Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates. But things were about to get even worse for the poor girl… demonically worse. IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that the average person walks past at least sixteen murderers in their lifetime. A chilling thought. But when you know that a serial killer is on the loose, you look at each stranger you meet as a potentially dangerous encounter. And right now in the UK they have a serial killer still at large targeting easy victims… the country's elderly. (UK's Senior Citizen Serial Killer) *** While the Spiritualism Movement caught fire in the 1840's with the Fox Sisters and stayed fairly strong for some time, after the 1920s most of the teachings and those soaking it in began to dwindle. Strangely though, there seems to be a kind of resurging interest in one particular man's writings here in the 21st century. Many are intrigued by the “secret teachings” of Manly P. Hall. (The Secret Teachings of Manly P. Hall) *** In May, 1987, Kenneth Parks walked into a police station and confessed, “I just killed two people; I've just killed my mother‑ and father‑in‑law. I stabbed and beat them to death. It's all my fault." Case closed, right? Well no… because it appears he might've been sleepwalking when he committed the murders. (The Sleepwalker Defense) *** When the body of Elva Shue was found next to her bed, it was assumed to be an accident. But her spirit refused to rest until someone investigated further. Her ghost was crying murder. (The Ghost That Solved a Murder) *** Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates.

Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1915 MANILA
“Boy wonder by day. Boy toy by night.” In this candid conversation, host Ian Henzel talks with Jobert Abueva Reed about Boy Wander—a memoir that moves from Manila to Kathmandu, Bangkok, and Tokyo, then across the U.S., tracing a brilliant student leader's secret life in 1970s Japan. As a child TV personality and top performer at an all-boys Catholic international school, Jobert seemed destined for greatness. After class, he lived another reality—turning tricks with foreign guests at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel—while trying to reconcile family expectations, faith, and the truth of who he was. They discuss how a pre-AIDS coming-of-age shaped the book's urgent honesty, why Tokyo felt uniquely safe, and how an episodic writing process became a propulsive narrative. The episode is equal parts craft talk and cultural history—about surviving, remembering, and finally being seen.

How can you reclaim your truth and your power?We're diving into Horse Barbie, Geena Rocero's radiant and illuminating memoir that shows her journey from a one-room home in Manila, Philippians, to trans pageants, from the perfume counter at Macy's to New York fashion sets, and from private, suffocating, fear to a TED Talk that reframed transness as power. Along the way, we discuss her father's complicated love, her mother's unwavering belief and reflect on what can spark when the people who matter most tell you there's nothing wrong with you. Geena's story and memoir widens from personal to political: pre-colonial history without gendered pronouns, the costs of documentation that doesn't match your face, and the power of her viral TED Talk to turn shame into strength. We sit with the big questions: Why is femininity seen as a threat? How do entertainment and policy diverge? What changes when a community moves from visibility to rights? By the end, Horse Barbie reads like a manual for courage. It shows how story becomes strategy and how one woman's voice can help many step out of the shadows.If you care about trans rights, immigration, pageant culture, modeling, or the way love can change a life, this conversation brings nuance, warmth, and a clear takeaway: policy matters, family matters, and stories move hearts faster than arguments ever will.

In 1826, fellow priests caring for an ailing Father Juan Severino Mallari made a horrifying discovery in his residence: bloodstained clothing belonging to dozens of missing parishioners. Over the next ten years, investigators would uncover fifty-seven murders committed by the parish priest of Magalang, Pampanga—a man who believed killing his congregants would break a curse afflicting his mother. Father Mallari's victims trusted him completely. They came to him for confession, for blessings, for spiritual guidance. And then they disappeared. What makes this case even more tragic is that Spanish colonial authorities meticulously documented Mallari's education and artwork, but never bothered to record a single name of the fifty-seven Filipinos he murdered. This is the story of colonial erasure, untreated mental illness, and a murderous priest.This is Episode 7 of Season 36: Serial Killers in History, our ambitious exploration of forgotten murderers from ancient Rome through the early 20th century. This season examines how social inequality, colonial systems, and institutional failures enabled killers across continents and centuries. Juan Severino Mallari's case reveals the devastating intersection of Spanish colonial racism, primitive mental healthcare, and religious authority in early 19th-century Philippines. The next episode continues our journey through history's darkest moments with another case of power, isolation, and the victims erased from official records.Historical Context & BackgroundJuan Severino Mallari was born in 1785 in San Nicolas, Pampanga, into a