Five minutes? An hour? Four hours? For as long as she can take your this month
conceit? Forget it you cant even begin?
The way I see it, youve already won her over the moment she fixes her gaze
on you while you speak. Shes thinking she doesnt have the time, but she can't
believe shes listening and that you actually might make sense. Youd have
taken out the fight in her if you make her laugh. Sounds clich but its true
that peal of laughter is the sound of a wall collapsing, and at that point she
may be thinking who cares what other people saywho cares what I say?!
this guy is interesting.
I have no absolute proof for this, but I do know that when we talked with
Rhian Ramos to plan this cover shoot in France, and finally when she sat Hacker Paul Biteng tries to
down for an interview when she got back, we caught the little gaze and the teach our caveman boss all the
intermittent laughter. We knew she was smart, so we had to ask the kind of complicated computer tricks
questions that would make her think, or risk losing her. All in all, we didnt he knows, while in actuality,
lose her, and we get to print the best conversation we can have with a woman Allan just wants to know how to
(and one of the best shoots weve had to date). fancy up his FB account.
If it wasnt workif, say, we were just a normal guy who happened to be
in the company of a famous female celebrity and we had to make small talk,
Id say we did good. If we ever had dreams of going any further like, say,
marrying her, like what Ali Khatibi did with Christine Reyes, and Lloyd Lee
with Shamcey Supsup (Star Catcher p. 30), Id say we could get there if we put
in extra work, even if this guy is interesting doesnt mean jack shit. Ali and
Lloyd give us some tips on how to land a celebrity based on their experience,
and were throwing in the gaze-and-laugh detail for good measure.
Theres one other thing Id like to tell you about our time with Rhian. She
called us on the phone. It was because there were some things we failed to ask,
and it was our mistake. But no mattershe called.
If you hold a woman in conversation long enough that she calls you because
there were some things she still wanted to talk about, you have her.

the reality of 9/11 in an
interconnected world

of how the crew from the

This structure of
a time-travel reboot
has proven to be so
successful that other

This man obviously loves basketball.
And as fate would have it, Baldwin
found himself in a country that lives
and breathes basketball.
It is this same man who will be
leading Gilas Pilipinas bid to achieve
what basketball-loving Filipino fans
have long been waiting for: seeing the
national team play in the Olympics.
The 58-year-old Baldwins
basketball-coaching resum began
long before he landed a job in the
Philippines. An American with a New
Zealand lineage, Baldwin coached one
of the local ball clubs in New Zealand,
the Hawkes Bay Hawks. He went
on to be the head coach of the New
Zealand mens national basketball
team, the Tall Blacks. The rest of the
world began to notice Baldwin when
New Zealand made it to the 2002 FIBA
World Championship.
After several stints with the
Lebanon and Jordan national squads,
Baldwin was hired as a consultant for
Gilas Pilipinas for their bid in the 2013
FIBA Asia Championship in Manila.
The national squad finished second to
book a seat at the 2014 FIBA World
Cup, the first time the Philippines
played in the prestigious tournament
since 1978.
Baldwin has since settled in the
Philippines after being named head
coach of Gilas Pilipinas in 2015. It was
the same year when Gilas took second
place in the FIBA Asia Championship
after bowing to China in the finals. On
the side, Baldwin is also a consultant
for Talk N Text in the PBA, and the
head coach of the Ateneo Blue Eagles
in the UAAP.
Ultimately, however, Filipinos
understand that Baldwin came over
for one main task: to break the
drought. Despite the countrys passion
for basketball, the Philippines has yet
to qualify for the Olympics since 1972.
This month, the Philippines will try
to book a ticket to Rio as the beloved
Gilas Pilipinas competes in the FIBA
Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

