Morena, Unmuted
From the newsroom to the stage, from film sets to frontlines, four Filipinas use their stories, their platforms, and their truth to speak up and shatter silence—proving that beauty isn’t quiet; it’s courageous.
We use our voices every day—to work, to connect, to stand up for what we believe in. But for these women, voice is more than sound. It’s how they take up space in a world that often asks women to shrink. And for these morenas, it’s also how they make history.

Allure Philippines speaks to four morenas who choose to use their voices—literally and figuratively—for the greater good. From the newsroom to the stage, from the film set to the frontlines, Jervi Wrightson, Gab Pangilinan, Samantha Lee, and Jamela Alindogan use their voices to speak truth and defy silence. Their stories remind us that beauty isn’t found in quiet perfection, but in presence, conviction, and the power to be heard.
