Eighteen years strong, Village Pipol Magazine celebrated its milestone anniversary at The Vibe Arcovia, gathering its partners, collaborators, and friends for a night of gratitude, pride, and inspiration. The event, themed “Powered by Roots, Thriving into the Future,” reflected the magazine’s enduring legacy and its vision for the years ahead.
The celebration brought together over a hundred esteemed guests from various industries who have been part of Village Pipol’s remarkable journey. MNLtoday.ph was among the invited media partners who joined the momentous occasion, witnessing nearly two decades of stories that connect communities and champion Filipino creativity.
Guests arrived in their stunning “Gilded Origins” attire—black, silver, and gold—symbolizing strength, success, and sophistication. The evening shimmered with elegance as Editor-in-Chief Sir John Luke Q. Chica led the celebration and Mr. Richie de Quina, President of Red Entertainment, also one of the founder of Village Pipol with the opening remarks, revisiting the magazine’s past covers and achievements that have defined its growth and influence.
One of the night’s highlights was the return of “Pipol’s Business, Pipol’s Stories,” a signature video series that showcases inspiring entrepreneurs, brand owners, and changemakers. Through this platform, Village Pipol continues to give voice to individuals and businesses whose stories embody resilience, innovation, and heart—values that lie at the core of Filipino excellence.
The festivities were filled with excitement, featuring fun raffles and prizes from Jisu Life, Honor Philipines and gift checks from sponsors. A touching moment came with the early birthday celebration of President RCQ, as guests joined in expressing their appreciation for his leadership and vision.
Capping off the night was the unveiling of Village Pipol’s 18th Anniversary Issue, with entrepreneur Anna Magkawas gracing the cover. Her story of perseverance, humility, and faith beautifully mirrors this year’s theme—reminding everyone that success grounded in gratitude and community endures through time.
The celebration stood as both a reflection and a promise: to keep telling stories that inspire, empower, and connect. As Village Pipol continues to grow, its unwavering commitment to uplifting Filipino voices remains stronger than ever.
MNLtoday.ph congratulates Village Pipol Magazine on this meaningful milestone and wishes continued success in its mission to inspire through storytelling and collaboration. Thank you to Mr. Josh Austria, PR and Advertising Head of Village Pipol for the invitation and warm welcome.
