    Chinese New Year 2026: Why some Feng Shui advice doesn’t work

    Every Chinese New Year, feng shui advice floods our feeds—lucky colors, money corners, quick rearrangements meant to “reset” the year ahead. But what happens when those changes don’t seem to do anything? In this episode of Thought Bubbles on Teka Teka, we sit down with Pauline Rana to unpack the gap between mainstream feng shui tips and the more personalized framework behind classical feng shui. Instead of adding another tip to the pile, this conversation looks at why following broad advice can sometimes leave people disappointed — especially when the system behind it isn’t meant to be one-size-fits-all. If you’ve ever tried feng shui and felt unsure whether it worked, this episode explores why that disconnect might happen. If you want to learn more about Pauline Rana’s work, you can find her on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and her website fengshuiandfortune.com. We will leave her social media handles in the episode description below.

    ‘Not in this economy’: How Gen Z is navigating work and stability in the Philippines

    “Not in this economy” has become shorthand for how many young Filipinos are navigating adulthood today. In 2026, the Philippine economy continues to grow — but not evenly, and not in ways that always translate into financial security for those just starting out. While official indicators point to stability, Gen Z faces persistent challenges around underemployment, wage stagnation, and delayed milestones. In this episode of Thought Bubbles, we sit down with Christian Jimenez, a CPA-lawyer and economics professor, to unpack what the numbers are actually telling us — and where they fall short of capturing lived experience. We discuss GDP, employment quality, income realities, and why economic progress can feel abstract on the ground. Beyond the data, the conversation looks at how young Filipinos are adjusting: building skills outside traditional career paths, leaning into digital and community-based work, and rethinking success in an economy that no longer follows linear timelines. This episode is produced by Bubbles Magpayo and engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.

    Xiao Chua at Maki+Fiesta: History, disinformation, and public memory

    How do we defend history in an age of speed, noise, and disinformation? In this live conversation from Maki+Fiesta 2.0, historian, educator and author Professor Xiao Chua joins Lyn Olavario and Hannah Tasarra for a candid conversation on public history, technology, and why truth matters—especially for younger audiences. Recorded in the middle of the festival, the discussion touches on creative platforms, collaboration, and the shared responsibility of keeping history accessible, accurate, and alive. From classrooms to content creation, this episode looks at how the past continues to shape the present, and why we can’t afford to stop telling these stories. This episode was produced by Hannah Tasarra and engineered by Jem Bunao. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.

    In the stands for Alex Eala: Filipino fans and tennis culture up close

    What does it really feel like to watch Alex Eala play live — not on a screen, but from the stands? In this episode, we are joined by journalist and writer Carla Lim Teng-Westergaard to talk about the experience of attending professional tennis matches as a Filipino fan: navigating silence and applause, reading the crowd, and learning how tennis culture works in real time. Drawing from firsthand experiences watching Alex compete overseas, this conversation looks at tennis not just as a sport, but as a space shaped by history, class, and unspoken rules — and what happens when new audiences enter that space with curiosity, pride, and enthusiasm. As Filipinos show up in growing numbers to support Alex Eala, this episode asks what it means to belong, to learn on the spot, and to cheer with awareness without losing the joy that brought us there in the first place. Carla also wrote an article covering this topic for Business Mirror. You may read the article here. This episode is produced by Bubbles Magpayo and engineered by Anthony Tobias.

    Alex Eala, tennis etiquette, and the learning curve for new Filipino fans

    Alex Eala has put Philippine tennis in the spotlight — and with it comes excitement, new fans, and a learning curve. Tennis in the Philippines is having a moment, and as new audiences fill the stands and global attention turns toward the country, this episode unpacks the growing pains of a sport entering the mainstream. What does it mean to support an athlete well? How do we balance passion with sportsmanship? And how can this moment help build a more informed, welcoming tennis culture? In this episode, we are joined by Iza, a Learning and Development professional based in Australia, whose post on tennis etiquette sparked a much-needed conversation — not from a place of shaming, but from wanting people to enjoy and respect the sport. If you want to read her post, you can find it here. This episode is produced by Bubbles Magpayo and engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
