Elena Segura ABOUT THE GUEST Elena Segura leads a national initiative of the Archdiocese of Chicago to develop and implement Pastoral Migratoria, which she founded in 2008 as an immigrant-led ministry for service, justice, and accompaniment in parish communities. Pastoral Migratoria is based in the methodology of Aparecida, whose main architect was (now) Pope Francis. Chicago area participants include 200 Hispanic lay leaders across 40 Hispanic parishes. The Dioceses of Stockton (CA) and Kansas City–Saint Joseph (MO) launched their pilot programs last year. Ten dioceses interested in starting this ministry took part in the inaugural Instituto Pastoral Migratoria in Chicago in July 2018. The goal is to create a national network. Since the 2005 inception of the Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform, Elena directed the archdiocese's local Immigration Ministry, facilitating formation of pioneering networks of 200 priests, 54 religious orders, and immigration liaisons in 124 native-born congregations. Elena began her career organizing grassroots responses to problems facing her community in rural Peru. MESSY JESUS BUSINESS is hosted by Sister Julia Walsh.  Produced and edited by Colin Wambsgans.

As soon as the last ice age glaciers melted, Indigenous people occupied this siteA recently discovered archaeological site in Saskatchewan, dated to just less than 11,000 years ago is the oldest settlement in the region by about 1,500 years. It also is evidence that Indigenous people settled there as soon as the environment could support them after the glaciers disappeared. Glenn Stuart, from the University of Saskatchewan, is one of the archaeologists working along with local Indigenous community members to preserve and study the site.Just the right magnetic field will make sea turtles do a ‘happy dance'Researchers investigating how sea turtles navigate the vast and trackless ocean have discovered just how sensitive the reptiles' magnetic sense is, as they can even use it to identify the location of food resources. While feeding the loggerhead turtles in the lab, Kayla Goforth, a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University noticed that the turtles would perform a ‘happy dance' when they recognized the right magnetic signature. She led this research that was published in the journal Nature.Intense exercise causes our bodies to belch out DNA that may reduce inflammationScientists were surprised to discover that the more intensely you exercise, the more certain immune cells belch out fragments of DNA that can form webs to trap pathogens, and lead to fewer pro-inflammatory immune cells circulating in our blood. Canadian researcher Stephen Montgomery, a professor of pathology at Stanford University, said their findings suggest that circulating cell-free DNA may play a role in how exercise lowers inflammation in the body. The study was published in the journal PNAS. An ancient Antarctic duck lived at the time of T-RexBirds are the last surviving lineage of dinosaurs, but modern birds are surprisingly ancient – dating to before the extinction of the rest of their family. An extremely rare, nearly intact bird skull found in Antarctica and dated to about 69 million years ago confirms this. This waterfowl had similarities to ducks and loons. Chris Torres is an assistant professor at the University of the Pacific in Stockton California and was part of the team that analyzed this fossil. Their research was published in the journal Nature.Science is being transformed by the AI revolutionThe stunning advances in artificial intelligence that we see with internet AI apps are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to science.

(TW:Talk about substances + suicide) In episode fifty-nine, Alex and Karly introduce the pod to Vas. From Vas: I am from Stockton CA. I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2020. I had a couple-year long career in case management, harm reduction, therapy, and social work, which was rewarding but drove me into the ground and didn't give me the time to properly care for myself. I was suffering from autistic burnout (pre-diagnosis) and the problem was worsened by my frustration with my burnout symptoms impacting my ability to “function like normal”. After taking a few months off to move back home and focus on my health, I was diagnosed (at 25 years old) with Autism. My diagnosis made me kinder on myself and more understanding of my challenges in light of the new diagnosis, and after learning to work with (as opposed to against) my brain I am now looking into doing Harm Reduction work (in direct service and policy) and potentially pursuing a PhD in Public Policy. I still don't “function like normal”, but who the hell wants ‘normal' anyway ! In this episode, Vas shares about their experiences with substance use, ways society can provide support and direction in harm reduction. This episode may be triggering to some, but is an important topic to learn about. Thank you for listening!

Finally, the artist Power Struggle will help me wrap up this episode by honoring an anchor and leader of the Bay Area Filipinx and civil rights community and our friend, Mister REY. Rest in power. All right, that's the show. Let's dig in. I'm here with Dr. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, one of the country's leading Ethnic Studies and Filipinx studies scholars and professors, co-founder and director of Community Responsive Education, and the educational consultant for Larry The Musical. Allyson, it's so wonderful to have you here. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:02:34] My gosh, thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate this show and all the work that you've been doing for many years. Thank you so much. Aisa Villarosa: [00:02:41] For our dedicated Apex Express listeners who may not be familiar with the wonderful Larry Itliong. Can you talk a little bit about who he is and who he is to this particular Civil Rights Movement? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:02:57] Larry Itliong. He was born in the Philippines, in San Nicolas Pangasinan. He came here at 15 years old. Imagine coming here at 15 years old. He only had a sixth grade education. And he came here, actually in order to pursue his studies and he moved to the United States in 1929. As you probably know, because of the Great Depression, it was difficult to find jobs. He was forced to work in the railroads and then eventually became a migrant farm worker. And he traveled all the way from like Montana, South Dakota, Washington, and finally landed here in California. So during that time, Larry Itliong learned of the plight suffered by Filipinos and other immigrants working in the fields. Larry Itliong was a prominent leader in one of the most important social justice movements in the US, and we call that the Farm Worker Movement. A lot of Filipinos involved along with Mexicanos. He organized a group of 1500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers in Delano, California. Some people call that the great Delano Grape strike of 1965. Basically they were trying to fight for workers' rights. They had this strike for eight days. And there was tons of violence by the growers, hired hands, and even the sheriff department, and they were thrown out of the labor camp. Larry Itliong. He was strong and he remained tenacious and resilient. And he called upon someone very famous that many of us know Cesar Chavez, and Cesar Chavez' community, to join forces with the Filipinos and they striked again. Because of Larry Itliong, the two groups combined and they ended up becoming the United Farm Workers. And a lot of us know the United Farm Workers and a lot of it is attributed to Cesar Chavez, but really Larry Itliong really pushed that ability to create a coalition. To create a connection to really fight for collective liberation. So this unification between the farmworkers of all different ethnicities, not just Filipino and Mexicano was really unprecedented. And really set an example for many of us—many of us meaning workers and organizers—many of us learned from that movement, how to really create alignment, how to really create a coalition, how to really fight alongside each other. And that movement was very successful. You may or may not know this, but Larry Itliong also was the president of the Filipino American Political Association, the