In this issue

For the first time, actress Heart Evangelista is introduced as Love Marie Ongpauco, having recently forayed into the public as an artist, in a medium different from television, where she is associated.

Manolo Lopez on national artist BenCab; entrepreneur George Yang on opera singer Rachelle Gerodias; host and society columnist Johnny Litton on sculptor/ furniture designer Niccolo Jose; Politician/ journalist Teddyboy Locsin on writer Jessica Zafra; and businessman Amb. Joey Antonio on fashion designer Francis Libiran. Homegrown diamonds company Denovo collaborates with six artists: Olivia D’Aboville, Jinggoy Buensuceso, Maureen Disini, Neil Felipp San Pedro, Leeroy New and Cheryl Tiu, who translate fine jewelry into wearable art.
