OMGI BRANDS Lifestyle Asia
Beyond Luxury Living
Lifestyle Asia is the first luxury publication in the country, prefacing the boom of glossy magazines over 30 years ago. Founded in 1987 by Exequiel B. Garcia, MEGA became its competition when the fashion magazine was launched in 1992.
Today, the brand continues to chronicle the lives and passions of society’s most important and exciting– going beyond the faces, delving into heritage, culture, fashion, art, food, business and the digital ecosphere.
According to Sari Yap, the moment she acquired Lifestyle Asia was the moment she felt that One MEGA Group was starting to become an empire. Sari soon stepped in as its new Editor-in-Chief, which was completely new for her at the time. Sari became responsible for reinventing Lifestyle Asia into what it is today, a magazine that goes beyond material wealth. She believed that:
“You didn’t need to come from heritage, you could create your own heritage.”
– Sari Yap
Under Anna Sobrepeña’s leadership as Editor-in-Chief, Lifestyle Asia redefined the magazine’s tagline, “living at its finest” to look beyond material wealth and embrace generosity and giving back.
Sobrepeña’s contributions to Lifestyle Asia for eleven years has made the title one of the leading luxury magazines in the country. During her tenure, Lifestyle Asia emerged multi-awarded, winning top honors in various award giving bodies such as the Philippine Quill Awards numerous times.
In February 2019, Dong Ronquillo released his maiden issue of Lifestyle Asia after stepping in as the new Editor-in-Chief. Through his guidance, each monthly edition of Lifestyle Asia provided stories on premium dining spaces, leisure destinations, art, culture, and the accouterments of refined and gracious living.
He propelled the team to create a fresh, younger look and reflect the theme of “living a meaningful life” through the magazine’s content. Along with the new message, a lighter, more modern aesthetic was decided upon for the luxury magazine.
In August 2022, one of the country’s most prominent jewelers is named as Lifestyle Asia’s newest Editor-in-Chief. A chronicler of luxury and opulence, she’s none other than the renowned Candy Dizon. No stranger to the scene, her works have been spotted countless times in the magazine. Today, she takes over as its chief.
Candy has a strong determination to bring the publication to the global stage while upholding the brand’s 30-year mission — to provide meaningful content that goes “beyond luxury living”. She also ushers a fresh vision that speaks to the emerging youth, unraveling people, experiences, and stories yet to be explored.
Today, Kerry Tinga takes over as Lifestyle Asia’s new Editor-in-Chief. Kerry is committed to redefining luxury for the next generation, engaging discerning readers and inspiring them to explore what it means to be leaders with purpose, passion, and influence in today’s rapidly evolving world.
Her media career began at 20, when she wrote a weekly column for Manila Bulletin Lifestyle’s Youth Section while still in university. By 23, she had become the editor of the Youth Section, further solidifying her reputation for connecting with forward-thinking audiences. She later broadened her expertise through roles in corporate communications for one of the Philippines’ largest conglomerates and as a lecturer in Purposive Communication at MINT College.
Kerry holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from University College London, where she cultivated a global perspective and an interdisciplinary approach. She was also part of the first cohort of the Ramon Magsaysay Awards Foundation’s NextGen Leadership Program, collaborating with Southeast Asia’s promising young leaders and drawing inspiration from the region’s renowned change makers.
Every new issue features the lives of the the most influential and affluent individuals who have their respective philanthropies and advocacies that contribute to making the world a better place. This is the characteristic that distinguishes Lifestyle Asia from other luxury media brands. Lifestyle Asia redefines luxury living with utmost class and sophistication while continuously raising standards and reinventing Philippine society.
In 2015, Lifestyle Asia released its first coffee table book entitled RSVP Lifestyle Asia which featured tips on entertaining at home from the country’s top hosts and hostesses. RSVP Lifestyle Asia showcased tablescapes, recipes, and entertaining ideas for exceptional dining experiences. The book featured striking imagery, homemade recipes, and tips on entertaining guests from one’s home. The first book of Lifestyle Asia would soon be followed by more including the second edition of RSVP Lifestyle Asia and Lifestyle Asia Home & Away.
