In this bonus episode, we talk about Hidilyn Diaz, the first Filipino to ever win an Olympic gold medal. We discuss her inspiring background, from her humble beginnings in Zamboanga City to how she got stuck in Malaysia for over a year because of the pandemic, where she was forced to be resourceful in making her own equipment and finding money due to lack of government funding. We imagine what a movie about her would entail and somehow turn what was supposed to be a short bonus episode into another rabbit hole full of our signature laughter and singing.

In this explicit episode, we interview Frances, a Filipino love, sex and relationship coach based in Canada. She talks about the differences in sex education between the Philippines and Canada, and how this affects a Filipino woman's sexuality.
