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!

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 Albert kasama ni Pads Khris in this new episode!

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.

Livestreams, vlogs, tiktok . . . sa Simbahan? Dahil sa pandemic, naghanap tayo ng iba't ibang paraan para makapiling si God at isa't isa . . . online! Nagbabalik sa episode na ito si Fr. Pao at kasama si Bro. Ed para pag-usapan ang malawak na paksa ng Catholic Church at social media. ALSO: stay tuned to the end for a very special announcement. Enjoy! 

Yung totoo: binasa mo o kinanta mo ang title? June na kasi, at para sa marami ito ang best time para sa kasal. So for this podcast episode, the Pads will cover some common questions about Catholic weddings: mula sa kung ano ang tinuturo ng Simbahang Katolika tungkol sa kasal, kung paano paghandaan ito, at pati na kung ilang tao ba dapat, kung saan pwede gawin, atbp. 

"Lord, pagnabuo ko 'tong novena, bigay mo wish ko ha." Ganyan ka ba kay God? Genie, Big Brother, Judge—maraming "mukha" ang Diyos sa atin na parang tama pero nakaka-minus ligtas points sa'tin. In this episode, the Pads looks into how some of our widespread "images" of God are toxic, and how we can grow out of them.

Every now and then our show becomes . . . Pari Tales! Laid back, free-wheeling kwentuhan with occasional special guests. And this episode ito ay si Fr. Baste: four-month old priest, who shares about entering the priesthood during pandemic times, ang kanyang journey sa pagiging pari, at ang mga blessings and trials na naging bahagi ng kanyang paglalakbay.

"Ok lang ba magsinungaling kung . . . " Ang dami nating dahilan, ano po? Pero usapang totoo tayo sa episode na ito: is it ever okay to lie? Kelan ba sya counted as mortal or grave sin? Are there even good or bad lies? Samahan sina Pads as they weigh in on lying and why, regardless of reasons behind them, they should matter to us. 

Disgrasyang maituturing tuwing may paring nasasangkot sa eskandalo. But in this honest and difficult conversation, titingnan nina Pads kung paano natin pwedeng harapin ang mga ganitong insidente, kung paano tayo makakatulong maiwasan ito, at kung paanong sa kabila ng lahat, sa disgrasya maari ding magsimula ang grasya. 

Paano ba basahin ang Bibliya ng tama? Bakit minsan parang may inconsistencies ang sinasabi nito? And why is it important to make the Bible an integral part of our everyday life? Samahan niyo kami sa isang usapang Bibliya with our new priest and budding Bible scholar na si Fr. Oliver Par, SSP. 

Patris Corde—with a father's heart—sulat ni Pope Francis to declare the year of St. Joseph. Pero bakit? Ano bang meron kay San Jose at bakit mahalaga na siya ay ating tularan? With labor day approaching, let's look into how St. Joseph, the silent saint, inspires us to make work holy and embrace our responsibility for each other.

And so we've reached the end. In this Pari Tales episode, we look back at the podcast, our realizations and takeaways from this new experience.  Plus to end on a fun note, we played a game of questions with each other. So this it then. Til we meet again . . . in season 2!  

No mercy ang palaging sigaw ng marami. Pero tayong mga Kristiyano kaya? In a world of intolerance, cancel culture, and apathy, how do we respond to the divine mercy of God, and let others know of his merciful love? 

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 plans Romar has to continues with his unique digital mission of blending culture, comedy, and Church.

Break muna tayo sa ating regular na mga topics ngayong Semana Santa! For this bonus episode, simpleng kamustahan at kwentuhan muna tayo tungkol sa mga namimiss natin about Holy Week, mga kakaibang karanasan naming mga pari, at mga pwedeng paghugutan natin ng lakas at pag-asa sa mga panahong tulad nito.  

Paano kung di ako sang-ayon sa turo ng Simbahan? What steps can we take regarding personal doubts, questions and even disagreements with Church teaching? At paano nga ba dapat tanggapin at intindihin ang mga iba't ibang pahayag ng mga pari, obispo, o kahit ni Lolo Kiko? Lahat ng yan kasama muli sina Pads Khris and Albert. 

