Episode 100: Foreigner Meets Filipina

Ep. 100

It’s our 100th episode, podpals! And with this, we’re experimenting with a new talk format called #TelebabadMoKaya.


We’re featuring our first submission all the way from Canada—a certain Maple Girl who wants us to discuss the topic of intercultural couples!


So sit back, enjoy a cuppa, and listen as talk about the ever-so-confusing dynamics of this type of ‘ship. Plus a host of other sidebars on Spanish-looking teleserye villains, whitening products and of course, the Cafe Havana phenomenon.


Thank you for your continued support, podpals!
