    Status Update: How's Your Relationship with Art?

    In this episode, we're joined by three incredible artists: Ira, Yuni, and Mike. These talented individuals were featured in Hiraya Media's 2021 Visual Campaign, "How do you fall in love with creating again?" With our Hiraya Talks! host, Ysa Chong, we delve into the intricacies of our relationship with art. Whether emerging from past hardships or still navigating ongoing challenges, we're here to check in and see how these artists are feeling about their creative endeavors. Think of this episode as a virtual check-in, akin to the familiar prompts on social media platforms. Instead of asking "What's on your mind?", we're exploring the question, "How's your relationship with art?" For many of us, the journey of maintaining a passionate connection with our artistic pursuits has been marked by frustration and sadness. It can feel as though a vital part of ourselves has waned, leaving us adrift in uncertainty. Do we persist, reignite the spark, or simply let it be? As we celebrate Valentine's Day, let's not only honor romantic relationships but also pay tribute to the profound bonds we share with our creative passions. Join us for an intimate and enlightening conversation with Ira, Yuni, and Mike as we navigate the complexities of nurturing a fulfilling relationship with art.

    From A Sociologist's Perspective - The Road Abroad is Paved with Utang Na Loob

    There are many aspects to the Filipino culture. Most of them are flowery and beautiful, some are ugly and painful. We have played the feel-good tapes over and over again so we’ve decided to talk about the other side of the coin—the ones we don’t recognize that exists. Hiraya Talks! brings in Professor Louie Ignacio from the University of Santo Tomas Department of Political Science to talk about the history of Utang na Loob; its bad, its ugliest and its downright worst. Let’s learn how to break the cycle in this week’s episode.
