Christmas is fast approaching and aside from the usual bibingka, puto bumbong, simbang gabi, and noche buena there is another Christmas tradition that Filipinos have. Watching movies competing in the Metro Manila Film Festival or MMFF.

This film festival has been put on the spot recently as it is being blamed for the delay of showing the Disney Marvel movie Spiderman: No Way Home. A lot of Filipinos have shown their negative views on the film festival due to the usual low quality slap stick movies that reign supreme.

In this episode we talked about the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of the MMFF. We took a look back at some of the best MMFF films and also on the usual big ticket movies made by the usual suspects, Vice Ganda, Vic Sotto, Kris Aquino, and the likes.

We also watched all 8 trailers of the films competing in this year's MMFF! We shared our reactions and what we think needs to happen in order to elevate the state of Filipino movies.

Will the new entries be actually good? Or are we going to be greeted by the same old comedy or love story that we've seen many times in the past? Find out in this episode of In Full Context!

Now that the stage is set for the May 2022 national elections, we will start to tackle more topics that will allow us to get a deeper understanding of what the candidates' plans are for the Philippines. 

This is the first episode of our Political Ad Review series where we will dissect political ads by our presidential candidates!

In this episode, we took a look at the Kalayaan sa Covid Plan ad by presidential aspirant Leni Robredo. We discussed the content of the ad and how it was delivered. We also discussed the merits of the plans that she laid out on the political ad.

In this episode we covered the recent drama within the PDP-Laban and the fallout that it caused in the Presidential and Vice Presidential race. We talked about the withdrawal of the Dela Rosa - Go tandem only to see Sen. Bong Go file a CoC for president just hours later.  

We talked about how much the PDP-Laban feud and Sara Duterte's decision to run as Vice President under Lakas-CMD affected the winning chances of all the candidates vying for the two top posts in Philippine Government. Will this drama boost the chances of Leni Robredo and Isko Moreno? Or will the supporters of the administration just flock over to the camp of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte? Find out our predictions in this episode!

In this episode we discussed the biggest reason why people flock to alternate news sources on social media despite the prevalence of fake news on the platform. 

We talked about media framing and how the simplest of wordplay can change the way people view specific news. We took a look at some examples such as the reporting on the death of Keith Absalon, Leni Robredo's 4000 vehicle caravan, Bongbong Marcos being always referred to as the late dictator's son, and memes that are now being fact checked.

We also talked about how this can be considered as revisionism as the two sides push for their own red and pink narratives to see who will get the most support from the Filipino people.

This week we took a look at the most egregious Trapo moves and ranked them using a Tier-List! We ranked politicians dancing, poverty porn, artista collab, giveaways, huling hirit projects, political dynasties, campaign jingles, being in a wheelchair when cases appear, necropolitics, and the never ending senate hearings.

From Bong Revilla dancing to Budots, to Gloria Arroyo getting a wheelchair and a neck brace after corruption cases erupted we discussed how crazy these trapo moves are and saw which were the worst of the bunch!

This episode, we reviewed a lot of the things that we purchased this past year and decided which of them were worth it and which of them were not. This is our way of revisiting our spending habits for the year.

Now that the filing of certificates of candidacy is over, we discussed what parts of our initial prediction came true and which parts we think are still up in the air.

In this episode we discussed the successful social media push by Leni Robredo's camp, how her rebranding was a much needed break from the yellow Liberal Party, and why a lot of people are still skeptical about this change.

We also discussed the social media war that followed involving the supporters of Leni Robredo and BongBong Marcos. We took a closer look at how polarizing this issue has become resulting to severing of friendships and causing massive uproar in social media.

Additionally, we talked about the possibility of Bato Dela Rosa being only a placeholder for a possible PDP-Laban swap with Sara Duterte down the line and how Leni's run will affect Isko Moreno's chances.

The filing of certificates of candidacy has begun!

Will Rodrigo Duterte keep his promise to retire after his term?

Join us as we discuss all the possible scenarios and outcomes of the May 2022 elections' filing of candidacy.
