from Help! We Started A Podcast! · host Ryan and CC
Melodrama, guilt trips, and emotional receipts — welcome to the Filipino concept of utang na loob. In this episode, we tear apart the cultural debt that makes you say “yes po” even when you’re dying inside. From family manipulation to workplace exploitation and the romantic hostage situations disguised as love, we explore why gratitude can feel more like extortion with a smile. Sarcastic, blunt, and absurdly relatable — this one’s for anyone who’s tired of being billed for debts they never agreed to.
