You kept asking for this, so let's go!Nung nag post si Pads Albert about his reaction to this popular Netflix film, maraming umasa na magkakaroon ng full PadsCast episode about it! Buti na lang may dalawa agad na nag yes to join us in this discussion about how an animated Kpop-inspired film saved Joan from spiritual dryness, spoke to Vanya as an artist, performer, and worship leader, at kung paano napatanong si Pads Albert kung ito ba ay isang Christian movie in disguise!So, tara na, and let's laugh, talk, and sing together in PadsCast episode 122!
Ganoong kasiksik ang Jubilee experience that we are having another episode, but this time with my codelegates and Catholic Content Creators Kia Abrera and missionary couple Jpaul and Viv Hernandez.
This is probably our longest episode ever, pero siksik na siksik eto pramis: may tawanan, mas maraming tawanan...at maraming magagandang baon at aral.
We hope this inspires you to make the most of the remaining Jubilee months, a special time that won't come again til another quarter century. Enjoy!
Lumipad ang aming team, este si Pads Albert lang pala, papuntang Vatican to attend the first ever Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers. At napaka rich ng mga naging karanasan ni Pads sa iilang araw na yun, lalo na para sa mga taong naghahangad o tinatawag ni Lord na magmisyon sa digital world as a content creator.
Pakinggan ang mga "spiritual pasalubong" ni Pads Albert kasama ni Pads Khris in this new episode!
Punong-puno ng pag-asa ang first guesting ni Fr. Jun-G of the Philippine Jesuit Prison Service, and he's now back to continue the overflow of hope. Ngayon pag-uusapan naman namin ang kwento ng mga PRL (Person Restored of Liberty) or dating tinatawag lang nating mga excon—ang kanilang hirap humanap ng bagong simula at lalo na ang mapatawad ng iba at ng kanilang mga sarili. Dahil dito nabuo ang kanilang Ex-Preso, ang coffee cart that is so much more than serving drinks.
Ang storya ng groundbreaking program na ito at ang mga behind the scenes struggles kasama ng kanilang coffee consultant na si Pads Albert sa latest episode ng the PadsCast!
Babala: may iyakan ang episode na ito.
Naging mabigat sa lahat at lalo sa aming mga pari ang news of an Italian priest who took his own life. And so we gathered to share our most candid reactions and comments about this situation. What can we learn from this news about our priests? Paano ba mas masusuportahan ang mga pari para sa kanilang ministry? And how can even this inspire a more mature faith and deeper hope in us Catholics?
All this and more with our returning guest hosts, Pads AJ and Pads Edong!
🎙️ HABEMUS PADCAST!
White smoke? Black smoke? Warrior Popes? Scandalous Borgias?And what if the next pope is... your parish priest who makes great coffee?In this episode of PadsCast, we dig into the mysterious (and sometimes messy) world of the Conclave — from Pope Francis memories to the most outrageous popes in history, and why predicting the next one might say more about us than the Spirit.
Expect holy trivia, awkward facts, and a reminder that even when the Church gets weird, God stays faithful.

