I did it before the Kardashians! I really became part of the families of so many Filipinos to the point that people would wonder, ‘wala na bang ibang artista ang ABS-CBN’ [Are there no other artists at ABS-CBN]?” The Philippines’ undisputed “Queen of All Media” greeted the team for the Tatler cover shoot with her unmistakable voice—effortlessly commanding the space despite being away from cover shoots for years.

Set against the lush landscape of Studio City, this Los Angeles home by SLS Properties takes a darker, more elemental approach to Californian living. Charred wood, lava stone and warm limestone create a sensual palette, while expansive glazing and a 24-foot indoor planter dissolve the boundaries between architecture and nature. Across its open-plan interiors and five bedrooms, the home balances drama with intimacy, creating moments of calm through light, greenery and texture. Outdoors, a pool and fire pit extend the home’s resort-like atmosphere, offering the family a private escape from the city.
Ahead of its public opening in 2027, the Coconut Palace, formerly Tahanang Pilipino, has undergone restoration, preparing to first welcome delegates of the upcoming ASEAN Summit. Brought to life by National Artist for Architecture Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa and declared an Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines, the palace stands as a tribute to Filipino heritage. Its design embraces organic form and native provenance with recurring hexagonal motifs echoing trimmed coconut trunks and a breathtaking chandelier composed of 101 meticulously arranged coconut shells with brass trimmings. Across its 11 rooms, the upper suites act as showcases of the diverse regions of the Philippines. Above all, it stands as a celebrated home for Filipino craftsmanship, honouring the enduring allure of materials that are unmistakably our own. Read more on TatlerAsia.com or tap the link in our bio.

The growing demand for Philippine indigenous fibres like piña and abacá reflects a renewed focus on bespoke design and heritage. However, translating this interest into a sustainable industry requires addressing distinct vulnerabilities in the supply chain, ranging from weather impacts on crop yields to the intensive manual labour required for thread extraction.
