This Holy Week is special dahil April Fool's day din. But what we will discuss in today's episode is not about foolishness, but the wisdom of the Cross (logos tou stauro) that we see in the Paschal Mystery. The Humor of God is not about laughing at us, but the subversion of all that we think that he SHOULD be and proving that his love is MORE than those.

We continue our discussion on the "Just War Theory." In this episode, we discuss what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches about this serious matter and how secular theorists also adopted this tradition. Of course, balance lang ang usapan so we also discuss criticisms from postmodern philosophers like Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jean-François Lyotard, and the radical pacifists while also trying to see how Aquinas would respond. After this episode, we ask you: are there "just wars"?---Bibliography:St. Augustine, The City of GodSt. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae A.

Is there such a thing as a "Just War"? A war that can be justified and thus MUST be done? In this episode, Lennon and Russel delve into the tradition of the "Just War Theory". In this first episode of a two-part series, we revisit the philosophy of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas and how they reconcile the reality of war with the Christian message of peace.—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com

Kaya heto bago pa mag-ingay ang inyong non-catholic friends, we will be discussing the importance of Popular Piety para sa living out ng ating faith at sa Filipino expression nito.

Bagong taon na kaya mga bagong hamon na naman ang haharapin natin. In this first episode of 2026, Lennon and Russel discuss their "Gaudium et Spes", their joys and hopes (or dahil nagkamali kami magtitle, "hopes and dreams") for this year. We discuss what we are looking forward to in our personal lives and vocation, ang aming mga wish para sa Simbahan (sa paglaya ng Traditional Liturgy, sa kalinawan ng synodality, hindi pagkaidentify sa iisang political party or character pero still tapat sa vocation of being a prophet, etc.), for the Philippines, at para sa ating lahat.Ikaw anong hopes mo for this year?—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com
"Far from being an obstacle to the exercise of Christ's unique mediation, Mary instead highlights its fruitfulness and efficacy" (St. John Paul II).In this episode, we are joined by Sir Paul Niño Oxales, a Christian Living teacher and ardent devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pag-uusapan natin ang latest "controversial" document from the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith, Mater Populi Fidelis. Banned na nga ba ang titles na "co-redemptrix" at "mediatrix" ni Mama Mary? Is the Vatican document a timely response or does it just contribute to more confusion? We also discuss yung papel ni María sa salvation history, bakit ganun na lang ang pagpapahalaga nating mga katoliko sa kanya. And many more!So, in this eve of the Solemnity of the Mother of God, join us sa usapang Mama Mary!—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com
Kapag katoliko ka ba dapat aktibista ka? Bakit ba nakikisawsaw sa usaping pulitika ang Simbahan? Okay lang ba na naaassociate ang Simbahan sa isang political party? Yan ang tinalakay nina Fr. Lennon at Russel sa episode na ito. Our baptism configures us to Christ and to his threefold mission ng pagiging pari, hari, at propeta. And the prophet announces the Good News, but also denounces injustice. Vatican II also teaches na bokasyon ng mga layko na gawing kristiyano ang pulitika. Anyways, supposedly light talks lang ito before Christmas, pero heto naging mini-rants ng dalawa at call to action to "Make the Philippines Catholic Again"!Sali na sa usapan!—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com

In this 99th regular episode, ang pag-uusapan natin ay isa sa mga paboritong philosophers nina Lennon at Russel: si Emmanuel Levinas. Kilalanin natin siya, ang kaniyang buhay at pilosopiya na kakaiba dahil nga ang priority niya ay ethics at hindi lang kung ano ang mabuti kong dapat gawin kundi ano nga ba yung DAPAT kong gawin para sa kapwa ko.Kaya tena, sit back, relax, maglaba na muna o magluto, at tune in na sa iyong paboritong background noise!—You can read Lennon's research paper, "The Other in the Time of Duterte" here.—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com

"What is love?... I wanna know," yan ang sikat na kanta ng TWICE (best girls, I tell you!). Pero, ano nga ba talaga ang love? Madaling sabihin, mahirap unawain. Minsan nga iba-iba pa pagkaunawa natin eh. Kaya in this episode sasamahan tayo ng mga philosophers like Plato, Arthur Schopenhauer, the lovers Peter Abelard and Hëloise, and CS Lewis to reflect on the nature of love. Totoo bang may "soulmates"? Baka naman fraud lang ang love? Hanggang saan ang dapat mong isacrifice for love? What are the types of love? Tama na basa, makinig na. Go!—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com—
Sabi ni Albert Camus, ang suicide daw ang foremost philosophical question. In this episode, this sad but true experience of many ang ating topic, pero ang discussion natin ay through the lens of philosophy. From Camus who said that life is absurd, but we should imagine Sisyphus happy; Marcel's hope in the meaning of life because God is the writer of our story; to Cioran's go think about suicide, pero bukas na. This is not a psychological evaluation of the phenomenon of suicide nor a spiritual advise, but a discussion through the lens of this three philosophers para sagutin ang age-old na tanong: "May sense ba talaga ang buhay? Bakit kailangan ko pang ituloy ito? Para saan ang pagkabuhay ko?"—Here you can view the clip from Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"—And, if this episode spoke to your heart—or hit you in the “tama”—share it with a friend, post about it using the hashtag #tuumt, and tag us on socials.Follow us on:Facebook, Threads, & Instagram: @tamangusapanpodcastEmail your story or question: tamangusapanpodcast@gmail.com—
We continue our discussion on the moral problem: is it always bad to lie? Sa last episode we heard Kant, Socrates, and Aquinas. In this epsiode mas jumpacked naman, we will hear from: Elizabeth Anscombe, Joseph Fletcher, JS Mill, Jeremy Bentham, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Padre Roque Ferriols, etc. Kaya tena at mag-usapang kasinungalingan na tayo!So, ikaw, lagi bang masama magsinungaling?
