In this episode, Doc Luke joins us again with a new tropa, Lebron Xyler Dy, and together with your professional ranters, Lennon and Russel, they discuss National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquín’s essay on “A heritage of smallness”.

Bakit nga ba mahilig tayong mga Pilipino sa tingi-tingi, sa maliit? And why can this be detrimental to our growth as a nation?

Yan ang argument ni Nick Joaquín sa kanyang essay at yan ang pag-uusapan natin in this episode.


The video shown in this episode was from YouTube, “A Heritage of Smallness – Nick Joaquin” by Brief History Explains (uploaded 2020).

Nick Joaquín’s original full essay, “A heritage of smallness” (1966) can be read here in Andy Uyboco’s blog.
