This week’s Apex Express features an exclusive interview with Filipino-American activist Melissa Roxas, who was abducted and tortured for 6 days while on a medical mission in the Philippines in 2009. She will share her experience, talk about the progress of her case, and what is currently being done to address the human rights crisis in the Philippines.

This is also Apex’s once-a-month hip hop program, featuring songs from Asian & Pacific Islander hip hop artists, as well as an interview with local Bay Area rapper Jern Eye.

Hosted by Kiwi Illafonte.
