People Who Are Changing
the Way We Travel

Words by GRID Magazine

Travel transcends place. GRID believes that the pretty destinations have always been secondary to the various reasons we travel, and in this issue, we honor the people who have enabled us to experience the Philippines in different and better ways. Editor-in-Chief Kristine Fonacier, Executive Editor Paco Guerrero and Creative Director Nachi Ugarte introduce us to the series.
