  • 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?

  • 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.