First guest ever! Fr. Pao joins the show for another makulit discussion on the hows and whys of prayer. May tamang paraan ba ng pagdarasal? Ano ba dapat ang expectations natin sa prayer? At bakit lahat ginawa ko na, di ko pa rin makuha yung prayer ko? All that and more in this special episode. 

Usapang kumpisal! Bakit kailangan sa pari? Di ba pwede diretso kay Lord na lang? Paano ba pinaghahandaan nina pads ang pagpapa-confess? Siguro ang Confession ang sakramentong pinaka-kailangan ng marami, pero ito rin ang pinaka-iniiwasan. Let the Pads change your mind and help you embrace the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 

Tapatan na naman! Pads Khris and Albert shares personal answers to FAQs about priests and themselves. Ang showbiz ba? 'Di ito para magpasikat. It is to help demystify priests and hopefully encourage you na kilalanin ang mga pari sa buhay niyo—and thus lead to more meaningful (and more mutually ennriching) relationships between the clergy and laity. 

How does one forgive? And when? O baka naman sarili ang kailangang patawarin? Tulad ng iconic 1984 fantasy film, ang pagpapatawad ay parang isang epic adventure: minsan madali, minsan masalimuot, but always a rewarding (and necessary) journey.

Kasalanan ba pag di ka nakapag fast o abstain? Pag one full meal lang ang allowed, pwede buffet? Charity ba yan o decluttering lang? Tara at i-welcome natin ang holy season of Lent with the Pads. 

Nagva-Valentines ba sina Father? Ano namang pwede nilang sabihin about love and relationship? At bakit nga ba "What is love" ang palaging tanong sa mga slam book? These and more questions ang iikutan ng isang makulit na kwentuhan nina Pads Albert and Pads Khris.

Once a month nag-iibang anyo ang aming show into Pari Tales: our most candid and honest sharings of our personal opinions and experiences. And this time it's all about the Mass: mga bloopers, pet peeves, comments, at iba pang memorable events in our lives habang nasa Banal na Misa.

Bakit ba tayo naniniwala sa mga santo? Sumasamba ba tayo sa kanila o sa mga images nila? At sino naman ang mga santo/a na naging major influences sa buhay nina Pads Albert at Khris? Wag pahuhuli sa isang "holy conversation" tungkol sa ating mga idol sa pananampalataya!

With the recent first ever Catholic Digital Influencers' Night and the Catholic Social Media Summit, perfect timing na ilabas ang episode na ito on . . . Catholic Content Creation!

To all aspiring creators or avid consumers of content (sino bang hindi?), this episode is for you. Puno ng tried and tested wisdom from viral Catholic creators ang usapang ito, with guests who have tens of millions of views between them—Bro. Kirby Llaban of The Fired Up Life and Couples for Christ, and returning guest Bro. Bernz Caasi of Unboxing Catholicism and Hallow.

May this episode inspire you to make Gospel more visible through your own online presence, and most importantly, pray for all digital missionaries. Dahil nasa online ang laban, at kailangan namin ng inyong tulong, dasal, at pagsali.

Sasagutin nina Pads ang no. 1 question na palagi nilang natatanggap: Paano mo nalaman ang calling mo? Through this sharing we hope na tulungan kayo sa mga decisions ninyo, big or small, for 2021 and beyond. 

Pagod ka na ba sa mga paulit-ulit na New Year's resolutions? Kami din! Samahan niyo kami as we explore how our Catholic faith can help us understand ourselves and better reach our goals in life.  

Before we drop our first full episode, isang simpleng kwentuhan muna about the most unique year na marami sa atin ang gusto nang ibaon sa limot. Ano nga ba ang mga gusto naming baunin mula 2020 para sa isang (please naman!) masmagandang 2021? 

"Pads"? Ano yun? Fr. Khris and Fr. Albert introduces their new show.

Iba't ibang trending topics ang tatalakayin nina Pads Khris and Albert, pero lahat tutuhugin sa iisang tema: that our Church is both inclusive and transformative. Ano daw?! Alamin sa kwentuhang mula kay Luce hanggang sa Sto. Niño sa Cebu ay aabutin, in another episode of the PadsCast!

