2023 is almost over! And to close things out before we get to our grand finale of the year, we decided to do something… a little different? Or maybe not?

In what is apparently essentially in the grand tradition of our reflections on highlights (Episodes 19.5, 140, 157) and/or airing of grievances (Episodes 4.5, 25.2, 142, 180), and not the amazingly creative new thing Producer Mike had hoped he had come up with, we look back on the year and talk about the things in the Filipino Community that we noticed, appreciated, or maybe didn’t appreciate so much… and nomiated them for “Awards”! What kind of Awards you may ask? Why the honor of being recognized (or called out) by our crew as being:

• The Hottest Topic
• Best Trend
• Worst Trend
• Best Filipino
• Worst Filipino

And so on…and maybe in a twist that might actually be a new thing, we want you to also nominate and vote on award winners! So look out for opportunities to do that if you follow us on social media… and if you dont, what better time to follow us on Facebook or Instagram?
