Seven extraordinary and beautiful Filipinas recount their stories of triumph over trials in this new edition of Philippine Tatler. Susie Madrigal-Bayot makes her first magazine appearance as she takes the spotlight as this month\'s cover lady. Flip through the pages of our travel issue and be carried away to the African safari with the gorgeous Kienle sisters and be enlightened with Ben Chan\'s travel preferences.

Tatler welcomes 2023 with an issue that celebrates optimism, gratitude and joy starting off with the much-awaited return of the Tatler Ball. After a three-year hiatus, the Tatler Ball came back in full force. On the cover is this year's representative to le Bal des Débutantes, Atasha Muhlach, the daughter of showbiz celebrity couple Aga and Charlene Muhlach. The prestigious event held in Paris brought together 17 debutantes from all over the world, an über exclusive set that Atasha stamped with her style, charm, and grace.

Tatler caps off the year by celebrating the champions of our time in its December 2022 issue. On the cover is Filipino-American comedian Jo Koy, who has upheld Filipino culture through his work, one joke at a time. Photographed by international photographer Filbert Kung, Jo Koy shares his not-so-easy journey to the top, his love for family and being Filipino and returning to the Philippines for the holidays. 

Also, in this issue, design giants Gert Voorjans and Vincent Van Duysen get candid about their friendship and different style ethics in an interview. Style mavens Lauren Santo Domingo and Johanna Ortiz take us on a tour of the colourful and captivating city of Cartagena. 

We have Drag Queen extraordinaire Manila Luzon, photographed by Junessa Rendon, as she reveals colourful details of her new music venture and speaks on helping drag break into the mainstream. 

The issue will not be complete without Sandra Zobel’s Madrid travelogue, her very first article for Tatler Philippines, as well as her tribute to the notable Spanish photographer Fernando Manso.

This and more in this month’s issue of Tatler!

Two months before the start of 2023, Tatler Philippines unveils its Asia’s Most Influential List, the annual roster of the most relevant personalities who have been creating meaningful impact in the world of arts and culture, business, sustainability, philanthropy, public service, food and beverage, technology, entertainment and more. 

One of the honourees—and our cover girl this November 2022—is Marissa “Small” Laude. She has become an internet sensation and has made her weekly Saturday drop an anticipated event. During the pandemic and beyond, her Youtube vlog has made everyone laugh and cry and has captivated millions of viewers and followers. She has become everyone’s happy pill. Tatler Philippines editor-in-chief, Anton San Diego, recently flew to Singapore with Laude for a photoshoot hosted by Tiffany & Co where he took the chance to reacquaint our audience with the Internet star.  

Other exclusive features follow in our penultimate issue of the year. Stephanie Zubiri goes to New York with Rolex to interview the likes of Lin Manuel Miranda and Spike Lee on their mentorship programme. Eliza Romualdez-Valtos writes on the National Museum restoration preservation and volunteer programme and Tatler Philippines discovers the eight restaurants around Asia whose purposes are not only to serve excellent food but help the environment as well.  

On our cover are director Paul Soriano and his multi-hyphenated wife, Toni Gonzaga. It has been a banner year for the couple as they share the spotlight for this shoot with their adorable six-year-old son, Seve. In the last elections, they were prominently front and centre, going against the tide of people’s opinions and choices and magnificently rising above the noise. In the article, Moving Forward, they share their experience and how they rose above it, “If you’re doing something that’s affecting them and worthy of a response, you must be doing something relevant—and if they think [what you’re doing] is wrong, that’s their right.” 

“But as much as there was hate, there was ten times, a hundred times more love,” assures the filmmaker. “We’re so thankful for the new and great relationships we’ve made because of the campaign. We’ve also matured; we know who is worth our time, which is worth our emotions and feelings, and whom we’ll invest in. Anyone else outside that doesn’t matter.” Through the trials and tribulation, the two have also acutely fortified their relationship. “We’re stronger than ever, at peace and grateful for everything that we’ve been through,” Gonzaga attests.

