Our year- and season-ender, and one of our happiest episodes. We sincerely hope you enjoyed this season, and we're very grateful for your warm response to the Liwanag Podcast.

In this episode, we recall just how important family time is. Just imagine, an entire subculture, practiced within our humble, separate homes.

We hope you enjoy this Christmas. We hope, in a way, you also found the time to enjoy this year.

Kita-kits sa Season 2 natin. We love you.

Oh. Yes.

The episode that gave us three the chance to channel our inner-weebs. It was glorious. It was fun. It was Hunter x Hunter (but not to be biased, ha?)

The three of us specialize in different fields, and every one with that sense of humility, but tune in to see how we really try to out-expert one another out in this one.

Join the discussion! What makes a great anime for you?

We are joined by Aisa's brother, Raph Mijeno. Video Game enthusiast, and overall amicable guy. The "better gamer," as Aisa calls him!

Quite the jam-packed episode here, actually. We talked about e-sports, about our favorite games, about what gaming means in this time of isolation, and how communities arise from this industry once not taken seriously.

Awesomeness for days. What are your favorite games to stream, guys?

If you listened to the Pets episode, then you'll know that Aisa really gives it her all in the "name-your-favorite" kind of questions. Needless to say, being quite the musician herself, doubling down on her time here right after Marvin and I just mentioned "In the End," and "State of the Nation".

As they say, music is our time machine and all the more reason why platforms like Spotify and YouTube are so loved by us.

These are the kinds of episodes you hear in drinking sessions. We'd love it if you could have your favorite songs for cheers as well. Mag-comment lang kayo!

Geekness overload! One of those episodes where the team just decided, "You know what? Why not? If we claim we can talk about anything under the sun, why not go for this topic?"

From there we blasted off, into the realm of childhood alien movies, alien encounters, and alien fantasies(?)

We all love ourselves some Carl Sagan, too, and buti na lang Aisa bought some quotes with her.

You, me. We are the universe experiencing itself.

A first time for us to actually read up on Halloween. Ano ba kasi 'tong holiday na 'to? Mukha na bang laos? Do you still go trick or treating?

Thankfully, the team's a geek machine, so we didn't have to delve that narrowly into it. Ang dami naming nakuha. Ano ba ang history nitong Halloween? Paano naging related dito si Guy Fawkes?

Ikaw, what's your favorite movie for Halloween?

Kahlil's favorite episode. Marvin's too. Akin din. Liwanag's favorite episode.

An app for pets can't be far in the future.

In this episode we give appreciation to our comrades for life, our buddies, alarm-clocks, and sneaker-nibblers.

And, not to judgemental about it or anything, but if a potential partner doesn't get along with your pets, is there even a point?

Your. Thoughts. Below.

Today we talk about how one man attempted to help out his fellow teachers this pandemic and how this simple action grew into something larger than what he expected.

How do you find the soundtrack of your life? And kung ang soundtrack nga mahirap na, paano pa kaya ang purpose?

We are joined by educator and education advocate, Nico Fos, for his valuable insights in finding certainty (inward) in our uncertain futures.

Nico is a dedicated member of Teach for Philippines, an NGO whose current endeavor is revitalizing the passion of Philippine educators. It is a laudible initiative that has coverage in numerous regions locally. What's more, with
Maestro Nico, we are blessed with the chance to learn about one of its programs, the Soul Workshop (inspired by the movie!)

We've always been drawn to anything Silicon Valley and the startups that make it. But what exactly are startups? Let us get the take of someone who has had a startup, our very own Aisa Mijeno!

In the age of information, data is gold. And in this episode, we are educated on one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century: startups.

Part 1 of this 2-part series attempts the concrete picture of what a start-up is, by way of verbal documentary from Aisa, who has astonishing memories in the startup ecosystem: how it all began, what were the highlights of it, and

We know the pandemic has been hard. But are there opportunities for you to take advantage of during this time of crisis?

There is nothing that light cannot touch (except black holes). I think that's why we were so comfortable choosing our name. Either that or its what three of us recently need, as all the elements of the previous-normal still surface slowly from the dark.

In this episode, we explore the bright packets of hope and clear opportunity for a healthier mindset forward.

For this one, we'd really appreciate what you have to share as well. Comment below: what are the opportunities you discovered for your passion project during these times? We'd love to know!

Ms. Hazel shares highly useful insights on self-care and treatment; mechanisms of certainty admist these uncertain times, advice which we strongly believe should be accessible.

Thoughts on the pandemic continue, but reviewing the previous episode, we honestly felt that there was still so much to be said about our mutual experiences, more so our mutual concerns.

In this episode, we take a look at the hurdles commonly encountered by us, but also adhering to the solace that is being heard by your friends.

Let's talk about the pandemic. Let's talk about COVID-19.

Everyone has felt, and may be still feeling the toil of the pandemic. The country's immersed in this major historical event – in fact, we are still living history right now.

These are Liwanag's thoughts on the pandemic. How it happened, what were the alternate scenarios, and what mindset was there to be had for us to adapt to it.

One of the greatest reassurances in today’s new normal is knowing there are people who support you. To feel that, despite the many fleeting opportunities and heaviness in action, there are people who go out of their way to pave one for you.

Women empowerment, at its core, has always been a path to self-discovery; what’s more, how to express oneself freely, gently, powerfully.

Liwanag shares time with one of the most gleaming organizations based in Lipa, Batangas – an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of women and girls, most notably for programs responsive to education, sustainable livelihood, and relief.

Thank you once again, Soroptimist International Of Lipa.

Kami ay nagmuni muni sa epekto ng pagtanda.

Isipin niyo lang 'to: may choice ba tayo para hindi tumanda? Modern science shows us all the tools we could use to stop aging, some of them even closer to an immortality-formula.

For the most of us, though, these options aren't that accessible, so we decided on adulting instead, which can mean pushing yourself through life to obtain its hard lessons.

Share your thoughts in the comment section if you feel adulting like your parents. It's such a heartwarming revelation.
