Moon of Desire, has become somewhat of an object of mystery.
From her curious beginnings as a "social media candy," she became a model and showbiz star.
She's beautiful and sexy, yes, but what is it really about her that has made fans out of onlookers?
The April 2014 issue of Esquire Philippines seeks the woman behind the projection—the woman who they say is "a creature of her own making" and that turned into "an inexplicable phenomenon of desire."
ESQUIRE PHILIPPINES, APRIL 2014. This current release of the magazine offers a big issue that covers the big issues: God, Sex, Death, Power, Love, and Pain.
The contributors are the current authorities on these matters: business writer A.R. Samson writes an exposé on money; Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Undersecretary Manuel L. Quezon III pens a piece on power; filmmaker Lav Diaz writes a brief scene from real life; and music icon Ely Buendia creates a love song especially for Esquire.
Also exclusive this month is Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares, who defends herself that it’s not like she’s out to be mean, but rather, she’s just doing her job.
Plus Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista talks about getting advice from Vice President Jejomar Binay, the first time he met President Nonoy Aquino, and why he thinks he’s ready to settle down.
Writer Eric Melendez also talks about growing up with his grandfather in Fort Bonifacio, and recalls memories of guilt, resilience and death.
Indie favorite Alex Medina also slips his fashion on, as he showcases the essential white shirt, in an editorial inspired by Mike de Leon’s psychodrama film Itim.
And, Esquire also recreates the hypothetical last meals of six local personalities, with descriptions of repasts opulent and intimate, calorie-laden, and laced with nostalgia.
All this and more, this month in the April 2014 issue of Esquire Philippines, out in major bookstore and newsstands nationwide.
