A visitor to the Bronx Zoo was mauled by a tiger on Friday after he leaped from an elevated monorail train and plummeted over a fence into an exhibit, police and zoo officials said. The man lost his leg in the mauling.
Hot style tip from the latest Bench endorser: Don’t wear a fedora until you’re 60. Clad in a snug black PinoyLab polo tee, dark blue jeans and lace-up boots sans laces, Adam Levine looked every inch the pop-rock superstar under the glare of the spotlight at the main living room of The Peninsula Manila’s Presidential Suite.

Alex Gilvarry is embarrassed. He’s at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and he’s wearing sweat pants. He’s not alone—other travelers have shown up for their long-haul flights wearing sweats. But when you’re the author who created Boyet Hernandez, a fashion designer so blindingly devoted to his craft that he landed in Guantanamo Bay, you have to have higher standards.
Unsurprisingly, the cheapest international flights are those that leave Manila at midnight. Which means you arrive, fuzzy-haired, at some strange airport during witching hour, and you’re not sure whether the folks at immigration are squinting suspiciously at you and your passport photo or just trying to fend off sleep.
The latest in global fashion, beauty, and culture through a contemporary Filipino perspective.