first national political Filipino American organization. And it was very crucial, between Filipino professionals and laborers, that grew out of the Delano Grape strike. Larry Itliong was instrumental in founding lots of things including the Pablo Agbayani Village, a Retirement Home built by volunteers for retired Filipino Manos, who no longer had families and needed a place to call home. I recently visited Agbayani Village with my family. Even in my own family, my husband, his father was one of the farm workers, and it means a great deal to actually be there at Agbayani Village, quite literally, you feel the spirits. And having, having brought my daughter there and she got to, you know, see, where our ancestors lived. Larry Itliong, he passed away in 1977 at the age of sixty-three, very young. He left behind his wife and seven children. But his accomplishments and his legacy, continues to live and we really reap the benefits from all the work that he did. Aisa Villarosa: [00:06:41] I got shivers at several points when you shared Allyson. Thank you. And I am told that as part of your work as educational consultant for Larry The Musical, that one of your unique roles is helping the cast see history in this moment and see what Larry's struggle and Larry's story is to them and their families. So I love that sort of full circle practice. It also means that for a musical to take on you know you've named some, some pretty heavy things, right? You're naming organizing struggle, you're naming the struggle against white supremacy. Can you talk a little bit about what makes this musical special and, and even to be able to do right by Larry and his story, how did you all bring this to life? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:07:33] Whoa. That's a really important set of questions and I really appreciate the connections between what's happening on the stage and what's happening in our classrooms and, you know, what's really happening in our communities. It is a really important show. I think a lot of shows have said, “Oh, we're a hundred percent this, we're a hundred percent that.” But when I go into working with the cast, I really see a hundred percent Filipino, Filipina, Filipinx Americans who are really telling a story that is important. Larry's story is not glamorous, [laughs] you know, and I say that because I've seen a lot of Broadway shows. You know, I have a child who's a performer and I spend a lot of time in New York, and I really do love watching musicals. And so this genre is like happy times for me, right? I go in and I get, I mean, they start singing and I, I just want to cry right away [laughs]. But there's something so powerful, yes, about a hundred percent Filipino cast, but also telling a story about struggle, and about labor, about someone who's working class, who really has changed our lives. I think sometimes when I go to musicals, I try to find myself, you know, like on stage I'm like, which character am I? You know? And in this musical I really feel like I'm all the characters. And you will see this, you know, because there's Larry, of course, this, it's a story about Larry Itliong, but you will see characters, and the creative team has wonderfully weaved characters from different parts of that era, and then also maybe even parts of their own lives and their own families, and they land on stage. They are telling this story alongside Larry, and it's beautiful and I'm really, really excited for people to see it. I'm not going to, I'm not gonna give too much away. Aisa Villarosa: [00:09:39] [Laughs] People gotta buy tickets. Yes. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:09:41] Buy your tickets and bring your tissue [laughs]. Because I really feel like people are going to not only see Larry on stage, but they're gonna see themselves, their families, their parents, their community, their ancestors, all of them there. I will say that, I had the fortune of working with the cast, specifically on a project called Tatlong Bagsak Talambuhay and what I said to the cast was, this work has to be different. This work cannot just be about telling one man's story. And so it's really important for them to understand their own story, their own family's legacy, and why they're doing this work. And so at the beginning of each of the rehearsals, there's one cast member who tells their story. Talambuhay, you know, telling their life story. So that every person is allowed to share their story on the stage, quite literally. And also to be able to make the connections to why they're there on that stage. I had one cast member come up to me last week and say, “I've never been part of a [laughs] a show like this. You know, like where I was seen.” And that's the power of Larry The Musical. It, it's definitely about Larry and how he has inspired us, but it is so much more. And so I'm really excited for people to be able to experience that. Aisa Villarosa: [00:11:18] I was lucky enough to attend the community preview y'all had put on in the fall. It was smashing and I could feel Dawn Mabalon's love and spirit in the room because so much of what you're saying is how are we creating a living archive, right? And there's so many stories that make up history that ultimately is intentionally not told or kept away from people. So it sounds like this is hopefully one of many opportunities for folks to either learn that history for the first time, or to learn it in a really freeing way. I want to talk a little bit about women. If we look at various movements across labor, thinking about the figures of labor, you know, you have Larry, you have Philip Vera Cruz. I am sure there are some strong, strong women in Larry. And as a Filipina we also see that the value of care work, of women really it's often invisibilized by history. Talk to us a little bit about, you know, what can we expect to see from the women in Larry? Are there any toxic narratives that are reversed or addressed by the musical? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:12:32] I feel like you saw the script. [Laughs]. Aisa Villarosa: [00:12:34] I didn't. I did not. [Laughs]. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:12:36] Oh, okay. Okay. I can't give up too much. It'd be really unfair, but I'll say that this begins with the strong women who did the research and who wrote the play, the musical, the book, the script. And I'll start with, a lot of the work is rooted in Dr. Dawn Bohulano's research. I mean, she really was going to tell Larry Itliong's story in an academic book. And before she passed, she was able to write Journey for Justice with Gayle Romasanta. It was, it quite literally went to press the day that she passed. Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon had a dream to really tell Larry's story, but I know deep inside it wasn't just about Larry's story, it was a story about her family. It was a story about her ancestors, including the women. And so I think how beautiful it is to have quite literally the voice and research of Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon in the script that Gayle Romasanta really was able to bring forth. So we have writers like Gayle Romasanta, Kevin Camia, and then writing the music we have Brian Pangilinan, and then you'll hear the sounds of course of Sean Kana. But when we talk and think about the women, the voices quite literally, the singing voices of the women are so powerful. I think sometimes people imagine women during that movement as being behind the men. In this show, that's not the case. I think of the work of Stacey Salinas, Dr. Stacey Salinas, who writes about Filipina farmworkers in the movement. She has some beautiful archives of Filipina women during that time. And you literally see them on the stage and you see them challenging men and you see them saying yes, we are part of this struggle. And so, although it's called Larry The Musical, Larry definitely isn't the main character by himself. Aisa Villarosa: [00:14:40] I love that. And what you shared also reminds me of thinking about the people power movement and the phrase makibaka huwag matakot, where there is power in struggle, right? If, if we can come together collectively. Turning to the musical, it's going to premiere soon. We hope that folks visit the Apex Express website [kpfa.org] where y'all can buy tickets. Please support this incredible work. What is your greatest hope for this musical? