Tatler Philippines starts the year on the right foot, giving us youthfulness, beauty, brightness and creativity all encased in this month's cover girl, Paloma Urquijo Zobel. 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.
