Happy New Year... now let's talk about the mess.

Your Titos are back to break down the Philippines' chaotic transition into 2026. We're covering the long-awaited Discaya arrest (finally!), but asking the real question: is one contractor enough to satisfy a nation demanding accountability?

Then we dive deep into the Cathy Cabral case, the veteran civil engineer and alleged whistleblower whose "suicide" has more holes than a ghost infrastructure project. Convenient selfies, missing files, no entourage, and a body found at the exact site of an overpriced flood control project? We're not buying it.

Plus: Congressman Richard Gomez physically assaults the Philippine Olympic Committee president on camera... and faces zero consequences. Classic.

We end with a call to action: If there's going to be a revolution, maybe don't hold it at EDSA again. Just a thought.

This episode: Corruption accountability, conspiracy theories, and why your Titos are exhausted but still watching.

What happens when an action star promises every Filipino a million pesos to solve poverty? Senator Robin Padilla's absurd presidential campaign pitch isn't just bad math (113 trillion pesos for a 6 trillion peso budget)—it's a symptom of Philippine politics' deepest problem: nobody has clean enough hands to point fingers.

Your Titos dissect Padilla's colorful past from jail conversions to senate floor fights, and why his populist play mirrors tactics from Elon Musk's Pennsylvania lottery to global technocrat oligarchies. But the real story is President Marcos Jr.'s four strategic bills—from blockchain transparency to anti-dynasty legislation co-authored by... a dynasty. The Marcoses are playing 4D chess while Sara Duterte watches the doors close behind her.

When everyone's compromised, who's left to demand accountability? 26 minutes of uncomfortable truths about power, corruption, and mirror images between Philippine and American politics.

When a Philippine government official suggested Filipinos could celebrate Noche Buena on a 500 peso budget, the internet erupted. In this episode, Manolo and Ricky unpack why this tone-deaf recommendation hit such a raw nerve with Filipino families everywhere. From the sacred tradition of the Christmas Eve feast to the reality of today's prices, we explore what happens when elite officials tell ordinary citizens how to budget for their most cherished holiday traditions. Is this scandal a convenient distraction from ongoing corruption investigations? And why does this feel eerily similar to what's happening in America with affordability debates? Join your favorite Titos as they break down the math, the outrage, and the deeper issues of delicadeza in Philippine politics.
