covers for september

[maan ilustre]

as per my discussions with Erwin, our covers for September issue are the following:

RHIAN RAMOS, ANNE CURTIS, ANGEL LOCSIN - the cover girls will have 1 cover each, but the content of the magazine will be the same. These cover girls will be taking a stand on the issue of Alexis' death. They will be holding a banner saying "Justice for Alexis." Inside girls include Bianca Gonzalez and Sarah Meier, all doing the same thing. This issue isn't about death, but it is a celebration of life.

FOR PLDT - we can't do the concept for this issue since this isn't the issue dedicated to rhian only. what we can do is another solo rhian cover in the succeeding months. BUT, please do get them in the magazine since Rhian is their endorser as well. 

the September issue is a tribute to our late writer Alexis Tioseco. the following are facts about him:

Alexis Tioseco (February 11, 1981 - September 1, 2009) was a Filipino Canadian film critic and a film professor at the University of Asia and the Pacific. Recognized as an advocate of Southeast Asian cinema^[1][2] and as Philippine cinema's most passionate champion,^[3] he was named by the Philippine Star in 2005 as “one of the most important young people in thePhilippines today” for his efforts to promote his nation’s cinema. He was the editor of the Southeast Asian film journal Criticine.

[edit]Biography

Tioseco was born in the Philippines, but moved with his family to Canada in 1983.^[4] In 1996, he returned to the Philippines where he completed his college studies and worked in the family business.^[4]

Tioseco credited the Lav Diaz film, Batang West Side, as having awakened his interest in Philippine cinema.^[4] He established a website, criticine.com, which was hailed in Filmmakeras "arguably the most influential, intelligent blog on Southeast Asian cinema".^[5] Tioseco became known for his efforts to expose foreign audiences to Philippine independent cinema.^[1][6]He helped organize established filmmakers in a failed attempt to seek reforms to the Metro Manila Film Festival.^[4]

His 2008 article^[4] in Rogue, styled as a love letter to his partner Nika Bohinc, was later named by American film writer Gabe Klinger, writing in The Auteurs, as "the definitive manifesto on Philippine film [that] will soon become a canonical piece of critical writing."^[7] Apart from Rogue, Tioseco contributed to The Philippine Star, Screen International and Senses of Cinema,^[3] as well as to catalogues of the Torino and Pesaro International Film Festivals.^[8] At the time of his death in 2009, he was a regular contributor to UNO, a Philippine men's magazine.^[8] He likewise joined the faculty of the Arts Department of the University of Asia and the Pacific.^[6] Tioseco also participated as a jury in several international film festivals.^[2]It was at the 2007 Rotterdam Film Festival that the Slovenian film critic Nika Bohinc would become Tioseco's romantic partner.^[5]

[edit]Death

On the night of 1 September 2009, Tioseco was killed at his Quezon City home in an apparent burglary staged by three armed men who fled the scene. He was 28 years old.^[1] Bohinc, who had moved to the Philippines to be with Tioseco, was also slain. Police were investigating the participation in the crime of a stay-in housemaid recently hired by Tioseco, who had fled together with the suspects.^[6]
