GMA Integrated News
About this episode

Rarely do we get a chance to talk to someone like Dr. Michael Tan, a medical anthropologist and professor emeritus, about almost everything under the sun.  In this conversation, he shared with us his observation about the famous Pinoy value – resiliency. Are Pinoys really resilient or do we just accept our fate no matter what?

He also talked about the dangerous effects of social media on our culture and political scene, Pinoy’s hesitancy to get tested for COVID, plus his view on ‘cliteracy’ and the power of women’s sexuality. This episode was recorded on Nov. 16, 2021.
