The second volume of GQ Philippines bridges timeless legacy and the enduring strength of lore. On the cover, billiards icon Efren “Bata” Reyes reflects on his legendary athletic tale. Inside, we chart the future of local storytelling, from director Quark Henares steering the Film Industry Talks at QCinema to the undeniable global rise of Pinoy comics. We dive deep into faith with exorcist Father Jocis Syquia, explore the primal power of fear through the figure of the Aswang, trace the elegant return of classic dress watches, and talk courtside grit with Dwight Ramos.
