    The Philippines’ Best Fashion Magazine

    Literature has taught us that every great story begins with a compelling beginning. Whether it is an imposing “In the beginning” or a more romantic “Once upon a time,” stories, however they play out, all start from a seed of an idea. Hope, intent, and a course of action will take root, eventually setting the narrative in motion, exciting readers to no end. But as thrilling as it is to pore through until the eventual end, when it comes down to it, we will always find ourselves looking back to page one, constantly flipping to the present and maybe taking a peek at the inevitable future, just so you know, to gain proper perspective. And for what One Mega Group is today, it all started from a dream and its steely, tenacious dreamer, Sari Yap.

    Telva

    When she was a graduate student in Pamplona, Spain, Sari Yap chanced upon Telva, a local fashion magazine for women. The cover she described had a woman with just enough makeup to highlight her natural features, a neat but effortless hairstyle and was photographed without any filters or gels. The cover girl had a warm skin tone, the kind that made you feel good. She described a cover that was relatable but aspirational at the same time. She grew obsessed with Telva, and that would serve as the inspiration for her dream of bringing a fashion publication to the Philippines. Tasked with completing a thesis, she thought, “I want to make a fashion magazine for the Filipina.” Sari graduated from Universidad de Navarra in Spain and took home much more than she brought. She brought a vision that would later teach women how to dress and live a meaningful life and look good while doing it.

    Despite having a vision, Sari did not have a name or a brand that would allow it to come to life yet. She also had limited resources and experience. Instead of being burdened by her challenges, Sari boldly chose to embrace her ambitions. This led to her deciding on the name for her magazine: it was a short but impactful name that would mean big, large, classic, modern all at the same time. Sari did not want to be limited to fashion. She also did not want a Filipino name because she already had hopes of appealing to a global audience.

    MEGA 1992

    Like all magazines, MEGA needed a leader and an Editor-in-Chief. Despite having zero publishing background, Sari thought, “How could I be the Editor-in-Chief if the only thing I had was a vision for women,” she shared. “Heck, it’s my magazine, I can do whatever I want.” And so she named herself the first Editor-in-Chief of MEGA. To ensure its publication, Sari called on Liza Ilarde who later became Editor-in-Chief to gate-keep its editorial point of view. She also enlisted Lorraine Belmonte to guard the visuals and art direction. Sari, Liza, and Lorraine became the triumvirate, the formidable three of the Philippine fashion industry. In February of 1992, Sari published her maiden issue with model Gerone Olocrisimo on the cover, her first legacy from her illustrious career.

    The months and years to come would only become increasingly difficult. Despite being able to publish a maiden issue along with other compelling issues, the difficulty came in financially, sustaining the high cost of printing and production and truly living up to the words written on every spine of the magazine. How can a magazine possibly survive without fuel from advertisers?

    Sari’s response was simple: if you make excellent and innovative content, and put it in the right place where the biggest audience could see it, the advertisers can’t help but take notice. She was right. Suddenly, MEGA moved the office from the original chicken farm where the only phone they used was the one by the nearby sari-sari store to an actual office complete with all the equipment they needed. They would receive phone calls and pretend to have an editorial, circulation, advertising, and finance department. Sari recalls that she would love it when she would receive calls that asked for a fax tone, this meant that a purchase order from an advertiser would be sent. This happened on the daily and would be Sari’s second legacy, the woman that made a business out of photographs and prose laced with integrity and excellence.

    Then and today, she created the thickest magazines in the country, which were divided equally between editorial content and advertising. Even with milestones marked and lengthy expositions charted, it will always distill to the reader, whose perspectives will always shift. As the needs and desires of the audience change, Sari Yap once said, so does the multimedia company she built from the ground up. “We will change and lead if need be.”

    Sari V. Yap kept on pushing the possibilities forward. Other than publishing magazines, she wanted to reach an even larger, broader audience, which would soon be her next legacy. While completing her print portfolio, she was already envisioning products and Filipino talents that could compete globally, as well as TV shows and fashion documentaries. Championing local talent was part of her mission and vision. She wanted to find emerging fashion designers and give them a platform to showcase their talent, creativity, and passion, so she launched the MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC) in 1994.

    YDC

    Even before Project Runway, there was the YDC, the most prestigious competition for up-and-coming fashion designers. Established creatives such as Josie Natori, French Vogue editor Annie Flanders and Harper’s Bazaar and V Magazine’s Stephen Gan would select the finest young talent who had local flair and global appeal. Industry giants such as Furne One, Rajo Laurel, Mich Dulce, Ivarluski Aseron, Chris Diaz, and Gian Romano would soon become alumni of Sari’s YDC. YDC would later be viewed by a larger audience as a TV show on cable television.

    In its commitment to Filipino fashion, MEGA introduced the MEGA Fashion Awards in 2001. Here, the best of the best, as well as of the thrilling emergence of talent was honored, recognizing the contributions to local fashion and beauty such as Inno Sotto, Cesar Lupo, Cecile Zamora, Jun De Leon, Henri Calayag, Patrick Rosas, Borgy Manotoc, Jo Ann Bitagcol, and Diether Ocampo.

    MEGA Fashion Awards Magazine

    In 2011, Sari wanted to shift the spotlight to the models, photographers, makeup artists, fashion stylists and hair stylists because they, too, deserved center stage. This is when she launched MEGA Fashion Crew (MFC), which she hosted together with top designer Avel Bacudio and perma-it girl, Raya Mananquil. Despite several years passing, contestants from MFC remain to be some of the brightest today including photographers, Niko Villegas, Dookie Ducay and Jerick Sanchez, fashion stylist Angelo Ramirez de Cartagena, makeup artists Jelly Eugenio and Amanda Padilla, hair stylist Katchie Mejias, and models Monika Sta. Maria and Chelsea Robato. These individuals along with over 160 MEGA-worthy talents are working professionals in the industry today.

    Her global aspirations did not stop with her hit TV shows for all the brands. This time she wanted to laud Filipinos who were excelling in foreign lands and at home. Together with Tim Yap, she created MEGA’s signature event, the annual MEGA Pinoy Pride Ball. At this world-class event, Sari and her 200 employees would join forces to give recognition to the work of designers, inventors, journalists, bloggers, musicians and other Filipinos from various industries. In later years, One MEGA Group would gather Filipinos for the #NewPH photo campaign, a coming together of Filipinos on Independence Day to pledge a promise to make the Philippines an improved country.
