The Pinoy Code is my love letter to Filipino culture — messy, magical, and full of meaning. I'm Phil Andrew, your proudly Pinoy host with way too many questions and just enough answers. We’ll dive into the “why” behind who we are — from our music and media to our history and quirks. It’s part deep dive, part personal chika, and always full of heart. Whether you're in the Philippines or miles away, this is your witty, warm, and sometimes dramatic guide to being Pinoy. Reach out: philampong@gmail.com IG: instagram.com/philandrew23

    why every Pinoy can sing [code 1]

    In this official pilot episode, we’re belting our hearts out in karaoke nights and uncovering why music is basically our national love language. Why is it that everywhere you go, there’s a Pinoy ready to hit the high notes? Is it in our DNA? Is it nature… or nurture? Maybe it’s time we go back in time and find out what our ancestors’ relationship with music really was. Who knows—maybe then it’ll all start to make sense.