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:15:11] Ooh, that's a good question. It caught me off guard. I secretly hope that this musical goes beyond the Bay Area, potentially travels, potentially goes to Broadway, maybe the Philippines. You know, I want people to know how wonderful our story is, our story. And you will really see our story in this. So yeah, I hope it makes it big. [Laughs] I, I really do. We deserve it. Aisa Villarosa: [00:15:41] Well, it's not a secret anymore. You, you manifested it, so now it's gotta happen, right? [Laughs]. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:15:47] Yeah, I really do. I mean, I hope, I hope for all of that. And to be honest, I don't think the Pinnacle is Broadway in my mind. It might've been when we first started the project, but really, I, I feel like most importantly is for people to know the stories of our people. And Larry The Musical can really bring that out. And I hope people can see themselves on stage. I mean, that is a big goal for them to be able to see themselves on stage. Aisa Villarosa: [00:16:13] Allyson, it's been so wonderful talking with you. Before we head out, is there anything else you'd like to share with the listeners? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:16:21] There's so many struggles going on right now in the world, whether that be, like the manifestation of colonialism and imperialism everywhere, to what's happening in our classrooms. I feel like really key that Larry The Musical is ethnic studies. I think [it's] important that people know that the goal of ethnic studies is collective liberation and we do that by centering the voices of people of color in the first person, ultimately to eliminate and eradicate racism and white supremacy. I mean, like it's all of that. Aisa Villarosa: [00:16:50] Yeah. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:16:51] But I want people to know that Larry is that, and I think sometimes we get stuck on wanting representation, like, oh, I wanna see a Filipino on stage. And so we vote for people on those shows and we get so excited. Aisa Villarosa: [00:17:05] Or that becomes the ceiling, right? Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:17:08] Exactly. It becomes the ceiling. We have made it because we've seen ourselves on TV or we've seen ourselves on a stage on Broadway, but I think it's not enough. Because those stories oftentimes are not the stories of our own people. We often play characters who are not ourselves, and we oftentimes have to compromise our integrity to actually become famous. And so for me, when I think about Larry The Musical, it does not compromise. It does not compromise. And it really is about our stories and us telling our stories in the first person. I'll leave it at that. Aisa Villarosa: [00:17:44] I love that. It's such a great way to send us off. And as someone who used to work in the arts and has been shushed at primarily white events, I love the decolonization of the arts as well. It's arts and ethnic studies. So many folks in our work do this work because of a really important moment in ethnic studies that came to them. Unfortunately, because of the forces that are out there trying to stop ethnic studies, for many that revelation comes kind of late in life or sometimes doesn't come at all. So, please let us have more Larry, more stories like Larry and more ways for folks to access this sort of awakening. Thank you so much, Allyson. It has been a pleasure. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales: [00:18:31] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all the work that you do. Aisa Villarosa: [00:18:34] As Allyson shared, Larry The Musical is a lesson in living civil rights history, a chronicle of the racial violence faced by Filipinx organizers and how they mobilize to overcome it. This plays out in the musical's track, “Watsonville,” which we're about to preview. In the 1930s, violence against Filipinos was a daily occurrence. It was not out of the ordinary for Filipinos to get shot at, be beaten, or have their campos bombed. Two major events happened in January 1930, the Watsonville Riots and the bombing of the Filipino Federation of American Building in Stockton California. The Watsonville riots saw hundreds of Filipinos beaten and Fermin Tobera killed over four days of mob violence. White mobs beat and shot Filipinos, and in the end, no one was arrested. “Watsonville” follows our characters as these historic events unfold. It was written by Gayle Romasanta and Kevin Camia, music composed by Bryan Pangilinan and Sean Kana. Let's take a listen. SONG Aisa Villarosa: [00:19:39] You're listening to Apex Express on KPFA Radio with me, Aisa Villarosa. That was a special preview of “Watsonville” from Larry The Musical. I'm here with acclaimed New York City-based theater artist, director, performer teacher, and community-driven artivist Billy Bustamante, director of Larry The Musical. We are so honored to have you join us, Billy. Billy Bustamante: [00:21:02] Hi there. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so thrilled to be here. Aisa Villarosa: [00:21:06] Awesome. Well, we are going to dive into Larry The Musical. And a few months ago I had the honor of catching the community preview at the Brava Theater in San Francisco and it blew my socks off as a mentee of the great ate Dawn Mabalon, a hero and mentor gone too soon, it was beautiful to see her archiving come alive in song. For those who are new to Larry The Musical, can you tell us a little bit about what audiences can expect? Billy Bustamante: [00:21:38] Sure. When you come to the Brava Theater this spring, you will see a story about our shared Filipino American history, but even greater our shared American history brought to life on stage. You will see a story that centers Filipino Americans in the telling of that history. It is a musical that will make you laugh, will make you cry, will make you dance in your seat, and will hopefully make you step back out into the world as you leave the theater with a little more power in your hands. Aisa Villarosa: [00:22:06] Those all sound so incredible. Billy, can you share more, as someone who has been in the arts world for so long, why is this project near and dear to your heart? Billy Bustamante: [00:22:18] Larry means so much to me for so many reasons. I've been making theater now for a little over 20 years professionally. And throughout that time I have kind of had to hold two sides of myself in various capacities, right? I have my American-ness, and I have my Filipino-ness. As a born and raised Filipino American here in the States, I have always had to examine unconsciously how much of myself I can bring into an artistic space just because those spaces have predominantly been white led. Now that we are in a space that is created for by and about Filipino people telling a story that is for by and about Filipino people that really centers not just Filipino story, but the Filipino identity, not just in the product but in the process, that is a feeling I have literally never had before in my 42 years on this planet. And every time I step into this space, I am amazed at how much more myself I feel, and I can see that sensation flashing in every single person in the room. And it's on one side beautiful. It's like a beautiful thing to witness us all kind of come alive a bit more, expand into the space, be more of ourselves. And it's also a bit infuriating to know that it's taken me 42 years to get to this moment. This feeling of true belonging is something that I have grown more and more addicted to and that I continue to chase in any other experience that I have. Aisa Villarosa: [00:23:46] Wow. I'm getting a little goosebumps over here. I am hearing that it's, it's almost like coming home to yourself, that often, and I too have a Filipino family, grew up here I'm second generation, and often the dominant culture's understanding of Filipinos is limited to very simplistic notions, whether that's our food, even if food is very political. Billy Bustamante: [00:24:11] Yes. Aisa Villarosa: [00:24:11] There's often sort of a niceness, and the arts and culture world is no exception. So thank you for sharing. And in thinking about the cast of the musical, can you share what makes this cast special and unique? Billy Bustamante: [00:24:29] I am a firm believer that theater artists of