This episode of TRGGRD goes live from Palm Grill, a Michelin Bib Gourmand–awarded restaurant celebrated for serving authentic cuisine from the South of Mindanao.

The gang hangs out with the people behind the success — Nelson Canlas and Chef Miggy Moreno. They talk about building a restaurant with purpose and consistency, and how to level up without losing your roots.

With Nelson, the conversation gets real about talking about showbiz and stories the right way — facts first.

Mark Oliveros sits in with the TRGGRD! barkada this episode, joining Cheska and Thea on the podcast.

This is TRGGRD! — served hot, smart, and on point.

New year, new me—but in this episode, we ask the question we all secretly relate to: “Bakit masarap ang bawal?” From forbidden crushes and guilty pleasures to choices we know are risky but still feel tempting, the barkada gets real about why “bawal” often hits different.

Joining the discussion is Kapuso actress and Bubble Gang favorite Analyn Barro as the gang records straight from Kauri Taproom for a slightly naughty, very unfiltered episode.

Joining the conversation is Chinkee Tan, motivational speaker on Money, Mindset, and Success, helping unpack why saving feels impossible for so many young adults today.
