On the next issue, Kuris Animator Brynh De Los Reyes artwork will be featured on the January issue featuring Iloilo City and Dinagyang Festival double cover.
In the coming issues, itravel Philippines will be widely circulated in Metro Manila and other key provinces such as Palawan, Bohol, Boracay, and Davao. Promotion of Philippine tourism and travel is the main goal of the magazine, hoping to capture all market segments of readers and advertisers with its continued partnership with ABN Dreamworks, owner of the biggest LED electronic billboard in Cebu City.
For sure, Kuris Animators, the group of Ilonggo artists who made history with their first animated short film “The BEQUEST: Origin of Dinagyang” will be part of the “How to Get There” section of the magazine. Month after month, they will feature digitally-colored artworks of different Kuris Animators.
