EP001 - Vanessa Antonio “Coach Vee”
The first episode of Almost Honest sets the tone for the series: raw, thoughtful conversations about modern womanhood—without filters, performative feminism, or romanticized advice.
In this episode, Kylie sits down with Coach Vee, the Philippines’ first Filipina certified matchmaker, to unpack the realities of Filipino dating culture today. Rather than positioning Coach Vee solely as an expert, the conversation explores her lived experiences, hard-earned insights, and the contradictions women face when love, success, and cultural expectations collide Pre-roll-casual-behind-the-scenes.
This episode establishes Almost Honest as a safe space for nuance: no perfect answers, just real talk.
New Episode
In Episode 5 of Almost Honest, a deeply personal and politically charged conversation unfolds with Senator Risa Hontiveros, the leader of the opposition and one of the Philippines’ most outspoken voices for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and government accountability.
This episode moves beyond headlines and soundbites to examine the human cost of courage. From standing alone as “1 against 23” in the Senate, to leading corruption investigations and pushing controversial but necessary legislation, Senator Risa opens up about fear, burnout, integrity, and the emotional toll of choosing principle over popularity.
At its core, this is not just a political episode. It is a conversation about modern womanhood, moral clarity, and what it really means to use your voice when silence is safer.
