Village Pipol Magazine marked its 18th anniversary on October 15 at The Vibe Arcovia. The celebration, themed “Powered by Roots, Thriving into the Future,” gathered more than 100 brands, partners, and friends of the publication. It was a night of gratitude and growth that honored the magazine’s enduring legacy and its evolving vision for the future.
A Milestone of Growth and Gratitude
The 18th year represented more than just longevity. It symbolized maturity, purpose, and the strength built through community. Much like a debut, the event reflected a coming-of-age story for Village Pipol. It acknowledged the people, partnerships, and perseverance that shaped its journey while embracing the opportunities that lie ahead.
At the center of this milestone stood Anna Magkawas, entrepreneur and cover personality of Village Pipol’s 18th anniversary issue. Her story of resilience, groundedness, and determination captured the spirit of the theme.
A Woman Grounded in Purpose
Anna Magkawas, known for leading Luxe Beauty and Wellness Group, has become an empowering figure for many aspiring entrepreneurs. Her rise mirrors the path of Village Pipol itself, driven by relationships, authenticity, and strength of purpose. Her story reminds readers that true progress begins with remembering where you came from and who helped you along the way.

Her feature in the anniversary issue highlights the value of staying grounded even while pursuing 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 words reflect both her character and the heart of Village Pipol’s journey. Success, as she shows, is built through shared effort and collective faith. Her example proves that every triumph is a product of connection and gratitude.
Village Pipol’s Sales and Marketing Head Regino Rubi shared why she was chosen for the 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 event carried the concept “Gilded Origins,” a tribute to strength, perseverance, and triumph.
