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.

Larawang Tribiya

Noong siya ay bata pa, hindi pinangarap ni Fernando Poe Jr. ang maging isang sikat na artista. Ang talagang gusto niya ay maging isang duktor. Gusto naman ng kaniyang ama na siya ay maging isang pari. Hindi rin niya kailanman pinangarap na pumasok sa politika. Subalit dahil sa hindi maiiwasang mga pangyayari sa Pilipinas, ang paghihirap at paghihikahos ng mamamayan, ang matinding korapsyon sa pamahalaan ni Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, at ang kahilingan ng taong-bayan na magkaroon ng isang pinuno na magtataguyod sa kapakanan nila, nahikayat siyang kumandidato sa pagkapangulo ng Pilipinas noong 2004. Sa kasamaang-palad dinaya siya at ninakaw ang karapatan niyang umupo bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas.

Ang Philippine Graphic ay isang lingguhang magazine na unang lumabas noong June 18, 1990. Ito ay pinatnugutan ng 1976 National Artist for Literature na si Nick Joaquin (1917-2004), na siya ring sumulat ng isa sa mga pangunahing artikulo ng magazine na “Marcosian Flashbacks.” Mababasa dito ang mga tudling (column) ng mga batikang manunulat na sina Adrian Cristobal, Luis Beltran at Julie Yap-Daza. Tampok din sa unang labas ng Philippine Graphic ang mga personalidad na sina Nora Aunor, Lea Salonga, Kris Aquino at ang boksingerong si Luisito Espinosa.

Kakaiba naman ang unang taklob-pahina (cover page) ng magazine na ito: Isang nakabiting babae na nakatali ang magkabilang kamay; nakatingala ang ulo na manapa’y pugot na idinugtong sa ginilitang leeg; litaw ang kaliwang suso; at may sanggol na tila nakalutang sa ibabaw ng kaniyang kandungan, na sa ulo nito ay umiibis ang hilagyo ng anyong-kalapati. Nakaladlad sa likuran niya ang watawat ng Pilipinas. Mapapansin na ang pulang bahagi ng watawat ay nasa kaliwang panig na sumasagisag na nasa katayuan ng digmaan ang bansa. Sa likod nito ay ang salisalimuot at sangang-sangang paglalarawan ng iba’t-ibang mukha ng kahirapan at pakikibaka. Pinamagatan itong “Kalayaan: Isang Nanganganib na Mapuksang Nilikha” (Independence: An Endangered Species).

Ito ang panahon kung saan nagkaroon ng tensyon at labanan sa 38th parallel sa boundary ng North Korea at South Korea. Maaalalang humingi pa nga ng pahintulot si General Douglas MacArthur kay President Harry Truman na bombahin ang China, na hindi naman sinang-ayunan ng pangulo ng America. Nagkaroon ng stalemate ang magkabilang panig, ang China at North Korea sa isang banda at United States at South Korea sa kabilang banda, noong Hunyo 1951. Makalipas ang dalawang taon, nagkaroon ceasefire agreement noong July 27, 1953 na nilagdaan sa Panmunjom, sa Geonggi-do province ng South Korea sa border nito sa North Korea. Dito pormal na nahati ang North Korea at South Korea sa 38th parallel na mayroong apat na kilometrong demilitarized zone.

On the cover of Mabuhay (June 1994).

Picture Trivia

          Do you know that the island of Corregidor is shaped very much like a tadpole? Indeed. It is a strategic island known as “The Rock” because of its rocky landscape. During the 13th century it was occupied and used as fortress by Chinese pirates, but they were driven out by Muslim Filipinos. For a time under Spanish rule, it was not only used as defense fortress and penal colony, but also as a docking station where ships had their papers inspected and “corrected,” hence the name Corregidor, which is Spanish for “corrector.” At the onset and during World War II, Corregidor was so saturated with bombing that the entire topography of the island was altered. Indeed, Corregidor, which endured more than 4,000 tons of bombs per square kilometer was the most concentratedly bombed island in the South Pacific during World War II.