respected Kapampangan family with church benefactor status. He earned his philosophy degree around 1800, his theology degree in 1805 at San Carlos Seminary, and was ordained at the University of Santo Tomas in 1809 by Archbishop Juan Antonio Zulaybar. But being a Filipino priest in Spanish colonial Philippines meant systemic discrimination. From 1809 to 1812, Mallari served as coadjutor in multiple parishes, applying repeatedly for parish priest positions in Orani, Mariveles, Lubao, and as chaplain at the Port of Cavite. Spanish authorities rejected him every time—not for lack of qualifications, but due to colonial racism that viewed Filipino secular priests as inferior to Spanish friars. Finally, in 1812, he became parish priest of San Bartolome Parish in Magalang, the first Filipino to hold that position in all of Pampanga. In that isolated agricultural community, trusted completely by his parishioners, Father Mallari would commit fifty-seven murders over the next decade.The Descent into MadnessAround 1816, four years after becoming parish priest, Mallari's mother fell gravely ill. He became convinced she was cursed—a belief that merged Catholic faith with pre-colonial Filipino traditions about mangkukulam (witches) who could cast deadly kulam (curses). Historical accounts describe Mallari experiencing severe hallucinations during Mass, stopping mid-sermon to converse with invisible figures. Spain had pioneered psychiatric treatment in Europe, and the Hospicio de San Jose psychiatric facility in Manila had been operational since 1811. But Mallari was in rural Pampanga, miles from Manila, and he was the parish priest—the highest religious authority in Magalang. No one recognized his psychotic delusions as treatable illness requiring intervention. When Mallari decided that killing the people he believed were witches would cure his mother, no one stopped him. His first victim likely came to confession in 1816. We don't know this person's name, age, or family situation—Spanish colonial records didn't consider such details worth documenting.The Ten-Year Killing SpreeOver the next decade, Father Mallari murdered fifty-seven of his parishioners. He killed in the privacy of the parish house—people who came for spiritual guidance, to arrange marriages, to request baptisms. After each murder, he carefully folded the victim's bloodstained clothing and preserved it in his residence. This level of organization existing alongside complete psychotic delusion reveals the terrifying complexity of his mental state. His mother died December 4, 1825. The killings hadn't saved her. Everything had been for nothing. But Mallari didn't stop because of his mother's death—he stopped because sixteen days later, several families finally gathered courage to file a formal complaint with the gobernadorcillo (town mayor). Imagine the bravery required: Filipino families in 1825 Spanish colonial Philippines accusing the parish priest—the most powerful religious figure in their town. In February 1826, when Mallari fell ill and fellow priests came to care for him, they discovered the horrifying evidence: bloodstained belongings of dozens of missing parishioners, folded and stored in his residence. Word reached the constabulary. Townspeople gathered with torches. Ten years of disappearances converged on that moment.Investigation, Trial & ExecutionWhen Spanish authorities arrested Mallari in 1826, he confessed immediately—not with remorse, but with explanation. He detailed his mother's curse, identifying fifty-seven witches, explaining why their deaths would break the curse. The trial began later that year, drawing unprecedented attention across Spanish colonial territory. Prosecutors methodically presented bloodstained clothing, stolen items from victims' families, witness testimony about Mallari's erratic behavior during Mass. The defense attempted to portray him as a respected leader framed by jealous rivals, but couldn't explain the overwhelming physical evidence or Mallari's own detailed confession. He was convicted, but not executed immediately. Mallari spent fourteen years imprisoned—fourteen years between his 1826 arrest and his 1840 execution. The colonial legal system required multiple levels of review for an unprecedented case: a Filipino priest convicted of fifty-seven murders. Those victim families waited fourteen years for justice. Finally, in 1840, Juan Severino Mallari was hanged at Bagumbayan field (today Luneta Park in Manila). He was fifty-five years old, the first Filipino priest ever executed by Spanish colonial authorities. Thirty-two years later, three more Filipino priests—the GOMBURZA martyrs—would be executed for allegedly inspiring revolt, helping spark the Philippine Revolution.The Unnamed Fifty-SevenFather Juan Severino Mallari's life is extensively recorded. Spanish colonial documents detail his birth in San Nicolas, his family's church benefactor status, his philosophy degree (circa 1800), theology degree (1805), ordination (1809), every parish appointment, every rejected job application. Examples of his calligraphy—ornate ecclesiastical documents—survive in historical archives. The Spanish system found Mallari worth documenting in extraordinary detail. The fifty-seven Filipinos he murdered? Not one name recorded. Not one age. Not one occupation. Not one family detail. Were they farmers? Merchants? Young? Old? Parents leaving behind children? We don't know. Spanish authorities didn't care. This isn't accident—it's colonial violence manifesting as bureaucratic