PATH TO NEW DIRECTION

With the constant change in the creative field, Perci Intalan paves the way to new and fresh stories through the art of film making. Imbibed with his creative prowess, continuously strives to be a multi-faceted talent and hopes to produce new films in the future.

Now more than ever, the LGBTQIA+ community has never been more loud. We’re beginning to see a re-emergence as the message gets clearer; they are here to stay. Village Pipol launched a Pride campaign “You Are” wherein any members from LGBTQIA+ community can participate. After hundreds of participants, each member gets to be highlighted on our official Facebook page, as well as through our other social media channels– sharing the message of pride.

On the other side of the spectrum, not everyone has a good support system. In the case of Ria Atayde, she gets her strength through the bond with her mother, Sylvia Sanchez. These mother-daughter star tandem was May 2022’s VP/Cover.

Despite the chaotic ins and outs of the pandemic, this gave us time to learn more about ourselves and develop a different perspective in life. Life is indeed short. There is definitely a lot to unpack. A million words we need to say. Deep breathes we need to master. But the Filipinos are known to be resilient. 

I am looking forward to better years. Yes, we maybe recovering from the reality of the pandemic, but reality is our battlefield. Stay close and listen, our voices will be heard.

August is a slow month. It stretches out the longest across the span of a year. Half of the year has already gone. And, there are only a few months left before 2021 ends. It seems this month has become the perfect time to make the most of the entire year. And, because it is a slow month, it yawns and lingers on - being considered the ghost month. The year is slow to alter to forget - due to the COVID-19 pandemic spanning across a few years. 

As a celebration, we feature Sam Pinto on the VP/Cover as she welcomes enigmatic motherhood. For the VP/Spotlight, we celebrate August as the Buwan ng Wika. Editor-in-chief Angela Baltan showcases Lala Vinzon in a beautifully crafted Filipino feature. Meanwhile, VP/Xclusive displays DJ Loonyo’s passion overruling his fear of entering the music industry. 

Truthfully, August has been a slow month. But, even then, we shall not regret the current tide that has come. May we continue battling against the steady mobility of this year. 

For the whole month of June, companies and organizations publicize their rainbow-themed logos all over the internet. However, the moment July comes, they revert to black and white. This month, we prove that Pride will never be over as Village Pipol Magazine proudly features LGBTQ+ content. We shall continue celebrating the community and stand together for the powerful moment of love and acceptance. 

For the special issue, we shine a light on a company that has started to release gender-neutral garments. Distinguished brand Avon Philippines showcase and produce cutting-edge and high-quality products. They strive to help members of the LGBTQIA+ community to feel seen, supported, and celebrated by relaying acceptance and inclusivity. Now easily attained with the new Limitless Collection, their gender-neutral intimates, setting to break standards for retail fashion. 

On the VP/Cover, Kokoy de Santos and Elijah Canlas unfold a bigger narrative as they continue to represent the LGBTQ+ community in mainstream media with the famed BL series, ‘Gameboys.’ Meanwhile, on the VP/Spotlight, Adrianna So proves that she emanates a golden spark as she points a magnifying glass on visibility and equality for the queer women in media, especially with ‘Pearl Next Door.’ VP/Xclusives, on the other hand, features two young women Ysabel Ortega and Liezel Lopez that continue to climb the ladder to success. 

We have come a long way competing for inclusivity, and we still have a lot of work to do. So, let us continue fighting the good fight. 

Cheers!

With this year’s theme, may we stop limiting LGBTQ+ with the label attached to their stereotype. May we stop limiting them from displaying their true selves and start making a better world. Let’s start recognizing their orientations, expressions, and identities - as well as their achievements and accomplishments - and create a discussion about the issues that they continue to face in our society. 

Together, let’s promote every person’s individuality regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. Let’s deliver a message that an LGBTQ+ person's sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression do not define their whole being.

Happy Pride, everybody!

Summer does not last all year but the memories made during the summer do not fade away. It lasts despite the summer sun has already passed. It has been carved in ethereal realms as beauty glistens with promise and no qualms. Although we are not free as air and the heat never seems, we experience the best of skies of blue and relish in the cold that drinks could ensue.

Village Pipol Magazine May 2021 Issue

This May, ethereal beauty reigns over the birth of flowers and gentle beings. For VP/Cover, we see Angelina Cruz define amelioration, the act of making something better, and her improvement as she rises - not as a legacy, but as her own. Aside from showing off his rare sunkissed beauty, Marc David detailed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this year’s summer on VP/Spotlight.

We celebrate Mother’s Day and get a glimpse of the unique relationship between mother-and-daughter Jessa Zaragoza and Jayda Avanzado for the VP/Special. For VP/Exclusive, Neil Padilla takes social media by storm as he capitalizes on it with his irresistible appeal and magnetic looks. Jordan Magno, on the other hand, enumerates why self-expression remains a vitality; a life force, and energy.

Despite the pandemic, it proved that summer remained the best season with a thousand colors bursting on a parched landscape.


April is the time of growth and moving forward in new and positive ways. Village Pipol Magazine features men and women who continue to bring an ethereal perception of beauty. They prove that this month comes with a basket of rainbows and the blooming, springtime hour. It has become nature’s own month and heaven’s season.

