Kaya Today?

As the annual Labor Day celebration comes near, working students continue to face challenges in an economy plagued by rapid inflation, affecting the value of their wages.

Saan aabot ang sahod mo? Gaano kabilis dumating ang petsa de peligro? Therapeutic pa ba ang pamimili sa grocery? Nabudol ka na rin ba ng 'deserve ko 'to'?

Samahan sina Trin at Albert sa huling episode nila as hosts at sa pagsagot ng mga tanong na ito. Maki-chika rin kung bakit nga ba kailangang mas palakasin pa ang panawagan para sa makatarungang living wage at pag-usapan ang lahat ng struggles bilang isang working student in this economy.

With less than 4 weeks before all unregistered SIMs deactivate, our call against SIM Registration must be louder than ever.

Para saan nga ba ito? Hindi ba ito invasion of privacy? Secure at safe ba nilang iipunin ang impormasyon natin? Pwede ba itong gamitin para sa state surveillance? Paano na lang ang ka-textmate mo kung na-deactivate ang SIM mo?

Samahan sina Albert at Trin sa pagsagot ng mga tanong na ito. Makichika rin kung bakit kailangang palakasin ang pagtutol sa SIM Registration dahil deserve nating lahat ng peace of mind at hindi ng tahasang atake sa ating right to privacy.

Three weeks have passed since the three-day jeepney strike but our call for a better transport system still rings loud.

Sino ba ang dapat panagutin sa kasalukuyang estado ng ating transportasyon? Bakit nga ba marami nang sasakyan sa UP? Bakit ba ‘di inaabot ng katabi mo ang bayad mo? Nugagawen kung nakakain mo na yung buhok ng katabi mo?

Join our new hosts Albert and Trin as they answer all of these questions at ichika kung bakit deserve ng lahat ang makatao at aksesibleng transport system.

Babae ka, hindi babae lang. As we celebrate National Women’s Month, we dive deep into what it is to be a woman in this day and age. From first period woes to double standards, ano nga ba talaga ang essence of a woman? Paano nilalabanan ng mga kababaihan ang real na real na struggles buhat ng unreal na expectations ng lipunan? Nobody likes a mad woman pero kababaihan daw ang emotional? Tunay na marami na ang nagbago, pero marami pa rin ang kailangan magbago.

Love knows no boundaries; love is love. Pride Month 2021 may be over pero hindi ever mamamatay ang ating love and support for our queer individuals.

Join Raia and Aki along with the loud and proud special guest Lance as they unpack the history of queerness in the Philippines and the struggles our FIlipino queer community continue to face.

Na-miss niyo ba ang mga kaliwa’t kanang room-to-room campaigns, debates and — for the lack of a better term — bardagulan? With the UPD 2021 student council elections now in full swing, the tradition of mudslinging among political parties is back. Except this time everything is done remotely. Candidates contending for council seats are now looking for online alternatives to promote their party slates and plans, and UP students will have to determine the direction of the student movement amidst the pandemic.

Join Raia and Aki as they reminisce about the tradition of corridor campaigning and express their thoughts on how the current online set-up affects campus and national politics.

Ever since the pandemic has shifted everyone’s life upside-down, students have had to adapt digitally with hours on end spent in front of a screen. This change happened abruptly for everyone, which implied long hours of self-education. Ilang articles at webinars pa ba ang kailangan nating basahin at puntahan to revive our last two brain cells? Kanino nga ba tayo dudulong bago tayo mapakanta ng This is Me Trying sa backlogs nating Untouchable at Forever & Always nang nandiyan?

Take a break, have a laugh, and join Walter and Joselle as they *break_down* burnout, exhaustion, productivity, and languishing for us on their last episode as hosts of Kaya Today.

In a little over a month, high school graduates will be off preparing to begin a new chapter of their lives. Ready na kaya sila? Sino nga ba ang hindi makakaramdam ng takot, stress, at kaba sa pag-aasikaso ng CETs? Sometimes you can't have the best of both worlds. You'll have to make a major decision that will define the rest of your college years: dream school or dream course?

Walter and Joselle weigh their insights and experiences on whether one should choose to enjoy the environment and culture of a university, or choose a path according to their passion.

Nabilang mo na ba kung naka-ilang swipe right or swipe left ka na? Paano mo masasabing nagiging masyadong mabilis ang lahat between you and your SO? Dapat pa bang panindigan kung ikaw na lang ang lumalaban, or is it time to let go?

Jamill and Shannah, together with Jade, try to answer these questions as they take a look back on their high school Valentine gimmicks and talk about what they went through during their biggest heartbreaks.

Naramdaman mo ba ang pagpasok ng bagong taon o feeling mo magiging Season 2 lang ng 2020 ang 2021? Are you ready to conquer the new challenges that you're about to face this year, or will your motivation only last for a couple of months before you go back to your old self?

Jamill and Shannah welcome the new year and recall how they were able to power through the ups, downs, and the loops of the toughest rollercoaster ride that is the year 2020.

Have you ever felt so frustrated with your highly unstable Wi-Fi during class? Or naiwan mo na bang naka-on ang mic mo sa Zoom nang ‘di sinasadya? Na-late ka na ba sa pag-meet ng deadlines just because hindi mo na talaga kinakaya ang sem na ito?  

Join Jamill and Shannah as they talk about the joys and pains of remote learning and why we call for ending the current semester as soon as possible.

Have you ever had a viral tweet or Tiktok video? Ilang likes, shares, followers, and subscriptions ba ang kailangan para matawag kang isang "influencer"? Are these influencers obligated to promote responsible ideologies given their wide reach on social media?

Reece and Gab, along with Dave, an RC alumnus turned YouTuber, talk about content creation and redefine what it means to influence people, more than the numbers that you see on your screens.

Did you once believe that you had a third eye? Minsan na rin bang naging sementeryo at ospital ang school or university ninyo? As young adults, what do you think are the real-life horrors in our surroundings that we should actually be terrified about?

Love and dating especially in the time of a pandemic is such a hard concept to grasp, isn't it? Also, ano ba 'tong nauuso na "quaranflings" ngayon at patok na patok ito sa kabataan? Is it okay to engage in such fleeting relationships despite the uncertainties brought about by our current situation?  

In this quite longer-than-usual episode of Kaya Today, Reece and Gab share their experiences and dive deep into the chaotic world of dating apps, ghosting, attachments, and finding "the one".

Itching to get out of your house to relive the "pre-corona" times you've spent with the people you hold close to your heart? Inggit na inggit ka na rin ba sa mga nakakalabas ngayon, 'yung tipong, akala mo tapos na ang pandemic? Oof. On their last episode together, Rai and Ther reminisce the "outside world" memories that have kept them going during these trying times. Kaya Today? takes you on a journey, or perhaps, an odyssey, like no other — from Saudi Arabia, to South Korea, to Manila Bay.

Rai and Ther discuss how they ventured into new beginnings and routines, as well as the self-discoveries they've made along the way, while being stuck in their own homes.
