Uncovering Palitaw: Leaving, Staying, and Sacrifice with Anton Galvez and Jayce Pasibe

In this episode of Wildlights, we sit down with Ralph Anthony Galvez and Christian Jayce Pasibe to uncover the story behind Palitaw — a moving Filipino play that explores family sacrifice, OFW realities, migration, grief, and the emotional tension between leaving, returning, and staying. From the growing Filipino theater scene in Dubai to the deeply personal experiences that inspired the play, this conversation dives into the quiet complexities of Filipino family culture: compromise, responsibility, unspoken apologies, and the pressure to always endure for the people we love. We also talk about how art and storytelling can reflect social issues often forgotten by overseas Filipinos, including displacement, flood control projects, and emotional distance from home. Through humor, honesty, and heartfelt reflection, this episode captures what it means to be Filipino far away from the Philippines. Whether you’re an OFW, theater lover, creative, or someone navigating family expectations and identity, this episode will resonate deeply.

The Wicked Conversation ft. Irene Domingo & Onofre Guiao

In this special Wildlights episode, we step into the emerald glow of Wicked: For Good for a deep, character-by-character reflection on the musical that refuses simple heroes and villains. Joined by my friends Irene Domingo and Nono Guiao, we unpack the inner worlds of Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero, Madame Morrible, Boq, Nessarose and the Wizard, looking beyond plot and spectacle into the emotional, moral, and psychological forces that shape who they become. This isn’t just a discussion about Wicked—it’s a conversation about identity, power, friendship, public perception, and the cost of choosing yourself in a world that demands conformity. We talk about how each character mirrors real-life tensions: being misunderstood, performing goodness, complicity, courage, and the quiet bravery of moral reckoning. If you’ve ever questioned how labels are formed, how narratives are controlled, or how relationships transform us “for good,” this episode is an invitation to sit with those questions—and maybe see Oz, and yourself, a little differently.

episode The Highs and Lows of an OFW's Hosting Career with Mary "Host Mayumi" Cruz artwork

The Highs and Lows of an OFW's Hosting Career with Mary "Host Mayumi" Cruz

The life of an OFW is anything but easy. Between the demands of work, adapting to a new culture, staying connected with loved ones, and carving out time for personal passions, it’s no wonder many feel burnt out—or even give up. But my guest today is built differently. Meet Mary Joy Cruz, better known as Host Mayumi—a woman whose presence lights up every room and every event she hosts. She’s not just a bright personality; she’s a Wildlight in the truest sense. In this episode, we talk about the parts of her work that fuel her soul, the challenges she faces as an OFW, and how she continues to serve, inspire, and bring joy to others despite it all. This is a conversation about resilience, the power of family, the dignity of hard work, and the beauty of living in service.

Look at the Stars! Your 2025 Star Sign Themes with Xian Dale Espartero

We are now at the start of 2025, and are probably curious to know what this year has in store for us. And while we can never be sure, perhaps, the stars can? In this episode I speak with one of my good friends, Christian Dale Espartero. Christian, aside from being an architect, faculty member, is also my go-to tarot reader. From time to time, whenever I have personal problems in work or love life, I ask him to do a reading for me, where he would send me insight that helps me make a decision or not. In this episode, we do exactly the same for all twelve signs, letting you guys know what your themes will be for 2025.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
