Usapang pag-ibig in November? Bakit hindi! In this episode we talk about love and an essential part of it that many have written off as a thing of ancient past: chastity. At makakasama natin si Bro. Jo-I Villas ng Live Pure Movement, whose passion for this mission is fueled by his own love story with his wife—a love story so beautiful that it could only have been written by God himself. Makinig na may kasamang kilig at malaman kung bakti ang chastity ay hindi lang tungkol sa relasyong romantiko, kundi susi sa tunay na kaligayahan at kalayaan—in this latest from the PadsCast!

Ganoong kasiksik ang Jubilee experience that we are having another episode, but this time with my codelegates and Catholic Content Creators Kia Abrera and missionary couple Jpaul and Viv Hernandez. This is probably our longest episode ever, pero siksik na siksik eto pramis: may tawanan, mas maraming tawanan...at maraming magagandang baon at aral. We hope this inspires you to make the most of the remaining Jubilee months, a special time that won't come again til another quarter century. Enjoy!

Punong-puno ng pag-asa ang first guesting ni Fr. Jun-G of the Philippine Jesuit Prison Service, and he's now back to continue the overflow of hope. Ngayon pag-uusapan naman namin ang kwento ng mga PRL (Person Restored of Liberty) or dating tinatawag lang nating mga excon—ang kanilang hirap humanap ng bagong simula at lalo na ang mapatawad ng iba at ng kanilang mga sarili. Dahil dito nabuo ang kanilang Ex-Preso, ang coffee cart that is so much more than serving drinks. Ang storya ng groundbreaking program na ito at ang mga behind the scenes struggles kasama ng kanilang coffee consultant na si Pads Albert sa latest episode ng the PadsCast!

🎙️ HABEMUS PADCAST!White smoke? Black smoke? Warrior Popes? Scandalous Borgias?And what if the next pope is... your parish priest who makes great coffee?In this episode of PadsCast, we dig into the mysterious (and sometimes messy) world of the Conclave — from Pope Francis memories to the most outrageous popes in history, and why predicting the next one might say more about us than the Spirit.Expect holy trivia, awkward facts, and a reminder that even when the Church gets weird, God stays faithful.📍Listen now on Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you get your holy hot takes.#PadsCast #HabemusPapam

So this is part 2 of our Valentine's special, and this is our longest episode ever. We cover the central figure in most comments: kaming mga pari—mga homily na di makalanding, mga questionable lifestyle choices, and yes, our opinions on abuses and transparency/accountability in Church. Ang daming napag-usapan, kaya naman umabot kami ng 1.5hours. So buckle up and listen when you can.

Sa recent na usapin ng sex education, nakita nating napakarami pang pagkakataon that we Catholics need to learn how to communicate our stand on secular issues clearly and charitably. At sa totoo lang, mukhang marami pa ring Katoliko ang di pa kayang gawin ito. Enter Jay Aruga and his first book "Conservative Ka Ba?" is the perfect read to help us walk our talk as Catholics in a woke, triggered world. This and his inspiring story of conversion in Episode 113 of PadsCast, now on Year 5!

Medyo nangingilid luha ko sa episode na to. From an unlikely source we find hope fitting for Christmas. Fr. Firmo Bagayo, Jr. is a jesuit assigned in prison ministry, and his stories and realizations from serving what is arguably the most marginalized sector of society will inspire and challenge us at once. Nawa'y maging daan ang interview na ito para maalala, ipagdasal, at mag-abot tayo ng tulong sa mga kapatid nating nasa piitan. Kasama din dito ang nakakakilig na kwento kung paano sinuyo ng Diyos si Pads Jun-G na maging paring Heswita. All this with our usual tawanan at kulitan in a truly special episode of The PadsCast.