We're back after a month-long break.
At kasama namin ang isang batang pari mula sa Diocese of Paranaque, who despite being just short of 3 years as a priest already has so much experience and wisdom. Mula ministry, prayer hanggang exorcism and burnout, isang makulay at masayang kwentuhan with our guest, Fr. Kevin Joshua Cosme!
So this is part 2 of our Valentine's special, and this is our longest episode ever.
We cover the central figure in most comments: kaming mga pari—mga homily na di makalanding, mga questionable lifestyle choices, and yes, our opinions on abuses and transparency/accountability in Church.
Ang daming napag-usapan, kaya naman umabot kami ng 1.5hours. So buckle up and listen when you can.
Survey says . . . WOW! Ang dami niyong hugot sa tanong namin!
For love month, we decided to ask you: Bakit masarap/mahirap mahalin ang Simbahan? At di namin akalaing ganung karami ang makukuha naming responses!
Sa dami, this is just part one of our response to your answers. For part 1 we are focusing on two of the most common answers: the people/community and the Mass.
Sa recent na usapin ng sex education, nakita nating napakarami pang pagkakataon that we Catholics need to learn how to communicate our stand on secular issues clearly and charitably. At sa totoo lang, mukhang marami pa ring Katoliko ang di pa kayang gawin ito. Enter Jay Aruga and his first book "Conservative Ka Ba?" is the perfect read to help us walk our talk as Catholics in a woke, triggered world. This and his inspiring story of conversion in Episode 113 of PadsCast, now on Year 5!
Before we get to more episodes, Pads Khris and Albert first sit down for much-needed kwentuhan tungkol sa aming 2024 and looking at what to expect for 2025.
Tamang chill lang tayo bago namin tuluyang simulan ang 2025 episodes, which we're all excited for you to hear.
Medyo nangingilid luha ko sa episode na to.
From an unlikely source we find hope fitting for Christmas. Fr. Firmo Bagayo, Jr. is a jesuit assigned in prison ministry, and his stories and realizations from serving what is arguably the most marginalized sector of society will inspire and challenge us at once.
Nawa'y maging daan ang interview na ito para maalala, ipagdasal, at mag-abot tayo ng tulong sa mga kapatid nating nasa piitan.
Kasama din dito ang nakakakilig na kwento kung paano sinuyo ng Diyos si Pads Jun-G na maging paring Heswita.
All this with our usual tawanan at kulitan in a truly special episode of The PadsCast.

BULAGA! We're doing this surprise drop of an episode as we had an equally surprising on-show reunion with The Catholic Comedian himself, Mr. Romar Chuca.
Isa sa mga pinakamalaking episode namin ang kanyang unang dalaw, and he's back for this Christmas kwentuhan kung saan lalamnan din ni Romar ang kanyang mga more "controversial" takes on our Catholic faith.
We close looking at 2025 and seeing what plans Romar has to continues with his unique digital mission of blending culture, comedy, and Church.
With the recent first ever Catholic Digital Influencers' Night and the Catholic Social Media Summit, perfect timing na ilabas ang episode na ito on . . . Catholic Content Creation!
To all aspiring creators or avid consumers of content (sino bang hindi?), this episode is for you. Puno ng tried and tested wisdom from viral Catholic creators ang usapang ito, with guests who have tens of millions of views between them—Bro. Kirby Llaban of The Fired Up Life and Couples for Christ, and returning guest Bro. Bernz Caasi of Unboxing Catholicism and Hallow.
May this episode inspire you to make Gospel more visible through your own online presence, and most importantly, pray for all digital missionaries. Dahil nasa online ang laban, at kailangan namin ng inyong tulong, dasal, at pagsali.

We’re back from our mini-break, mga Ka-Padscast! 🎉 Pero bago namin ibahagi ang mga reflections mula sa aming retreat, samahan niyo muna kami sa isang malaliman at personalang kwentuhan tungkol sa mga nagtrending na discussions tungkol sa mga Catholic Pinoy sentiments on family and “utang na loob.”
Kasama sina Pads sa maraming naantig at naluha in the literally emotions-filled Inside Out 2. Pero kasabay nito ang tanong: so saan papasok si Jesus sa mga pinakita nito? how does faith inform our emotional and character development?
If there's one person who can help us tackle this fine intersect (intersect?!) of spirituality and psychology, it is no other than best-selling author and sought-after speaker, Doctor Michele Alignay.
Mahaba haba ito pero sobrang malaman, kaya sit back and ready your hearts for this emotional rollercoaster of an episode.
At long last we finally have on the show a priest whose voice is heard by thousands every day through Hallow and his own successful online ministry: Sa Madaling Sabi (SMS). Pero higit pa dito, tunay ko syang hinangaan ng malamang siya ay isang chaplain ng COURAGE Ph, a Catholic ministry for those with Same-Sex Attraction or who identify as other genders.
Malaman, makulay, at masaya—isang ka-abang abang na episode na naman ng PadsCast kasama ang nag-iisang Fr. Franz Dizon.
