Bb. Melanie is the famous blogger behind Todo sa Bongga. Listen as she narrates her story in cute pinoy portal podcast.

Miguel accepted the Cute Pinoy Portal interview about the subculture in a gay society the so called “Partee and Play”.

Partee and Party (PNP and PnP) is a phenomenon/ event and subculture of recreational drug users who engage in sexual activities with one another, either one-on-one or in groups. It is also called chemical session, chem session, and partying. It is very famous yet discreet among MSM in the Philippines. And so, The term is often but not always used by and associated with gay men and men who have sex with men (MSM).

The drug of choice is typically methamphetamine, known as crystal or tina in the gay community or Ice. Other "party drugs" such as MDMA and GHB are less associated with this term. It has been called an "epidemic" in the gay community nowadays.

I was very interested to tackle about the topic since personally; I witnessed it during my travel in Boracay, Holy week vacation in Puerto Galera and/or during gay parties in some gay-oriented bar in the metro. Ecstasy is very famous and truly it is discreet yet rampant within the said subculture.

Within the subculture – there are various terminologies that even me – I don’t know the meaning. E.i, Fly High, Slam, Partee and Chill, and etcetera. The main goal of taking these drugs is recreational and it leads to arousal those results in practicing unsafe sex.

The term party and play - and pay has emerged as a warning that partying and playing leads to bareback sex which increases the chances of contracting HIV and may result in other consequences such as neurological damage and resistance to HIV drugs

Meanwhile, Miguel 20 years old who came from a prominent family exposed the said (not so) underground gathering of elite people to party and it involves taking prohibited drug.

Listen to our episode as we discuss about it.

An interview with a SPA Owner

Allen is a 30-year old masseur from Pampanga who fights his own battle at the urban zone in Manila. He was 24 when he first worked in a massage parlor in Cubao w/o the awareness how the business really operates. Scarcity of resources is the major reason why he became as masseur.

“Mahirap talaga ang buhay sa probinsya at high school lang ang natapos ko” he said.

He wanted to earn money for his family when he got married.

“How would you describe your work in one word?” I asked.

“Fisherman – because just like a fisherman – sometimes there’s abundance and there scarce. “he said with teary-eye.

“I am responsible in my own paddle” he added.

Allen became famous in a Forum “FR Central “- a portal where-in clients shared common significance - massage. Majority of his clients gave him kudos and positive feedback.

“ARTISTA NGA KUMUKUPAS – AKO PA NA MASAHISTA” – he emphasized those words.

Upon hearing those words – it made me realized that all of us are created in fairness. There are reasons why Allen entered this kind of job – a job that the society condemned. However, in reality ,this society is also a stakeholder why masseurs exist. And so never judge anybody because in every people’s course of action – there‘s an underlying reason. You just have to open your mind and pay attention to their story.

Pay attention to this episode because podcaster Nathan and Allen gave their two points of view. Their argument will let you decide on what to do if you also experience this situation.

Everyone probably has at least one, if not many, relationships they knew they shouldn’t have gotten into it. Your mind is most likely the culprit every time this happens. You analyze a guy you encounter and try to rationalize getting into the relationship for a variety of reasons. You may be bored, have poor options, or recovering from a disastrous relationship, and he just may be the best of the worst. Your mind could possibly be thinking a million things like, well this could be convenient, he likes me so much, or in my case, he seems all right, I guess this could work. All these things usually pertain to the great personality traits of the guy and ignore how strange or horrible he probably is, causing your brain to temporary silence your heart shouting “Don’t do it!” in the background. Logic is equally as important as remembering what your first instinct was and listening to what your heart is telling you. Yes, your mind is rational and reasonable, and it has helped you figured out so much in life, like mathematical problems, or how best to strategize other areas of your life. However, when it comes to matters of the heart, isn’t it best to listen to your heart? When you have gotten into a regrettable, brain-induced relationship, you will quickly see things souring. You will notice an obvious grimace on your face as you reject one of his calls, or when you ignore his text message. You will blow every misstep on his part out of proportion, because inside you know you never should have been with him. Even though you have already declared yourself as part of a committed relationship, in a short while your eyes will start to wander to other men. Soon everything in connection with the relationship will get so tedious and distasteful, that you will just try to avoid it all and escape to your friends. If you are experiencing these symptoms of an all logic based relationship, it is advisable to be get out of the relationship as soon as possible. You pseudo-significant other, in most cases, won’t realize that you aren’t really into it, so you should just end it before it causes greater heartache for them, or causes you greater break-up guilt. You should always follow your heart, but also take into account what your brain has to say, to make you the most happy. Time isn’t running out. Be patient and find someone who your heart and mind both agree with. This will save you from spending countless hours from determining if you are in the right relationship or treating the other person as you should. You will know it’s right, when a person satiates both your mind and heart perfectly In this episode,  Let us hear from our guest speaker and podcaster Nathan this Valentines Day Special