This special issue presents Asia’s Most Stylish list with a four-cover extravaganza. We searched high and low to complete this year’s list—from a fashion-forward sexagenarian to a seven-year-old adorable child, from a president of one of the largest retail stores in the country to two beautiful actresses and influencers. The complete list, including those from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and China, will be posted on our website on September 2.

Get to meet seven young, dynamic individuals in our Next Gen article who helped in the election of the Marcos presidency. They talk about their roles and how they are now assisting in the current administration.

Join us as we tour the 1500-person capacity Samsung Performing Arts Theater of the performing

Also must-reads are our timely articles, such as: is there an end to the pandemic and what to

We in Tatler see August as equally exciting and vital as the other eleven months. We begin with our cover stars who embody this month’s theme: Diversity and Inclusion. 

For this tour-de-force article and imagery, head on to their story, "The Kings". The powerful visuals were done by one of the best photographers in the country, BJ Pascual and written by our Digital Director, Dorynna Untivero.

Everyone is talking about it, and yet no one fully understands it. Welcome to the metaverse, a world so polarising we just had to make an issue about it. Some believe this will usher in the new economy, and some think it’s much hogwash. I sit on the fence and honestly say I don’t get it. But no matter what your take on all this, it is the future, so best to try and understand it—sit with us on the fence.

On the cover is NY-based Filipino visionary and techpreneur Sheila Lirio Marcelo. She was in Manila for a couple of days to do talks and launch her company, Proof of Learn, alongside her co-founder Kevin Yang and Gabby Dizon of Yield Guild Games (YGG).

Proof of Learn encourages web developers to venture into the dynamic world of the metaverse through its first project, Metacrafters, a learn-to-earn platform where NFTs are earned, minted and traded by completing Web3 tutorials. 

Having been at the helm of the online service platform Care.com for 14 years, Marcelo says, “I guess it’s not a surprise to be where I am now, following the evolution of the internet. I’ve always believed in it; I was one of the early believers.”

It is a month of significant change as Tatler Philippines puts the spotlight on Finance for its sixth issue of the year. After an intense election period, Tatler Philippines has chosen to highlight the best of our country, starting with our cover man, Roland Ros. As the CEO of Kumu, he heads a Filipino-centric social media platform that's already the country's next big thing. Nicknamed a "soonicorn" by Ros himself, Kumu is a soon-to-be-unicorn changing how Filipinos connect and communicate. It is less filtered, less curated, and more carefree—plus, it puts a heavy focus on social change, something the country needs now more than ever.

Enjoy our stories on five individuals leading the drive for a greener, more eco-friendly existence; local products that we need to make a part of our lifestyle; a report on lab grown food and cultivated meats and how we can incorporate them into our diet. In our Motoring section, we spotlight Audi and its initiative to pave the way for electric cars. Find out more about social entrepreneur Illac Diaz’s Theory of Light documentary, which had its world premiere in Dubai. Our cover story has love written all over it. Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo-Guidicelli, the handsome and popular couple, finally make it to our pages after a two-year courtship to grace the cover.

Although International Women’s Day was last month, we are carrying on the celebration in this issue. Every day should be women’s day and should celebrate the women in our lives who have sacrificed, loved, inspired and contributed to the betterment of society, just like the women in this issue.

Headlining the list of prominent women is the first Filipino Nobel Peace Prize winner, Maria Ressa. The CEO and co-founder of Rappler, a global advocate for press freedom, is one of the most notable journalists today and an international hero. She has brought much pride to the country with this recognition.

We are also proud to unveil this year’s Women of Impact, 32 women who have blazed the trails in different industries from politics to business, entertainment, etc. We welcome Monique Toda, who writes two articles: The Evolution of Maria Clara and Stepping Into a Post-Pandemic World. We also highlight three female chefs and get to know a foundation that helps women break barriers in the tech business. Finally, we introduce Front & Female, a platform that puts out ongoing digital coverage of inspiring women and is committed to telling these stories all year round.

This month, we present to you The Creative List, featuring talented visionaries in the country who have pushed their craft and talent to unknown heights. 

