This February, UNO falls in love with Heart Evangelista, our stunningly beautiful cover girl. Inside, QC Mayor Herbert Bautista talks to us about the one that got away (none other than Lea Salonga, as it turns out); we tell the true story behind Danica Magpantay, who recently became the first Filipina to win the Ford Supermodel of the World contest; and we eat chocolate with the lovely and charming Chia Hollman Yulo.
Also: Eight of our favorite women tell us what men should know about love. We feature exclusive interviews with international bands The National and Anberlin, and give the lowdown on the upcoming album from local sensation Taken By Cars. We interview our favorite creative couples, from Arnold and Cynthia Arre to Pete Lacaba and Marra Lanot. We talk about the devastating loss of the one you love, with Rene Saguisag and Risa Hontiveros. We kick off our kick-ass advice column for the confused: Gangster of Love.
We also feature two stories about love, with writing by Luis Katigbak and photography by Kidlat de Guia. And finally, we learn all about love from acclaimed filmmaker Lav Diaz, who gets the last word.

A behind the scenes look of the video shoot of Kamikazee’s latest single, ‘Hanggang Tingin’.
Words and photos by Denise J. Mallabo
When I arrived in a studio somewhere in Cubao around 11am, the video shoot for Kamikazee’s latest single ‘Hanggang Tingin’ was already in full swing. As far as experience goes, this was an early call time for musicians since gigs would always finish in the wee hours of the morning. Never the less the production and the band wasted no time. Production designers Wiji Lacsamana and Hannah Liongoren did an awesome job turning maybe two pieces of plywood into a whole house! Complete with Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix posters and other nostalgic fixtures. The music video’s director Denise Castillo said it was based on the hit sitcom That 70’s Show, which made Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace popular. “Kumuha kami ng scenes from the show na favorite nung boys tapos gumawa kami ng sarili naming version,” said Denise. (In fact the production team behind the shoot had to borrow a red Mustang instead a Vista Cruiser which was not available.) “May parts din na may disco scene. For the performance mala KISS naman yung dating pero medyo uuhhmmm jologs ha ha!”
Every Kamikazee video that’s been released, there’s always something peculiar to look forward to—be it the boisterous dance sequences or the unexpected drama but personally. Personally, I’d go for the cameos. In the past, they’ve had stars like Rica Peralejo, Kaye Abad, Ping Medina and band friends like Parokya ni Edgar and Concrete Sam. This time they went all out. For this one, there’s comedian Nova Villa doing a pseudo make-out scene with drummer and UNO illustrator Allan Burdeos. Folk singer Freddie Aguilar took time off to do a quick scene with the boys who were star struck upon seeing him enter the room. UNO girl and Turbo Goth front woman Sarah Gaugler appeared as the “Jackie” from That 70s Show. There are still more familiar faces but I’ll let you find the rest (Clue: there’s a contributing photographer and a Managing Editor of a certain magazine who dressed in authentic jeproks outfits, dancing there…somewhere) .
The song ‘Hanggang Tingin’ can be found in Kamikazee’s latest album Long Time Noisy under Universal Records. It’s out now in your favorite record bars; do grab a copy of the original album, the entire packaging is definitely worth it.
