The third quarter issue of Gensan Gazer Quarterly (GGQ) captures a dynamic mix of celebration, social awareness, culture, and global perspective, anchored by stories from Gensan and beyond. We open with coverage of the 15th Tuna Festival and 15th Tuna Congress, celebrating the city's most iconic industry while examining its evolving economic and cultural impact. The city's pulse continues in Gensan's Changing Nightscape, a look at how urban life, leisure, and identity shift after dark.
Community and compassion take center stage through features on Dolefil and Mahintana Foundation's Daycare Upgrade Project, alongside thoughtful explorations of humanitarian initiatives big and small. Summertime Hunger Spike and Hope Flows address pressing social challenges, highlighting efforts to combat food insecurity and bring clean water to Mindanao schools—one community at a time. These stories are balanced by Beauty & Benevolence, which reflects on service, empathy, and the enduring question of how individuals can make meaningful change.
The issue also delivers GGQ's signature lifestyle and culture coverage. Centerfold: Maria Hoefert offers a striking visual and personal profile, while Music Mixx and Books Buzz keep readers tuned in to current sounds and stories. On the travel front, Travel Tales & Trivia explores New York City must-sees, complemented by GGQ in New York, blending global discovery with a distinctly GGQ lens.
Technology, wellness, and critical thinking round out the issue. Environment Debate: A Deadly Power Surge tackles energy and environmental risks, while Gadget Talk reviews the Sony Xperia ZR and Pentax GW-III. Health and beauty come under scrutiny with Eat Real and Kiss of Death, questioning what we consume—and apply—daily. Retail Therapy, Social Media Chaos, and Glance of Greatson close the issue with insight, style, and reflection.
This edition of GGQ offers a thoughtful, wide-ranging snapshot of culture, conscience, and contemporary life.
