They’re not your cookie-cutter type of beauty queens because – after all – these nine (9) are some of the popular and stardom-bound actresses in Philippine showbiz these days. Check them out in the June 2018 issue of Mega Magazine with the following pitch:
Call us extremely ambitious or just plain crazy, but we do like shooting for the stars—literally and figuratively.
This month, as pride soars high through the tangible waving flag, it also streams in torrents within our blood, a true indicative of our deep-seated nationalism. As with tradition, we build this issue around Pinoy Pride, unabashed, unequivocal and unapologetic. Serving as sturdy pillars to this homage to the country, we present our annual #TheNewPH awards featuring a diverse mix of individuals who not only decorate the nation with milestones, but those that inspire a wave of change as well.
Of course, the piece-de-resistance is a coming together unlike any other. In an age where contemporaries are pitted against each other, we enact a joining of forces unseen in the much talked about #MakingMEGAreunion. Featuring the stars of the #MakingMEGA series, Erich Gonzalez, Julia Barretto, Maja Salvador, Elisse Joson, Gabbi Garcia, Janella Salvador, Kisses Delavin, Maymay Entrata and Nadine Lustre star in this glittering constellation all swathed in the ethereal and fantasy-worthy looks of the icon and genius himself, Furne One, who himself is celebrating a milestone in the land he calls home.
Pride is whatever you choose to define it as, but at its core, and as we deem it to be, it is a steadfast persistence at what drives you on the daily, making it worthwhile for yourself and the rest of this great nation we stand on and (still) believe in.
