CARLOS RECOMMENDS!
ROGUE MAGAZINE...I'm not plugging this magazine simply because I am an editor at large (I help them select topics for articles) nor for helping conceptualize their launch at the BMW tent last Thursday. I am plugging this magazine simply because I think it's the best magazine in Manila today. It's got interesting articles about interesting people and clear, crisp photos. The basics for any good read. Some of the features for this month: Land of the Rising Son, a profile on Bong Marcos by David Nugent (with great shots from the Malacanang archives (below) courtesy of Jeremy Barnes), an article on the strange and uncharmed life of Rene Knecht (Manila's fallen party pretty boy of the 1970's) by Jose Mari Ugarte, Solenne Heussaff's final photo pictorial before her departure for Paris (above) by Gino Caguicla, plus features on scuba diving at Raja Ampat, Radioactive Sago Project, vacationing in Nicaragua, Cigars, and what's best and what's next in the local scene. Certainly worth dropping Php180.00 for. Grab their maiden issue now on any local bookstore or magazine stand.
Strangest comment I heard about Rogue: "I love it! It doesn't seem like a local magazine." Thank you. I think.
And thank you to Lalon for the listing. Cheers!

I hate that. Why is it that if something is great, we doubt that it could have been done in the Philippines. We should learn to give ourselves more credit.
Must erase from my mind that image of Ferdie holding his stomach in for the photo.......
must erase the image of Ferdie as a leftie in swim trunks
Omg. Was Marcos on steroids?
Is that an IV drip on his left shin?
not another lifestyle magazine! should we really waste more paper on the same old elite that get featured in all the other lifestyle magazines we have? just how many lifestyle magazines does a third world country need?
Yikes, Marcos pole legs!
Apparently this third world country needs more than six. Only natural for any country with a rising aspirational class I guess? In fairness to Rogue, it's much more critical than the other magazines. Read it first. I swear it's interesting.
Thanks for the head's up. Will grab a copy.
Elegant cover I should say. :) And man, Macoy's picture freaked me out. Haha.
it's sad that a new magazine filipinos should be proud of has on the cover for its maiden issue a filipina model with foreign blood on her way to paris. im wondering what exactly is there for the rest of the nation to be proud of.
sorry but your cover makes it hard to believe rogue is a serious and "critical" magazine.
Anonymous,
Would you buy a magazine with a Filipina with dark skin and flat nose on the cover? No, I didn't think so.
As a Filipino, I'm proud that we survive as a nation without working as hard as the rest of the world :-)
I went to every magazine shop and bookstore in Megamall and it was nowhere to be found. Baka pang Rockwell lang! hehehe...
Methinks anonymouse up there is the same one trying to accuse carlos of getting kickbacks on the last rizal post.
LM
It's the maiden issue and it features Bong (Bong) Marcos?!?! And titles the article "Land of Rising Son"?
Shame.
We had twenty years of the Marcoses, enough of them already.
I was appalled at the feature on Bong(bong) Marcos and the family. I guess the publishers would like to de-sensitize us from the horrors the Marcoses inflicted on us.
I cannot imagine what prompted the publishers and editors to agree to that press release from the Marcos family. I did not read the rest of the articles anymore. If for that reason alone, I will not be buying the next copy of the magazine despite your recommendation.

Carlos has always been a sipsip apologist to those Marcoses. What were you expecting?
And you aren't any different either, Meg. Your reaction shows that you can be just as stupid as he is. Can't believe you even bought one.
Would you buy a magazine with a Filipina with dark skin and flat nose on the cover?
I would.
Nevertheless, I'll try to get myself a copy of this mag. Kudos, Carlos!
please don't make bastos comments. i just heard about the magazine. and everyone's talking how bull it is. anu gusto niyo pare-pareho lang ng magazine ang binabasa natin? where's the fun in that and where's the growth all of you fast forward pinoys are saying if we have all the same glossies?
hey, its a new magazine. I would buy one and read so i can have an opinion and not just some comment. i just thought the cover probably ranks top 5, the best so far this year, basta maganda. good choice. Great Job! Can't wait to buy your zine!
I have to agree, this magazine is fantastic! I loved the articles, especially the one of Rene Knecht and Gutsy Tuasons articles on his dives in Raja Ampat.
Fabulous, I mean whatever, if you're not gonna read a productive book, you might as well have a productive magazine. And this magazine is it.
So for those of you who have so much to say about this magazine and how its just another magazine, then go grab a book, maybe Harry Potter is a more scholastic alternative for you.
this may be a very late comment but I love Rogue..it is definitely the best magazine of its kind the country today. I just don't like the "wire section" where they feature "society" people.. i simply hate that section please feature more interesting events than having GP Reyes and former salesclerk Jennir Eperson... please..
Meowr! Table for two and a saucer of milk please.
Yeah. I loathe society sections. But believe it or not, it's one of the most popular sections.
If anything. Just think of it as an opportunity to do exactly that. Say ew! to all the society folk. Perhaps Rogue really put it in there for you to mock these folks.
Not that I have anything against Jenni and JP. I say nothing about them at all. They have done nothing to me.
So far. :o)
Carlos, can you give me the publisher's info/contact no? I am a magazine dealer and want to carry this title.
