
'Ramadan carries a message that transcends borders; a message of peace, reassurance, and hope. At Aramex, our purpose goes beyond logistics; we are committed to 'Delivering Good' and strengthening the communities we serve,' said Mike Rich, Group CMO at Aramex. 'The overwhelming response to 'Share the Light' reaffirms the power of simple, meaningful gestures in bringing people together. We are delighted that once again our attempt to bring people together during a special time of the year has been warmly embraced by the communities we serve.'
Rooted in a time-honoured tradition, symbolising the joy and gratitude experienced during the Holy Month, the campaign underscores Aramex's belief that the Holy Month is a time for bridging differences, fostering togetherness, and illuminating the world with acts of goodwill.
The whimsical campaign was conceptualised in-house by Aramex's creative team.
Shahir Sirry, Global Creative Director at Aramex, and director of the film said: 'Every day, Aramex connects hundreds of thousands of people across the globe, bringing them closer through its delivery services. With this Ramadan campaign, we wanted to inspire people to bridge what can feel like a million-mile distance of cultural and religious differences — even when they live just down the street from each other.'
Audience sentiment around the 'Share The Light' ad spot has been overwhelmingly positive with users commenting, 'Amazing!!' and more. The film was shared across Aramex's social media accounts on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook on 28 February, 2025.

Kris Aquino Shares Struggles with Pain Amid Rainy Days and Ongoing Health Battle
TV host and actress Kris Aquino opened up about her worsening physical condition, particularly the severe bone pain she experiences during rainy weather—one of the many symptoms tied to her over 10 autoimmune diseases. Through a Q&A session with followers on Instagram, Kris candidly shared that she's been feeling sad lately, especially with the upcoming 16th death anniversary of her mother, former President Cory Aquino. She expressed sorrow knowing her mother might be witnessing her suffer from both physical and emotional pain. Despite this, Kris remains proud of her son Joshua, who she describes as sweet and affectionate. She thanked close friends and family, including her sister Viel and former senator Nancy Binay's sister Anne, for helping take care of Josh while she's far away. She also noted that the fresh sea breeze has helped improve her breathing and stabilize her blood pressure—an important benefit given her low blood condition. However, Kris admitted that the rainy weather intensifies her pain. She even drew a sentimental comparison, recalling how her mother once said she was the 'female Ninoy,' and now sees her youngest son, Bimby, as the version Cory truly deserved. Responding to a fan's well-wishes, Kris said she experiences both good and bad days, but is thankful to have Bimby by her side during the worst ones. She also clarified that she has never had cancer, addressing rumors triggered by her PET scan earlier this year. The scan, she explained, was meant to monitor lung damage from her autoimmune condition and long COVID, not cancer.

Kylie Verzosa acquires villa in Italy with friends
Beauty queen-turned-actress Kylie Verzosa has acquired a property in Italy with her friends. Verzosa revealed the purchase through an Instagram Story post, sharing photos of the newly acquired house located in Puglia, a region in southern Italy. 'Bought a house in Italy… She's finally ours,' she wrote, referring to the property named Villa Sogno or 'dream villa.' The villa, designed in traditional Puglian architectural style, features a stone façade, a central courtyard, landscaped gardens, and a turquoise pool. Its interiors blend rustic and modern elements, including arched windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings, a wooden farmhouse table, wicker chairs, and a four-poster bed with a copper bathtub. One of Verzosa's co-owners, Danish musician Tomas Barfod, gave a closer look at the property through photos on his Instagram page. The acquisition follows Verzosa's business debut last year, when she launched her shapewear clothing line.
