August 24, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 38 MB

The pandemic has forced many to rethink their commuting habits, and as a result we've seen a surge of bicycle users all over Cebu.

August 17, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MB

There's a lot of bad that came with this pandemic, but that doesn't mean there aren't good side effects. One of those side effects is people taking their health more seriously.

Adventuring to Solve Real World Problems with Myles Delfin

August 03, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 32.2 MB

  My cycling obsession made me join many bicycle Facebook groups. Most of these groups focus on the typical hobbyist, but one group was genuinely making an impact on the world through bikes.   That's how I found out about the Bike Scouts Project and Myles Delfin. In 2013 after the wake of the devastation brought about by Typhoon Yolanda, they spent four months in Samar and Leyte as volunteer bike messengers.

Celebrating the Mr. Griddle Gigs with Joey Seno

July 20, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB

Remember gigs and live events? I can only imagine what it must be like once we can have regular gigs again, but it's important to move forward and do it right. Like many things the pandemic has done, it has given people an opportunity to start again.   I interviewed Joey Seno, one of the people integral in the success of the Mr. Griddle gigs that started in 2019.

A Firsthand COVID 19 Experience with Gino Reyes

June 29, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 29.7 MB

As the days go by, it seems like COVID 19 is hitting closer and closer to home. More and more people we know are being infected, and worse yet, some not making it. I think it might be wise to prepare for a future where we all get the virus, like chicken pox or the measles. I hope it doesn't happen, but in case I do get it, I would like to be prepared.   My friend, Gino Reyes, recently contracted the COVID 19. I wanted to talk to him and get a firsthand account of his experience. Like I ...

This interview happened before the lockdown, but is more relevant than ever. Recent news has shown that a sound body is important to keeping the Corona Virus at bay.

Inside Hospitals during the Pandemic with John Caing of Bombo Pluto Ova

June 01, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 38.1 MB

The pandemic is still here and it looks like we'll be doing all sorts of adjusting to it. But one thing I was curious about was what it was like inside a hospital these days. The hospital is the last place I want to end up, especially now.   So I thought it would be a good idea to talk to John Caing, a registered nurse and guitarist of Bombo Pluto Ova. Sidenote, I also wanted to use this conversation as an opportunity to tell him how much their live performances inspired our band, Resc...

Filipina Actress in New York During the Pandemic with Marie Dinolan

May 25, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 41.8 MB

One of the advantages of doing interviews over the internet is that you can talk to people from the other side of the globe. When I got an opportunity to talk to a Filipina actress in New York, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to know what it was like in New York (one of the hardest hit places in the world) during the pandemic, how they approached it? And how different it was from here?   This is an interview with Marie Dinolan, a New York-based actor performing in theater, television ...

The Future of the Food Industry, What can be done? with Meyan Lim Young of Bubble Tea Station

May 18, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 38.9 MB

It's clear that one of the industries that will need to evolve immediately is food. So much about how we enjoy this industry falls directly against the social distancing mandate. Restaurants/cafes/bars/etc. tend to encourage people to crowd in small spaces. What can businesses in the food industry do to evolve in this new normal?   I talked to Meyan Lim Young, Creator and Managing Director of Bubble Tea Station and Cebu Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of The Year 2019. Considering...

Surviving the Pandemic by Feeding the Filipino with Albert Padin

May 11, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 41 MB

One possible future brought about by this pandemic is a future of unemployment. It's a possible reality that no one wants to hear, but it's a very real thing for some people at this very moment. As a society, we should start thinking about the different measures to make sure these people have a semblance of normalcy. Part of that normalcy is making sure they eat.   Fortunately, I found the opportunity to talk to the face of The Rice Movement, Albert Padin, also the co-founder & CTO of...

Possible Doomsday Scenarios with Mozart Reina and Mark Cortes

May 08, 2020 08:01 - 1 hour - 44.6 MB

Talking about the worst possible scenarios is not being negative. It's about being prepared for the worst, doing what you need to do to come out of it the best you can, knowing that you've done that work, and setting it aside to resume the rest of your life without having to worry.   Considering the little problem that the world is experiencing right now, I think it's only right to have an idea of the many issues that could possibly bubble up because of this pandemic. With that in min...

