6 days ago | esquiremag.ph | Rhia D. Grana

Hapag’s new menu is an immersive introduction to this region often overlooked, yet rich in history, culture, and complexity.

I know that there’s so much more to learn about Filipino culture in those regions, especially when it comes to their food, art, customs, and everyday life.

Straight outta the Vatican. The internet absolutely loves The Pope.

2 weeks ago | esquiremag.ph | Paul John Caña

Amid a global decline in ecosystem value, the Philippine capital continues to signal growing competitiveness as it moves up in the rankings of emerging global startup ecosystems, thanks to a strong showing in fintech, AI, and sustainability.

Search the word online and you're inundated with products—cleansers, serums, moisturisers—that promise to remove the oil from your visage.

We took the Kia EV9 for a weekend drive to Chef Chele Gonzalez’s Asador in Alfonso, Cavite. How did it do? I’ve seen the Kia EV9 in pictures, but it’s still quite a sight when it’s standing right there in front of you. Angular and formidable, it looks slightly intimidating when you’re used to the tame, low-key Kias of the past. And that’s what my initial impression of the EV9 was: it certainly looked futuristic.

Bono Has Another Story to Tell

W. B. Yeats was buried just down the road,” says Bono near the end of our first afternoon together, name-checking the famed Irish poet. It’s early April and the U2 singer is walking me up the driveway of his vacation estate in the South of France, toward my waiting car. Behind us, the Mediterranean Sea fills the horizon, blue as far as the eye can see. His property stretches before us. A few houses. Couple of pools. It’s blissfully private, even if the glitz of Monaco and Cannes isn’t too far away.
