Metro Society divulges the secrets behind the rise of the country’s most hardworking personalities after facing loss, heartbreak, sickness, and strife in its Feel Good Issue this July.
Agriculture undersecretary Berna Berna Romulo Puyat opens the issue with the tale of how she found strength by falling in love with our beloved country. Starting from grief after her husband’s sudden passing, Berna shares how she was able to cope through amazing work with the DA.
Sit down with writer and creative mind Wanggo Gallaga as he talks about HIV and what it means to live with it with every intention of enjoying life, as well as cancer survivors Cecilia Schulze and her 15-year old son, George.
In the spirit of new beginnings, Metro Society also gets to know newlyweds Joey and Pia Yupangco who have had their fair share of difficult times, both widowed having lost their spouses to sicknesses and having to find themselves learning how to live as individuals again.
From a quiet solace of healing to a very public split, we learn the real, heartbreaking story of recently divorced Tricia Centenera as she shares what really went on in her whirlwind romance with popular entertainer Gab Valenciano; one that resulted to three weddings, moving across the world, a very short-lived marriage, and how she still came out with the strength and grace of Christ alive in her heart.
The magazine also takes an artful turn as it celebrates artists—designers, painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, art curators—and their pets, as we step inside the creative spaces of these loveable beasts and their humans: Mark Nicdao, Raul Fores, Monica and Daniel Dela Cruz, Jome Silayan, Anne Gauthier, Michaela Eduque, Gio Puyat, Sassa Jimenez, Ciane Xavier Calma, JC Inocian, Kat Ong, Tina Fernandez, Rica Lorenzo, Rajo Laurel and Nix Alañon.
Meanwhile, take the front seat to all Autumn/Winter’17 must-see shows with fashion correspondent Camille Aguilar in Milan to see in demand high fashion brands such as Bally, Furla, Jimmy Choo, and Gucci. AERIN Beauty founder, Aerin Lauder, is also hailed as the favorite beauty pick of July as AERIN Fragrance Collection arrives our shores this month.
