This June, Tatler Philippines celebrates pride: pride for the LGBTQ+ community, pride for our country, and pride for our achievements. This is why there’s no better time for us to launch our annual Gen.T List. With 300 honourees across Asia, the list features those shaping Asia’s future: from entrepreneurs and artists to athletes and lawmakers. In the Philippines, we have 40 young leaders shaping the scene and making us proud. You may already know them through their own very successful brands, but if not, we invite you to check them out and hear their stories.

We live in a time when gender roles are being shattered. No colour is delegated to a particular gender—blue isn’t meant for boys and pink isn’t locked to girls. The same holds true for jewellery. Whether it’s rings, bracelets, necklaces, or even earrings, gender-neutral accessories are becoming symbols of confidence, style, and courage. 

Discover the reasons behind the increasing trend of stars and brands embracing gender-neutral accessorising.

A hotelier, filmmaker, pop diva, and internet superstar on Asia’s Most Influential list are among the bright lights working toward more acceptance and greater understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community. They help pass landmark laws as social activists, create inclusive spaces as community leaders, or break biases as creative champions. By fighting for equality, they also give hope to LGBTQIA+ people who need to see more of themselves in the world. Through their different platforms, they help shape a brighter world where everyone can express their authentic selves without fear or discrimination.

In the dreary recesses of her mind, a confident woman finds herself in constant turmoil. She doesn’t understand why she gets vexed at the smallest of things. The smaller it is, the bigger the fury she feels inside. She erupts whenever something triggers her. She is annoyed. She is irritated. She is angry.

But Maxene Magalona—renowned Filipina actress, host, and yoga instructor—learnt how to overcome these intense feelings and remain calm. Gone were the days when she would tread the world of impulsivity. She started meditating in 2019, and the rest is history.
