  • Ep. 009: Good Match for the Job?
    Apr 18 2022

    Happy Easter guys, happy Resurrection day! I know, I wasn't able to post anything for almost two months. I guess I underestimated how busy I was going to get. As many of you know, my work is related to Philippine elections, and things are really heating up less than a month before the polls. For this episode, let me invite you to listen to one of the things we have been working on. This is the first episode of NAMFREL Huddle, a show that we did live over Twitter Spaces, and for this one, we talked about how important it is, in choosing whom to vote for, to match candidates' qualifications with the responsibilities of, essentially, the positions that these candidates are applying for. Join me and the rest of the NAMFREL National Secretariat Team in this Huddle, this week and for the next few weeks.  The Real Life and Postcard Views podcast, hosted by ME, Paolo Maligaya.

  • Ep. 008: Talking Movies
    Feb 21 2022

    Hi, how are you? I hope you and your family are doing OK. For this episode, I am going to talk about movies, more specifically, the 2022 nominees for the Academy Award for Best Picture. I'm going to tell you what I think about each of the nominees, and which one I think could win the top prize. So grab some popcorn and listen, and stay for a post-credits sequence (wink wink).

    Jan 31 2022

    Hey everyone. How are you? I do hope you and your family are feeling safe and healthy. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, so I figured we should talk about...poetry. It's that, or heart disease, so poetry it is! For this episode, we are again joined by professor, poet, and author Alvin Cruz. So set aside some time, because we are going to rhyme! (And I'm sorry, that's really bad!) The Real Life and Postcard Views podcast, hosted by ME, Paolo Maligaya.