The beautiful, elegant, multi-hyphenate Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez is on our cover. She gives us an exclusive peek into her coffee table book, "Embracing Natural Design", which she collaborated with the international publishing house Rizzoli. The book will be available by the end of the
month at www.stephaniekienlegonzalez.com.

We have a powerful, compelling story on the devastating level 4 storm that affected the Visayas and Mindanao regions last December 2021. The island of Siargao hailed as one of the most beautiful islands in the world, was raised to the ground. Three survivors share first-hand accounts and how they are rebuilding. The piece was also captured by French photographer and videographer Camille Robiou du Pont, who lived in Siargao for close to six years. In the article, After the Storm, we have listed some foundations and individuals leading the way in helping out, hoping that you could support, too.

This month we spotlight the family,  the foundation of our lives and wellspring of strength and love., highlighting the handsome Trillo brood: Paolo, Rissa and daughters Audra and Celestia. The couple share valuable lessons on marriage and why leading by example is at the core of their parenting style.

In our Scene section, we speak to six ladies who have migrated and ask them their reason for leaving, about their newfound life and love, and how they are raising their families abroad. Last December, we launched the much-awaited Tatler Dining Guide 2022 (previously called Best Restaurant’s Guide); this February, we are presenting the year’s well-deserved awardees. Take a look at the the new Univers in Greenbelt 3, which has some of my favourite brands such as Thom Browne and Assouline; Officine Universelle Buly Paris, a French beauty brand founded in 1803; and Off-White, an Italian luxury brand founded by the late Virgil Abloh.

In our Features well, our managing editor Chit Lijauco gives us a historic background on how we got our family names; Ortigas Foundation Library executive director John Silva writes about the influence of Abraham Van Heyningen Hartendorp, an American scholar and teacher who came to the Philippines in 1917 as a high school teacher and started the first magazine here called the Philippine Magazine.

We move on over to France and visit long-time friends Edouard and Sevrine Miailhe who used to live in the Philippines. They have taken over the family’s centuriesold vineyard, Château Siran in Bordeaux. We ask them about how it’s like running a wine business and their reaction to their Château Siran 2018 Margaux being named the best wine in the world. We also take a tour of the home of ultra-chic EIC of Lifestyle Inquirer online Ria Prieto and see how its eclecticism is just how she wants it.

The New Year is a great way to welcome new beginnings, new habits, and a new you! To ring in 2022, Tatler Philippines proudly puts four accomplished women on its cover to tell us more about themselves and their ongoing journeys in life. TV host Bianca Gonzalez, fashion designer Patty Ang, professional host Xandra Rocha, and corporate skills coach Ann Gauthier Das Neves are all the breath of fresh air we need this new year.

Tatler Philippines unveils its first-ever 300 list, comprising the country's most impactful and influential people. It is an evolution of Tatler's iconic Society list, as it features individuals who have made positive impact and have done something notable in the last 18 months.

On the cover and headlining the 300 list this year is Karen Davila. She is an award winning news anchor, one of the most trusted individuals in the country and a voice for this generation.

Tatler Philippines puts spotlight on 22 individuals and six places that have brought inspiration as well as that much-needed joy in our hearts. Gracing our cover is Sofia Zobel Elizalde, who has spent most of her life helping the arts, specifically in dance, giving talented children a better shot in life through her Steps Foundation. She shares with us the importance of art, passion, and purpose in this month's issue.

This month is our annual Asia’s Most Influential (AMI): Style, where we have selected 13 deserving individuals who epitomise the essence of this category. This year’s list reflects diversity rather than the obvious. It’s no longer your usual go-to list but names that need to be recognised. The pandemic has brought about a new order, a changing of the guards, and we here in Tatler do welcome the change. So now, we present the list with the new trendsetters, iconoclasts, classicists and mavericks who dress to the beat of their own heart.

This issue also highlights taste and design with our powerful and exclusive interviews starting off with Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli and our very own and probably the hottest and most renowned Filipino designer today, Michael Cinco. Check out Angelo Comsti’s interview with the legendary chef Jeremiah Tower and take a peek into the latest home by Antwerp-based designer Gert Voorjans.

