Esquire Philippines introduces the pioneers of the new Manila entertainment scene this month of April with an oral history feature of how four men assembled a world-class nightlife empire. Meet the business-savvy partyphiles behind the success of Embassy, Privé Luxury Club, and Republiq, as they share how they built this city and owned the night. “He who runs the clubs, runs the city,” as DJ Jon Herrera tells Esquire Philippines. Find out how an elite group reinvigorated Manila club culture, built an empire, and changed the way we party with Erik Cua, Louie Ysmael, Tim Yap, Jon Herrera, Ferdinand Aracama, GP Reyes, KC Santi, Kim Yao, and Aslie Aslanian.

Inside this month’s issue, Esquire Philippines features a complete guide of everything you would need in the name of grooming with 2013 Esquire Grooming Awards. Plus, the men of Boys Night Out mouth off about unruly hair with their feature on Hair Everywhere. Also not to miss are The Modern Rules of Grooming, 10 Things You Need In Your Medicine Cabinet, and grooming tips you would never think you would do but should try right now.