Being a Doctor in the New Normal with Doctor Claire and Pierre Mella, John Jay Yuvallos, and Rich Arnold Tuadles

May 04, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 39.4 MB

The new normal is a real thing. There are going to be many things that we will have to rethink once total lockdown is over and while we wait for the vaccine. It's not going to be the same for a lot of people.   This is what I wanted to address when I talked to Doctor Claire and Pierre Mella. How would it affect the practice of the many doctors in Cebu? How do we adapt to the situation? Fortunately, I also had John Jay Yuvallos and Rich Arnold Tuadles on the call. They are the folks who...

Parenting in the Time of Covid 19 with Jason Almendras

April 27, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MB

Our future is more uncertain than ever. No one has an idea of what the next year is going to look like. A few things are certain - Covid 19 will be here a while, the vaccine is probably a year away, and we're all going to have to cope with this somehow.   This got me thinking. What about our kids? How can we expect to parent them in the next few months? I thought it would be a good idea to call one of my good friends, Jason Almendras, he was the first of my friends to have kids, so I ...

It's a Weird One with Rescue a Hero

April 20, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 49.7 MB

  Considering what we are all going through, it's important to spend time with people you really care about. We're still fortunate to live in a time when we can easily access our friends and family through the internet.   I've never done so many video conferences in my life, but I'm happy they exist! I can't imagine what it must be like going through the world without connection right now.   In this episode, I hang out with my friends from Rescue a Hero. We talk about nothing ...

Talking about the Pandemic Consequences and How to Cope

April 13, 2020 17:00 - 2 hours - 54.2 MB

These are uncertain times. We have to hold on for the long run. Best case scenario is that the Coronavirus quarantine will be lifted in a few weeks (although unlikely), but after quarantine, we will experience a culture of physical distancing. Who knows how long that will last? A vaccine is at least a year away so we will be living with this virus for a while. What kind of future does that look like? What to do?   This is something I wanted to talk about with my mastermind group, a peer ...

Trying to Ignore the Word Virgin with Alphecca Perpetua

April 06, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MB

This past year, I've noticed more and more people doing podcasts. It's great! The more the merrier. People realize that podcasts are a great medium for sharing thoughtful insights, learning directly from people and recording fun conversations.   This episode with Alphecca Perpetua was a fun one. She's the host of Podcast Historias - a comedy and interview podcast about music, arts, sciences, sex ed, and health. It's one of the most unique sounding podcasts out there. It may sound like...

My Favorite Episode of All Time with Rescue a Hero

March 30, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MB

Quarantine can be tough, it is for me. Every time I've listened to this episode, it has put a smile on my face. So I thought it might be a good idea to rebroadcast it. You will not learn anything from this episode, but maybe it'll cheer you up.   Also Rescue a Hero might not be an active band anymore, but we've got something coming up. Secret announcement in the episode.   Cheers!     SHOWNOTES Room Eleven Mark Cortes (Zerothreetwo Conversations episode) Jeremi...

Getting Over the 7 Deadly Sins with Job "Cookie$"Penalosa

March 23, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 32.1 MB

Whenever we look at someone successful, there's a temptation to think, "I could do that." Or to say, "He just got lucky." Or to wonder why seemingly successful people fall into the usual traps that you would never fall into.   This was a surprising topic with my conversations with Job Penalosa aka Cookie$. Most people know him as a rapper with huge music hits - Bogo, Snatcher Rap, Beplop and countless others. He found plenty of success in his music career, but that success didn't come...

Husband and Wife Talk COVID-19

March 16, 2020 17:00 - 29 minutes - 11.6 MB

I had a whole other podcast planned for today, but considering that we are at a weird/pivotal juncture in human history, it didn't feel right to publish the usual interview.   So in this episode, I found the closest COVID-19 non-expert I could find, my wife Stephanie Villarica. She's tasked with keeping our little household happy and healthy. She's much better at keeping up with current events than me, I asked her to carve out time from her very busy schedule to have a conversation abou...

Cementing Purpose in a Business with Chime Bell Osabel of Diet in a Box

March 09, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 37.1 MB

There are an infinite number of aspects to deal with when running a small business, proof that it is an art in itself. One of the most important aspects is dealing with people. Dealing with customers is one thing, but what about the people who work with you. How do you motivate them to do their best everyday? How do you have them share the same passion? How do you share your why with them?   This was my main takeaway when talking to Chime Bell Osabel, one of the partners of Diet in a ...

