UNANG LABAS

Ang teen-oriented magazine na Sixteen ay unang lumabas noong June 22, 1968. Ang magazine ay halos kasinglaki lamang ng mga ordinaryong komiks at naglalaman din ng mga komiks series kabilang ang mga likha nina Mars Ravelo, Jim Fernandez, Carlo J. Caparas at Orlandro R. Nadres. Nagtampok din ito ng mga featured articles, columns, mga hit songs, at maiinit na balita sa showbiz at tungkol sa mga sikat na personalidad ng naturang panahon. Si Mars Ravelo ang nakaisip ng konsepto ng magazine at si Nadres naman ang naging unang editor nito. Inilimbag ito ng Pilipino Komiks Incorporated na sa simula ay Pilipino ang lengguwaheng ginamit. Makalipas ang ilang buwan, naging “Taglish” na ang medium of presentation nito, at nang lumaon, maliban sa mga illustrated stories na nasusulat pa rin sa wikang Pilipino, naging English na ang lengguwaheng ginamit sa mga artikulo sa magazine. Noong huling bahagi ng 1968, ang Atlas Publications Inc. na ang nagpatuloy ng paglilimbag nito.

Naging popular na babasahin ang Sixteen na sinubaybayan ng mga campus teenagers, lalo na ng mga kababaihan. Subalit ang mga mag-aaral ng high school at college ay yumaon at nagtapos, naging mga professionals at nagkaroon ng pamilya, at dito sumabay sa pagbabago ang Sixteen. Noong March 1974 naging Sixteen MOD Filipina ang pamagat ng magazine. Makalipas ang siyam na buwan, naging kasing-laki ito ng 11”x13” tabloid. Noon namang October 10, 1975, naging MOD Filipina na ang titulo nito at naging exclusive para sa mga kababaihan. Pagtungtong ng 1980s hanggang 1990s, naging bisexual ang tema ng mga artikulong nilalaman nito na bukod sa mga mag-aaral ay mga professionals at class AB readers ang target. Noong July 3, 1992, naging MOD na lamang ang titulo nito, at noong 2004 lumiit sa 9”x12” ang sukat nito. Sumunod ay inililimbag ang MOD sa coupon-bond size.