any background are some of the most exhilarating people in the world [laughs]. As a theater artist, specifically as a musical theater artist, there is so much skill you must be able to access in order to do your job. It's not just one thing at a time, it is all things at a time. So we are making a show that sings, acts and dances all the time [laughs], and within that there's that triple threat of skill while also incorporating this fourth ingredient of identity and shared history. So each of the actors that we have brought into this cast has really shown up with not just those first three skills in brilliant capacity, but also a hunger and an enthusiasm to be generous about how they bring this fourth ingredient into the process. Again, another thing none of us have been able to do in an artistic space before. For so many of us, it's our first time bringing ourselves to the work in this way. Because none of us have had a chance to do it. So many of us have never played Filipino on stage before, let alone Filipino Americans specifically. I know I've been lucky to have played Filipinos on stage and have been telling Filipino stories, but none of those have been led by Filipinos or written by Filipinos. So there's a level of not just authenticity, but integrity to the work and the story we're telling that allows each of these cast members to be greater like artistic citizens and contributors to the work. Aisa Villarosa: [00:25:58] I love that. There's in Filipino culture, the word kapwa, right? Which is collective identity. And I was reading a quote from you and you said, “My favorite thing about Filipinx culture is creating community. If you've shared a meal with a Filipinx family, you're family.” And it sounds like here you're talking about a meal but this theater experience and all the prep that y'all did, there's a family feeling to that, and can you share some of the behind the scenes love and care and intentionality that went into creating Larry? Billy Bustamante: [00:26:33] Yes. Yes. I, I love that you found that quote. I can't remember when I said it, but I know I say it a lot. [Laughs]. Aisa Villarosa: [00:26:39] I was creeping on the internet. [Laughs]. Billy Bustamante: [00:26:40] I love it. I, and I do firmly believe, like that's one of my favorite things about Filipino culture. Yeah. If you sit at my table, you leave as a family member, right? And I do think that's the environment we wanna create for the audience as well. This piece of art that we are creating is what I hope will be a fully nourishing seven course meal of artistry that again, audience members come into the theater as guests and they leave as family. That is my hope. How we get there is, has been a thrilling experiment, again, as a theater maker for like 20 plus years, the pandemic, this pandemic pause that was forced upon us as artists, really forced me to examine, but I think forced the greater industry to examine the dysfunction in how we do what we do. And now that we have started creating theater again, I've personally been on this, you know, mission to honor the science experiment that we're all on in terms of a, how to be in a room together and then how to create art together and hopefully a healthier more empowering way across the board. So knowing that's been a mission I've been on with any theater project I take on, for this one specifically there is so much more importance laid onto that particular ingredient, right? How do we make a healthier room? How do we make a more restorative healing process for everyone? Recognizing that the story we are telling impacts the actors and their bodies in a way that no other story does, right? There is an additional toll and cost to reckoning with your own history on stage. And it's, it's a privilege to get to do that, but that does mean we need to reexamine what supportive systems and structures we are creating in the room. Again, this is all an experiment [laughs] and it's going well so far, but some steps we have taken or to gather our company. Our company, on the first full day of rehearsal when we got all the actors together. One thing I was excited about our first day of rehearsal was that we took a good amount of time to sit in a circle and create what we called community commitments. Like a set of shared agreements that we all were participatory in creating that gave us all a guideline of how we treat each other in this space. So now it's thrilling, it's freeing to have this social contract in place that we have all agreed to, that not just allows for the pursuit of an ideal space, but also a way to kind of move through conflict as we pursue that space. So to me that feels really helpful. Another thing we just did in rehearsal yesterday, was we brought Allyson in to lead a facilitation of how we bring our personal individual stories to this greater story that we are telling. We are telling a history and we are living history in this moment. So it was amazing to hear Allyson give us a technique for how we share our individual stories as humans to the rest of the company, which is a practice we will start incorporating at the beginning of every rehearsal. And I can only wait to see how much that impacts the art that we make on stage, knowing that everyone will know more and be more invested with each other as humans. Aisa Villarosa: [00:29:32] And you're talking about living history, right? And as you were sharing, I wrote down safety to create. It's rare that we as folks of color as Filipinos can be in these safe liberatory spaces. Taking it a little personal, has your family seen Larry yet? Billy Bustamante: [00:29:50] Well, I mean, no one really has, [laughs] you know, our world premiere in March will be a world premiere. No one will, even if people have seen every workshop, this is a version of the musical in its fullest form that no one will have ever seen before. So in that way, I'm very excited. With that said, my parents have been keeping up with all the filmed workshops and the interviews, and that's all been amazing. Both of my parents are on the east coast. They're in the DC area, which is where I'm from. So they're keeping up with it virtually. But I am so excited for them to fly out here, to catch opening weekend. I'm getting a little emotional talking about it right now, but my parents are incredibly supportive as is the rest of my family. And they do a great job at coming to see and support whatever I do. And this one, having them in the room to watch this one, I think will be a really special experience. Aisa Villarosa: [00:30:43] I, I can feel love and as a huge fan, a mentee of folks like Dr. Allyson and Dawn Mabalon there's a moment where a lot of Filipinos, Filipino organizations are trying to archive the struggle, the triumphs of the past, and it's incredible that through theater y'all are doing that in a way that will be fresh for new generations. And speaking of theater, you are always creating, you wear so many hats. Tell us what is coming down the road for you in addition to Larry, would love to hear more. Billy Bustamante: [00:31:26] Yeah. I'm gonna put this into the ether here. I, my hope is that this world premiere of Larry will be the first of many steps for this musical. So what I hope is that the next few years includes more productions of Larry at a bigger and wider scale. With that said, there are a few other projects that I'm really excited about. I am a theater leader, but also an educator. So I'm on teaching faculty at Circle in the Square Theater School, which is the only theater training ground attached to a Broadway theater. So, in that way I feel really excited about the work I get to do with young artists there. We are developing a new musical called The Rosetta Project, which I hope everyone checks out. It's gonna be amazing. I'll be directing that. From there I have a couple of, you know, other pots on the stove. I'll be directing, choreographing a new off-Broadway show called Straight Forward in spring of 2025, which I'm very excited about. There are a couple of other things that I cannot release at this moment, but if you want to keep up with the [laughs] shenanigans I am up to, please check out billybustamante.com because I'll be sure to be shouting from the rooftops with excitement once I can. Aisa Villarosa: [00:32:36] Beautiful. And we will include links to your website, Billy, as well as links for folks to get tickets for