Maligayang Pasko and Happy Holidays to our fellow listeners! Did you miss us? (Because we definitely missed you!) In this Holiday Special, we catch you up on what we’ve been up to during our 6-month hiatus, discuss cultural differences between Filipino and Western holiday traditions, and—of course—pay homage to our love for all things festive by diving into a holiday-themed drinking game. Hope you feel warm and cozy after tuning in and we wish you all the best during this holiday season!
Back by popular demand ... from us! We are bringing you Part 2 of diving into even more Filipino stereotypes! See if you agree with some of these hot takes on Filipino cuisine, education, and parental expectations for your significant other. We also get into a mini debate about Tim Hortons vs. Dunkin Donuts (don't ask us how we got there, just listen in and weigh in on this very important issue).
For this week's mini episode we will be diving into Filipino stereotypes! Tune in to see if you can relate with our reactions to some outrageous (and also very relevant) takes on the stereotypical Filipino.
*All stereotypes were found on the Culture Trip website.
What does Filipino beauty mean to you? This week, we bring you an open and vulnerable discussion about our experiences with Filipino beauty standards. There's no concealing the good, the bad, and especially the ugly – from the skin products and beauty tips that we grew up with to the inherent colorism that is rooted deep within the standards of beauty. Stick around until the very end as we redefine what it means to be beautifully Filipino.
We’re excited to bring you our first mini episode! Today, we are answering some of Google’s most asked questions about Filipinos.

We are so excited to be coming out with our first collaboration, featuring our friends over at Sliced Mango Collective!
