BAD VIBES

Pakinggan natin ang liham ng isang listener na talagang nag-eexist at hindi namin inembento for this episode na si Jhemerlyn na dumudulog kina Jaja at Kat because of her own Toxic Titas. Bukod sa threat of bodily harm, ano nga ba ang dapat gawin sa mga Titang ayaw lubayan ang love life mo?

In the second installment of our Women’s Month speyshal series, manggagalaiti naman kami sa repetitive at walang kakuwenta-kuwentang pang-popolice ng mga babae sa katawan ng kapwa nila babae. Ba’t tayo ganto, 2021 na!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains mentions of eating disorders. Listener discretion is advised. If you or anyone you know needs help, you can go to http://www.silakbo.ph/help/ for a list of mental health resources in the Philippines.

In our most inchelekchuwel call yet, hihimayin ni Ahjummamshie ang mga nuances ng intensified toxicity perpetuating oligarchic structures in class struggle. In short, kung bakit mas bet ng mga alta na tayo’y nagaaway-away na mga tanga. Aigoo!

May pauso kami ngayong Women’s Month! Presenting: Toxic Tita Traits (Or How to Be A Good Tita)! For the entire month of March, pag-iinitan namin ang mga nakakaburyong na mga tanong tuwing family reunion, binyag, kasal, or any time you step within a 6 feet radius of a traditional Tita.

This week, we will discuss the perennial pang-inis na katanungang “Ba’t wala ka pang anak?”

Spoiler alert: Wala silang pake!

Subaybayan ang sanga-sanga naming usapan tungkol sa aversion ng mga Pinoy sa education, galit nila sa UP (kahit dun naman sila gumraduate), at bakit hindi valid answer ang “E Di Wow” kung gusto mo pa ng friends.

This episode also features an extended/1720p/director’s cut discussion on racism brought to you by the BTS Tita Army.

Sa wakas, pinagalaw na niya ang baso! On this episode, listen to our very speyshal guest (hulaan niyo kung sino!) as he makes bahagi his karanasan on an English proficiency test and why, even when it is inherently racist, we are still encouraged to live by Viveka Babajee’s infamous words and just “take it, take it!”

Sino ba kasi nagpauso na nakakaganda ang pagiging late? In this episode, tatalakayin namin ang nakabuburyong na cultural practice na dapat matagal nang extinct along with pagnininang when you’re 8 at pananapak sa bagong white shoes.

Nagbabalik ang inyong mga titang galit! Talakayin natin ang tone policing, ang pribilehiyo ng mga taong kalmado, at bakit hindi ka dapat maging isang Marlon in a world full of injustice.

Sabi nila, it’s not your fault if you were born poor, but it is if you die poor. Ang sabi namin: bullshet! In this episode, ilalabas namin ang aming mga saloobin ukol sa privilege, common manifestations nito on social media, at bakit patuloy kaming naniniwala na you are not always the master of your fate and the captain of your sitio.

On this week’s episode, tatalakayin nina Jaja and Kat ang status (read: kakulangan) ng mental health support sa Pilipinas, mga nakakaburyong na generalization about mental issues, disabilities, or disorders, onting review na rin ng hierarchy of needs ni Abraham Maslow, at kung bakit hindi talaga kami nag-iinarte.
