Village Pipol Magazine celebrated its 18th anniversary on October 15 at The Vibe Arcovia with the theme “Powered by Roots, Thriving into the Future.” The event, a celebration of growth, gratitude, and inspiration, gathered over 100 brands, partners, and friends to honor the magazine’s legacy.
The milestone signified more than longevity—it represented maturity and purpose. Just like a debut, it was a coming-of-age moment for Village Pipol, reflecting on the community and partnerships that have helped it grow while embracing the vision of the years ahead.
Anna Magkawas, entrepreneur and Village Pipol’s 18th-anniversary cover star, headlined the celebration. Her resilient, grounded, and determined spirit perfectly captured this year’s theme.
A Woman Grounded in Purpose
Known for her role as a business leader of Luxe Beauty and Wellness Group and an empowering figure for many aspiring entrepreneurs, Anna Magkawas’ journey is a reflection of Village Pipol’s own story: built through relationships, resilience, and authenticity. Her feature in the anniversary issue highlights the strength that comes from being grounded in one’s beginnings, while continuously striving for growth.
“Success means nothing if you forget the people who were with you from the very beginning. Always stay rooted, remain humble, and never think too highly of yourself.”
Anna’s presence reminds everyone that true success is a shared story. Just as Village Pipol has grown through the support of its partners and readers, Anna’s success is proof that no one thrives alone—it takes a village to build a legacy.
Village Pipol’s Sales and Marketing Head Regino Rubi shared why Anna was the perfect choice for this milestone cover.
“She truly deserves to be the main cover. Even now that she’s at the peak of her success, we still see her working with the same people, finding time for her family, and always putting her Luxers at the heart of her business,” said Rubi.
Gilded Origins: A Night of Elegance
The 18th anniversary celebration shimmered under the concept “Gilded Origins,” with guests in black, silver, and gold, symbolizing strength and triumph.
