Lifestyle Asia’s August 2024 issue of Alpha spotlights the significance of championing all things local, with the Prieto family as examples of what can be achieved when one puts their country at the forefront.
Dear Readers,
August is a celebration of all things local, and it’s time we wholeheartedly champion the artisans and creators right here in our backyard. Our local industry is not just keeping pace, but also setting trends with world-class products and contemporary designs. Now more than ever, it’s crucial to sustain this momentum and support our homegrown talent. Many of our artisans have handed down their crafts—be it weaving, painting, cooking, or designing—through generations. We must ensure these precious skills continue to flourish and evolve.
This month, we are honored to feature the Prieto family—Marixi, Tessa, Jordan, and Athena—as our cover personalities. Their stories, spanning several generations, provide unique insights and perspectives that are both refreshing and enlightening.

A special thank you to Marixi for opening her home to us at Lifestyle Asia. Her commitment to supporting local art not only beautifies her living space, but also inspires us all to appreciate and invest in local creativity. The Prieto ladies’ dedication is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we choose to support local enterprises.
This August, let’s renew our commitment to our community’s artisans by embracing and promoting their work. Love your country, love local!
Warmest regards,
Candy Dizon
