The two publications formalized their collaboration during a contract signing held on September 10, 2026, at SAVÈA Bay City Manila, marking an important milestone for both media brands and opening the door to a new kind of cross platform storytelling.
For Orange Magazine PH, the partnership represents its first venture into physical print, while Lakbay Magazine gains an opportunity to extend its editorial reach through the established digital platform and audience of Orange Magazine PH.
The collaboration will come to life through an exclusive commemorative joint print edition featuring stories that go beyond conventional travel coverage and spotlight the people, ideas, businesses, and creative forces shaping contemporary Filipino culture.
Two Media Brands, One Shared Vision
The contract signing brought together key leaders from both publications.
Representing Orange Magazine PH were CEO Jeman B. Villanueva, Editor in Chief Kister Morata, Managing Editor Lucky Magno, and Editorial Assistant Sharmaine Rodriguez.
Representing Lakbay Magazine were Chairman of the Board Enrico Sy, President and CEO Lualhati Fausto, and Editor in Chief Joel Nigos.
The gathering marked more than the signing of an agreement. It signaled the beginning of a collaborative editorial project designed to connect the strengths of two distinct media platforms.
Orange Magazine PH has spent more than 16 years building its presence through digital coverage of entertainment, lifestyle, events, personalities, and contemporary culture. Lakbay Magazine, meanwhile, has established its identity through premium stories covering destinations, hospitality, tourism, arts and culture, wellness, and business leaders.
Together, the publications are bringing these perspectives under one print platform.
Orange Magazine PH Makes Its Print Debut
For Orange Magazine PH CEO Jeman Villanueva, entering print is a significant moment for a publication that has built its identity in the digital space.
“For over 16 years, Orange Magazine PH has championed digital-first storytelling across entertainment, lifestyle, and events. Partnering with Lakbay Magazine allows us to translate that editorial voice into a tangible, high-end print format for the very first time, offering our partners and readers a richer, multi-platform media experience.”
The joint edition gives Orange Magazine PH an opportunity to take its storytelling beyond screens and into a physical publication designed for readers who appreciate premium editorial content.
The project also reflects the changing nature of modern media, where print and digital can work together rather than compete for attention.
Lakbay Magazine Expands Its Editorial Horizon
Since launching its first issue three years ago, Lakbay Magazine has focused on stories that highlight destinations, tourism, hospitality, arts and culture, wellness, and influential figures across different industries.
The partnership with Orange Magazine PH adds another dimension to that editorial mission.
Lualhati Fausto, President and CEO of Lakbay Magazine, said the publication has remained committed to telling stories that can contribute to the promotion of Philippine tourism while providing readers with engaging content across multiple fields.
“Starting from our very first issue three years ago, we have been steadfast in featuring stories on popular and upcoming destinations, the hospitality industry, arts and culture, executive profiles, wellness, and beyond through our premium pages. We hope these stories contribute to the promotion of our country’s tourism industry. Through this collaboration with Orange Magazine PH and its wide digital reach, we expect to bring our content to an even larger audience.”
The partnership therefore creates a bridge between Lakbay Magazine’s premium print storytelling and Orange Magazine PH’s extensive digital reach.
A Special Edition Focused on Filipino Stories
The upcoming commemorative issue will expand beyond traditional travel features.
Readers can expect a mix of lifestyle, arts and culture, executive profiles, business stories, and inspiring success stories featuring Filipino trailblazers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and brands.
Rather than focusing solely on places to visit, the publication will also look at the people and ideas behind the Philippines’ evolving lifestyle, tourism, business, and creative industries.
This broader editorial direction gives the special issue a distinctly contemporary character while preserving the premium storytelling associated with both publications.
Bringing Print and Digital Closer Together
One of the most significant aspects of the partnership is its dual platform approach.
The collaboration combines the physical presence of a premium magazine with the accessibility and reach of digital media, creating an integrated platform for readers, featured personalities, and brand partners.
For advertisers and partners, the joint project offers an opportunity to reach audiences through both nationwide print exposure and targeted digital amplification.
The approach reflects how media consumption continues to evolve. A story can begin in print, gain momentum online, and reach audiences across multiple touchpoints.
Where Readers Can Find the Special Edition
The commemorative joint issue is planned for circulation across selected premium lifestyle, executive, travel, wellness, and leisure destinations nationwide.
Copies are expected to be available in:
- Luxury hotels and resorts
- Fine dining establishments
- Airport lounges
- Major transport hubs
- Executive wellness destinations
- Select A1 medical tourism hospitals
- Premier dermatology clinics
- Cultural venues
- Institutional libraries
- Major national trade exhibitions and expos
This distribution strategy places the publication in environments where readers are already engaging with premium lifestyle, business, travel, wellness, and cultural content.
A New Chapter for Philippine Media
The partnership between Orange Magazine PH and Lakbay Magazine comes at a time when media audiences are increasingly moving between digital and physical platforms.
For Orange Magazine PH, the project transforms more than a decade and a half of digital publishing into a tangible editorial experience.
For Lakbay Magazine, it creates an avenue to introduce its premium content to a wider audience while expanding the scope of stories featured in its pages.
At its heart, the collaboration is about bringing people and stories together through two complementary forms of media.
The result is a print project that reflects the changing Philippine media landscape while giving readers something tangible to hold onto: stories about Filipino creativity, ambition, culture, leadership, travel, lifestyle, and success.
Partners Behind the Milestone
Orange Magazine PH and Lakbay Magazine expressed their appreciation to SAVÈA Bay City Manila, the official venue partner for the contract signing.
The publications also extended their thanks to the event sponsors Tai Chi Cool Stick, Tai Chi Liniment, Guyasteen, and Kuchi Kuchi Cooling Powder for supporting the milestone occasion.
With the partnership now formally signed, Orange Magazine PH and Lakbay Magazine are set to bring their combined editorial strengths to readers through a special print edition that connects the reach of digital media with the enduring appeal of a premium magazine.
For both publications, it is more than a new issue.
It is the beginning of a new chapter.