Larry at the Brava Theatre. And folks can check that out on the Apex Express website [kpfa.org]. And Billy, before we go, is there anything else you want to share? Billy Bustamante: [00:32:55] I think there is one thing. I'm usually not a person who really is enthusiastic about promoting my projects [laughs]. I've always kind of felt some sense of ickiness around that. Some sense of like transactionality around that [laughs]. But Larry is so special to me and there's a spirit that we are creating in this piece that I think everyone needs to experience and be a part of. And I also recognize that, you know, where audience members choose to spend their money is a big investment and a big decision and I hope that everyone who is excited by anything I've said today or anything we've talked about today finds a way to grab a ticket and join us at the theater. This time will be fleeting and it's gonna be over before we know it, and I really hope everyone gets to be a part of it because I think it's gonna be really special so get those tickets if you can. Aisa Villarosa: [00:33:49] Adding a plus one to that. And Billy, you earlier mentioned the impact of these covid pandemic years and yeah, that was the longest period of theater closures, right? Since World War II. As someone who used to work in the arts I also recall that often there's sort of an elite nature to the arts and one of my favorite things when I go to the Larry website is there are so many people who gave all sorts of amounts to make this happen, right? There's folks who gave like 50 bucks. It's such a welcoming site, so I too hope that this is only the beginning. Billy Bustamante: [00:34:28] Awesome. Thank you so much and thanks to everyone who supported us so far. I'm so grateful. Aisa Villarosa: [00:34:32] Our final track from Larry The Musical is called “Train,” which is about Filipinos jumping trains throughout the western United States, traveling from town to town in search of work in the 1920s and 1930s. Train was written by Gayle Romasanta and Kevin Camia, music composed by Brian Pangilinan and Sean Kana. They wanted to create a broad picture of how the thousands of Filipinos must have met each other, built friendships, planned labor meetings, and all while traveling. Here is the exclusive preview. SONG Aisa Villarosa: [00:35:03] You're listening to Apex Express on KPFA Radio, and I'm your host, Aisa Villarosa. That was a preview of “Train” from Larry The Musical. You just heard Dr. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales and Billy Bustamante talk about what makes the world premiere of Larry The Musical so special. Larry debuts at the Brava Theatre in San Francisco March 16th through April 14th, 2024. Seats are limited, so visit www.larrythemusical.com to buy tickets today. Finally, tonight's episode of Apex Express is dedicated to the life and legacy of Reynaldo Timosa Novicio Jr. a father, son, friend, and prolific sound producer, artist and guiding light of the Filipinx American and Bay Area Music and Civil Rights community. Rey passed away on February 2nd, 2024. I'm joined right now by a friend, a colleague, an incredible artist, activist dad, and a martial arts practitioner, Nomi, AKA Power Struggle. Nomi, it's so great to have you on the show today. Nomi (Power Struggle): [00:37:12] Hey Aisa, thank you for having me. Thank you to the KPFA and the Apex Express listeners. What's up Bay Area? Aisa Villarosa: [00:37:19] Nomi, you rep the Bay Area hard. I think a good way to start our conversation is given all the hats you wear, all the ways that you're making change: What does it mean to be Filipinx American in the Bay Area right now? Nomi (Power Struggle): [00:37:34] I think right now it is a really important moment to, there's been so much happening in this particular moment around the liberation of Palestine and the end of the genocide in Gaza, and I think that a lot of folks in our community have been really seeing this moment as a way to express their solidarity and mobilize and take action against what's happening to the Palestinians. And I think that is just reflective of the bigger, historical context that a lot of Filipino, Filipinx, Americans, immigrants, have experienced and live under, right? So I believe like a lot of folks are just seeing those connections between colonization, the colonization of the Philippines from various different occupation nations and armies, to what's happening in Palestine. And they make those connections and they even are not that far removed, maybe like two generations removed from the experiences of their grandparents that went through the Japanese occupation during World War II and lived through some of those horrors and they remember that stuff and the stories that they were told and I think that informs a large amount of our community to, to mobilize and take action. I'm not saying that, we don't have more conservative folks in our broad community across the Bay Area, but I believe for a lot of young folks, a lot of folks that have taken time to be part of other movements, whether it be the movement for Black Lives, or Indigenous movements, or even for liberation movements in the Philippines, they kind of understand all these connections, and are building bridges and building solidarity with folks. Aisa Villarosa: [00:39:16] Yeah, it's the young and it's the young at heart, right? I think folks who can be ever curious, and, you know, we have made some headway in ethnic studies where folks are connecting the dots, right, between those shared histories, those living histories of struggle. Tonight's episode started off with a tour of Larry Itliong, the new musical coming out. And it's quite clear that to be Filipino in so many ways means to resist. And as it relates to Larry The Musical, resistance through music is such a powerful form of political organizing. Nomi, you're here today because this episode is also a tribute to our friend who passed away, the wonderful Mister Rey, who you have collaborated with, you have made music with. Can you start by just sharing a little bit about who Rey was to you and maybe talk a little bit about what made your musical collaboration so special? Nomi (Power Struggle): [00:40:27] I'm really thankful for this opportunity to just share the story of Mister REY with the entire Bay Area with the country. Mister REY, Reynaldo Novicio, and I worked on one of our first records together. It was called Remittances. And I met Rey back in around 2009. I can't remember specifically where we met. It just happens in life, especially in the art community, you start talking with people and collaborating, and he would invite me to a spot in Daly City, where he was living at the time with his family, and every Saturday morning we would session. I would go over there with Dennis and Kane, Drew, Vi, and we would just, he would just play beats that he had made, and we would write. And after a few months of that, we slowly started to create this body of work that was starting to be more cohesive that would be like the material for the album, Remittances. A couple months after that, we decided to move in, him and his partner, and their family were moving into a spot in the Excelsior District and they had an extra room. I think I was going through a displacement. I think I was going through an eviction in the mission. And so it all kind of worked out and I ended up moving in with them. And that really was just a great opportunity to live together and continue this process of working on this album, which is to me my favorite piece of work. It's so meaningful. The title Remittances. You know, is a remittance obviously, when you send money to your family back home or abroad, was just such a symbol of the immigrant experience, especially for our community and the Filipino community. And so the title was like an offering of culture and love, for our community through music. And that's why we chose that title Remittances and that offering and love transcends beyond just this neighborhood, but also across the seas to our homelands and throughout our diaspora. That project was just really important. For all the artists out there, when you go through a creative process you're partnering with someone and you live with them it's just like a deeper level of connection and struggle [laughs] as well, right? Because, you live together so and Rey has two twin daughters he has one more