    Bonus Episode: Filipino Language in Hi Nay (part 1)

    09/20/2026 | 21 mins.
    Another bit of unscripted bonus content! I discuss the subtle differences between Filipino, Tagalog, and other languages of the Philippines, and go over the names of each episode from Act 1 and the interesting context and background behind them.

    Glossary of Terms:
    Tagalog - Refers to both the language and ethnic group, and one of over a hundred Philippine languages, originating from the Tagalog region.

    Filipino - The standardized National Language which is largely made up of Tagalog with many loanwords from Spanish, English, and other Philippine languages.

    Bisaya - Refers to both the language and the ethnic group/s, and one of over a hundred Philippine languages, originating from the Visayas region. Also referred to as Cebuano (though Bisaya is preferred).

    CARE FOR GAZA is delivering aid within Gaza. As Israel's blockade is preventing food from entering Gaza, it's important to donate to aid groups working within Gaza to save Palestinian lives, and to continue pushing world governments for sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel.

    https://chuffed.org/project/190927-support-agriculture-and-food-soverignty-in-gaza-ii

    From the description by Abigail Johnson: This fundraiser is a continuation of a similar project to cultivate arable land in Gaza. For the convenience of the two landowners who're spearheading their respective projects, I've split the initiative into two fundraisers, one for each plot of land. The first fundraiser can be found here.

    Approximately $2500 from the first fundraiser was used to jumpstart the cultivation of this new plot of land. As of the publication of this campaign, the land has been cleared and plowed, and an irrigation system has been purchases and installed.

    [...]

    The plot of land to be cultivated by these funds is approximately 700 square meters, more than double the size of our original project, hence the higher starting goal of $10,000. Funds raised here will go towards seedlings, fertilizer, pesticides, wages for those who cultivate the land, and other relevant expenses. This plot of land receives more direct sunlight than the first plot. Therefore, the landowner has determined we will plant cucumbers and molokhia here, and possibly a heat-resistant strain of peppers. A small portion of the funds will be used to pay any taxes, duties, and fees associated with transferring the donations to Palestine. Depending on success, the goal and scope of the project may be expanded.
