“I’m just saying the things people are already thinking.”
Gia Aldisert is exactly who you think she is—just sharper, funnier, and completely unfiltered.
From Love Overboard to what’s next, she’s proving you don’t have to perform to stand out. You just have to stay true to who you are.
No Script. No Shift. Just Gia.

Social media dominates our perspectives on pop culture, that’s a fact. Influencers churn out endless content, yet only a few create to tell meaningful stories. @ashtin is proof that being yourself—on and off socials—is the secret to having the best of both worlds.
Having just turned twenty-two, Ashtin navigates early adulthood through her own style of self-expression, continually redefining what it means to be authentic in the public eye.
Scroll her feed and you’ll find something bubbling beneath the surface—Ashtin isn’t just building an online presence; she’s building a life that embraces realness, vulnerability, and self-deprecating humor.
“It genuinely doesn’t work when I try to be anything other than me,” she admits. “You can clock it immediately.” Her superpower? Simply being herself—a rare commodity in a digital landscape saturated with polished perfection.
And over here at ELETOM, we love to see quality in those who influence us, reminding us to stay human and real. Life lived authentically, in the moment—that’s the energy we’re here for.

She dons a starched white shirt and pin-striped trousers, transforming from MI5 secretary Jean Leslie into 13 different characters with chameleon-like precision. Meet Claire-Marie Hall ( @claire_m_hall ) , the Filipino-British actress redefining what it means to command the Broadway stage.
For this month ELETOM MAGAZINE sits down with the Operation Mincemeat star who never planned on Broadway but now finds herself at the center of a historic moment for Filipino and Southeast Asian representation in theater. Now she’s setting her sights on iconic roles like Eliza in Hamilton and Glinda in Wicked, with dreams of working across the globe.

For our AAPI Heritage Month cover, ELETOM steps into the world of travel through the perspective of Access Travel and Explora Ahora’s ( @exploraahora ) CEO and Founder Angely Dub ( @angelydub )
She started her business at 19 with a company full of debt, a mother who believed in her, and armed with the kind of conviction that doesn’t really make sense until years later when it does.
Fifteen years on, she has outlasted trends and local competitors alike, pioneered influencer marketing in Philippine travel before anyone had a name for it, and built a clientele that values discretion over spectacle.
Since then, she’s moved between continents, establishing herself in Spain while running her business remotely, and is studying filmmaking this summer for no one’s benefit but her own, and has made peace with the fact that weekends are hers now.
And in our eyes, this is what it looks like when someone builds a life as intentionally as they build a business.

For over a decade, SPRUCE DESIGNS ( @sprucedesignsph ) has been the quiet force behind Manila’s most unforgettable spaces and milestones, from Hermès to Louis Vuitton, intimate weddings to Art Fair Philippines. Founder Pat P. Tañedo ( @patpastelerotanedo ) says it best, especially when it comes to special occasions such as Mother’s Day: “When you send flowers, you are sending a feeling.”

Two weeks ago, Bench Fashion Week ( @benchtm ),launched a special gala in partnership with the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines to celebrate 70 years of diplomatic friendship.
The event was held at One Space Ayala and featured three of the country’s best designers: Joey Samson ( @joeysamsonstudio ) , Rhett Eala ( @rhetteala ) , and Jaggy Glarino ( @jaggyglarino ) . Each designer created collections that intertwined modern Filipino silhouettes with Japanese influences and explored themes such as movement, memory, and the in-between moments of life.

@juliasaubier has spent her life moving between worlds; working at Reuters as a conflict journalist, pageantry, martial arts, motherhood, and now, the big screen.
Yet somehow, it all makes sense.
For our latest spotlight series, she opens up about navigating the newsroom, the pageant world’s impossible standards, finding herself in martial arts films, becoming a mother, and landing a role in the film adaptation of Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree starring alongside Andrew Garfield, #ClaireFoy, and Nicola Coughlan , a film her son will one day watch and say, “That’s my mom.”
“My mission has always been to put Asian and Filipino people on the global stage.”

We may have been a little late to the conversation, but Coachella this year was impossible to ignore. @bini_ph , @moby , @lilbieber , @katseyeworld with @ejae_k , @audreynuna , @rei.ami , @sabrinacarpenter along with the Queen of Pop herself, @madonna , and last but certainly not the least @lalalalisa_m with @anyma — the kind of lineup that keeps the weekend going long after it’s over.
