Yes, it’s still DrinkManila! We’re just gearing up for an exciting new chapter. It has been an incredible eight years since we launched as the first drink-centric magazine in the Philippines in 2016, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experiences and the countless sips we’ve enjoyed along the way.
DrinkManila has been a profoundly personal journey for me throughout my career. Among all the milestones I have achieved, creating DrinkManila holds a special place in my heart. As our team continues to grow and evolve, we are thrilled to announce our rebranding as DrinkCollectiv. This change reflects our vision of expanding our reach beyond Manila and into neighboring cities like Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and other parts of Asia, catering to a growing community of drink enthusiasts eager to explore diverse bar destinations around the world.
While our platform may be changing, our commitment remains the same: to share stories about drinking culture. Together with my drinking buddies, Icy Mariñas, Star Sabroso, and Kay Arias, we will continue to explore amazing drinking gems and highlight the talented people who craft our favorite drinks. We look forward to bringing you even more stories, experiences, and insights as we embark on this new adventure together.
