MEGA June 2019 Special with Manila Luzon 

Fashion has been redefined in the past few years to be more inclusive and accepting. Through fresh lenses, we have come to learn that there is beauty in all shapes and silhouettes—and the world can't tell us otherwise. This July, Ria Atayde stands steadfast as a figure who is proving the strength of embracing your shape and donning what makes you feel comfortable. To be confident in your own style is one thing, and to continuously choose your self and your own comfort is a rollercoaster ride filled with learning, unlearning, and relearning. Also in this issue, get to know the designers who are daring you to wear new shapes and new silhouettes. Plus, read about the four women who aren’t afraid to scream body positivity in their daily lives.

In celebration of this month’s Pinoy Pride, MEGA puts the spotlight on the Filipino talents who are paving the way to a brighter tomorrow. Leading this vision are our cover stars Belle, Andrea, Francine, Jayda, Alexa, and Charlie—Star Magic’s new generation of talents who dare to think about stardom differently and who have mastered the ability to speak directly to their audience from one platform to another. While in fashion and beauty, meet the creatives who are combining passion and purpose to elevate the local industry.

This month, MEGA explores the spaces slowly being occupied by the Metaverse. Through the dexterity of our cover star, Maureen Wroblewitz, we try to interpret a world where virtual meets physical: virtual realities, NFTs, virtual clothes, virtual clothes, etc. We also get to see the musings of this international model, turned beauty queen, turned actress. Also in the spotlight are brands and designers that are moving to a more sustainable way of doing things. The consumers are slowly following their lead.

Summer has arrived and despite the sweltering heat, there’s a fresh breeze blowing in the air and along with it a feeling of hope. With our cover star and global fashion icon, Heart Evangelista-Escudero, we invite you to slow down and enjoy a world refreshed with freedom. Whether she’s jet-setting to fashion shows or dressing up to lounge at home, she teaches us how to savor each beautiful part of life. Speaking of fashion, embrace the return of dressing with our homegrown brands who are designing with purpose. For beauty and features, discover how mindfulness—from protecting your skin to making mental health a priority—leads to a greater appreciation for life and a greater level of happiness.

Woman by choice. This month, MEGA is embracing every side of femininity: the fierce and compelling type to the soft sensual kind, with our cover stars, Bianca Gonzalez, Bea Soriano-Dee, and Vania Romoff leading by example. Inside, be inspired by fashion designer Furne One who has celebrated feminine prowess for 30 years in fashion. In beauty, we encourage women to speak up whether it’s about consent and intimacy or positive aging. It’s time to let a woman be defined by herself.


MEGA is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a cause–a cause to heal, help, and head–to evolve into a brand of style and purpose. Our multi-generation of cover stars: Cherie Gil and Nadine Lustre are living authentically to give back, while Scarlet Snow Belo explores what it means to live responsibly. From otherworldly makeup, Filipino legends told through art, and heritage brands embracing change while honoring tradition, discover how our homegrown creatives are telling stories that matter. 


Freedom is the new luxury. Discover what it means for our cover stars: OG influencer Bryanboy, who remains as one of the most successful and powerful voices in fashion, and the wildly sexy—and newly married—Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay, whose whirlwind romance caught everyone’s attention. From indulgent me-time beauty products, excellent party-time hair and makeup, investment pieces to gift, and 5-star celebrations at home, get ready for a new kind of luxury experience. 


MEGA’s annual shopping issue proposes a more sustainable and thoughtful approach to retail therapy. From investment pieces, like your wedding gown, to daily staples, such as sneakers, discover what it takes to add to cart. On our cover is Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez, tattooed and a proud member of the LGBTQIA+,  who is heralding a new kind of queen for a new kind of age. Joining her from our pages are Elisse Joson, Pia Wurtzbach, women who who are all redefining what success is—and what it looks like.


The real you is the best one. This month MEGA celebrates beauty and technology that empower and reveal the authentic self. Discover inspiring stories from creative minds, led by cover star Alodia Gosiengfiao, as well as beauty and fashion stories to make you re-think what is possible.

Fashion is back and taking its rightful place, front and center.

Also, discover the latest Filipino brands that should be in your radar: from self-styled ternos to chic essentials.

Lastly, discover why a low maintenance friendship may be exactly what you need now. 


Traveling, whether to exotic destinations, to be with loved ones, or to simply break free, is a dream. This month, we’re indulging in the luxury of the journey, starting with cover star, the iconic Anne Curtis. She’s back after a long sojourn, and she’s stronger than ever. From fashion inspired by the space race to a style dispatch straight from Fashion Week, and one editor’s very personal account of actually traveling during the pandemic, we keep pushing on, hoping—and aiming—for the best.  


This month MEGA is making things work. Fronted by fierce females Bella Ysmael and Milka Romero, we put the focus on remarkable females, including dazzling muses Catriona Gray and Ellen Adarna, sports giants like Alyssa Valdez and Pauline Lopez, and visionary entrepreneur Glenda Victorio. Following their lead, fashion and beauty work overtime, making us feel and look good, with color enlivening everything and personal style at the forefront. It’s time to take control and live as boldly as we want. 


We’ve made our choice, now make yours. Our annual #NewPH issue celebrates Filipinos for Filipinos with a diverse group of people who have all made a stand to give us hope and inspiration. On our cover is the divine Dr. Vicki Belo, a revolutionary beauty pioneer who’s still striving, still doing more, still doing better. Discover her story and those of the other Filipinos who make us swell with #PinoyPride.

