The MEGA Man September 2022 issue delves into self re-invention and a brand of leadership meant for men who try to master it all. Gracing the cover is one of the original Renaissance men Richard Gomez, who evolved from being an athlete to an actor to a politician. Through the years, the congressman has mastered the balancing act while pursuing excellence. 

Also in this issue are the coolest menswear trends from the biggest brands in fashion.

What does it take to be a man’s man? MEGA Man’s September issue examines this question through the stories of Marco Gumabao, who has become one of the most sought-after leading men in the country today.  In this issue, the adrenaline junkie shares his grooming habits, his heart-pumping hobbies, and how he lives the cool and quiet life under the lights of fame.

In an era where gender has taken on different forms and meaning, we bring the new breed of men who are redefining the bachelors we either wish to be with or wish to become. On our covers (we have four on digital) are actor Joshua Garcia, life coach Jacob Ejercito, influencer and content creator LA Aguinaldo, and Mayor Javi Benitez. Plus, know more about the other bachelors who have made it to the list of the Most Eligible MEGA Men in our August 2023 issue.

What does it take to change the game? For Kobe Paras, it’s changing the entire direction of his life.

In this month’s issue, the cover star talks about what the future looks for him and why he is at his most peaceful state.

The world of politics is a long and wide spectrum. In the end, what matters is that our leaders learn to adapt to the changing times and make decisions to serve the greater good. The three new breed of leaders on our cover believe in these values and know that putting something new and innovative on the table is the only way to serve their constituents better. Get to know the styles of leadership of Edu Rama, Chuckie Antonio, and Franz Pumaren on our June 2023 cover story.

Included in this renaissance is a trip to Rio de Janeiro with Michael Cinco and most notably, an intimate look into the life of DJ Bigboy Cheng. Spanning the scope of art, toys, and even food, we look into the visual treat and most importantly, the collection of lessons learned from the man they call Sanchupapa.

In this issue, the new MEGA Man ushers in the modern Filipino who is inclusive, thoughtful, and innovative. 

We present five young men who are at the peak of their different careers, and who are making efforts to make the country a better place.

And finally, we join LVNA By Drake Dustin's fifth year of creating exquisite, eclectic, and fine jewelry pieces in the stunning forms of gold, diamond, and pearl, to name a few.

With a handful of business ventures and a few passion projects on the side, Rambo Nuñez is committed to following the trajectory towards meaningful entrepreneurship.

MEGA Man celebrates the way fashion is shaping men's way of redefining themselves and embracing their bodies.
