The year was 1996

MANILA, Philippines - ‘RENT’ was born, ‘One Sweet Day’ parked itself at #1, and Jennifer Love Hewitt was barely legal. And in the Philippines, the country’s first newspaper section for the youth was conceived—Young Star.

Next week, as we mark our 17th, Young Star reinvents itself with a new look and a new swagger. As we say ‘bye to the old, and welcome the new, we want to hear from you: “What was the biggest impact of the ‘90s on you?”

Tweet us your answers at @youngstarphils  with the hashtag #YSturns17 or Instagram your #throwback photos and tag us at @youngstarphils! Who knows? They might just come out in next week’s pages!
