The first time that most of the country took notice of KZ Tandingan, she shared the story of losing her voice and then finding it. It was more than a decade ago, on one of the audition stops of the first season of the now defunct show X-Factor Philippines. She just turned 20, and tended toward pairing comfortable-looking kicks and dresses with her wild and wavy hair.

Maricris Floirendo-Brias didn’t intend it, but she would eventually be the one to carry out her father’s legacy. In the mid-1900s, Don Antonio O. Floirendo Sr. established the Tagum Agricultural Development Co. or Tadeco as an abaca plantation in Mindanao, before deciding to shift to bananas.

Like many children who came of age before the internet, Steffy Misoles-Dacalus spent most of her days outside. “Playing in the mud, in the rain, with the boys,” she recalls.

Debuts, pageants, and weddings—for awhile, Davao’s fashion scene revolved around these three things. “I’ve seen a lot of designers here in Davao who are really into gowns,” says Wilson Limon. That was the stereotype, Goldie Siglos says, “especially in a small town.”Growing up in the capital of southern Mindanao, young creatives like Wilson and Goldie didn’t consider fashion as a viable career path.

In 2019 when Eloy Jimenez, Michael Kopech, and Dylan Cease rounded out the top 3 prospects, the White Sox signed a Cuban teenager that would shoot up the ranks like a cannon. In 51 games for the White Sox in the Arizona Rookie League, Ramos slashed .277/.353/.415, totaling a .768 OPS. He smacked four home runs and ten doubles, driving in 26. An issue to keep an eye on was his 19:44 walk-to-strikeout ratio. That are impressive numbers for a 17-year-old.

An organization looking to touch up some areas of weakness to compete in the next year or two should not have Yasmani Grandal as their catcher. At the time of the signing, Grandal was an exceptional pickup. He was a decorated veteran with pop and tremendous plate discipline. Speed has never been used to define what he does around the bases and his catching ability would not get any better, but the signing signaled this team was ready to take the next step.

Hopefully, this organization will look very different in 2024.

This rebuild has not turned out how Chicago White Sox fans had hoped and anticipated. Struggling players, repetitive problems, and front-office lies and failures have led this core astray. Tim Anderson, Luis Robert Jr, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Lucas Giolito, Michael Kopech, and Dylan Cease have made up the core of this team for a few years now. While assembling this core, multiple parades were in the minds of many.
