The anniversary also spotlighted Lifestyle Asia’s redefined view of modern luxury—an approach rooted in meaning and cultural depth. Apples Aberin, Vice President for Lifestyle Media Brands, outlined the strategic direction behind the magazine’s refresh: “Lifestyle Asia has always been one of our most enduring pillars. But as the world changes, so must we,” she noted. “The refresh was our response: redefining luxury as intention, meaning, and a life grounded in values.”
Aberin also noted that La Fiesta Manila embodied this renewed perspective, celebrating the richness of Filipino identity and those who embody contemporary Filipino luxury. She likewise acknowledged AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC) Chairman and CEO Archie G. Carrasco for his continued guidance and leadership throughout the brand’s evolution.
Aberin and Tinga also recognized the magazine’s refreshed-era cover stars and unveiled the upcoming December issue featuring Jessica “Jica” Sy, later leading a celebratory toast with Sy, Bea Elizalde, Monica Lorenzo, and Lifestyle Asia Arts & Culture Editor Chino Hernandez.
The celebration affirmed Lifestyle Asia’s 38-year legacy of editorial excellence and its influential role in documenting and shaping Philippine luxury and culture. As the brand moves forward, it continues to honor its heritage while inspiring new narratives that reflect the evolving tastes and aspirations of its discerning audience.
