Monday, April 07, 2008 Mindanao's 1st lifestyle mag launched at Marco Polo
M LIFE and Living in Mindanao, the first glossy travel and lifestyle magazine that will truly showcase the best of Mindanao, will finally arrive in magazine stands and leading bookstores nationwide starting April 2008.
A quarterly publication, M features interesting pieces on adventure destinations, culinary pursuits, investment hubs, nocturnal activities, unique fashion creations, entertainment and wellness enclaves, profitable business endeavors, contemporary lifestyle and the people who have made a difference in Mindanao, painting a fresh image on the island as peaceful, successful and modern.

M truly marks a milestone in the history of Mindanao publishing as the first lifestyle magazine with national and international distribution that tackles life and living in Mindanao," according to editor-in-chief Jean Claire Dy.
For its premiere issue, M Life and Living in Mindanao will feature a piece on Budget Travel to Bukidnon and the Beaches of Mindanao on Travel, the award-winning innovations of fashion purveyor Dodjie Batu on Fashion & Trends, the artistic ingenuity of the Integrated Performing Arts Guild of Iligan on Arts & Culture, a peek on the fascinating use of space and design of Handuman ancestral home on Living, a bite of the famous "amik" delicacy of Muslim Mindanao on Cuisine, strolling along the vibrant nocturnal haunts of Cagayan de Oro on Nightlife, a fresh perspective of one of Mindanao's true woman of substance Ms Margarita Moran Floirendo on the Cover Story, and many other exciting stories, events, interactive pages and travel tips about the ins-and-outs of this island paradise.