Giving Music Projects a Chance with Jerros Dolino

March 02, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 36.7 MB

There are a ton of people who love music. Just go to any gig and you can find them there. But I haven't met many people who love watching shows like Jerros "Jai" Dolino.   Most people know Jai as an amazing drummer. Rightfully so. He's played for countless bands. I'm most familiar with the rock stuff like Urbandub, Sheila and the Insects, Read Between the Lions, and countless other bands. But what people don't realize is that Jai really loves going to gigs. Not to play, he loves watch...

Talking About Art and Being a Full Time Artist with Sio Montera

February 24, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 39.6 MB

Prior to this interview, I did not have a sense of abstract art. I couldn't grasp the idea. As per all my podcast interviews, I was looking for a way to learn more about it.   When I first heard about Sio Montera, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to talk about abstract art. In this episode, it becomes clear quickly that I don't understand that kind of art. I wanted to learn more about it, I wanted to find a way to gain an appreciation for it. But after talking to Sio, I l...

Finding Your Authentic Self with Kymberly Maitland-Smith

February 17, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 34.7 MB

Wellness.   That's a word that is thrown around a lot, but I really wanted to get to know what that really meant. Is it self care? Is it finding healthy habits? Is it  finding better ways to think? Is it finding practices that cultivate the mind, body, and soul?   I've always wanted to have a conversation about this. So when I saw that Kymberly Maitland-Smith opened Soul Sierra, a wellness and holistic hub, I knew she was the person to talk to. There have been many times that I've pu...

What Do Art and Sports Have in Common? With Phil "Philtomato" Bawasanta

February 10, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 33.8 MB

It's surprising how you can find parallels from two things that on the surface share nothing in common. But you never know what you can learn from other disciplines. This was never more true in this conversation.   This interview was surprising in many ways. First of all, I've never met Phil Bawasanta aka Philtomato, a talented and hard working artist. Phil drew parallels where I was not expecting it. We even talked a little about sports. But as expected, he was delightful.  In the epi...

What's it like to be the Sea Games Esports Manager with Jess “Jack D Reaper” Tamboboy

February 03, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 33.3 MB

When I was a kid, I used to play a lot of video games. In fact, it was a problem, I couldn't focus on other things. It felt like the best way to waste time. It was so much fun, but at the back of my mind, I wasn't sure I was getting anything out of it.   Fast forward to today, video games is a real industry. There was even an Esports category in the recently concluded Sea Games. I was curious about this new industry so I talked to the Starcraft II Sea Games Manager, Jess Joaustine “Ja...

From Unemployed Architects to Habagat, Backyard Studios, and Harana Guitars with Junx Muana

January 27, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 34.9 MB

The Cebu Culture is one of the things I hold dear. It's not perfect, but there are so many individuals making our culture a better place. Of course, when we speak of culture, it's an umbrella term that speaks of many things.   As far as I'm concerned, Sir Junx Muana is one of the OG's in Cebu's cultural landscape. He's had a very important hand in Cebu's music scene. Backyard Studios made a name for itself by recording prominent bands and musicians like Urbandub, Franco, Max Surban, an...

Working with High Visibility Clients like Nike, Uniqlo and Revere with Myka Arnado

January 20, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 32.3 MB

You might be tired of reading this, but it's worth mentioning again and again, the main purpose of the podcast is to learn from other people. Especially those who have been in the creative trenches. That's why I've continued to reach out with the intention to learn something.   During my interview with Myka Arnado, it became clear that she thought a lot about her work. She's a graphic designer who has had the good fortune of working with notable clients. But was it really good fortune...

The History of Sinulog Dance with Ceasar Nimor

January 13, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 34.6 MB

When I first started the podcast, it was an excellent avenue to help listeners learn from other people. Most of the interviews in the beginning were about trying to extract knowledge from guests, but later on, I realized that the podcast was a perfect way to share a piece of our history.   I approached my interview with Ceasar Nimor with the hope of learning something new about our culture. He was one of the original dancers of Sinulog, and on top of that, has dedicated much of his li...
