A Titas & Titos Guide To… is a light-hearted intergenerational conversation that helps Filipino Titas and Titos navigate the dos and don’ts of today’s changing world, without the judgement. Laced with lambing (warmth/affection) and biro (humour), it equips uncles and aunties with tips and tools to stay connected and relevant, while also honouring our heritage and culture.
In the season finale of The Titas and Titos Guide to Lifelong Learning, hosts Maridel Martinez and John Marc Desengaño sit down with clinical psychologist Rochelle Salita to ask whether you really can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