VPXclusives featured two stories: Janine Gutierrez, JC Santos, and JP Habac talk about the movie ‘Dito at Doon,’ circulating around human connection during seemingly endless confinement. Manolo Pedrosa, on the other hand, sees the good and the bad working during the new normal.

The sunshine feels warmer as the start of summer appears in whispers and hushed tones.

In this February 2021 issue, the VP team features a variety of content that is helpful and significant in these new normal times. On this month’s cover, we feature two separate covers -- local heartthrob Teejay Marquez and Thai actor Chanakan “Boss” Poonsiriwong. These young actors have been proving their worth in the entertainment scene, making them the most promising stars of the Philippines and Thailand. 

Get to know more about BL actor Kristof Garcia plus exclusive interviews with Miss Bikini Philippines 2021 Chelsea Fernandez and Kelvin Miranda.

January 2021 issue features the cast of Korean series “Sweet Home” and promising actress Riva Quenery.  Moreover, get to know more about beauty queen Maria Isabela Galeria and newbie actor Kelvin Miranda.

We are now in the last month of 2020, and I just want to congratulate you on surviving
this tough year. The past months have been really challenging for most of us, a year
that made huge demands on all of us — emotionally, mentally, and psychologically.
Despite what is happening in the world right now, let us not forget to still spread love and kindness this Christmas season.

Aside from being a season of love and giving, December is a moment for throwbacks and appreciation. Looking back at what we’ve been through this year, I must say only the strong ones could survive this roller coaster ride. Time flies so fast but all the learnings from this year will last forever.

In this issue, we want to send a message of hope that everything will be back to normal if we work together. Uncertainties can either make you feel hopeful or downright depressed, so we must learn to find in ourselves the motivation to live a life with purpose. No one wants to go down the rabbit hole and since, we Filipinos, are ought to be resilient, we opt to look at the brighter side and feel optimistic. We're not saying that we're romanticizing this great Filipino trait, it's just that it's noteworthy especially in such a tumultuous year.

Let’s remain optimistic and be an image of hope while working hard to better our lives and the lives of people around us.

As a publication company who has gone through the process of finding our own voice, along with enduring the unanticipated rough patch brought on by this global pandemic, we, at Village Pipol Magazine, continue to build on ourselves. Having promised to reach out to our audience with stories that hit home, we want to make sure that we can inspire and bring hope. For our 13th Anniversary Issue, we feature a unique but relatable tale that will surely resonate with a lot of people in this time of a great challenge.

For the past years, Village Pipol has always been committed to providing quality, relevant, and helpful content to all our readers. As your ‘Ultimate Guide To The Big City’, we will continue to work hard to produce inspiring stories that will bring hope and positivity in these difficult times.

Six months have passed since the start of community quarantine imposed by the government, and most have been trying their best to adapt to this new normal setting. 2020 has been really tough for all of us, but we have to remain strong and steadfast in these difficult times.

Since time immemorial, ‘Ber’ months have become a source of hope for most Filipinos as its signals the upcoming Christmas season. In this time of uncertainty, finding hope, and building a sense of normalcy is important to our well-being. This pandemic should never stop people from spending this season with their loved ones. We should remain close to our family and friends -- no matter what.

Even with the pandemic around, we can still continue to be hopeful and spread the concept of giving. Now, more than ever, let this be an opportunity to do good and act well towards our fellowmen. During these hard times, no matter how hard some of us have been through, let’s continue to help each other in finding healing and comfort. Don’t lose hope. We will get through this.

In this issue, lead stars Miko Gallardo and Iñaki Torres shared the relevance of BL Series, especially to the younger generation. Producing content that will showcase inspiring
LGBT+ stories will teach to be more inclusive and accepting.

The rise of the BL series in the Philippines comes with a big responsibility. We may continue
to share stories that are relevant and purpose-driven. 

In this issue, we want to highlight the importance of empathy. In the past
months, the pandemic and humanitarian crises have already brought out the
worst in this country as we witness rising hostility, fear, frustration, and even
violence stoked by inequality and discrimination. In times of emergency and
uncertainties, providing empathy is the single most important factor if we
want to survive such a disaster.

Empathy, on a very basic level, is what makes us human.

This June 2020, we are celebrating the 122nd anniversary of our Independence day.
I am sending you this message to encourage all of you to live, work, and serve the nation with integrity, influence, and harmony. Let us remember our heroes and martyrs who fought hard for our freedom. We should always be reminded of their heroism and uphold our duty of maintaining peace and sovereignty. The development and stability of our nation’s well-being is on us. The freedoms we enjoy are not free.

Amid all the issues happening in our country today, now more than ever, is the right time to ignite our deeply-embedded Filipino spirit. Let this milestone serve as reminder that we must always work together to protect our freedom as a nation — no matter what it takes.
Villagers, motivate yourself to strive better to be an active citizen who can contribute to nation-building. May your sense of nationality and compassion for humanity be planted in your hearts and it will continue to grow and prosper. Let’s continue to brave important battles today.

Philippines, Happy 122nd Independence day!

The new normal will be anything but ordinary.

This pandemic has started to build new barriers at overwhelming speed, globally
— travel bans, disrupted supply chains, closed borders, stricter import and export regulations. Globalization has fallen victim to this global chaos, highlighting the risk in overdependence in global supply chains. Driven by all the massive changes in people’s perception, government policies, and business world practices, the world — in various aspects — will dramatically evolve.
