Two years ago, #JuliaSaubier gave birth to a son, and the trajectory of her acting career shifted. When someone told her having a child would kill her career, she dismissed the thought. “Being a mother has deepened my craft and my appreciation for life and humanity, and I think it’s just really strengthened my work as an actor and also my character as a person,” she says. At the link in our bio, Vogue Philippines talks to the emerging actress about channeling a life of martial arts, pageantry, and film into one evolving craft. The May 2026 issue is now available on shop.vogue.ph and on newsstands.

Women on Women: Writer Audrey Carpio shares her words on Rosa Sevilla Alvero—a steadfast and unyielding voice for women’s suffrage. Unwritten Women is our newest publication, honoring the lives of Filipinas who helped shape the country’s social, cultural, and political landscape across generations.

In 1966, the #Beatles stood up an invitation to Malacañang Palace, got manhandled at the airport, and vowed never to tour again. Sixty years later, British Filipino writer #DavidGuerrero (@davidxguerrero ) sets the record straight on what really happened. From combing through Philippine newspaper archives to interviewing surviving members of the local fan club, he spent years gathering evidence that pointed to other sides of the story. His book ‘You Won’t See Me: When the Beatles Ghosted Imelda,’ Guerrero examines this piece of pop culture history from a Philippine perspective. “Other people have been telling the story of the Philippines. It hasn’t been told enough by Filipinos themselves,” he says. “Telling our history is important, because who better to tell it?” Tap the link bio to read the full story.

As the first woman of color nominated for the Best Cinematography at the #Oscars and the first female director of photography or cinematographer to shoot a feature on Ultra Panavision and IMAX 65mm, #AutumnDuraldArkapaw (@addp ) shapes each frame with the same hands and wrists that bear her grandfather’s initials in ancient Baybayin scripture, a permanent tribute to her Filipino roots. She shares how he was "one of the biggest influences on my childhood and my family.” Her recent collaboration with Ryan Coogler on #Sinners marked a major milestone in her career. The blockbuster production pushed technical boundaries and further cemented her reputation for pairing visual ambition with emotional depth. As her visibility grows, so does her sense of responsibility. “I want to show other girls that they can also be doing the same job.” From intimate character studies to large-format epics, her work is about more than image-making. It is about representation, history, and expanding who gets to be seen. For Vogue Philippines' March 2026 issue, cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw reflects on a history-making year as she sits in front of the camera, lensed by Pulitzer Prize finalist Hannah Reyes Morales.

In the Emmy award-winning drama #ThePitt, @isacamillebriones delivers one of the more tender moments of Season 2, when Dr. Trinity Santos hushes an abandoned, crying baby by singing a verse from the Hiligaynon lullaby "Ili Ili Tulog Anay." In a similar moment from Season 1, Dr. Robby, played by #NoahWyle, shares four phrases inspired by a Hawaiian healing ritual to help two siblings say goodbye to their dying father: 'I love you, Thank you, I forgive you, Please forgive me.' “I’ve heard so many stories since then, of people using that,” Briones tells Vogue Philippines. “There are a lot of people who are going to be able to go into those really tough moments a little more informed, a little less taken off guard.” Read the full story at the link in our bio.

In the Emmy-awarded medical drama The Pitt, #IsaBriones (@isacamillebriones ) plays Dr. Trinity Santos, working in an emergency department that reflects the vital presence of Filipino healthcare workers in the U.S. In Season 2, an unexpected moment unfolds when Santos hushes an abandoned baby by singing the Visayan lullaby “Ili Ili Tulog Anay.” Speaking from Los Angeles, Briones recalls how the scene came together. “It fit perfectly, especially for the context of this baby being left there,” she tells Vogue Philippines. “It was a really cool chance to show a softer side and also sprinkle a little culture in there.” At the link in our bio, Isa Briones talks to features editor Audrey Carpio about practical prosthetics, performing alongside her father, and weaving Filipino culture into #ThePitt’s second season, now streaming on Max.

When Oregon-based architect Gene Sandoval (@genepdx ) joined ZGF’s partnership, he was the sole brown face among 12 middle-aged white partners. Since he’s taken on the role of design partner in 2005, the firm has expanded its reach and evolved in both composition and perspective, reflecting a more diverse, global outlook. Two decades later, among ZGF’s 14 partners are six women, five immigrants, and three LGBTQ members. “I believe that diversity is good for bringing up the very best talent and the very best ideas,” Sandoval says. “I’m really proud about the evolution of the firm, and I think our work is as good as it’s ever been.” See the last word and full profile in the December 2025/January 2026 Issue of Vogue Philippines, available on shop.vogue.ph and on newsstands.

Before he was Apl.de.Ap (@apldeap ), Allan Pineda Lindo Jr. was a farmer’s grandson from Angeles City. Even as co-founder of the hip-hop group the Black Eyed Peas (@blackeyedpeas ), his global success never erased where he came from; only deepening his awareness of how opportunity, when shared, could be transformative. Over the years, he has supported Filipino education and creative development through his philanthropy; now, his focus has turned toward the earth itself. Holding on to his memories from his upbringing in Pampanga, an ambitious environmental movement was born: a plan to plant 100 million coconut trees across the Philippines. “This movement came from learning more about how the country wanted to restore its position as the leader in coconut,” he says. “For so long, we have just assumed that we were the de facto largest coconut exporter in the world, because once upon a time, 90 percent of all coconuts in the world came from here. But these things take constant care.” See the full story at the link in our bio. The Homecoming Issue of Vogue Philippines is now available on sarisari.shopping, shop.vogue.ph, and on newsstands.

By the outskirts of Mount Makiling, Jon (@jonpettyjohn ) and @TessyPettyjohn have spent more than five decades shaping clay and a community, by listening closely to the land beneath them. Their home, filled with vessels made by their own hands, moves at the same pace as their pottery: patient and grounded. “The medium chooses you,” Jon says, because here, the earth, chance, and belief meet in every form.
