In the meantime, this episode is released on "Araw ng Kagitingan" or Day of Valor, and the premiere of GOMBURZA on Netflix.

The 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) was one of the highest grossing festivals our country has had in years. The top-grossing and most-watched movie from this line-up is Rewind(2023) starring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera. In this Bonus episode, I invited my Dad to discuss what Rewind says about Marriage, Gender roles, Family Values, Jesus Christ and Story-telling in Filipino films.

This episode was prompted after I discovered the exciting, incisive, and polemical book, Post-Dilawan Cinema and the Pandemic(2023) at the BLTX Small Press expo. We discuss Philippine Cinema through the lens of class struggle with the book's Author, Epoy Deyto. The conversation spans the issues of movie-going, how ph cinema alienates the poor, the ideological content of films, the intersections of politics and business in Philippine Cinema, and Metro Manila Film Festival.

Apologies if the sound for this episode is off. My microphone had technical difficulties so I had to re-dub my parts for audio clarity. For this holiday season, this episode will talk about mental health We always hear a lot about mental health. This may contain sensitive themes. We heara lot of buzzwords like anxiety, depression, toxicity, stress, trigger warnings etc . While many dismiss it as a lack of faith or resilience or a fad among the youth, there is a real phenomenon ofan increasing number of diagnoses, which need medication and therapy, and at extreme cases may lead to self-harm and suicide. Many people have integrated mental health into popular discourse but there are still other parts of society that do not understand or tolerate it. There is a lot we do not fully understand about this reality. This week, we have two guests RS Mojica and Bill Fuentes from Mental Health PH, to hopefully help us understand and demystify mental health and how ordinary citizens can address this issue.

Hello Mga Ka-P*I*, this is your host, Matt Ordonez. As you know, this is, admittedly a belated release for the third anniversary of the P*I* podcast and for that I thank all of you for listening and following the podcast until now. Today, September 21, is also the anniversary of the declaration of Martial law. For this reason, I decided to do something different and show a new piece of Philippine history. I recently came across a letter addressed to former president, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. The letter was written by the late Atty. Eufemio Domingo, who at the time was an accomplished Mabini Lawyer and would later be appointed as a Chairman of the Commission on Audit during the administration of President Corazon Aquino. He was known by some as "one of the last honest men in government." The letter was dated on August 28, 1973, almost a full year after the declaration of martial law. It conveys a very mixed message. While he does sympathize with President Marcos with the need for government control, instilling discipline on society, the curbing of a corrupt elite, and the alleviation of widespread poverty in the country, he also expressed doubts with the implementation of Martial law. He also did not necessarily believe in the immediate restoration of democracy either but proposed a more "enlightened liberal dictatorship," perhaps a compromise and appeal to Marcos' better nature in order to improve the country's dire situation. In the end, Atty. Domingo pleads for President Marcos to grant the Filipino nation a new social contract and national purpose, challenging him to be a true father of the nation. Honestly, I am not entirely sure what to feel with this document. It certainly does not neatly fit in my own views nor the views of today's political camps. What I can say is, even an intelligent man with integrity like Atty. Eufemio Domingo did not see the situation as "black or white" even during the Martial law years itself. This is only the perspective of one man but perhaps it is worth considering given the difficulty of our current situation. I share this document not to re-assert or admonish his perspective but to stir some conversation regarding our history and the meaning of Martial law. Although Atty. Domingo tried sending the letter to the president, it is unknown whether President Marcos Sr. received or read the letter The following is an audio recording of myself reading the letter as faithfully as I can for everyone to judge for themselves. I look forward to any comments or responses any listener may have. Thank you and I hope you appreciate the recording.

In this 5th of November episode, we revisit V for Vendetta - the graphic novel and film adaptation. For years, the film's protagonist, V, has been a popular symbol of resistance and political protest. We discuss the political themes and messages found in both the graphic novel and the movie adaptation before re-evaluating their applicability to today's contemporary politics. Specifically, we tackle the nature of violence and its relationship with politics, anarchism as an ideology, and political morality.

We take a detour from our usual topics and explore an increasingly important region in the Philippines, Muslim Mindanao. While the region is often associated with conflict and other pejorative stereotypes, our guest, Yashira Moner, shows us that Muslim Mindanao is far more complex; that there is much to learn from Mindanaoan culture and politics. We also discuss a variety of political, cultural, and administrative issues that continue to challenge the development of Mindanao and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. 0:00 Music 0:10 Intro 3:54 Guest: Yasmira Moner  4:40 Why Yasmira Moner specializing in Mindanao politics? 5:50 What is Muslim Mindanao? 13:35 Misinformaton about Mindanao 19:10 The goal of Muslim Mindanao 22:00 What is BARMM? 33:20 ARMM vs. BARMM 35:36  Muslim Mindanao and Democratisation 42:50 Muslim Mindanao vs. Islam in general 50:00 Filipino Muslims: Conservative or Progressive? 58:00 What are the pressing issues of Muslim Mindanao 1:02:14 Patronage politics 1:07:00 Fiscal policy 1:08:20 Territorial and Administrative issues 1:11:00 Economic Centers of BARMM 1:13:25 What is the ideal relationship between BARMM and Manila? 1:21:15 Muslim Mindanao and 2022 Elections 1:28:30 Final Remarks 1:36:00 Recommendation Sources: Thy Womb (2012) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395459/ Mindanao (2019) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11519610/ Recommendations Making Mindanao: Cotabato and Davao in the Formation of the Philippine Nation-State (Expanded Edition) by Patricio Abinales https://shopee.ph/Making-Mindanao-Cotabato-and-Davao-in-the-Formation-of-the-Philippine-Nation-State(Expanded-Edition)-i.75162109.7933757564?sp_atk=fe7c6f4e-4e19-468f-9706-d26877db85bb&xptdk=fe7c6f4e-4e19-468f-9706-d26877db85bb Orthodoxy and History in the Muslim-Mindanao Narrative by Patricio Abinales https://shopee.ph/Orthodoxy-and-History-in-the-Muslim-Mindanao-Narrative-i.75162109.4532622086?sp_atk=c10767f5-8f2f-4523-8523-9861f1b23bb7&xptdk=c10767f5-8f2f-4523-8523-9861f1b23bb7y Transfiguring Mindanao: A Mindanao Reader https://shopee.ph/Transfiguring-Mindanao-A-Mindanao-Reader-i.75162109.20514095065?sp_atk=a6244e27-460a-437b-b4cf-fad98d300130&xptdk=a6244e27-460a-437b-b4cf-fad98d300130 Two hills of the same Land by Rad D.

