  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • The ‘Baklang Parlorista’, the ‘Salot’, and Making the ‘Bida’ in the Flight of Zsazsa Zaturnnah

    On representation, Phi Palmos, who plays the role of Ada in Ateneo Blue Repertory's sold-out staging of Carlo Vergara's iconic superheroine 'Zsazsa Zaturnnah', stands firm on the notion that there's something intrinsically wrong when people call to 'break the stereotypes' when they refer to the queer community being represented in media because more often than not, they refer to and look the loud, effeminate, 'baklang parlorista' stereotype, as if this is a wrong representation of the LGBTQIA+ community. While he makes the case that it rings true that this should not be the only way to represent queerness, it is a "lazy advocacy" for representation when they say this and fail to recognize the realities and truths anchored on these stereotypes, thereby inadvertently erasing the existence and lives of those who are loud, flamboyant, and effeminate. To which, he points out, "Instead of saying 'break the stereotypes', why don't we 'humanize the stereotypes' and not use them as a punchline, a joke, or worse, an insult?" Palmos, along with the cast of fresh and established movers in theater behind 'Zsazsa Zaturnnah The Musical... Yun Lang,' take us on the journey of bringing an iconic gay character to today's audiences.
