Guess who just turned 25? It’s PeopleAsia magazine, which went all out on its silver anniversary as it also celebrated the People of the Year 2025 awards plus the launch of a YouTube Channel!
Fairmont Makati was packed by the best and the brightest from across industries! From our pride at the Olympics, gold medalist Carlos Yulo, the Father of Philippine Glass Sculpture Ramon Orlina, to the modern-day heroes like Medal of Valor recipient Ret. Col. Ariel Querubin, and more honorees. Congratulations to all the deserving recognitions! Also present were stars like Marian Rivera and Kris Aquino. Talk about star-studded!
On its 25th year, PeopleAsia continues to shine a light on those who shape our culture and bravely take the first steps toward change. It also shows how it stays ahead and adapts for the future. I guess you could say that this magazine is a silver lining itself for the Filipino! Bravo to everyone behind the magazine, then and now, always serving us with all the latest and greatest in our culture. I would gladly get dolled up for PeopleAsia every year, and more if they ask me. ’Til the 2026 edition! Cheers!
