The P*I* Podcast

In light of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Catholicism in the Philippines, we invited Julien Carandang to discuss why and how it has affected Philippine politics. Our discussions tackled the Filipino Catholic Church as an organization whose impact on local and national politics straddles both governance and ethics. Overall, we engaged in a more nuanced understanding of Church-State-Society relations in the Philippines beyond stereotypical portrayals of the Church as a monolithic and outdated entity.

The Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world and arrival in the Philippines has attracted criticism across social media as a celebration of colonialism. Between nation-building, myths, and colonial legacies, we tackle the following issues: why do we still want to "kill Magellan"; how do we address this bloodlust; how should we make sense of the past to move forward as a nation.

Slice of P*I* #2 On Mental Health: "Tililing", Satire and Filipino Discourse

Satirist and Director, Darryl Yap, has courted controversy with his upcoming film Tililing, which discusses mental health. Netizens and prominent figures like Liza Soberano claimed the posters and trailer do not treat mental health with seriousness or respect. We discuss the role of satire in social critique,the inadequacy of filipino vernacular in discussing mental health properly and how to move forward from this controversy.

As the Philippines commemorates the 35th anniversary of the EDSA People Power, we critically examine the myth that emerged from this historic event. While many believe it is a milestone of Philippine Democracy, others see it as emblematic of our current political problems. Some people experience what can be called "EDSA fatigue" where we lose faith in the meaning of the event. What should we do given this crisis on our understanding of this important historical event? How should we tackle EDSA as a myth?
