----

Kamusta and welcome to another episode of the Fox and Burger Podcast! If you can pardon my bad Tagalog, I’d like to officially announce that we’ve made it to the Philippines! Joining us on this journey today are Rita and Drago. Rita has been in the fandom since 2017 and is a lovely binturong. Drago has been in the fandom since 2012 and is a handsome derg. In this episode, we talk about being a furry artist in the Philippines and the Filipino furry community overall. We finally made it to a new country in 2022, so let’s give our wonderful guests a big awoo!
