This episode, we talk about studying and working abroad. In our experience, studying and working abroad versus in the Philippines are so different from studying and working in other countries. Sa ibang bansa, especially sa Europe, hindi masyado uso yung may degree and kahit wala kang degree, you still get a good job that pays a lot. And very accessible ang masters/PhD in other coun

This episode, we process our feelings about the Philippine elections. In the last episode, we endorsed Leni Robredo and of course, we felt a lot of feelings since the results came out. It has been a roller coaster ride, ika nga. For us migrants, mas mahirap pa because we’re far away from home and it can feel isolating and we can feel even more helpless. Parang ang layo-layo natin

If you’re still looking for romance, we have so many websites and apps to help you

Our second episode is very apt for the new year. Sabi nila, new year, new me. We try to recreate ourselves and be a better version of ourselves, and what better timing to be resolved about it than the start of a new year, di ba? Pero, if there’s another event in one’s life that will definitely change you as a person, it’s living abroad. Ang daming changes sa environment, cult

For our first episode, we will be talking about Paskong Pinoy! I think as migrants, we tend to miss the Philippines the most kapag Christmas time. But also, mas feel rin natin ang demands back home kapag Pasko – andyan ang balikbayan box, pera padala, and other things that our families expect of us.
