Hardcore Publishing House, Inc. is a private company based in Makati City, Philippines; organized by a group of highly-motivated individuals of diverse talents and expertise, all professionals in their respective fields, but with a common passion for writing, photography, art, and most of all, running.
Pure love for the sport spurred these hardcore runners to come up with frontRUNNER – a bi-monthly magazine for runners, by runners – a pioneer publication of its class in the Philippines.
HPHI’s mission is to celebrate the Filipino runner, to keep him informed, entertained, and inspired through an effective, lasting and affordable medium.
Our vision is to fuel the passion for running, and to sustain this head-long dash toward community wellness.