In this episode:

- first impressions kay Luce

-Ateneo's Mass of Welcome

- Thoughts on concerts and strict Church dress codes

Busy palagi? Parating pagod? This episode is for you!

Samahan sina Pads Khris all the way from TAGAYTAY as they talk about the importance of rest and what genuine rest really means and feels like! Saktong episode ito bago tayo tuluyang pumasok sa busy Christmas season—lahat yan with Pads Albert and Khris of the PadsCast!

It's a catch-up kwentuhan between Pads Khris and Albert tungkol sa katatapos lang nilang ganap sa MIBF (Manila International Book Fair), at mga naging issue habang busy sila dito. Mga napag-usapan:

- MIBF kwentuhan and highlights

- Reaction to "Dear Satan" Issue

- Thoughts on Pope Francis' recent controversial statement.

Jam-packed sa opinion at tawanan with the OG pads. Listen now!

We’re back from our mini-break, mga Ka-Padscast! 🎉 Pero bago namin ibahagi ang mga reflections mula sa aming retreat, samahan niyo muna kami sa isang malaliman at personalang kwentuhan tungkol sa mga nagtrending na discussions tungkol sa mga Catholic Pinoy sentiments on family and “utang na loob.”

Kasama sina Pads sa maraming naantig at naluha in the literally emotions-filled Inside Out 2. Pero kasabay nito ang tanong: so saan papasok si Jesus sa mga pinakita nito? how does faith inform our emotional and character development?

If there's one person who can help us tackle this fine intersect (intersect?!) of spirituality and psychology, it is no other than best-selling author and sought-after speaker, Doctor Michele Alignay.

Mahaba haba ito pero sobrang malaman, kaya sit back and ready your hearts for this emotional rollercoaster of an episode.

At long last we finally have on the show a priest whose voice is heard by thousands every day through Hallow and his own successful online ministry: Sa Madaling Sabi (SMS). Pero higit pa dito, tunay ko syang hinangaan ng malamang siya ay isang chaplain ng COURAGE Ph, a Catholic ministry for those with Same-Sex Attraction or who identify as other genders.

Malaman, makulay, at masaya—isang ka-abang abang na episode na naman ng PadsCast kasama ang nag-iisang Fr. Franz Dizon.

Saktong sa katatapos lang na Pentecost Sunday, ang sinasabing birthday ng Simbahan, ang isang tanong na natanggap namin: "Pads, kailangan ba ng simbahan? Personal relationship kay Jesus naman ang mahalaga, diba?

Maraming ganyan mag-isip ngayon! Kaya let's unpack that as we laugh and learn with our regular co-hosts, Pads Edong and Brod AJ!

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!

Pwede bang wag na lang mag-anak? Usap usapan ngayon sa mga young couples to be ang kagustuhang mag-asawa pero di na magka-anak. Anong masasabi natin dito bilang Katoliko?

Joining us in this discussion are Genesis and Mariel Ilustrisimo (and their kids' noises in the background), who share their own life experiences and reflections for anyone discerning whether having kids is for them or not.

Jesus, I trust in you—eto ang mga katagang kasama sa image ng Divine Mercy na ating ginugunita tuwing Second Sunday of Easter. Pero bakit nga ba tayo dapat magtiwala sa Awa ng Diyos?

Isang usapan para sa mga taong nais maunawaan ang awa, sa episode 101 ng The PadsCast!

Dumating na ang 'di inaasahan!

Kami ay lubos na nagagalak ibahagi sa Inyo ang sang milagro—ang recorded with live audience episode 100 ng PadsCast!

Just like this entire online ministry, episode 100 became much more than we ever thought it could be! With nearly 100 live audience members and the expert technical support of friends far and wide.

Kaya sit back and enjoy as we both look back and look forward to God's abundant graces through our little podcast.

Bago tayo dumating sa exciting part, isang mini episode muna para makarating sa lahat ang paparating na LIVE episode, anong dapat asahan, at kung ano ang inaasahan namin mula sa inyo.