is for Rhian, and the signature of her
performances, which is strength in
vulnerability.
Like one of the pivotal scenes in
her lesbian-comes-of-age soap, The
Rich Mans Daughter, where she
plays Jade Tanchingco, willful but
overprotected, the only daughter of a
wealthy Chinese clan, uber-traditional,
and unwelcoming of fringe views.
Jade becomes infatuated and falls
for the mestiza and doe-eyed Althea
(Glaiza de Castro), self-made and sure
of herself, if still hesitant, like Jade, of
her newfound desires for someone on
the same gender fence.
The scene: inside the restroom
where Jade has gone to collect herself.
Shes just about to exit but spots
Althea washing up and checking
her face in the mirror. Jade is forced
to wait and confront her hesitation,
unwilling to unchain her emotions
and yet yearning to engage by
simply opening her bathroom stall.
Everything could change; nothing
might change.
The conflict, the emotions that
play on her face is a treasure. It is
precious in not knowing what it
wants to be.
I agree that vulnerability is a
strength, says Rhian. And I will be
the first to admit that I was bad when
I started all this [acting]. But now that
Ive gotten some depth in [performing]
it is where I set free all the things I
cant be and I cant do. Acting to me
is freedom. Every second between the
words action and cut is freedom. If
youve ever fallen for someone, but
youre with somebody else? Thats how
it feels. You cant act upon that in the
real world, but you can in movies.
All the bad, all the forbidden, all the
taboo things I wish I could do I put in
acting.
Its the kind of honesty and on-
cam willingness to be uncomfortable
that has feted her with nominations
for many of her roles, including one

Rhian wrote on her IG post.

Ive started to just listen to myself. For

In Ifugao culture, girls would
ritually receive tattoos as they entered
womanhood, while men would get new
ones as they piled on achievements. The
Scorpion and the Hawk, the animals that
now adorn Rhians right upper thigh
are now her symbols of womanhood, the
sigils of her feral nature leashed and
ready to be tapped when needed. They are
a means of control, tools for argument
and negotiation with the world.
Ive realized that, even if you follow
somebody elses advice on what you
should look like, then youll have to
look in the mirror every day and be sad
because everyone else wins and you lose.

ve always wanted to write about my depression

but have just never really figured out why people
would want to read my story. in a generation
with so many people wanting to express
themselves in different, new, and exciting ways,
what makes my story so special and worth
spending precious time on? can you believe i

have sold their souls to the demons of hugot
and relatability in exchange for viral readership.

somewhat relatable but still keep my pretentious
roots intact, and for some reason, i chose to get

this is what i got: its kind of comforting to
know that some people are more fucked up in
the head than i am. i was different. My way of
handling depression was different from his (and,
with my conceit, yours, too). i wasn't whiny. i
wasn't papansin. i wasn't inconsiderate. i didn't
tell people they were fucked up, when all they
needed to hear was "its okay." i always liked
to think that i was living life with a handicap
and that it was harder compared with other
peoples lives and that i handled things better. writing in that state just felt so right even FA L L I N g O v E R

when microbreweries
and craft beers first
made their way to
the philippines, they
presented an alternative
to binge drinking pretty
much the same thing.
at the same time, this
new industry also posed
a certain dilemma: the
economic kind.
case in point: the first
craft beers had the price
of hard liquor. and in a
country where getting
drunk is somewhat
deemed a luxury, people
get more alcoholic
fulfillment chugging
three bottles of the local
brand than trying out
and sipping one of the
expensive ales.
although in reality,
this type of beer could
come at a low price, if not
for free. proof of which
is a growing circle of
local beer connoisseurs
that has been pushing
for cheap, flavorful beer
through a decade-old
industry. most of them
coming from overseas,
home brewers have been
at it for years now and
are actually encouraging
more people to get into
the venture.
this not only adds
to brewed options, but
also creates competition,
which translates to lower
craft beer costs. for the
brewers themselves,
the brotherhood united
by a common passion
flourishes and that
means more good beer
for everyone.

you find yourself alone with the office crush three cubicles from you,