erasure. The Spanish system existed to extract wealth and maintain control. Individual Filipino lives didn't serve Spanish interests, so they weren't recorded. Somewhere in Pampanga, descendants of those fifty-seven victims exist. People who grew up hearing family stories about a great-great-grandparent who vanished mysteriously in the 1820s, inheriting trauma without closure. Those descendants deserve to know their family member's death mattered, that their ancestor's life had value, that we haven't forgotten them even if we can't name them.Resources & Further ReadingThe National Archives of the Philippines in Manila maintain limited records from Spanish colonial Pampanga, though documentation of crimes against Filipino civilians remains incomplete. The University of Santo Tomas archives preserve ecclesiastical records from the period, including ordination documentation for Filipino priests like Mallari. Historical studies of Spanish colonial mental healthcare reveal the stark disparity between psychiatric facilities available in Manila (like the Hospicio de San Jose, operational from 1811) and the complete absence of mental health resources in rural provinces. Research into the principalía class structure and Spanish colonial racism illuminates how systemic discrimination created the conditions for Mallari's prolonged killing spree. Philippine Revolution history provides context for understanding how cases like Mallari's—and the later GOMBURZA executions—contributed to growing Filipino resistance against colonial rule.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:10 — Night Prayer for Praise, Worship, and Restoration in God's Presence10 P.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Vancouver, from Vancouver to Nairobi, from Nairobi to Manila — as night falls across nations, the world grows still, and the voice of God whispers, “Be still, and know that I am God.”Scripture (NIV)“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'” — Psalm 46:10 (NIV)Show NotesThe end of the day invites reflection — and often, restlessness. The global search for “prayer for peace and stillness” proves the world is weary, hungry for quiet and divine reassurance. Psalm 46:10 cuts through the noise with holy simplicity: stop striving, start trusting.From London to Vancouver, Nairobi to Manila, believers are rediscovering worship in stillness — where praise is not performance but presence. When we are silent, God speaks. When we stop holding everything together, we discover He already is. True restoration begins not in motion, but in surrender.Tonight we pray for peace to return, for the mind to rest, and for weary souls to find renewal in worship. The Lord is exalted among the nations, and He reigns over every heart that pauses to know Him.10 Global Prayer Points Prayer for peace and stillness before God Prayer for worship and restoration at night Prayer for surrender and letting go Prayer for God's presence in the quiet moments Prayer for healing of the mind and soul Prayer for rest after a long day Prayer for strength through worship Prayer for divine peace to fill the home Prayer for trust and faith in God's timing Prayer for calm in stressful seasonsLife ApplicationStillness is not weakness — it's the strength of trust that knows God is working even when you are resting.DeclarationI will be still and know that He is God.

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”A beat can cross oceans faster than any plane ticket—this showcase proves it. We're celebrating Filipino producers from Manila to Sacramento with a curated trip through sample alchemy, razor-sharp cuts, and pulse-raising drum and bass. The goal is simple: connect you with artists worth following and give you a map to explore their catalogs, crews, and scenes.We open with a Filipino alchemist from Florida named Soy or Soyisreal then we feature a track with atmosphere and intent—Free The Robots sets a cinematic frame before HeruHeruHeru reminds us not to overthink a great loop. Elijah B raises the stakes with head-twisting arrangements, then Roboplex teams with Hendrik to merge live visuals culture with studio craft. KiNG HYSTERiA, Imaginary Other, Chewy, and IF1 light up the cipher, while D-Styles demonstrates why scratching remains composition, percussion, and storytelling all at once. The energy pivots into TKDPLL's drum and bass, a lane resonating deeply across Filipino circles, and lands on LUSTBASS and Filipino 1990 where feel meets message.From there, Six The NorthStar tightens the groove, Skeematic explores meditative texture, and 4B5ynth out of Marikina turns off-kilter rhythm into a hypnotic flip. Higher Ground's The PHARM brings collective firepower, Dpsht and Tenkousei.'s cool the room with downtempo warmth, and Skeptics and Ize pull dancers to the front with summer color and clever edits. We close with Loopin_iii's high-velocity DnB, then shout Wave Groove and tease that this is only part one of the all-Filipino spotlight.If something moves you, follow the links, grab a tee, buy a coffee, or send us a text directly from the description—we read every messag Support the showEdited, Mixed and Mastered by GldnmndPodcast Website Link: The Rec Show PodcastSubscribe to Our YouTube Channel: Press Here

