PadsCast

Sa wakas nakabalik din ang paborito ng bayang mga madreng masayahin! And this time we have not one, not two, but three sisters, whose vocation stories will both enrich you and leave you breathless (kakatawa!) All this and more in Episode 134 of the PadsCast!

Muling nagbabalik ang PadsCast OG duo para pag usapan ang ilang mga natatanging pangyayari nung nakaraang Holy Week: kalapating ginapos at ginawang props sa salubong; prusisyon na sinabayan ng AI-generated prayer leaders imbes na tao, at ilang reaction ni Pads Albert sa kanyang pagiging Good Friday Special ng isa sa pinaka-kilalang podcasts sa bansa: The KoolPals. All this and more in Episode 133...

Sa pagkasiksik at paguumapaw ng reflections and wisdom ng mga guests ko, napahaba kami, buti na lang they're also very engaging and funny, kaya samahan niyo kaming paliparin ang oras sa isang kwentuhan tungkol sa mabuting paraan (at mga kakulangan) nating mga Katoliko pagdating sa ating pinakamahalagang misyon: ang pagbabahagi kay Kristo, kasama sina Fr. Migs Ramirez and Bro. Jonathan Yogawin

Nakilala ko ang batang batang pari na kasama natin ngayon sa Jubilee of Digital Missionaries sa Roma nung 2025. Wala pang dalawang taong pari, pero nakakainspire at nakakachallenge siyang halimbawa sa mga paring tulad namin at pati na sa libu-libong taong nakakabasa ng kanyang mga viral reflections sa Facebook. Pero sa kwentuhang ito mas nalaman ko ang kanyang kwento—a powerful testimony to how le...

Dalawang trending issues, both surrounding priests on social media. Ang isa, pinag-usapan dahil sa maanghang na salitang binitawan sa kanyang pagturo. The other, an influencer priest from Italy who suddenly announced he is stepping away from the ministry. Mga katanungang inspired ng mga kwentong ito, pag-uusapan nina Pads in episode 130 of The PadsCast!

"Kailan ka mag-aasawa?" "Uy daming travel pics, pero ayaw magpautang!" "Bakit palagi na lang ako?" Kung naka-relate ka sa kahit isa dyan (pero yung totoo, sa lahat no?!), this episode is for you! And not only that, but we're having this crucial discussion with our most requested comeback guest, Doc Michele Alignay! So need we say more? Click play now at sabay saba...

Here in the PadsCast we are firm believers in the power of media as matter for prayer, growth, and reflection. And in this episode we highlight two in particular that are worth watching not just for their entertainment value but for their potential to increase our faith. At para may fresh perspective naman, kasama natin sa episode na ito ang isang youth missionary, content creator, and avid fan of...

Our first guest of 2026 is a priest who took the Filipino social media landscape by storm thanks to his unexpectedly fluent Bisaya and more importantly his palpable passion for bringing Jesus to the young. From youth programs in Cebu to pastoring souls of all ages through his online platforms, this conversation with Father Sam packs so much learning, laughter, and inspiration in one episode.

Isang masaya at chill welcome to 2026 ang inihanda ng mga pads! Gamit ang roleta at ang inyong mga submissions, Pads Khris and Albert shares their Top 5 on any given topic or category. We have solid episodes upcoming for you with some amazing guests, but let's start the year na relax at tumatawa. Kaya makinig at maki-join sa comments with your reactions and your own Top 5's, as we gear our...

Before you listen, do a quick search about Fr. Marcial Maciel, and you'll know why I was looking forward to this conversion. But more than that, my guest today is an inspiring and warm missionary priest from Mexico, Fr. Alejandro Mijangos, LC. Known by the university students as Fr. Alex, his is a beautiful story of finding meaning in being generous with his life, and being sustained by one thing...

Bago magtapos ang taon (ng liturgical calendar), magsasama muli ang OG padscast duo para pag-kwentuahn ang mga naging ganap at realizations nila in this season of their life, at syempre pagninilay din tungkol sa panahon ng Adbiento a.k.a. "ang panahong di na napapansin dahil September pa lang pasko na dito." Advent brings important gifts that every Catholic would do well to recognize and...

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...

You kept asking for this, so let's go! Nung nag post si Pads Albert about his reaction to this popular Netflix film, maraming umasa na magkakaroon ng full PadsCast episode about it! Buti na lang may dalawa agad na nag yes to join us in this discussion about how an animated Kpop-inspired film saved Joan from spiritual dryness, spoke to Vanya as an artist, performer, and worship leader, at kung...

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 r...

Lumipad ang aming team, este si Pads Albert lang pala, papuntang Vatican to attend the first ever Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers. At napaka rich ng mga naging karanasan ni Pads sa iilang araw na yun, lalo na para sa mga taong naghahangad o tinatawag ni Lord na magmisyon sa digital world as a content creator. Pakinggan ang mga "spiritual pasalubong" ni Pads Alber...

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 kani...

Babala: may iyakan ang episode na ito. Naging mabigat sa lahat at lalo sa aming mga pari ang news of an Italian priest who took his own life. And so we gathered to share our most candid reactions and comments about this situation. What can we learn from this news about our priests? Paano ba mas masusuportahan ang mga pari para sa kanilang ministry? And how can even this inspire a more mature faith...

🎙️ 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. E...

We're back after a month-long break. At kasama namin ang isang batang pari mula sa Diocese of Paranaque, who despite being just short of 3 years as a priest already has so much experience and wisdom. Mula ministry, prayer hanggang exorcism and burnout, isang makulay at masayang kwentuhan with our guest, Fr. Kevin Joshua Cosme!

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.

Survey says . . . WOW! Ang dami niyong hugot sa tanong namin! For love month, we decided to ask you: Bakit masarap/mahirap mahalin ang Simbahan? At di namin akalaing ganung karami ang makukuha naming responses! Sa dami, this is just part one of our response to your answers. For part 1 we are focusing on two of the most common answers: the people/community and the Mass.

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, tri...

Before we get to more episodes, Pads Khris and Albert first sit down for much-needed kwentuhan tungkol sa aming 2024 and looking at what to expect for 2025. Tamang chill lang tayo bago namin tuluyang simulan ang 2025 episodes, which we're all excited for you to hear.

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...

BULAGA! We're doing this surprise drop of an episode as we had an equally surprising on-show reunion with The Catholic Comedian himself, Mr. Romar Chuca. Isa sa mga pinakamalaking episode namin ang kanyang unang dalaw, and he's back for this Christmas kwentuhan kung saan lalamnan din ni Romar ang kanyang mga more "controversial" takes on our Catholic faith. We close looking at 2025 and seeing what...
