  • THE NEW ORDER ISSUE

    New Sound, New Heights: Jenzen Guino Strikes the Right Chord

    With musical sensibilities deeply rooted in and shaped by his household, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Jenzen Guino’s sonic orbit grew from a virtual platform fueled by his covers of anthems from icons of generations past, then with originals woven through narratives straight from lived experiences of his own and the people surrounding him. Now, with a string of recent releases backed by a new label and artistic home, he harnesses his inherent flair for telling stories through heartfelt hymns and catchy melodies, along with lyricism that’s reflective of his youth and with it, his universe of truth. Five years into the game, Guino marks himself ready for take off and onto higher ground with a crescendo of new pursuits from upcoming new hits and a promise to shift gears and take his artistry to new, greater heights.

    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.

    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.

    Stream of Consciousness:
    Charting the Sonic Orbit of eaJ

    Solutions Not Survival Stories: Resilience Isn’t a Compliment When It’s Just Desperation Wearing a Brave Face

    Every flooded home is not just a tragedy, it’s a receipt and a tangible proof of systemic neglect. They call it resilience, but often, it’s just desperation wearing a brave face. Survival isn’t bravery when the system sets you up to drown. When communities are left to fight for their lives, the real headline shouldn't be their strength but it should be the silence and absence of those in power long before the first drop of rain. Stop praising people for surviving what they were never meant to endure. It’s not a miracle that we made it, it’s a disgrace that we had to.
