Who said you can't party on a Monday night? Esquire Philippines started a busy work week with free-flowing drinks, lively music, and a celebration of achievements and shared pride. It was the annual Man at His Best, held last November 18 at Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts in Pasay City.
Esquire Philippines' Man at His Best is the local iteration of a global signature event where we celebrate extraordinary Filipino men and women reshaping society as we know it. For its 2024 edition, we honored nine mavericks and legends in film, music, business, politics, and entertainment alongside almost 200 friends and guests.

The night started with messages from our partners, including Nissan President Yasuhisa Masuda. The moment also highlighted one of Esquire Philippines' latest feature formats launched this year: Esquire Garage, where we champion new cars, collectors, and industry leaders in the automotive industry. The November issue, "A Weekend With Nissan Z," is co-presented by Nissan.