now. But at the time, and so, you know, you're just really immersed with the family. And for me, it was also such a beautiful experience because Mister REY was a bridge builder. He really was a tulay. He immigrated from the Philippines at a pretty young age, I think late elementary school or middle school, still very much had the identity of the migrant community you know, Tagalog was his first language a lot of his folks, his homies were a lot of recent immigrant hip hop heads and folks from that community. But he was also able to just because there, there is this kind of conception that there's a divide often between immigrant communities and first or second generation Filipino Americans. And it is true to an extent. I've seen it manifest in high schools and on the streets and things like that. But Rey was really able to bridge these differences and connect folks. And so for me, especially someone that grew up in the Midwest, that didn't really grow up around Filipinos, getting to experience living with Mister Rey and his family and living in the Excelsior District, which has the highest concentration of Filipinos in San Francisco, was just such an immersive and beautiful thing and a reconnection to our culture, on so many levels, and I'm already in my, late 20s at the time, and so to go through this experience was really powerful and eye opening. I think it also related to just like what we're fighting for in San Francisco. You know what I mean in the sense of upholding this identity of being a city of multiple languages, a city of multiple classes and incomes. And, and this is what, like, that experience really upheld. At the time I was also doing a lot of work with the Filipino Community Center as a worker's advocate. I was doing some organizing with Migrante, which is a migrant workers organization. And, for all of these kind of different things, from like the organizing work, to my day job, to living with Mister Rey, and being with the Filipino community in the Excelsior, coming together was like one of my favorite periods of my life where I was really understanding more about our culture, our history, our positionality in society and on a local level, on a national level, and on a global level to really understand how politics and history have brought us to America and to really experience it, right? All of these things were super impactful, and I feel like they helped inform and mold what that album, Remittances, was about. And Mister REY was such a huge part of that, right? He was, you know, he wasn't like this crazy political scientist but through his lived experience and his own way of analyzing his life and things he had been through was very sharp and also informing the kind of political influences of this record. So yeah, it was just such a really important time. I don't think I can ever come close to doing something like that again. I just thank him for that year or two that we lived together, embracing me and letting me come into their family life and just being in community with them. His work in terms of, if you visit his catalog of albums, which I highly recommend folks to check out his bandcamp. And it's just Mister REY, M-I-S-T-E-R R-E-Y, check that out and you can hear all of his work. So much like high level art, beat production wise is really sophisticated. He still embraces most of all of his writing and his rapping is in Tagalog. He sprinkles a lot of English in it too but it's just a really beautiful body of work where people in our diaspora can really identify with and just get a lot of nourishment from. So I really suggest folks go check out his catalog. It's really accessible on Bandcamp. Aisa Villarosa: [00:46:40] Nomi, thank you for opening your heart and sharing about what sounded like a really intimate process, right? To make music with someone. And I know the last time I was at Rey's place, he loves his kitchen so I feel like y'all also broke bread, right? Not just making the beats. I was also struck by Rey was such a multi-dimensional advocate, right? Whether it was mental health, whether it was youth issues, right? All of the sort of organizing he did to challenge juvenile curfew laws, for example. You've today brought a track that you worked on with Rey. It's titled “ArtOfficial Freedom” and I'd love for you to cue up the track and just share a little bit about the music. Nomi (Power Struggle): [00:47:31] This was a signature single on the album. It was produced by Mister REY and it also features Mister REY singing the chorus, where he just does a pretty basic refrain where he says, “round and round.” This was like, I feel like for me at least, or many hip hop artists, I think they have that one single on every album that represents the whole album, and I think this is the one. Like I mentioned earlier, around like all the different things that I was doing at the time in terms of community organizing and workers organizing and all the stuff that he was doing, at that time, he was really focusing on mentoring a lot of Tagalog hip hop rappers in the community. And so all these young cats would be at the apartment all the time [laughs], recording in the kitchen. And it was really a lesson for me in Tagalog where I had to like try to learn as much as possible. For all these things to come together, I think are reflected in the song. This song, “ArtOfficial Freedom” is just a great representation of the album. And the title itself is just like a play on words. It spelled art official freedom, to mean that like through art, we can try to aim towards some sense of freedom, some, you know, towards the goal of freedom using art, but then a play of words of artificial freedom that what we are currently existing in and under is an artificial form of freedom. Through this, capitalistic, imperialistic, racist society [laughs]. So that's kind of the play on words, artificial freedom. That was a long time ago. That was like 10 years, no, 14 years ago that we dropped that album. It's great to, I'm glad you're bringing it back on the airwaves. And I just want to give a shout out to also Fatgums, who was the number three part of this record. Lives in LA and is also the CEO of Beatrock Music and Beatrock Art Collective but he was just also a big part of this record. So shout out to Fatgums. Aisa Villarosa: [00:49:25] Here is ArtOfficial Freedom from Mister REY and Power Struggle SONG Aisa Villarosa: [00:53:29] Nomi before we go, is there anything else you'd like to share with the listeners tonight? Nomi (Power Struggle): [00:53:34] When our people leave us in the physical world, there's so many ways that we can continue for them to live on and their legacy to live on, especially through art, and especially through the technologies that exist now. Like I said before, please, check out Mister REY's catalog on Bandcamp, it's just Mister REY, M-I-S-T-E-R R-E-Y and look up his music. He also has a project with MrRey and Aristyles called America is in the Dark. That's a beautiful EP. Please check those things out and promote and propagate them, share them with your friends, download them. It's great music. If I could also please plug, to support his family, Mister Rey leaves behind two twin girls and a young son of the age of nine and their mother. And so if you could please donate to the GoFundMe, if you just look up Reynaldo Novicio, his name will pop up, and any donation is greatly appreciated. Lastly, on March 15th Fifth Elements and Hummingbird Farm is going to be organizing a life celebration, for Mister REY, his creative life and his legacy. It's going to be at Hummingbird Farm, which is in the Excelsior District right by Crocker Park, behind the soccer fields. Check that out on March 15th, 4 to 8 pm. The program is still being crafted, but I guarantee it's going to be a really special time. I think there's going to be some films, there's going to be performances, music, and the space in general, Hummingbird Farm, is a really dope community space that is really people power driven. So please check those things out. And again, just really appreciate this time to share about Mister REY and our work together. Aisa Villarosa: [00:55:14] Thank you, Nomi. And Rey would talk about how the Guitar Center in SoMa was a hub for him early on, and he would just meet people, and you have called Rey a bridge builder. So thank you for being with us here tonight and paying it forward with love.

