EP 41: 'Noy-pi' | with Chef Sharwin Tee
from IndieCo Hosted by IndieCo Podcast
It's a known fact that we Filipinos are a mixture of various races. Our ethnicity is a product of various races being molded together. As true as this fact is, some members of our society still view half-Filipino citizens as aliens to our land. The worst part is, they actually get discriminated by full-blooded Filipinos. Just like what this week's writer Sharwin Tee experienced back then. Biologically, he may be a half-Chinese and half-Filipino, but he is definitely not a "check-in". He is a proud Pinoy and he explains why in this week's featured essay, "Noy-Pi." Sharwin's essay was first published on February 5, 2005. Today, he joins our new host, Joshua Onsay, on his first hosting session with Young Blood to talk about his experience as a Chinese-Filipino, what it means to truly understand racial discrimination and its nuances and of course, what he's excited about these days. About the guest: Sharwin Tee is a chef, television host, and author. He hosts Let's Do Lunch which appears on GMA NewsTV and was the host of Curiosity Got the Chef. He also co-hosts the Sini Gang podcast. About our partner: The University of the Philippines' Consulting Group (UPCG): Now in its second year, The Business Building Bootcamp (BBC) of the UP Consulting Group aims to educate small business owners on ways to take their business to the next level.
