  • 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.

  • 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 ‘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.