Color your world with hope, positivity, and passion. This May, MEGA goes back to its roots by celebrating local design talent as top female fashion designers Vania Romoff, Patty Ang, and Rosenthal Tee front the issue. Inside, be inspired by Miss Philippines Universe Rabiya Mateo’s take on sexy summer makeup, actress Max Collins’ motherhood beauty style, and more. For fashion, vivid hues reign with an editorial dripping with acid colors and bold silhouettes. Lastly, celebrate relationships on quarantine and Mother’s Day with special features. 


This summer, MEGA welcomes the future. Fronted by Ivana Alawi, the internet’s ingenue as fashion’s cosmic frontierswoman, the issue features scintillating fashion from Louis Vuitton, essential skincare straight from the editors’ vanities, and profiles on people bucking the city for life by the sea. 


...This month, be prepared to go where your passions take you. Maggie Wilson-Consunji shows us why fortune indeed favors the bold with a smoldering editorial in Bali. Dress the part with sexy day dresses and serene silhouettes, and let multitasking beauty products let you focus on achieving your goals.

Supermodel Hannah Locsin fronts the November 2020 edition, an ode to the courage of people living in a brave new world. The annual Shopping Issue is imbued with a sense of responsibility and awareness, focusing on local finds and talent, as well as sustainability. Together, we move forward with joy and optimism as we rediscover the fun and fantasy of fashion and beauty, highlighting everything that shines and sparkles. 

Our annual Big Beauty Issue gets real and goes skin deep, starting with the stunning Solenn Heussaff, who lets us in on quarantine life as an artist and a new mom in a series of raw and unedited photos. Then, discover the best skincare and makeup (yes, we’re still wearing it) for the new normal in our Beauty Awards. Get the rundown on the state of beauty in the country as some of the biggest bosses—from influencers to entrepreneurs and top executives—share their learnings.

And from the depths, we rise, one stroke at a time, reaching for the light—for life. 

This is the new MEGA. Bolder and stronger, we are taking on a radically different reality with a fresh perspective on fashion, beauty and beyond. Our distinctive voice remains, but it is now imbued by a new sense of self and a deeper understanding of what is essential. In this digital age, we dare you to pick up this edition and feel the glossy pages we’ve filled with ideas, people and things that are stylish, purposeful and inspiring. In this issue, discover the best of local fashion artists and artisans, this year’s #NewPH and the reason why Catriona Gray is the face of this brave new generation leading us into the future.

We see you. As MEGA celebrates 10 years of Pinoy Pride this month, we look back at the individuals and groups that have inspired us, made us proud to be Filipinos and—most importantly—showed us how to make a stand. From fashion to the arts, business and sports, these are the people made, and continue to make, a difference.

Can’t look away? Welcome to the female gaze. MEGA celebrates Female Power this month, with no less than Pia Wurtzbach on our cover for the final #MakingMEGA. Who better than the golden queen herself, shot in the sun-soaked beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to lead this revolution? Fashion speaks up with mothers and daughters of style, unapologetic dressing and the trends that get you noticed. Beauty dares to get even more colorful and unapologetic, from nails to hair to the scents of real wonder women. Need more female? Sit down and listen to the stories of the women in our lives—some inspire, some provoke—but let’s be clear: they will all be heard.

After 7 years and 13 Making MEGA documentaries, we travel halfway across the globe and return to where it all began. We walk along the pulsating, vibrant, and ever so colorful streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, playing with danger and daring to standout in fiery fashion with Nadine Lustre, James Reid, and Bret Jackson. #MakingMEGAinRio

Sing out loud. Make yourself heard. MEGA welcomes the New Year with three women who know their due and take up the space, all while lifting up their fellow females and all the aspects of femininity. Sarah Lahbati takes a new direction as a fashion darling, doting mother and soon-to-be wife. Regine Velasquez Alcasid, a true MEGA woman if there ever was one, lends her hard-earned wisdom and passion to the stage, and Sarah Geronimo, an icon of her generation, a woman who discovered her strength by purposely being vulnerable. MEGA also celebrates a brand new direction, a new beginning with fashion’s green reckoning with the finest and bravest taking a stand for the earth and future generations. The future is here and it’s still something to sing about, a song to end on a major key.

The Worthy One: Jane De Leon Is Ready To Take Flight. The youngest Darna opens up about her real feelings on the iconic role, what she thinks about naysayers and why she’s got what it takes for the long run. Read Jane de Leon's story on the December 2019 issue of MEGA.

MEGA November 2019 Featuring Julie Ann San Jose

Timeless beauties Heart Evangelista Escudero and KC Concepcion front the annual beauty issue, which features the MEGA 2019 Beauty Awards. In fashion, discover the essential bags and must-have style pieces.

Forever intertwined in space, time, and circumstance, music and fashion offer this symbiotic relationship that elevates the other to an even more fantastic level. Taking inspiration from each other, the two pillars of creativity have seen many concepts take flight, proving that while a standout on their own, they become increasingly better when paired together. It is with this that we present MEGA's first ever music issue, in the years most anticipated and celebrated issues, no less. 

Seeing what they have been doing, and most importantly, listening to what they have to say, musically and otherwise, we gather seven of the freshest acts that are making the airwaves more melodic than ever. Striking transformations inspired by musical genres aside from their own, witness how Frankie Pangilinan, Gabbi Garcia, Jess Connelly, Kiana Valenciano, KZ Tandingan, Maris Racal, and Maymay Entrata raise their voices to your attention. 

The big fashion issue gets moved by the rhythm, incorporating music in must-have fashion, chart-topping beauty, and barrier-breaking conversations that give a symphonic depth to music.

All things considered, the pertinent call to action here is to assess and access that stirring sense of individuality and sing your own song or make your hymn be heard to make that lingering imprint as if it was that LSS you will not ever want to let go of.
