We Were Trained to Expect Less

from Morning Coffee Thoughts · host Gino Borlado

They act like we should be grateful for crumbs. And the worst part is, many days, we are. In this episode, we break down ten ways Filipinos have been conditioned to settle for bare minimum, from treating basic governance like heroism to tolerating political dynasties as inevitable. We trace it back to colonial mentality, unpack the quiet danger of "okay na 'to," and ask where untraining can begin.
