MAY 2026 @voguephilippines “Catholicism and Colonialism are tied together. Rocero has been reaching toward Philippine pre-colonial culture ever since she liberated herself from the internalized shame. She discovered and immediately recognized the gender-fluidity of the Babaylan, spiritual leaders who played an important role in their communities as healers and ritual specialists. When I’m connected to that pre-colonial spirit, it goes back to our notion of kapwa. That fluidity in gender is divinity for me.” Vogue Philippines Features editor Audrey Carpio talks to Geena Rocero.LINK in BIOWritten by: @audreycarpio Photography by @samspenceworkStyling by @dominickbarcelonaBeauty Editor @joyce.orenaDeputy Editor @pamquinones Art Director: @jannpascuaVogue Philippines Producer: @julianjrrProducer: @societymgmtMakeup: @laurelcharlestonAssitant Makeup: @nikiamua Hair: @_andrewcchen_Photo Assistant: @luke_stoychoffStyling Assistants: @endyasimone @ddominicmoreno @michelleuribe_ @iluvcharliebyrd The May 2026 issue is now available on shop.vogue.ph and on newsstands.#vogue #voguephilippines by @geenarocero

It’s been 25 years since @GeenaRocero left the Philippines, walking away from a trans pageant career she had begun dominating at the age of 15.From the eskinitas of Makati to the makeup counters of Macy’s, she’s made her way as a model, a public advocate for trans rights, and recently, as a filmmaker. Her most recent work is “Dolls,” a film that she wrote, directed, and starred in. The film is an 18-minute thriller with a mostly trans woman cast, premiering in five international film festivals.“I learn by doing. Call it self-belief, call it holding on to that unapologetic vision and letting it speak for itself. I’ve always been a self-starter. Right now, directing, writing, and producing, that’s what’s calling me,” she says.At the link in our bio, Vogue Philippines features editor @audreycarpio talks to Geena Rocero about her journey from pageantry to filmmaking. The May 2026 issue is now available on shop.vogue.ph and on newsstands.Photographs by @samspencework, styling by @dominickbarcelona, beauty editor @joyce.orena, story by @audreycarpio, deputy editor @pamquinones, art director @jannpascua, beauty writer & associate @bianca.custodio, Vogue Philippines producer @julianjrr, producer Stephane Gerbier of @societymgmt, makeup @laurelcharleston, hair @_andrewcchen_, photography assistant @luke_stoychoff of @societymgmt, styling assistants @endyasimone, @ddominicmoreno, and @michelleuribe_, shot on location at @cooktopstudio, Vogue Philippines, May 2026. by @geenarocero
