  • 17. Light skinned vs. Dark skinned ft. Samantha Evira

    Yeah we know, even in the Philippines there’s a big thing about whitening products; being ‘lighter skinned’ is deemed more ‘beautiful’ - is this really the case? Crazy to think here in London we want the sun to tan and get darker to look more ‘bronzed’ and ‘glowy’. Which is the complete opposite in the Philippines apparently. 


    In this episode we talk about the beauty standards over here and over there, oh and we have a special guest who’s all about beauty - Samantha Evira. 


    Catch us on Instagram for all the chismis all week long @22chismis and for all things beauty @samanthaevira 💅🏼

  • 15. Mum he’s just my friend
    Do you have any close friends of the opposite sex? You do?? How??? Nah we’re joking, it’s an iffy one. Some people think you can and some people think you can’t.
    Having a platonic relationship with the opposite sex seems out of the ordinary for many Filipinos. There are a lot of mixed views on the topic of being ‘just friends’. In this episode we dig deep in our thoughts about it with our male friend Ryo! We came to one of the conclusions that our parents relationship with their friends affected our friendships now!
    So can you be friends with the opposite sex? We want to hear from you! DM us at @22chismis, lets discuss 🤓

    Filipino mums just want us to be plain Jane’s buttttt we live in a big big London where we are able to express ourself however we desire, right?! 

    We want to hear your stories too so we’ll wait for you in our DM’s @22chismis, catch you there! 💇🏻‍♀️

  • 13. Living in the Philippines... uh maybe!

    In this episode Gianne emphasises visualising & taking action can make your dreams come true. What do you think? 

    We talk about whether we would be able to hack living in the Philippines for a couple a months and what we would do out there. It’s so different to London, but if we were to come out of our comfort zones it could happen... but... uhhh we still don’t know! 

    What would you do? Let us know @22chismis on Instagram! Orrrrr message us individually to motivate us in doing what we got to do 😅

About 22 Chismis

From the publisher's feed

It’s important to learn about culture especially somewhere as diverse as the city of London. Only recently people are starting to highlight the fact that there is a Filipino culture & having the desire to actually learn about it. Whether it be perceived as good or bad, it’s still our culture that should be embraced. Being born and raised as a girl in East London, we go through and grow through it differently, if you’re intrigued on how. Give us a listen!
