We Can't Be Friends

In this episode of Pinay Millennials Unfiltered, JoJo and Denise get real about the friendships that shaped us, the ones that held us down, the ones that challenged us, and even the ones we had to outgrow. We’re talking about the lessons we didn’t realize we were learning at the time… and how those experiences quietly defined how we show up for our friends today. From loyalty and growing pains to setting boundaries (and actually honoring them), we unpack what it means to love your people without losing yourself. Because let’s be honest, not all friendships are meant to last forever, but every single one teaches you something. We’re sharing our stories in the hopes that you feel seen, understood, and maybe even a little more confident in protecting your peace. If you’ve ever had to choose yourself, rethink a friendship, or redefine what “being a good friend” looks like… this one’s for you. 💛

Why Is Sex Such A Taboo In The Philippines?

Mga Mars, let’s talk about it… 👀 In this episode, Denise and JoJo dive into the unspoken, the awkward, and the deeply ingrained—why sex is still such a taboo topic in Filipino culture.

We’re sharing personal stories, cultural observations (with a side of the Alvin Arragon controversy!!!), and the things we wish we were taught earlier.

This is your safe space to listen, reflect, and maybe even unlearn a few things.
