  • 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.

  • THE TAKEOVER ISSUE

    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.

    COVER STORY
  • 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 BREAKTHROUGH ISSUE

    Stream of Consciousness:
    Charting the Sonic Orbit of eaJ

    Looking at his evolution, just a couple of years young into a solo career after a departure from his previous band, growing a following on his YouTube and Twitch streams, then ultimately casting a wide net of followers with close to a million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, pocketing hits like “Car Crash” and “pacman”, it goes without saying that eaJ’s musical journey is a product of self-discovery.

    COVER STORY
  • THE NEW AGENDA ISSUE

    The Third Act:
    An Introduction to BGYO

    Armed with their irresistible charm, backed by commitment and undeniable talent, BGYO is poised to step into their third act, in hot pursuit of captivate bigger audiences and leaving an indelible mark on the vast continuously evolving terrain of Philippine pop music.
