This month, ESQUIRE goes from location to location with John Lloyd Cruz and director Erik Matti, as they film their first collaboration, Honor Thy Father. Philbert Ortiz Dy delivers a gripping behind-the-scenes look at dealing with rabid fans, restrictive budgets, acts of God, explosions, and expectations.Then, we talk about drugs.
After airport officials found traces of shabu in Anjanette Abayari’s makeup kit in the last year of the ‘90s, she was banished from the country that gave her tiara wings. Fifteen years later, she comes home, and talks to us about the unfinished business she left behind.
The party days of the late ‘90s might seem a haze to the club kids who made up the scene. But photographer Eddie Boy Escudero reminds us of what a blast it all was.
Plus, a unique look at the work of four of Manila’s eclectic artists: we asked them to create two sets of self-portraits -- one while sober, and the other while under the influence of certain substances.
And, from Adderall to Quaaludes, we put together a drug dictionary. Catch up with the jargon of the underworld, in ESQUIRE’s Guide to Drugs.