At muli, kung nais pumunta at malaman ang iba pang detalye ng ating LIVE episode on March 2, 3pm, Saturday, at Society of St. Paul Makati, kindly go to our event page to RSVP: https://bit.ly/48uxFrZ

Kami lang ba ang nagugulat at tila nawawala sa bilis magbago ng society at culture sa panahon ngayon? Paano ba tayo kakapit sa mga timeless values at truths ng ating faith na hindi napag-iiwanan at, worse, naka-cancel ng iba?

We are blessed to have on the show a powerful champion of truth and inspiring model of how to communicate that in complex times in the person of Bro. Anthony James Perez. Here he speaks to woke culture and also specifically to the men and the values that make us. It's another learning and laughter–filled episode of The PadsCast

Naiyak na ba lahat?

Now the top-grossing MMFF film of all time, REWIND has captivated the hearts of many! At dahil baong taon at kasama sina Pads sa mga patagong pumahid ng luha sa sinehan, eto na rin ang ating pagninilayan para sa pagpasok ng 2024.

Paano nga ba mabuhay na di kailangan ng rewind? What makes life meaningful? At kelan pa naging komedyante si Lods Jesus? All that and more as we enter YEAR 4 of the PadsCast!

Ngayong paparating na MMFF ay may kasaling isang pelikulang sa aming palagay natatangi at dapat mapanood ng lahat: ang GomBurZa. We were at the press screening and we'd like to share our thoughts on why we deserve more films like this. At napapanahon din ang usap usapan tungkol sa Fiducia Supplicans. Pwede na ba talaga ang irregular unions in the sacrament of marriage? Ano ba ang hangarin ng simbahan sa paglabas ng statement na ito? Lahat yan sa siksik na siksik na edition ng PadsCast!

Thank you! Kayo ang may sala kung paanong sa isang pambihirang pagkakataon ay nabigyan kami ng award. At dahil bahagi kayo ng panalong ito, we'd like to let you in on this raw episode of our reactions and reflections from such an achievement, and what we hope it will inspire in you, our beloved listeners and viewers.

Mahal naman ng Diyos ang lahat diba? Pero bakit may mga tao o grupong tila bawal sa Simbahan?

Sakto sa pagdiriwang natin kay Kristong Hari ang iba't ibang balita ngayon tungkol sa relasyon ng simbahan sa mga FreeMasons, LGBTQIA+, at iba pang communities na may "irreconcilable" beliefs with Church teaching.

Here's a candid conversation that offers not really answers but questions—questions that we hope can help us walk the line between God's universal love and the conditions of discipleship.

Purity, chastity—meganon pa ba ngayon? These days tila tanggap at normal na sa majority ang casual sex, "my body, my choice," at pati gender ideologies. Pero bilang mga Katoliko, paano ba tayo dapat lumugar sa lahat ng fast-paced changes na ito ng ating lipunan?

At the forefront of these crucial conversations is the Live Pure Movement, at kasama nila ating aalamin kung bakit mahalaga pa rin maging chaste at paano natin ito pwedeng buhayin muli sa ating sarili, sa kapwa, at sa lipunan.

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 and deeper hope in us Catholics?

All this and more with our returning guest hosts, Pads AJ and Pads Edong!

Ilang beses na tayo nakarinig ng vocation journey ng isang pari, pero paano naman yung hindi pala pag di ka naman natuloy?

Sure na sure si Bro. Randel Serrano na magiging pari sya nung pumasok siya sa seminaryo. Pero iba pala ang plano ni Lord sa kanya.

May second chance ba sa pagtugon sa tawag ng Diyos? Paano kung mali pala ang narinig mong tawag? Pwede ba yun?! At paano mo malalaman at matatanggap na may ibang daan palang nakalaan para sa'yo si Lord?

All that and even more laughter in episode 95 of the PadsCast.

Bago matapos ang rosary month, talakayin muna natin ang dasal na paborito ng mga Katoliko at mga kritiko ng ating Simbahan! Nasaan ba yan sa Biblia? Pwede ba pampatulog ang rosaryo? Ok lang ba gawin itong kwintas? Bakit ba hindi na lang tayo dumeretso kay Jesus?

Balik OG tambalang Pads Khris at Albert sa isang episode na sana makakabawas sa mga misteryong bumabalot sa ating pagrorosaryo.
