ON THE COVER
Very special thanks to Rhian Ramos and Gaby Dela Merced, for being our cover subjects for this special issue, and helping us in our continuing efforts to call for justice for the murders of Alexis Tioseco and Nika Bohinc. Rhian was glad to be of help, and described their deaths as “a tragic loss.” And as Gaby said of Alexis and Nika in her interview, “They both lived to make a difference, but it’s our turn to make our own contribution.”
And here is a note from our editor.

Sticky Fingers: Jenna Genio is subjected to the test
Posted by Erwin Romulo at July 9th, 2010
Artist and photographer Jenna Genio is undoubtedly a provocateur—but in the best sense of the word. She readily admits to being diagnosed as being a ‘borderline personality” as well as being bipolar or having acute manic depression. With the current debate on the forthcoming edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or the DSM V as detailed in my article for the Philippines Free Press here, we decided to subject this mercurial but prodigious talent to our own evaluation.
Formulated by British psychologist Hans Jürgen Eysenck, it was used in the 70′s for admission into psychiatric wards or for assessments of mental patients, although it’s since fallen out of fashion in psychiatry circles. It was given to cult author J.G. Ballard (Crash, Empire of the Sun, The Atrocity Exhibition) for a documentary film made on him. You can view the film here. In the original test, you can only answer yes or no (that also accounts to it’s validity being questioned). For Jenna, we allowed her to elaborate a little if she wished.

Seems like a coincidence that when we shot Ornusa 5 years ago, she was doing the same thing with her arms. See here.

Leila de Lima as one of our 52 Women on Top
Posted by Jayvee at June 24th, 2010
In June 2009 we ranked then CHR Chairperson Leila de Lima as one of UNO Magazine’s 52 Women on Top. Today she takes seat in the Department of Justice under incoming President Benigno Aquino III. if you have the cover below, she’s there.
For those who can’t read the text:
Leila de Lima
Chairperson, Commission of Human Rights
Despite not being known for human rights before her appointment, Commission of Human Rights chairperson Leila de Lima wasted no time in disproving her critics, accusing both the Justice Secretary and the military of abuses in power. Decrying “institutional cowardice,” she’s not backing down against Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and his alleged Davao Death Squad―proving that Hell hath no fury like a woman sworn in (to do a job).
