  • THE NEW ORDER ISSUE

    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.

    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?

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.

    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 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.
