In this Mayo Uno Labor Day special, we discuss the practice and abuses of "Red-tagging" or accusing people of being communists. Why is it a problem? Can Red-tagging be a good thing? What should we do with this problematic practice? How should we handle the reality of armed communists and the left? This and more in the episode.

In this last part of the triad on colonialism and Catholicism in the Philippines, we invited Fr. Fiel Pareja (aka "Father TikTok") to talk about the relationship between Faith and Good Citizenship. Through his  experience as both a priest and a rising social media personality, Father Fiel speaks about the need to practice one's faith and the inevitable unity between one's membership in the Church as a Catholic, and participation in public affairs as a citizen. We also learn how he has dealt with political issues, disagreements and the stress of the pandemic as a priest.

In this Slice of P*I*, we discuss the emergence of "community pantries" as a novel and remarkable expression of citizenship. While everyone praises and celebrates them, we ask questions like why are they sustainable? Why are they political? Why do they work and why are they important? We highlight the importance of "tiwala"/Trust and "hiya"/Propriety in the operations and expansion of these pantries.

Here are instructions on how to set-up your own community pantry:

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of Church-State-Society relations in the Philippines beyond stereotypical portrayals of the Church as a monolithic and outdated entity.
