Asia In The Shadows

In the season and podcast finale of Asia In The Shadows, I explore a slightly obscure case from the motherland, the Philippines. The case takes place in Narra, Palawan, a place that never before made any headlines up until that humid month in July 2004. I do not want to give too much away but please be warned as the content of this episode can be truly triggering. The title is kinda giving it away already, so please make sure you are prepared for that.Listen now to the very last episode of Asia In The Shadows before it goes on an indefinite hiatus.Check out How I Met You - An Asian Podcast about Love here: https://linktr.ee/howwemetThank you for the support you have shown in the last 10 months.
