Summit Media, in a statement, said it will close the remaining print editions of Cosmopolitan Philippines, Preview, PEP (YES! Magazine), Topgear, FHM, and Town and Country, but will continue their digital platforms.
“These brands are already thriving online as Cosmo.ph, Preview.ph, Pep.ph (for YES!), Topgear.com.ph, FHM.com.ph, and Townandcountry.ph,” Summit stated.
As they fully switched into the digital platform, Summit Media president Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng assured the readers that the pursuit of quality would continue.
"Today, we embrace the way our highly connected audiences now prefer to consume content. As we follow them from print to digital, we will continue our relentless pursuit and delivery of quality, up-to-the minute content and a dynamic and engaging editorial experience-this time, aided by data, which now pervades and informs many of our editorial decisions," Cheng said.
"Summit Media was born auspiciously in an era of pulp and ink. We will always owe a debt of gratitude to the medium, to the brilliant teams whose dedication and efforts created magazines that excelled in that landscape, to the generations of loyal readers who not only supported their favorite brands but even imbibed their tenets and values, and to our advertisers, without whose partnership with and belief in us we would not have succeeded," Cheng said.
"Moving forward and into the future, we are excited as we continue to reinvent ourselves to become an even more compelling destination in a digital era where opportunities abound," she added.
Summit was also known for its other magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Men's Health, and Women's Health, as well as K-Zone, W.I.T.C.H., and Seventeen.
