Leadership

Making it into any of the Asia Tatler’s annual Generation T lists is no small feat. Over the past three years, a judging panel composed of Tatler editors, Generation T alumni, and members of high society have worked hand-in-hand to put together this carefully curated list of 50 outstanding individuals between the ages of 25 and 40, who are the present-day driving forces behind their respective industries. From intrepid entrepreneurs to passionate creatives, from benevolent philanthropists to number-crunching finance tech wizards, Philippine Tatler’s third batch of Generation T listers are bright talents and big thinkers with a shared vision that is set to transform the Philippine landscape, one enterprise at a time. Retailer Mike Concepcion, social enterprise founder Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, filmmaker Paul Soriano, photographer Jay Yao, musician Jess Connelly, and fashion designers Mark Bumgarner and Rosenthal Tee are seven of this year’s 50, a mix of both returnees and newcomers. Representative of varying industries, each of these Generation T listers bring something new to the table, ready not just to make waves on the global stage, but also intent on improving the quality of livelihood and artistry in their home country. Young as they are, their contributions to Philippine society are already helping shape the future, opening doors to new opportunities and empowering generations to come.

With 2018's Generation T just right around the corner, we speak to members of our Tatler Tribe over dinner at Zebra Square to ask them about their roles and their thoughts on the list.
