We’re frank, fearless, and irreverent. We’re also Filipino, and we’re here to flip the narrative on all things culture-, race-, gender-related and more in the new global-parochial world.
We’re Laura Verallo de Bertotto, Luis de Terry and Bambina Olivares, three Filipinos of mixed heritage who’ve chosen to return to the Philippines after many years away. To be honest, we’re still trying to make sense of this crazy, chaotic but beautiful country that frustrates and fascinates us every day.
It’s been a year… and it’s only May. We did a live and ended up talking about popes, professors and politicians with an old friend of the pod. We didn’t quite make sense of the rollercoaster 2025 has been so far, but we’ve buckled up for the ride and are trying hard not to keep our eyes closed as we scream into the void. Still, we remain determined to flip it for GOOD.

Palibhasa Babae
Who Run The World?
To be a woman these days… it’s a minefield out there! Women are urged to empower themselves in a society that still expects them to conform to outdated notions of traditional - and reductive - gender roles. Palibhasa babae kasi! But the times they are a-changing, thanks to Gen z and Gen Alpha’s more open sexual attitudes, rekindled activism, and embrace of community. Myrza Sison, model-editor-content creator and a woman who’s broken the mold more than once throughout her multifaceted career, tells us why the young women of today may do more than shatter glass ceilings.

Whatta Guy!
Man oh man, we live in unusual times. Bye bye binaries, hello multi-hyphenates. But what does that all mean when it comes to defining masculinity in today’s world? What, indeed, maketh a man these days? And how do we detoxify the particularly toxic strain of masculinity that persists in the Philippines? We take a deep dive into all this with the artist Kristoffer Ardeña, who explores the meanings of “ang tunay na lalake” in his latest installation, Pagkalalake, a massive and provocative assemblage of idioms, expressions, slogans and utterances in English and the vernacular that challenge the traditional notions of masculinity in our society.
