Let Me Entertain You

Shot by Anna Hyde; Styling by Mads Adrias

This is UNO Magazine. The cover picture is almost black and white and there are no tips on how to lead better lives and promises of secret sex positions. You dont buy it for low brow entertainment while sitting in the toilet or waiting for your turn to be treated for oral disease. You buy it because you think like Erwin Romulo, see the world like Juan Caguicla and you look like Ramon Bautista.

Welcome to the November issue of UNO magazine. As a typical Filipino, November for you is just a month that makes December exciting. The first days of the month are just to celebrate and recognize that death is a reality but the rest of the time is spent counting down to Christmas. We at UNO see this as a perfect time to feed you with information for you to continue being interesting person. In the interest of Philippine modern culture and art, we bring you a gallery of pictures chronicling the wonderful life of future National Artist, Joey de Leon; the return of legendary Pinoy comic icon Cesar Asar; and the great Edgar Mortiz about being a Bad Banana! All in these pages! Robbed of basic necessities and hope for the future, one thing every Filipino should keep is his culture. This is why UNO created this issue as a channel to reach our countrymen and it is crucial that you get one.

To bring forth media excellence to our downtrodden countrymen, UNO has pooled Yvette Tan, Juan Caguicla, Anna Hyde, Tricia Gosingtian, Mads Adrias, Knell Fabiana and of course me, Ramon Bautista to create an article about being a superb Filipino man. All that creative power is kept in check by France Pinzon, Erwin Romulo, Shawn Yao and the hotel man. It was life changing to make, and I think it’s also life changing to read.

I am deeply honored and grateful that UNO has made me part of this month’s issue. UNO has uncovered people for what they are behind magazine articles and put what they have found on their magazine. I find myself lucky to have been one of their dissections. You are lucky too, because you have 200 pesos to buy this magazine.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Love,
Ramon Bautista

Not yet the standalone magazine app we’re hoping for, but UNO Online looks sexy on the iPad.

Ciara Marasigan: Let Them Eat Cake

Article By Aldus Santos

“Let them eat cake,” Marie Antoinette was rumored to have said once in response to complaints that the peasants she lorded over “had no more bread.” Pretty damn cold, I know. However, this was never established, and Jean-Jacques Rosseau must have been smoking something, or he was alluding to an entirely different person. The point I’m trying to make is that a luxurious life is a distorted reality, if reality was to be seen in terms of universal nakedness: that, underneath all the ruffles and pearls (or ironic “message” T-shirts and slim-fit denims, to the contemporary world), it’s all genitalia. Robert Zimmerman also said something to this effect in “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”: “Even the president of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked.” In fleeting moments, however—when one shrugs off the crassness and occasional insensitivity—people like Marie Antoinette are walking canvases that are just amazing to look at.

Tanya Yuquimpo: Cat Power

For someone who supposedly takes a while to open up to people, former Kitty Girl Tanya Yuquimpo is remarkably up front with UNO about art, music, style and how men should act.

By Jessie Grinter

Things rarely, if ever, go according to plan. Someone is always getting called in to tinker with the script. Extend the chorus. Add a bridge. Whatever.

“Yeah, I left the Kitty Girls about a month ago. I didn’t think it was about the music anymore.”

That’s right. Tanya Yuquimpo is flying solo, and loving it.

We meet at the lovely Attivo restaurant in Makati. Stereotypes and preconceptions disintegrate as we share lunch and discuss everything under the sun. The revelations and revolutions keep on spinning.
