Tatler Philippines - July 2023

In this issue

Our July issue celebrates Filipinos breaking boundaries and making their presence felt in their respective fields. Headlining this issue is the Hollywood superstar Vanessa Hudgens, whose journey to stardom started in 2006 when she had her big break playing the lead character, Gabriela Montez, in the hit TV series “High School Musical”. Her meteoric rise to fame was unstoppable, continuing over the years with more top-rated projects such as Netflix’s rom-com trilogy, “The Princess Switch” and the 2021 American biographical musical film “Tick, Tick... Boom!”, and most recently, the provocative supernatural documentary, “Dead Hot: Season of the Witch”. Her phenomenal success in the international entertainment scene has brought so much pride and joy to many Filipinos worldwide.