We've often heard it said that it is important to be evenly yoked. That Christians should marry other Christians - but why? Is this a recommendation from worried parents, or a biblical mandate that we should follow? What about dating a non believer? What about living with your significant other before marriage? Join host Andrew Marcus as he connects with pastor Matt Boga from Reality Church in Stockton California as they unpack what the Bible says and how we ought to navigate dating and marriage in the midst of what today's culture declares acceptable.

In her new book THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE TOWN: Reimagining Discarded America, MICHELLE WILDE ANDERSON, Professor at Stanford Law School and Stanford School of Sustainability, explores vicious cycles in Stockton CA, Lawrence MA, Detroit MI, and Josephine County OR - four communities left behind by the modern economy. As local economies shrink, government is underfunded. As government delivers less to citizens, they lose faith in government and in each other. Coming back gets harder and harder, but it is not impossible. She tells the tough and inspirational stories of “People who” - in her words - “are working their asses off on some of the most important issues in the country.” 

Globalization, technology, devastating impacts from the foreclosure crisis and the opioid addiction have wreaked havoc on communities left behind by the modern economy. Some of these discarded places are rural. Others are cities or suburbs. Some vote blue, others red. Some are the most diverse communities in America, while others are nearly all white, all Latino, or all Black. In this episode we visit four cities and towns with deep poverty and gutted public services— where entire communities are struggling to hold on.Our guest is Michelle Wilde Anderson, a professor of property, local government and environmental justice at Stanford Law School. Her recent book is "The Fight to Save the Town: Reimagining Discarded America"."We have given up on many of these places", Michelle tells us. She describes discarded America as "giant parts of many states that have not found their foothold in the 21st century economy." Discarded America is "a term that describes active decision making."Her book describes the fallout from decades of cuts to local government amidst rising segregation by income and race. She reports on efforts to revive four communities— Stockton California, Lawrence Massachusetts, Josephine County Oregon, and Detroit.The focus is on local activists, community leaders, elected officials and others who have poured their heart and soul into fighting for the places where they live.

Globalization, technology, devastating impacts from the foreclosure crisis and the opioid addiction have wreaked havoc on communities left behind by the modern economy. Some of these discarded places are rural. Others are cities or suburbs. Some vote blue, others red. Some are the most diverse communities in America, while others are nearly all white, all Latino, or all Black. In this episode we visit four cities and towns with deep poverty and gutted public services— where entire communities are struggling to hold on.Our guest is Michelle Wilde Anderson, a professor of property, local government and environmental justice at Stanford Law School. Her recent book is "The Fight to Save the Town: Reimagining Discarded America"."We have given up on many of these places", Michelle tells us. She describes discarded America as "giant parts of many states that have not found their foothold in the 21st century economy." Discarded America is "a term that describes active decision making."Her book describes the fallout from decades of cuts to local government amidst rising segregation by income and race. She reports on efforts to revive four communities— Stockton California, Lawrence Massachusetts, Josephine County Oregon, and Detroit.The focus is on local activists, community leaders, elected officials and others who have poured their heart and soul into fighting for the places where they live. In these places and others some of the most basic aspects of local government services have been dismantled.This podcast was first published last year and is a companion piece to "How Do We Fix It?" episode #390— "For the Love of Cities" with Peter Kageyama.In this episode we learn about brave and innovative efforts to cope with years of falling tax receipts in many communities that were hit hard by the foreclosure crisis, and decades of economic decline as jobs and entire industries moved offshore or to other parts of the country.As always with our podcast, there is also a focus on solutions, as we discuss examples of civic pride and rebuilding.Michelle Wilde Anderson book Review: "Building Back Better— One Community at a Time (New York Times).Recommendation: Richard watched the FX drama series, "The Old Man", starring Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Amy Brenneman and Alia Shawkat.

Quand on a lancé French Expat en octobre 2019, on avait la boule au ventre. Qui allait nous écouter ? Et si on était ridicule ? Et si les histoires ne rencontraient pas leur public ? Comment allions nous éditer les témoignages récoltés ? … Mais vous vous en doutez, on a tout de même fini par appuyer sur le bouton “publier”. On a publié un peu en secret initialement, le temps de s'assurer que tout fonctionne. Mais à peine une heure après la publication, nous avons reçu le message suivant “super cool le podcast ! je viens d'écouter l'épisode 2. Le 1 ne fonctionne pas”. Mise à part le souci technique, c'était fou et officiel : nous avions (au moins) un auditeur. Chemin faisant, on a commencé a discuter avec Anthony. Jeune français parti vivre en Chine mais ayant rencontré l'amour en Californie, d'où il nous écoutait et où il s'était installé peu de temps auparavant. Une belle histoire d'amour et de reconversion un peu dingue, le genre de reconversion dont on entend surtout parler auprès de celles et ceux qui ont décidé de partir vivre à l'étranger. Cette personne, c'est Anthony Derendinger. Ingénieur devenu pilote de ligne, c'est près de 4 ans après avoir enregistré un premier épisode ensemble que nous nous rencontrons en personne lors d'une escale à Denver dans le Colorado et que nous faisons le point sur sa situation.

