the editors’ faves

We took a look back at our past stories and picked out our favorites

gone to the dogs, april 2016

“I’ve long wanted to put dogs on the magazine, because why not? When I told (former art director) Martin Diegor that we could pull this off if I fleshed out this idea I had for an essay about dogs, we jumped right at the chance.” — ROMEO MORAN, features editor

the soldier, n ove m be r 2 015

“Paulo Avelino has been one of my favorite Filipino actors since I got to see Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa back when I was in college. It was an absolute delight reading his Scout interview and learning about his thoughts on acting, art, and both independent and mainstream entertainment. He’s a gem in the local industry.” — DENISE FERNANDEZ, editorial assistant

ladies& gentlemen, may 2015

“This was when we first started casting kids to model for the fashion editorials. I’ve grown to love this way of shooting. Sometimes our shoots would last for weeks, just so we can round up the perfect set of people. We would always have a bunch of new friends afterwards. It’s wonderful.” —JED GREGORIO, editor in chief

don’t kill my vibe, november 2 015

“I’ve always admired Curtismith and his music even before I became part of Scout. It’s really nice that a lot of new local artists are putting their own thing out in the open, turning local music into something totally different.” — GRACE DE LUNA, graphic artist

touch the sky, march 2016

“I feel the heart behind the monochrome images more than makes up for the lack of color. Alejandro’s story about how he documented the lives of those people who were forgotten and shunned by society needed to be brought to light. I also have to hand it to him because he kept his cool in the bleakest of situations.” — NICO PASCUAL, editorial assistant
