"Born Here, Born There" is a podcast that challenges everything you think you know about being Filipino. Co-hosts Manolo Almagro, a first-generation Filipino-American, born in NYC and Ricky Baizas - born in Manila, immigrated to California as an adult, bring radically different perspectives to conversations about Filipino-American identity, culture, and community. From interrogating "Filipino time" and colonial mentality to debating politics, family expectations, and whether utang na loob is love or manipulation—no sacred cow is safe. With humor, honesty, and occasional heated disagreement, these two Titos explore the contradictions of Filipino culture: the beauty and the baggage, the traditions worth keeping and the ones worth questioning. This isn't your typical "celebrate our heritage" podcast. It's two Filipinos trying to figure out what being Filipino actually means when you're caught between two worlds—or born into just one.
