Gosh! You don't know how proud and excited I am to announce to you guys that Bikol now has its very first art and fashion magazine, The Agora Magazine!

The maiden issue, set to be released this weekend as the September issue is a preview of things and shapes to come—and will be called ‘The Paper Issue.’ Harking back to its primordial roots, the online magazine looks into the paper as a weapon, as a tool, as a means for expressing creativity, and as the translated ‘papel’, we look into the roles we play in cultivating Bikol Art into a global, social community of acquired tastes. Photographers, Writers, Makeup Artists, Fashion Stylists, Interior Designers, Graphic Designers, and Illustrators give us their takes on this theme for the maiden issue.
