What makes one a Filipino? Join us on this quest of self-discovery with guests who've proudly carried the flag internationally. We'll disembark with world-renowned National Artist for Cinema Kidlat Tahimik who grew up in Baguio and was instrumental in turning the City of Pines into an artists' hub. Then, we'll meet bemedalled, record-holding para-athlete Arnold Balais who faced the challenge of a lifetime climbing Mt. Apo in Davao in crutches, but it also propelled him to become an inspiration for many. Follow Escape: Stories from the Road on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you get your podcasts.
