A brief explanation explaining why those protesting in the Philippines are against the Anti-Terror Bill. 

My allergies were acting up and phlegm was destroying my throat while I recorded this episode so I'm sorry if my voice doesn't sound like it usually does! 

Here is episode 1 out a day earlier because time is an illusion.

Not my best run and I think I still have a lot to improve on, but I hope you enjoy the episode nonetheless!

Next episode, we talk about the Philippines.
