Representing Orange Magazine PH were CEO Jeman B. Villanueva, Editor-in-Chief Kister Morata, Managing Editor Lucky Magno, and Editorial Assistant Sharmaine Rodriguez. Lakbay Magazine was represented by Chairman of the Board Enrico Sy, President and CEO Lualhati Fausto, and Editor-in-Chief Joel Nigos.
The collaboration will produce an exclusive commemorative joint edition combining the editorial strengths and audiences of the two publications.
Known for its digital-first coverage of entertainment, lifestyle, events, and personalities, Orange Magazine PH will bring its 16-year online presence into a physical publication for the first time.
“For over 16 years, Orange Magazine PH has championed digital-first storytelling across entertainment, lifestyle, and events,” Villanueva said.
“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.”
Rather than focusing solely on traditional travel itineraries, the collaborative edition will feature contemporary lifestyle, arts and culture, executive profiles, and stories of Filipino trailblazers, innovators, and brands.
For Lakbay Magazine, the partnership provides an opportunity to bring its print content to Orange Magazine PH’s wider digital audience while expanding the reach of stories promoting Philippine tourism and culture.
“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,” Fausto said.
“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 combines Lakbay Magazine’s physical distribution network with Orange Magazine PH’s established online reach, giving advertisers and brand partners opportunities for both print exposure and digital amplification.
The special edition is set to circulate across selected premium lifestyle, business, travel, and leisure destinations nationwide, including luxury hotels and resorts, fine-dining establishments, airport lounges and transport hubs, executive wellness destinations, select medical tourism hospitals and dermatology clinics, cultural venues, institutional libraries, and major national trade expos.
The collaboration also represents a significant milestone for Orange Magazine PH as it expands beyond its digital roots while retaining the online platform that has defined the publication for more than a decade and a half.
Meanwhile, Lakbay Magazine strengthens its connection with digital audiences as it continues covering Philippine destinations, hospitality, culture, wellness, personalities, and other lifestyle stories.
Orange Magazine PH and Lakbay Magazine also thanked SAVÈA Bay City Manila for serving as the official venue partner for the contract signing, along with event sponsors Tai Chi Cool Stick, Tai Chi Liniment, Guyasteen, and Kuchi Kuchi Cooling Powder.
