This month, ESQUIRE Philippines makes pop-cultural history in collaboration with the biggest band the country has ever known: the Eraserheads.
Since the Eraserheads broke up over a decade ago, their fans have despaired of ever hearing new music from these beloved icons, even as their subsequent reunion concerts here and abroad broke all attendance records. Now, ESQUIRE Philippines brings to you the Eraserheads of the 21st century, with two new singles: "Sabado" and "1995," only available with the CD included in this issue.
Also in this issue: Editor-in-Chief Erwin Romulo's in-depth account of the Eraserheads' London tour. By turns insightful, funny, informative, and heartbreaking, it is a unique document, both intensely personal and engagingly human. Meanwhile, Audrey N. Carpio voyages to Zambia to explore its mesmerizing landscapes. And Jerome Gomez journeys to Japan, spending ten days in the land of cherry blossoms during springtime.
Rounding out this special Travel issue, ESQUIRE features a behind-the-scenes look at air transport, as a former flight attendant fills us in on what really happens when you're traveling 37,000 feet above the ground. Also: ever wonder what people get out of bed for in the more distant corners of the globe? A look at seven breakfasts, from Mexico to Suriname. (They go far beyond just eggs and toast.)
Plus: new fiction from Luis Katigbak, a What I’ve Learned interview with the inimitable (and incorrigible) Teodoro "Teddyboy" Locsin Jr., and an ESQ&A with acclaimed historian Ambeth Ocampo.
All this and more, this month on ESQUIRE.
