  • THE NEW AGENDA ISSUE

    The Big Bang and then Some: ‘The Secrets of Hotel 88’ and the Theory of Evolution

    When the doors of Pinoy Big Brother closed on the Celebrity Collab Edition, what remained wasn’t just a set of former housemates ready to collect checks for their next project. What emerged was a batch that redefined how Filipino audiences relate to celebrity. After capturing fleets of adoring fans, banking on unfiltered vulnerability, the stars of the historic edition face their biggest challenge yet: scripted drama. In "The Secrets of Hotel 88," they must prove they can transform into characters while keeping the authenticity that made them stars. Will they rise to the occasion, or will the demands of showbiz change them forever?

    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 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.

    ‘Gets Ko Na’: Reflections on How ‘Sunshine’ Bares a Debate on Sex and Morality—and What it’s Like to be a Woman in 2025

    With Maris Racal in the titular role, Antoinette Jadaone's "Sunshine" narrates the struggles of facing teenage pregnancy and paints a gritty, portrait of today's state of reproductive health in the Philippines—in its most raw, modern, visceral form. As it delves into the hardships of women in times of danger and personal crisis, the movie transforms into something even more wide-reaching that roots back to the inadequate support and importance to women's health, body autonomy—and her most basic right to be human.

    A Question and a Lesson on How ‘Real’ is ‘Too Real’, and the Cost of ‘Saying it Anyway’

    Candid is in, but care should never be out. When culture is the plate being passed around, the least we can do is taste it with humility. In the age of livestreamed slip-ups and snack-sized scandal, being real is currency but forgetting who's watching can cost more. Not every truth needs a timestamp, and not every bite needs to go viral. Because sometimes, it’s not what you say, but what you silence when you say it loud.
