Magandá is a Pilipino adjective defined as ‘beautiful,’ symbolizing the Pilipino culture, heritage, traditions and beliefs. Magandá expresses individuality, a uniqueness, which can only be discovered within each person. Each story, each poem, forms a part of the path to self-determination, paved with the distinctive and diverse features of the Pilipino American people.

— from Magandá Magazine’s Premiere Issue, Spring 1990. Even though I’m scared of what’s to come, I seriously can’t wait for next year. It’s going to be awesome.

From tonight’s {m}aganda Magazine Visual Arts Workshop, facilitated by the lovely and talented Dana Tinio. I’m not a bad artist, but I’ve had no formal training in art, so it was kind of difficult to follow the guidelines and learn all these techniques and stuff. I did blind contour drawings of everyone, but the one I drew of Christine was my favorite. I made her look like an old lady caricature!
