ON COVER: TEAM is the Philippines Magazine For Out and Proud
We’ve seen gorgeous women in the cover of Preview, wearing high-pieces clothes. We’ve seen successful men in the cover of Esquire, sharing success stories. We’ve seen young actors in the cover of Candy, being so sweet and bubbly. LGBT community grows, many came out, and many spoke out about their identity that brought Paolo Lorenzana to come up with a gay magazine that is the TEAM.
Paolo Lorenzana has been publishing locally. It’s not new to him this kind of stuff. One thing he considered then was meeting friends to pitch his ideas, and if that was going to work. He has all the ideas in his minds. He has all the gay stories that he encountered. This man is creative, is outspoken, is proud, and is bold.
TEAM, as being explained by Lorenzana in his interview for one website, is referring to how a gay guy plays for the other team. And also, the word team is associated with athletics, which many gay guys feel excluded from. He proudly claimed that TEAM was a place to bring them (gay community) together.
As the EIC and creator, Lorenzana wanted to expand their reach audience. And he will continue bringing all these out and proud stories that will inspire and that will tell the world who really these people are.
