  • THE PUSH ISSUE

    Playing with Fire: ‘Some Nights I Feel Like Walking’ on the Art of Being and Becoming

    As the noise shifts from the chaos of day commuters to the rustles of night owls, Manila, then until now, lives through stories—both of the loud and the unspoken. The bustling streets of this city stood as the realm of Petersen Vargas as he let queer experiences bleed through "Some Nights I Feel Like Walking", a film that visits the city’s darkest corners, frantic passersby, and shadowed stories.

    Crowning Glory: Let the Divine Divas Show You How to Mother a Movement

    Legacy isn’t just what you leave behind. Sometimes, it’s what you pour into others, night after night, lash after lash. At Rampa, one year since its triumphant creation, the Divine Divas are passing the mic, the stage, and the spotlight to a new generation of baby drag queens; ready, willing, and rhinestoned for the revolution.

  • THE HOT DAMN! ISSUE

    A Golden Streak: The Education of Emilio Daez

    Treading his path to prominence from social media favorite—having been anointed by a phalanx of supporters as “golden retriever” in a sea of Internet Boyfriends—young corporate professional-turned-aspiring actor, Emilio Daez, talks about his recent and very noticeable golden streak. Hot on the heels of a brief stint on the two-decade-old pop culture juggernaut, Pinoy Big Brother, following his first few jabs at acting on primetime television, Daez flexes that boyish charm, rolls up his sleeves, and dips his toes into uncharted waters, armed only with a passion and growing familiarity with an industry so far removed from the world of numbers and structure he has long been immersed in.

    The Unbreakable Nadine Lustre: A Declaration of Independence

    From her early days as a wide-eyed aspirant to her whirlwind romance with national fame, and now in her continuing reign as entertainment and pop culture royalty, there remains to be an incontestable fact that Nadine Lustre is an indomitable force and she is showing no signs of slowing down. An award-winning actress, a musician, a sold-out concert performer, creative visionary and entrepreneur, fashion icon, and even a fan-anointed figure head, while cognizant to the attendant boon, curse, and responsibility of her ascent to the pantheon of entertainment greats, editor Leo Balante writes, heavy is the head that wears the crown, but Nadine Lustre has declared herself completely free from edicts on her person other than hers, and has mastered—no, lived and breathed—the art of being Nadine Lustre.

  • Review: ‘Mula sa Buwan’ is a Glorious Theatrical Marvel that Needs to Be Seen, Heard, and Felt—Now More than ever

    For what it is and what it represents, “Mula sa Buwan” , in all its splendor and jaw-dropping glory, transcends its very description of a “story of love and defiance”. It is not merely a story of love and loss, but a deep well of narratives that question 'what is' and shows us 'what could be' if all the man-made and socially constructed concepts on which the edifices of judgment and othering are built do not exist. In all its grandiosity and surrounding fan-clamor, “Mula sa Buwan” goes beyond a celebration of the return of theater. It is a declaration and a reminder of the strength and power of the human spirit.

His trajectory from fitness instructor, commercial model, marketing professional, and even a podcast creator who talks eloquently of his views on a wide breadth of interests from great reads, climate change, down to how the weather could affect our mood and our cognition, is one that is marked not by chance but by smarts, passion, and a heart to create meaningful dialogues.
