  • My top choice for Phil news. No more annoying music or old-time-y announcer, thankfully

    My top choice for pares about the Philippines, but there are few competitors. The music is mostly gone and so is the odd, old-time-y announcer, both of which are improvements. The stories are now all announced by fake AI voices, which is O.K. It is surprising how few mispronunciations there are. One common one is pronouncing “Sandy Co” as “Sandy company”

  • 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: Sidewalks and movable obstructions | May 22, 2026
Q: My neighbor asserts that what he is doing is legal because the cart is readily movable and not a fixed structure. Is he legally correct?
No, he is not legally correct. Sidewalks are public property and cannot be converted for private or commercial use, even if the cart is movable; doing so constitutes a violation of the law and can lead to penalties.
DEAR PAO: Complainant for unsound real estate business must be buyers or homeowners | May 3, 2026
Q: Is he correct that a complaint for unsound real estate business should be filed before the HSAC?
The columnist confirms that unsound real estate business complaints fall under HSAC's jurisdiction, provided by Section 16 of the relevant act, and that buyers or homeowners with a real interest may initiate the action.
DEAR PAO: Spouses of OFW as solo parents under the Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act | Apr. 27, 2026
Q: May I know whether I may be considered a solo parent? I would also like to know what benefits I may be entitled to.
The reader is identified as a father who has been the sole caregiver due to the wife working abroad; under RA 8972 as amended by RA 11861, a person who assumes sole parental care for at least 12 months qualifies as a solo parent and may be eligible for benefits including parental leave (seven days annually, non-cumulative) and a monthly cash subsidy plus VAT exemptions on essential child-rearing goods, subject to specific eligibility criteria.
DEAR PAO: Personal liability of corporate officers in recruitment agencies for OFW money claims | Apr 09, 2026
Q: May the officers of the manning agency be held liable to pay for my father's benefits?
Yes. Under Section 10 of Republic Act 8042 (as amended by RA 10022), the liability of the employer and recruitment agency for money claims is joint and several, and corporate officers or directors may themselves be held jointly and severally liable for such claims; once the agency is licensed, these officers are presumed to have undertaken liability for claims arising from the employer-employee relationship, entitling the worker to disability benefits and reimbursement of medical expenses.
DEAR PAO: An administrator is not an indispensable party in a civil action | Apr 10, 2026
Q: An administrator is not an indispensable party in a civil action. Is it really necessary to include the administrator in the case?
The administrator is considered a necessary party, not indispensable, when their interest is not inseparable from the heirs' interest; inclusion is desirable for complete relief, but not mandatory. Complete relief can often be achieved through joining the administrator or, if necessary, through independent actions by the administrator to protect the estate, thereby avoiding multiple litigation and ensuring that the court can adjudicate the core rights between the heirs and the contract to sell.