There is a recent box office battle between the movies "Maid in Malacanang" (a dramatization of the Marcos family and household during the last 72 hours before EDSA), and "Katips" (a stage musical about student activists posing as the "new katipuneros" during Martial Law). In relation to the wave of reviews coming from other sources, we have decided to focus on the effectiveness of these movies as propaganda, while fleshing out and providing a critique of their core messages.

In this double slice of P*I* special, we react to President Marcos Jr.'s first state of the nation address as both a performance and a summary of his priority policies. We discuss many interesting policy directions he has set but also the key issues he did not discuss. Lastly, we discuss the Ateneo shooting which caused the death of the former mayor of Basilan by an armed assassin.    Sources: Full text of the speech: https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2022/07/25/2197889/full-text-marcos-2022-state-nation-address Full Video of the speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v96VxfLjv2Q Priority Bills: https://manilastandard.net/news/314246721/bbm-pushes-19-priority-bills-for-better-government.html On the Ateneo shooting: https://www.philstar.com/nation/2022/07/24/2197693/basilan-mayor-among-reported-casualties-ateneo-shooting Triumph of the will (1935):https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey Leni Reifenstahl: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0726166/?ref_=tt_ov_dr Marcos Axes anti-corruption commission: https://ph.news.yahoo.com/marcos-axes-anti-corruption-commission-cabinet-secretary-post-080807937.html BBM Disarees with PSA report on inflation rate: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1622269/bongbong-marcos-disagrees-with-psa-report-of-6-1-inflation-rate-in-june

We are currently on a short break but will return with new episodes, topics, and guests starting August. In the meantime, we made a slice about a thinkpiece related to our teaching vocation  on "terror professors." The author," Sensei Adorador claims the culture of bemoaning terror professors is related to the general fixation on grades and latin honors rather than learning. We react to these observations and discuss the  relationship between grades, teachers and students.

Note: The first half of the episode was recorded with technical difficulties. We did our best to fix the audio and apologise for the inconsistent quality of the episode. A listener asked about Duterte's campaign agenda and on whether or not he achieved anything them. As the new administration begins, we take this opportunity to discuss Duterte's legacy, impact and lasting effects on Philippine Politics 

In the aftermath of the 2022 elections, Filipino politics is still hounded by polarization and moral outrage. In this episode, we discuss these issues with Professor Wataru Kusaka through the lenses and in response to his seminal work entitled "Moral Politics in the Philippines: Inequality, Democracy and the Urban Poor." We tackle the nature of moral politics in the Philippines, how his work is still relevant to our current situation, what has changed since the publication of this book, and how we can live with political-moral conflict in the post-EDSA regime.

History has served as both a target and a tool of politics. Historical revisionism and misinformation is currently saturating social media with backlash taking the form of deploying history as a means to forward political moral standards.

Mga Ka-P*I* Tayo na sa PIskwela para sa unang bahagi ng aming serye ukol sa estado. Tatalakayin natin ang estado ayon sa Griyegong Pilosopo na si Aristoteles. Paano ba natin mauunawaan ang estado sa labas ng pakahulugang pormal ng ating konstitusyon? Abangan niyo rin ang susunod na bahagi sa Miyerkules  (Ika-7 ng Abril) 

The Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world and arrival in the Philippines has attracted criticism across social media as a celebration of colonialism. Between nation-building, myths, and colonial legacies, we tackle the following issues: why do we still want to "kill Magellan"; how do we address this bloodlust; how should we make sense of the past to move forward as a nation.

Slice of P*I* #2 On Mental Health: "Tililing", Satire and Filipino Discourse Satirist and Director, Darryl Yap, has courted controversy with his upcoming film Tililing, which discusses mental health. Netizens and prominent figures like Liza Soberano claimed the posters and trailer do not treat mental health with seriousness or respect. We discuss the role of satire in social critique,the inadequacy of filipino vernacular in discussing mental health properly and how to move forward from this controversy.

As the Philippines commemorates the 35th anniversary of the EDSA People Power, we critically examine the myth that emerged from this historic event. While many believe it is a milestone of Philippine Democracy, others see it as emblematic of our current political problems. Some people experience what can be called "EDSA fatigue" where we lose faith in the meaning of the event. What should we do given this crisis on our understanding of this important historical event?
