Who Are We?
Established in June 2025, we started as Skateboard Media with the plan to document as many homies as we could, nerd out on skate films, archive & share as many as we could, and build a deeper appreciation for the art form of skateboarding.
And so we grow, the community introduces us in various unexpected ways to make anyone inclusive: a new form to celebrate every skater from various cities, towns, and communities, leading us to rebirth and reformat our initial decision as “an online platform only”, and add something tangible, “a magazine”, which will always be embedded to our culture.
SilogSkateMag is still a collective of artists, documentarians, photographers, videographers, and filmmakers who belong to the new wave of enthusiasts and lovers of skateboarding and its culture.
The identity of “Silog”, which is derived from “sinangag + itlog” (garlic/fried rice + fried egg), is embedded in the core of Filipino food culture. It also gave rise to a process of combining the said food with various viands/dishes to expand to new combinations that are savory, rich in flavors, and textures. Its simplicity also represents Filipinos’ ways of being resourceful, experimental, and appreciative. A meal that can bring people together and share the love for good food.
We believe every skater is like Silogs, too. Armed with their styles, their roots, knowledge of the streets, adopted cultures, creativity & expression, and our history. This platform is an avenue to bring anyone who loves skateboarding together, celebrate each other’s works and passion, and share what we love (be it a good skate film, stories, or even food).
Why We Do What We Do?
Silog Skateboard Media, now as SilogSkateMag came to fruition because of a curiosity as fan of “Is there any account where we can all check our past OGs’ work, as well as the latest skate films by our homies?”
Then it birthed into an idea with the purpose of: “appreciating and celebrating past & present; and embracing our own skateboarding culture”.
Combined with our passion for this art form, we are directing our energy to the process of documenting, promoting, archiving, and telling our stories.
We are excited about what we can cook soon and where it will lead us.
