The second Rolling Stone Philippines Hall of Fame Issue features Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, fresh off her FINALE Concert Series. Here, she talks about coming to terms with the realities of an illustrious four-decade career. Entertainment titan Johnny Manahan, budots pioneer DJ Love, award-winning broadcast journalist Kara David, Masungi Georeserve co-founder Ann Dumaliang, and Black Eyed Peas member and hip-hop icon apl.de.ap join Regine in this year’s distinguished roster.

“We have been blessed with great art, stories that have endured for centuries, and music that has enraptured us to our very core,” Rolling Stone Philippines Chief of Editorial Content Jonty Cruz says of the Rolling Stone Philippines Hall of Fame 2026 awardees. In the existential age of AI, he urges readers to “create a world that still longs to be surprised without reducing it to mere data.”
