We are no longer a product that curates products for people to buy. Instead, we provide ideas on how to make their lives better.”</p><p><iframe allow='encrypted-media' allowfullscreen='true' allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='734' scrolling='no' src='https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmegamagazine%2Fvideos%2F373939384006226%2F&show_text=false&width=734&height=734&appId' style='border:none;overflow:hidden' width='734'></iframe></p><p><br/>Accompanying this change is a redesign of the magazine’s logo. “Since its inception in 1992, under the guiding light of our founding editor, Sari V. Yap, the masthead changed four times. This logo update is an ode to the times—a symbolism of great change that not only affected us, but the rest of the world. As we embrace change, we not only focus on the visual storytelling, but also the messaging and content. This is our resolve: to keep print strong and our point-of-view relevant,” said Peewee Reyes-Isidro, Editor-in-Chief.     <br/> <br/>Catriona Gray’s September 2020 issue is available digitally through Readly, Zinio, Magzter and Press Reader.<br/> </p>
