    Making the Cut: John Lozano on the Space Between ‘What Was’ and ‘What’s Next’

    For more than two decades, John Lozano’s career has moved between styling, theater, marketing, events, branding, and fashion. None of it, he says, was ever exactly part of the plan. Yet each unexpected turn eventually led him back to the same place: fashion. Now, as MNL Fashion Week returns for its second run, he finds himself with an unrelenting vision to give Filipino designers a platform to tell their stories, bring fashion closer to a wider audience, and make the industry dream again.

    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?

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

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.

    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.
