About this episode
In this episode, Jaemark Tordecilla explores the surprising visibility—and invisibility—of the Filipino community in Spain’s capital. From Jollibee near Puerta del Sol to José Rizal’s old haunts, discover how Filipino culture, history, and even controversy live on in modern-day Madrid. Plus, hear about the curious case of a popular Spanish biscuit named "Filipinos," and what it reveals about colonial legacies, cultural memory, and representation. Perfect for listeners interested in Philippine history, diaspora communities, and travel with a conscience.