She tells Tatler the challenges she faced, her inspirations and her journey to victory.

Tatler Philippines speaks to Iza Calzado, an actress and the co-founder of feminist media and events organisation She Talks Asia, and her husband, Ben Wintle, founder of delivery app Booky.

Tatler Philippines gives you an inside peek into exciting destinations around the world and within our diverse and vibrant country in its latest issue. 

Beautiful, dynamic and multi-hyphenated cover girl Katrina “Kats” Razon takes us on a tour of breathtaking Maldives. All Zoomed out and urban frazzled, she enjoys this precious time to retreat and rejuvenate in a way that positively impacts nature as well. Tantalising photos by her boyfriend Sean Lee-Davis will surely inspire you to book a flight there at the soonest possible opportunity. Kats encourages everyone to support programmes that aim to protect, conserve and preserve the environment.

Appearing on the cover for the first time together are five pillars of the Philippines’ dining scene who have set the benchmark for how we see and appreciate food today: award-winning chefs Tony Boy Escalante and Margarita
Forés, notable restaurateurs Rikki Dee and Abba Napa, and renowned chef and food writer Claude Tayag.

Alongside these five, Tatler Philippines has also put together 25 names— from chefs to restaurateurs, food writers, food and wine purveyors, agri-experts and one mixologist. They all have taken our culinary scene to new heights. We would like to commend them, especially in these trying times, for being brave, crazy, passionate, persistent and for helping us appreciate food through their palate and expertise.

Tatler Philippines celebrates fashion in its latest issue, paying tribute to the creativity, resiliency, and preservation.

Read our story on where she expressed her thoughts on turning 50, what the country can do to further enhance our arts and culture, and who to her are the performers making a mark today.

This month is our Home and Design issue, but we have added an extra element to it: Family. As we have learnt from the past year when we were stripped bare of the trappings of life, family was integral to our sanity and well-being.

On the cover is the Jacob family, David and Amanda with their four kids. David is the CEO of Marsh Asia, an insurance banking and risk management firm; while Amanda is one of the founders of Glam-O-Mamas blog, an online business that celebrates motherhood.

She is the creative genius behind her Filipino-inspired lifestyle collective, Piopio, as well as the force behind cultural hubs Kalye Artisano and Jungle Bar—both in Lio, the first tourism estate of her family in Palawan.

One article you can’t miss is the interesting piece by Corinne Redfern for The Fuller Project. It tackles the life of transgender people in the country, and what must be done to stop the murders as well as the indifference. It will help shed a light to a world that we do not know of, and the crux of it all is to realise that we are all the same trying to do our best with what has been given to us.

We also delve into the personal stories of four individuals whose lives have been transformed by the pandemic—from moving out of the city, to changing jobs and finding new passions.

What we have learnt from 2020 is that we need to make our health a priority. We speak to gurus, a shaolin monk and the founder of beauty brand Aesop as well as give you the latest in health and fitness, food and drinks.

Aside from all our style, beauty, watches and jewellery pages this month, we present a relevant and interesting fashion forum with some of the top designers in the country.

We get behind the creative genius of the most in-demand photographer in the country, Mark Nicdao. For someone who was rather sheepish and unsure that this was the path that he wanted to take in life, he has certainly revolutionised the photography, publishing, advertising and multimedia landscape that he perfectly dwells in. In the feature "Making A Mark", we share with you some of his chosen photographs over the years.

For the first time in this magazine’s history, we are featuring on our cover a same sex married couple: Tim Yap and Javi Martinez. Tim is no stranger to Philippine society, but he is also one of our closest and dearest friends. He is a trailblazer in all he does (TV and events hosting, club business, events promotion, etc). There is no one like him in his generation; but because of him, many have followed. Javi, who was born in Madrid, is a successful events director, who has done some of the most magnificent weddings and launch parties. They got married three years ago in New York and are a few of the very visible gay couples that have come out of their shell and are proud of their union.
