Story Philippines is a quarterly magazine of original short stories by Filipinos. Its mission:
…to provide the most entertaining reading experience for fiction in the country. Featuring new short fiction from Filipino writers, the magazine is presented in an intriguing format that boasts cutting edge design, illustration and photography. The magazine offers its community of dedicated readers the most preferred venue for Philippine writers to share their work.
“Intriguing” actually means tabloid format (11″X14″), which personally took a while to grow on me. In any case, it’s a Goliath of a publication not just literally, what with the big names that have invested their time and talent in it–its first roster of authors include award-winning Gilda Cordero-Fernando and Sarge Lacuesta.
Distributed by Mega Magazines & Publications Inc., its first issue was released third quarter of 2005, but of special attachment to me is the second, now in the newsstands. Please support and tell your friends about it! 
Personal pieces, adventures in quiet places, reflections, details that make me go aha!, all in the name of finding beauty in this city (and country) we love to hate.