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Episode 692 Release Date: October 17, 2025 Host: Piko Title: Whale Hoohoo Episode Summary In this episode of the Hawaiian Concert Guide, Piko takes listeners on a musical journey through contemporary Hawaiian mele, slack-key gems, and lush Exotica instrumentals. From heartfelt vocal collaborations to instrumental storytelling and a powerful closing chorus of “Hawaiʻi Aloha,” Episode 692 celebrates how music keeps the spirit of the islands alive across oceans. Track List & Song Notes “Hoʻomālamalama” (feat. Stephen Inglis) – Kahiau Lam Ho – 4:10 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian The title Hoʻomālamalama can be translated as “to enlighten” or “to bring light.” In this track, Kahiau Lam Ho teams up with acclaimed musician Stephen Inglis to offer a song about healing, clarity, and renewal. Gentle, thoughtful vocals and a reflective arrangement give the piece a meditative quality, as if lifting the listener out of darkness and into understanding. “The One They Call Hawaiʻi” – Kahiau Lam Ho – 5:40 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian This song personifies Hawaiʻi as a beloved figure—someone the singer speaks of with reverence and affection. The lyrics and feel of the track evoke pride in the land and its people, touching on themes of identity, stewardship, and belonging. It plays like a love song to the islands themselves, inviting listeners to reflect on what “Hawaiʻi” means to them personally. “Kuʻu Pili Oha” – Kawika Kahiapo – 3:44 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian The phrase Kuʻu Pili Oha can be understood as “my cherished closeness” or “beloved companion.” Kawika Kahiapo, known for his soulful slack-key guitar and warm vocals, offers a gentle, intimate mele that feels like a conversation between close hearts. It's the kind of song that could be sung quietly on a porch at sunset, filled with gratitude for the relationships that sustain us. “One Heart One Voice” – Kawika Kahiapo – 4:13 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian “One Heart One Voice” leans into themes of unity and shared purpose. Kahiapo's songwriting often carries messages of peace and responsibility, and this track is a call for people to stand together with aloha. It's an uplifting reminder that when we speak and act as one, even big challenges feel more manageable. “ʻAnapau” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 2:39 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian From a project reflecting on the legacy of the Makaha Sons, “ʻAnapau” is a lively, joyful piece that carries the spirit of classic Hawaiian group vocals into a new setting. Jerome Koko's connection to the original Makaha Sons material, paired with Daniel Ho's arranging and production touch, makes this track feel both nostalgic and freshly polished. It's easy to picture friends singing along at a backyard gathering. “Poliahu” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 5:10 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian “Poliahu” is a tribute to the snow goddess of Mauna Kea. The song's mood leans more contemplative and reverent, fitting for a mele about a powerful and enigmatic figure in Hawaiian tradition. Listeners can feel the chill and majesty of the mountain in the way the melody unfolds—calm, spacious, and full of respect. “Manila” – The Waitiki 7 – 7:05 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica The Waitiki 7 are known for reviving and expanding the classic Exotica sound, and “Manila” is a great example of their globe-trotting imagination. This instrumental piece conjures images of harbors, markets, and far-away ports of call. Rich textures and layered rhythms give it a cinematic feel that pairs perfectly with daydreams of travel. “Craving” – The Waitiki 7 – 5:07 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica “Craving” leans into mood and atmosphere: it feels like a soundtrack for late-night conversations under tiki lights. The tune balances playful melodic lines with a slightly mysterious undercurrent, capturing that feeling of restless longing the title suggests. It's a reminder that Exotica can be both fun and emotionally evocative. “I Can See Arkansas” – Waipuna – 4:52 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian Waipuna blend Hawaiian roots with storytelling influences that reach beyond the islands. “I Can See Arkansas” plays with the idea of geographical distance and emotional closeness—how memories and imagination can make a faraway place feel just within sight. It's a beautiful example of how Hawaiian artists connect local sensibilities with wider world experiences. “Owl's Lullaby” – Waipuna – 3:15 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian As the title suggests, “Owl's Lullaby” has a gentle, comforting quality. In Hawaiian culture, the pueo (owl) can be a protector and guardian, and this song carries that sense of watchful care. It's the kind of mele you could easily imagine as a bedtime favorite, soothing the end of the day with calm and grace. Mahalo for Listening Mahalo nui for joining Piko on this musical journey!

En 1953, en la ciudad de Manila, una joven llamada Clarita Villanueva fue arrestada por alterar el orden público. Lo que comenzó como un incidente menor terminó convirtiéndose en uno de los casos de posesión más documentados del siglo XX.Testigos, médicos y policías aseguraron haber visto lo imposible: marcas de mordidas que aparecían frente a ellos, voces sin origen y un miedo que ningún exorcismo parecía detener.Esta es la reconstrucción de aquel suceso, contada desde la mirada de quienes lo presenciaron… y de quienes nunca volvieron a ser los mismos después.Porque a veces, lo que creemos castigo divino no es más que el eco de algo que busca ser escuchado.
