Stereotypes – we’ve been boxed into them, and we’ve done the same to others. Is stereotyping good? 

Do we like or it is something we should do away with?  For our Season 2 ender, Canada crew Jill crowdsourced some of the most common stereotypes for Filipinos living abroad. We came up with a good list and talked about them in this episode. This one is also a sort of back to basics for us – no guests, no gimmicks - just the 3 of us chatting and laughing and dishing out our thoughts about a certain topic, like when we first started.  We are very grateful to the support you, our Ihawaiians, have been giving us, and we hope that you continue to join us on our journey as we continue to explore the colorful life of living abroad.

If there is one thing that binds us Filipinos, no matter where we are, it is our undying love for the Motherland. Some may argue that the Philippines is currently experiencing turbulent times, and the nation has never been more divided. But if we are not known for our resilience, then we are not known for anything else. Whew. That was heavy. 

In this episode, the Ihaw Ihaw Crew together with our special guest, former spokesperson & program manager for the anti-poverty programs for the Office of the Vice President Leni Robredo, Georgina Hernandez-Yang, discuss the importance of staying connected with the Philippines while living abroad. Georgina joins us from Boston, Massachusetts, and she sheds light on how and why it is critical to be informed and involved with what is happening back home.  If it sounds a tad too serious, it is because it is, but we made sure to keep it light and fun, as you’ve come to expect from us.

Ayee Macaraig.

But if you’ve been wondering where she’s been the past few months, well, your Ihaw Ihaw crew has found her and got to talk to her about living in Europe as a student.  Currently in Denmark to pursue a master’s degree in Journalism, Media and Globalisation under an Erasmus Mundus scholarship from the EU, we had such informative and fun discussion about the importance of being a journalist in this day and age, the challenges of living abroad as a master’s student, getting one of the world’s best scholarship award, and much more.

You wanted to learn more about being a student abroad, and we heard you. Now we’re giving it to you.

From the Philippines/Canada to the world. Literally.
