  • Annoying music but few options

    This gets a higher rating because there are few other options for headlines about the Philippines. Greatest among the negatives is the music played throughout. The music makes it harder to hear the voices. Further it is distracting and terrible as music. I am aware of only one other headline podcast that has such mood music, also from the Philippines. Most do not have it since mood music is distracting and manipulative. There is also no need to read the actual printed headline; Just read the led... more

  • Quick source for local PH news, but one reporter has an annoying reporting voice

    I like the concise reporting on the latest local news but one of the reporters (Christian?) has a forced anglicized pronunciation of words, replaces a lot of “s” and “-tion” with “z/zh.” All of which gets more annoying the more he does it.

    Other than that, good job. It’s my pod source of local PH news, and listen to it alongside BBC Global news for world news and NPR shows for US news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DEAR PAO: Lawful eviction of agricultural tenants and their rights to compensation | Mar. 10, 2026
Q: Can the new owner legally remove us as tenants? If so, are we entitled to any form of payment or damages?
Yes, eviction can be lawful only if authorized by a final court judgment after due hearing, and tenants are entitled to disturbance compensation (often five years' rent) and reimbursement for cultivation expenses and improvements under the Agricultural Reform Code.
DEAR PAO: Mitigating circumstance of voluntary surrender | Mar. 13, 2026
Q: I am planning to surrender to the barangay or to the police. If it is considered a voluntary surrender, will the penalty be reduced?
Yes. If the surrender meets the elements and is sufficiently spontaneous, the court may treat it as a mitigating circumstance, potentially reducing the penalty.
DEAR PAO: When voluntary surrender lowers penalty in a criminal case | March 7, 2026
Q: May his voluntary surrender be appreciated to reduce the penalty that may be imposed upon him?
Yes, when the surrender satisfies the legal criteria and is evaluated under the totality of circumstances, it can be recognized as a mitigating factor that may lead to a reduced penalty rather than exonerating the offender.
DEAR PAO: Police blotter is not equivalent to criminal record | Mar. 5, 2026
Q: Will this police blotter affect my chances of being hired, considering that I supposedly have a criminal record at the police station?
No—police blotters generally do not automatically affect employment; they are not conclusive proof of criminal activity and should not be treated as a criminal record unless a formal conviction or judicial determination exists.
DEAR PAO: Salary increases under the company’s collective bargaining agreement | Mar 6, 2026
Q: If it is eventually proven that I was illegally dismissed, will the salary increases mandated under our company's CBA during the period of unemployment be included in the computation of my backwages?
Yes. Jurisprudence allows backwages to include the whole amount of salaries, benefits, and general increases, including increases under the CBA that were in effect during the period of unemployment, computed from the time of illegal dismissal until reinstatement or retirement as applicable.
