So beautiful
I am a white American married to a Filipino American and I am so grateful for this podcast and the insight you offer into Filipino culture. This is so important. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Love this podcast.
Intellectual conversations about being Pilipino. I mean really “being” Pilipino. Conversations are smart, funny, thought-provoking and they speak to my soul. Salamat po.
