The Howie Severino Podcast GMA Integrated News

Howie Severino talks to Ceej Tantengco-Malolos, a leading advocate for female athletes and host of the ground-breaking podcast, “Go Hard Girls.” 



Ceej describes the impact of Olympic gold medalist Hidlyn Diaz and US basketball star Caitlin Clark, while bemoaning the lack of professional opportunities for women to play in the Philippines. 



Braving the online backlash, she has famously called out the objectification of women athletes, misogyny in sports, and violence against women. 



She also talks about working in the lion’s den of the PBA, a league she is influencing in her job as a social media producer. 

The iconic landmark on the Pasig River famously burned in 2023.


Ivan Henares, Secretary General of UNESCO's National Comission of the Philippines, explains its historical and cultural value.

27-year-old artist Renren Galeno’s parents used to ask her that question. Not anymore, not after her illustrations were part of “Searching for Maura,” a ground-breaking investigative report in the Washington Post that was a finalist for the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes.



Discovered because of her comics on climate anxiety, the Davao native gave a unique Filipino perspective to a major American journalism project that unearthed a long-buried scandal involving the US government’s Smithsonian Museum.



The project also blew open a hidden part of Philippine history that saw Filipinos displayed in a human zoo at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.



Galeno tells Howie Severino how she convinced her parents that art was a viable career choice and what it was like to collaborate with investigative journalists.
