Vantage Magazine We are The GUIDON’s online magazine, covering campus culture and the people behind it. This is for the film buffs. This is for the musicians. This is for you.

We are The GUIDON’s online magazine, a publication geared towards culture and the people who make it. In line with the massive potential of the online medium, Vantage Magazine strives to deliver relevant storytelling and coverages through its digital platforms. From media reviews to interactive quizzes, and even story submissions from the readers themselves, this magazine is a step away from prete

nse and towards accessibility. It’s a place to share stories and join in on discussions on culture—a place for people to engage with the publication with the topics and passions that matter to them most. For the past 95 years, The GUIDON has established itself as a voice of the students, promising a platform for your stories and opinions to be heard. Here at Vantage, we share the same goal as we envision ourselves to be a platform for compelling stories, engaging discussions, and creative expressions on Atenean campus culture and beyond. This is for the foodies. This is for the storytellers. This is for the neophytes, the aficionados, and all the in-betweens. Welcome to the homepage of the Atenean. Welcome to Vantage. Editors

: Filipina chef Margarita Forés has passed away at 65, her son confirmed today.

Forés was the founder of Cibo, Lusso, and Grace Park and was hailed Asia's Best Female Chef in 2016. A pioneer of farm-to-table dining, she championed the use of local produce in her restaurants.

In a 2020 interview, she shared that her mission was to "make life and living more beautiful and delicious for others."

“I think you know how to love better than any of us. That’s why you find it all so painful.” (Fleabag, Season 2, Episode 6)

Grief is something that comes in waves. It is an intangible ache that is as enduring as it is elusive, yet everyone has experienced it one way or another. With the beginning of February, we seek to commemorate the Valentine’s Day season by honoring and acknowledging our collective grief.

In this photoset, members of the Atenean community have sought to redefine grief and love as innately connected, as they discuss all things related to loss and love. Here, we pay tribute to the departed, immortalizing their memory as a love letter to all the people, things, and opportunities that may have drifted away from us. Grief, despite all the painful and frightening feelings that come with it, is a testament to the tenderness and depth of our capacity to love. After all, what is grief, if not love persevering?
