At Backstage Manila, we live for the craft. But let’s be honest: it’s not always easy. Behind every polished event, every standing ovation, every viral moment… are also the long nights, the hard choices, the pivots, the near-misses.

We have our heartaches, too. And that’s exactly why The Backstory was born.

It’s where we get real.
Where we tell the human side of what we do. The stories behind the scenes, the process, the people, the messy middle that no one usually sees.

You’ll witness how ideas take shape. How projects come alive. How wins are fought for. How setbacks are handled. How passion fuels the work.

It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s ours. And we hope, it becomes yours too. Because if you’ve ever poured your heart into creating something, or simply love the world we move in, these stories will speak to you.

Or maybe they’ll meet you where you are, and stay with you long after.

Expect creative survival tips. The stories shaping the scene. The lessons we’ve earned. The process, in all its grit and grace.

Welcome to The Backstory. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Coming soon from Backstage Manila.
