   Sidewalk Stories

   The sidewalk is an endless sea of people. It is a common ground for the thousands of hopeful feet that walk on it everyday. A diverse place that is always in a hurry, mimicking the frenzied activities of the streets. But there are permanent faces in the sidewalk that seem to defy its frenetic nature–sidewalk vendors and transport drivers. Amid the speedy momentum of the sidewalk affairs, these people–who have witnessed the same picture day in, day out–have learned to put up with it. This podcast presents the daily voyage of itinerant vendors and drivers who brave the unending flux of people in order to earn a living.

   Tartanilya: May Tingog Pa Ba?

   The bustling street of Leon Kilat reveals a parade of chariots or tartanilyas that was first recorded to appear in the 1850s. With Cebu City's assimilation to modernize public utility vehicles, allegations of being an image of animal cruelty, and with the onslaught of the global health pandemic, the popularity of these historical pieces of Cebu's transportation heritage is placed on the verge of its feared demise. In another eye-opening episode of Normalite Speaks, lend your ears to Jane as she unfolds the tartanilya's history, the reasons behind its downhill popularity, and the coachman's drawbacks in pursuing a less sought after job.

   Bag-ong Bayani: Sakripisyo ni Mama

   It’s no longer a shocker for Filipino families to have one or two members leave the country for greener pasture abroad. Our Overseas Filipino Workers are our ‘Modern Heroes’ who sacrifice their life and their being for the sake of the family’s betterment. Six in every ten OFWs are women, mostly mothers hoping they will be able to give their children a much brighter future. However, the aspiration for a brighter future is accompanied by a real battle, not only for those who left, but also for those who remained. This is Marilou Omambac’s story of love and sacrifices for her family and how her children John, Jelo, and Marmelou see her as their hero, their embodiment of hope, and their source of strength.

   Kahidlaw

   Parents are God sent presents, a pure treasure and a priceless honor to be blessed with to their children. How lucky we are as humans to experience and acknowledge we have special beings with the assurance that we can depend and reckon whenever or whatever circumstance that may come our way. However, not everyone possesses abundant fortune; some individuals encounter abandonment, belong to broken families and others are orphans. The story is about a man, Joseph Madaiton, 24, who lost both his parents from a gruesome incident, ambush, at a young age. A story of misery and aspiration that covers the whole story from being wounded soul into a healing solitary.

    Sinsilyo

    SINSILYO. In its common dictionary definition, it is a flat, typically round piece of metal but to our indigenous brothers and sisters, particularly the Badjaos, it is more than its physical aspects. It is their most prized possession that keeps them going, striving, and fighting in the face of modern-day deprivation and ethnic persecution. So, in this episode of Normalite Speaks, open not just your ears but also your hearts as we tell you more about the real-life misery of the Badjaos as they hunt for coins not underwater but on the noisy, traffic-filled, and dangerous highway of the town of Consolacion, accompanied by their cheery rhythms and whimsical chants. Furthermore, pay attention to how professionals, governments, and non-governmental organizations are dealing with their current situations in order to provide the inclusivity and recognition they truly deserve.

    COLONicles: The Gold Street of Cebu

    Colon, notably distinguished as the "Oldest Street" in all of the 7,107 islands of the Philippines, is celebrated not only because of its moniker but also due to its fine and exquisite anatomy. Others may see it as the whereabouts of affordable offerings. However, many refer to it as a palace of memories that are as precious and indestructible as gold. Imprinted on its pavement are indelible stories, and cemented on its high walls and pillars are echoes of the past that may be dampened but never forgotten. In this episode of Normalite Speaks, let us take you to Colon, even in the comfort of your homes. And keep your attention glued because what’s coming at you isn’t only a page of its history, but a book containing its impact on the people. Find out how it has changed the lives of those who stay and pass by it, and experience the marvel of this old but gold street through your ears. Credits Director: Bryan G.
