Re-release - The Ongoing Case of Bree Jonson
September 18, 2023 12:55 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBTwo years after her death, justice for Filipino artist Bree Jonson remains elusive. This is frustrating, heartbreaking and a stark reminder that the wheels of the justice systemin our country is so slow and so hindered by power, influence and wealth that it might as well be stationary at this point. I decided to re-release this to help the case in some small way, to have people care more or care again, to get her name out again because her family deserves closure and we, as Filipinos, need t...

But in the...

The Story of Bennylyn and Jellica Burke
March 19, 2023 17:42 - 50 minutes - 116 MBIt was 2021 and most of the world was still in the tight grip of the COVID-19 pandemic that started the year before. Countries had implemented strict lockdowns. Life as we knew it came to a grinding halt and we were being bombarded by daily updates of COVID deaths, as if it was just a part of our lives then. It was therefore all the more jarring when news out of the UK talked of a missing Filipina and her young daughter. The news stood out. It was not COVID-related but, as it turned out, it ...

The Ongoing Case of Bree Jonson
October 14, 2022 07:44 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBFor the past year, I have been following this case closely. Something about the circumstances surrounding this case deeply bothered me from the very beginning. I followed reports and articles written about Bree and her death for over a year now and have collated all these reports in blog posts in Lagim's blog. I have now used these reports to put together a sort of case review in this episode, in the hope that people will not forget about Bree and the fact that her death is still unsolved to ...

The Gana Family Tragedy

A listener suggested this case through the case suggestion list and I am glad I was able to cover it.The case is about a Filipino-American family in California who was considered unassuming and very much run of the mill. At least for those looking from the outside looking in. But all was not well, especially for mother Annamaria Gana who in 2010 received a devastating cancer diagnosis. Everyday was a fight for the mother of two. By May 2011, it al...

I have featured this last year on my old Patreon and back then the trial in this case had not started yet.

The Life and Heroism of Macli-ing Dulag
June 09, 2022 23:01 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBIn the telling of Filipino history, the stories and heritage of the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines are often missed if not completely erased. This is very much our loss because the Indigenous Peoples of our country are a small looking glass into which we could see a future that we could have had, had colonialism not happened. They stand for protecting ancestral lands, nature and for continuing with practices that we have long forgotten.From the midst of the Indigenous Peoples in Ifugao...