In the 2017 Philippine Quill Awards, Lifestyle Asia’s Editor-in-Chief at the time, Anna Sobrepeña and Assistant Editor Sara Siguion-Reyna accepted the magazine’s 6th Philippine Quill award. Winning in the Journalism Division was the magazine’s October 2016 cover story on Vice President Leni Robredo entitled, The Rise of a Stateswoman.
Redefining Luxury
Lifestyle Asia, the pioneering luxury publication in the Philippines, was the vanguard of the glossy magazine boom over three decades ago. Under the leadership of esteemed editors-in-chief such as One Mega Group founder Sari Yap, Anna Sobrepeña, Dong Ronquillo, and Candy Dizon, the magazine became the definitive guide to the most thrilling events and influential figures in Philippine society. Yet, its scope extends far beyond that, offering in-depth explorations into heritage, culture, fashion, art, food, business, and the ever-expanding digital landscape.
This 2025, the publication underwent a significant refresh, ushering in a new generation of editors led by the dynamic Kerry Tinga, the magazine’s new Chief of Editorial Content. This revitalized vision redefines modern luxury through a fresh perspective, one that embraces a multidimensional approach to reflect the evolving values and desires of today’s discerning audience.
At its foundation are five distinct, yet interconnected pillars, which shape the magazine’s new sections: Self, which delves into wellness and the pursuit of personal growth; Style, celebrating individuality through fashion and design; Experiences, immersing readers in the rich worlds of food, travel, and culture; Currents, navigating the ever-changing landscapes of business, politics, technology, and global affairs; and Culture, which explores shared narratives and collective meaning.
This comprehensive framework marks a departure from traditional conceptions of luxury, shifting the focus from a mere destination to an intimate, ever-evolving journey—luxury not as a singular achievement, but as a personal and dynamic experience.

The Refresh Issue
Lifestyle Asia’s Refresh Issue, titled La Dolce Vita, was launched in April 2025, marking the bold new editorial direction under the leadership of Kerry Tinga and her dynamic team. This issue not only signified an exciting new chapter in the magazine’s rich, over three-decade history but also represented a return to its print roots, a milestone in the magazine’s evolution.
The cover of first issue was graced by Rocio Zobel, who, beyond her playful fashion fit checks and massive social media presence, shared with the magazine her more contemplative vision for the future. At 22, she looked towards Manila’s limitless possibilities and envisioned building her dreams in the country where her family’s legacy took root.
The new Lifestyle Asia honors its heritage while welcoming fresh perspectives from emerging entrepreneurs, artists, and young leaders who are making their mark across diverse industries. Taking a multidimensional approach to luxury, the magazine is structured around five key sections: Self, Style, Experiences, Currents, and Culture. This holistic framework reflects a broader understanding of luxury, acknowledging that for today’s generation, it transcends conventional definitions to become a deeply personal journey of freedom and discovery.
Notable stories in the maiden issue include health and wellness features spotlighting the emerging Pilates revolution and the TikTok “Word of the Year,” Manifesting; an in-depth exploration of archival fashion and its passionate collectors; a showcase of winning designs from TernoCon 2025; lifestyle stories on young art collectors and their home decor choices; a spotlight on natural wines, including key buzzwords; essays on AI surpassing human abilities, the history of The Fort Strip, and the fairy tale love story of Ma Mon Luk, the creator of mami noodles; and profiles of prominent society figures such as Foodee Global Concepts COO Eric Thomas Dee, three-term Representative of Pangasinan’s 4th District Toff De Venecia, and Anchor Land Chairman Charles Stewart Lee.
Lifestyle Asia invites its new readers to la dolce vita—a new era where the magazine offers a comprehensive 360-degree media experience. From quarterly print editions to daily digital content and event activations, it reaffirms its position as the definitive voice of luxury lifestyle in the Philippines while embracing contemporary sensibilities and engaging with a new, growing audience.
