  • MAD Kwentuhan 41 with Kuya Big Jay: "Becoming a Big Voice for a Reason”
    We’re back with another fun and exciting 3rd season for our MAD Talks Podcast! For this season, the guests will be from our very own MAD Talks Podcast (MTP) Team, who will share their personal experiences and learnings to our avid listeners. In this new episode, our lively duo, Small J and Catriona J, get to chat with one of our MTP Podcasters who was gifted with a deep and well-modulated voice – Kuya Big Jay! He is currently working as a Broadcast Journalist for People’s Television Network in Davao and currently I am M.A.D.'s Vice President from the Countryside. His first MAD Camp experience was through the Builder’s Camp and right after, he was able to organize a MAD Camp in Davao. Truly, our voice is a very powerful tool that we can use to create change or impact on the lives of other people. Kuya Big Jay was given this voice to share the Mindanaoan way of life to his fellow volunteers. Through this, he was also able to expand the I Am M.A.D. community in Mindanao. Join us in this episode to know more about Big Jay’s inspiring story in becoming a big voice for a reason.

  • TRAILER | MAD Kwentuhan 38 with Ate Aviec
    MAD Knb?
    Our quest for self-discovery could be one of the greatest adventures of our lives. As we seek to find our purpose, we slowly discover and unleash our potentials. It is a process of recognizing our vulnerabilities, but at the same time, growing and expanding our horizons as we find deeper meaning of who and what we really are.
    In this episode of MAD Talks podcast, Ate Aviec shares her journey of self-discovery and how she continually finds her purpose in life. She is currently working as the Head of the Grants and Healthcare Unit in Metrobank Foundation. Her first MAD Camp was in Tarlac in 2011. Joining the camp gave her the opportunity to showcase her skills that she didn’t realize she had before. Helping the other people has also given her a greater sense of fulfillment.
    Self-discovery doesn’t necessarily mean, doing self-gratifying deeds, but instead, sharing your time and energy to others. It is by serving others that we gain meaningful connections, which eventually changes our perspective in life and guides us to the path of discovering our purpose.
