From January 21 to 25, 2026, Metro Manila serves up a calendar packed with creativity, community and a little nostalgia. Kultura Crawl Fiesta invites you to explore art spaces and cultural hubs across the city, while quiz lovers can relive the chaos of the mid-2010s at a Back to 2016–themed trivia night. Slow things down with Journal Tambay or stretch it out at Luna and Omi’s Puppy Yoga. Partygoers can catch Raion x F*nkytown bar takeover, while coffee lovers head to Beats and Beans. Spend the weekend treasure hunting at Checkmate Flea Market or Nostalgia by Patrons of the Arts and cap it off with a miniature landscape terrarium workshop on Sunday.
Make your plans, gather your circle and step out into the city—whether you’re in the mood for culture, connection or a touch of nostalgia, there’s something waiting for you this weekend.

Joan—“Anj” to some—first stumbled into the literary world through Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower. From then on, she knew she wanted to tell stories—for everyone to read or perhaps simply for her older self to find again someday.
In high school, her love for writing intertwined with her passion for media and entertainment, drawing her to the glossy pages of magazines and online features about her favourite British boyband and Canadian singer. By college, she had found her rhythm in article writing and never stopped chasing stories worth sharing.
As Social Media Officer for Tatler Philippines, she shapes stories that capture moments in entertainment, culture and society. For leads or inquiries, feel free to reach her via joan.chan@tatlerasia.com or @joanntrc on Instagram.
