Recorded on April 9

We have Ferdz, a UP Manila Biology Major graduate as our guest to explain to us how vaccines work, the mechanisms of the COVID-19 vaccine that were brought to the Philippines -- specifically AstraZeneca and Sinovac, and what we can do as Filipinos to strengthen our belief on vaccination. 

What's up? 

Jon and Bry are joined by Arvin, Joseph, and John to discuss about the possible guidelines on the second year of ECQ in NCR plus -- we get a throwback on panic buying, commuting life, mechanism of education, healthcare, and church services. 

John  also gives as an overview of how life is like after recently learning that he is positive of COVID-19. 

Recorded last March 13, 2021.

Jon and Bry collaborated with Matt and Borj from the P*I* Podcast (https://anchor.fm/pi-podcastph) to share with you their insights on Flame Wars -- or from the Philippine context, online bardagulan/rambulan. Listen to them dissect the politics behind the favorite Filipino past time (brought to you by quarantine and free Facebook) -- is there a difference between flame wars among us ordinary citizens and among us and those in authority? Do flame wars actually do us any good as a society? And what the hell is a four-way sampalan?

All that and some good ol' dissing on the side. 

Hapi Balentayms!

Tonight, Bry, Jon, Joann, Arvin, and Michael talk about their personal experiences on the dreaded 'single-awareness and earthquake drill' day of February 14 -- why they celebrate it, and their cringiest balentayms day moments -- from writing sappy love letters to producing music videos for their crushes. In light also with the viral memes of 'pineapple juice and snowbear candies', they also raise awareness on practicing safe sex.

Normalize coming back from a long break!

We are back...again! Jon and Bry has been busy with their day jobs and studies -- Bry, on academic requirements and Jon, on his new responsibilities for being given a new designation at his job.

As an extension on their previous episode about cancel culture, Bry, Jon, Michael, Joseph, and their latest addition to their group, Arvin, a social studies teacher discuss about the on-going trend on Twitter re: normalization of well...just about anything! From analyzing the most absurd tweets to a deep dive of why this trend even started?

We back!

Bry, Jon, John, and Michael discussed salient points on the growing culture of 'cancellation' on social media. Know what cancel culture is -- is it normal? How to deal with cancel culture -- whether you are the one who cancelled or the one who got cancelled. Things get even more personal as they also talked about their  experience on cancelling people and the events that lead to the removal of our co-hosts and guests.

SEASON 2!

Let's start the year right with some budgeting tips! A lot of us probably have decided to take saving money seriously after all the fiasco which is 2020. Joining us tonight are friends from our group chat -- John and Joann to give us their insights on multiple bank accounts, credit cards -- advantages and disadvantages, saving on food expenses, and budgeting on dates.

We're fucking back!

Rory, Bry, and Jon will give more details on what really happened -- why we had to take a break and delete some episodes.

After all the controversies, we'll try to give our insights on some 2020 highlights -- face shields, the educational system, social media influencers, and all that  good ol' political stuff  as well as what we expect to happen next year. Joining us tonight are Ferdinand and John, friends from our group chat.

Part two of our topic on Red Flags.

We are joined by our resident activist -- Mr. Karl Patrick Suyat as we talk about the different facets of red flags in a budding relationship.

Tonight, we welcome four guests on our open-discussion re: SOGIE Bill. 

Marcel Lim Milliam - HIV/AIDS Awareness advocate and a lecturer/trainor on HIV Human Rights LGBTQIA++. He's currently the Director for Finance and Legalities at Gabay Sa Pulang Laso Inc. and Justice Access and Learning Officer at HIV & AIDS Support House Inc./Philippine NGO Council for Population, Health and Welfare Inc.; Slac Cayamanda - External Communications Officer of PioneerFTM. A trans man and a SOGIE Educator certified by Isean Hivos in Malaysia; Sariah Castro from Sulong. Sulong is an NGO that provides legal and psycho-social assistance to victims of gender-based abuse. Sariah is also a certified psychological first aider, and affiliated with Youth for Mental Health Coalition, Philippine Mental Health Association, and Psychological Association of the Philippines; and Maria Kristelle JImenez the EIC of Vox Populi PH, she's also the founder of Rebo Press Book Publishing, Associate Editor in Filipino of Revolt Magazine, and the author of Salamin: Mga Personal na Prosa.

Listen to their insights as they debunk some myths on SOGIE Bill -- Is it possible that SOGIE will stigmatize moral convictions of people who do not agree with SOGIE rights? Since there's an argument on "No to SOGIE, Yes to Family", can SOGIE bill really ruin the functions of a family? How can SOGIE Bill positively affect all  gender including those who identified themselves heterosexual? and How should we approach people who are coming out to us?