To get a deeper understanding of Stockton's distinct place in Philippine-American history, I reached out to Little Manila Rising, an organization whose mission is to remember and reclaim Stockton's proud Filipino history. When I arrived, the organization's Community Development Director Irene Calimlim and Board Member Manang Elena Mangahas welcomed me with a tour and intensive history lesson of Stockton's Little Manila. After our tour of Little Manila, I sat down with them to talk in-depth about their personal connection with South Stockton and the Little Manila organization.Little Manila Rising (LMR) serves the South Stockton community, developing equitable solutions to the effects of historical marginalization, institutionalized racism, and harmful public policy. LMR offers a wide spectrum of programs that address education, environment, redevelopment, and public health. LMR values all people's unique and diverse experiences and wishes to see the residents of South Stockton enjoy healthy, prosperous lives.In this episode we'll cover…·       Stockton's distinct history of Filipino Manong and what's left of Little Manila·       Little Manila Rising's efforts in historic preservation, cultural revitalization and environmental protection·       How Stockton's youth, aka "Boomerangs," are returning home to create positive community change ·       The importance of Filipina leaders to decolonize their minds to rise up for their communities·       Stockton's grassroots efforts to create partnerships on the local and national level  Importance of Episode:The amount of passion and dedication Irene and Elena exude to preserve Filipino history as well as advance initiatives to protect the community is nothing short of awe-inspiring. When I hear them talk, I can't help but feel that their determination to uplift and do what is right for both history and for the future comes from the same unending source of strength and integrity that generations of Filipinos have felt who came in search of a better way of life. Because in the end, the Story of Little Manila Stockton is not just their story, it is our story to share, to discover and to create together.Watch Exclusive Footage of this interview with Little Manila Rising:https://youtu.be/rsubrQwuE5g Watch Exclusive Footage from my tour of Little Manila in South Stockton, CA: https://youtu.be/nnhXoDlL-UIConnect with Little Manila Rising: ·       Website:  https://littlemanila.org/·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littlemanilastockton/If you would like to help support Little Manila Rising in their efforts to preserve Stockton's Filipino History, visit https://littlemanila.org/futureJoin the Filipina Soul Sisterhood Circle!

The Willis family got their start in Stockton California where dad Jerry Dean Willis the first was a bar operator. His young sons were trained in the fine art of lawn care. Detailing cars and others by himself. Years later friends would talk of the skills those young men learned so many years ago. I say that in jest.. My guest played under all of the great football coaches at MHS and he then went on to play college ball. And then a business marketing class sent home an assignment to start a business on paper For this college student/MHS graduate, he did that homework and on paper designed a sports bar. Which were the new type of bars being built in the late eighties. Now there are a lot of em, that seem to be on steroids. Compared to one of the originals I am sure in the state, that is the reason I picked this gentleman to be on the show.. He and his father scouted out many locations and were doing research on taking that dream from a piece of paper and making it work bringing it to fruition. This club in Manteca was named ROCKO's based on a nickname given to the owner by some college friends. It stuck and all these years later after a terrible fire gutted and killed the place. The owner, you'll hear re-invented himself and is nowhere near bringing a bar back at his age now. You'll find out in the show here what he has been up to the story of its inception and the life of my guest Jerry Dean Willis JR. or as they call him JD Willis he was the proprietor of Rockos sports bar and he has put in the time here, that's the reason I am here with JD he will tell us about his life and I know I am a little jaded but this gonna be great podcast so settle in adjust your headphones and here comes the story of JD WILLIS and the legend of Rockos on the Man About Town Podcast

Hello to you listening in Stockton, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I live on a glacial rock surrounded by water. I'm never far from sight and sound of water. I turn on the tap and wonderfully clean water from an underground reservoir spills out.  Today is World Water Day 2022 . Held on March 22nd every year since 1993 World Water Day focuses on an indispensable element of life: water. This year's theme is Groundwater. Almost all of the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater. Every day, we depend on safe water for drinking, agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, sanitation, and health care. Yet, there are some 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water.Practical Tip: I invite you to sit with water today and simply Be. Here. Now. How do I do that, you might ask, I'm nowhere near water. Pour yourself a cup of water. Place it where you can see it. Imagine how it got you. Celebrate what you have, cherish it, and take some one action to protect the groundwater you and your loved ones depend on.  Click here  for the  many groundwater stories from around the world You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, including Android, Amazon Music and Audible and join us next time!

It's once again time to Bust the Slump and enjoy another episode of the Slumpbuster podcast! Joining us this week, both Aundre "MMA Dre" Huynh and Mike "The Mobster" Gomez. Mike is a aspiring MMA fighter out of Stockton California currently fighting in amateur. To kick things off, Mike a Stockton native expresses his excitement for Nick Diaz's return to the octagon. Diaz will square off against Robbie Lawler in a rematch of their clash 17-years ago. Diaz got the victory in their first fight but will a five year layoff prove too much against Lawler at UFC 266? #NickDiaz Fighter pay has been a hot button issue in the MMA community. UFC fighters reportedly take home about 18% of the revenue the company generates. Other pro leagues offer their athletes closer to a 50-50 revenue split. Is this a sustainable business model for Dana White and the UFC? Should fighters consider the idea of collectively bargaining to ensure a more financially stable future in the ever growing sport? #UFC The UFC Heavyweight division has an influx of amazing talent but tons of confusion. Francis Ngannou beat Stipe Miocic for the title back in March. Three months later, Ciryl Gane beat Derrick Lewis for the interim crown. Currently Ngannou and Gane is being billed as the next fight. This has rubbed former champion Miocic the wrong way as he seeks a rematch with Ngannou. Meanwhile Jon Jones looks to potentially move to heavyweight and Ngannou is vying for that challenge.
