One Down 2025-08-08 | For generations, Filipinos have been told that lighter skin is more beautiful. But where did that belief come from, and who profits from it?

This video unpacks the global skin whitening industry, from its colonial roots to its billion-dollar profits. We explore how pageants, media, and tourism reinforce Eurocentric standards and how Filipino entrepreneurs can fight back by building something better.

One Down 2025-06-01 | Did you know that the way your parents loved you might be influencing your sex life today? 👀 From anxious texts to fear of intimacy, your attachment style could be shaping how you show up in relationships.

Why no one in the Philippines ever gets a divorce

One Down 2025-03-27 | In the Philippines, ending a marriage legally is nearly impossible since divorce remains illegal. No matter how much you want to leave a marriage, current laws only allow for annulment or legal separation, which can be costly and complicated. However, the proposed Absolute Divorce Act could finally change that.

What do you think? Should divorce be legalized in the Philippines?

How America is Ruining Ube

One Down 2024-10-25 | America loves the trendy purple hue of ube, but is it the real thing? Major U.S. brands are selling ube-flavored products that don’t honor its Filipino roots. Discover why authentic ube matters, how to support the farmers who cultivate it, the cultural significance behind this Filipino dessert, and how Filipino-Americans can preserve its heritage as ube gains popularity.

Are Filipinos forever in debt to their families?

One Down 2024-09-06 | Ever heard of “Utang Na Loob”? If you’re from a Filipino family, this cultural value likely shaped your upbringing. It’s the “debt of one’s inner self,” reminding children to repay their family’s sacrifices. But is this tradition healthy for future generations, or has it become a burden?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the complexities of utang na loob—from career choices dictated by financial security to the sacrifices made by OFWs. Should we break free from this “debt” or honor it? Join us as we explore whether this mindset is toxic or motivating for Filipinos today.

Filipino family values often lead to lifelong support systems, but what happens when that becomes a burden? The South of Market Community Action Network (SOMCAN) advocates for financial equity and resource access in Filipino American communities, addressing economic challenges faced by many families today.

I Confront My Mom on my Childhood Trauma | Trauma Bond

One Down 2024-07-19 | We had this Filipino mother and daughter confront some hard issues in their relationships regarding body shaming, childhood trauma, and how our parents shape who we are. Will they be able to talk through their issues and reconnect their unhealthy relationship? #TraumaBond #filipino #filipinoamerican #onedown

Trauma Bond is One Down’s newest show that dives deeper into taboo topics and relationships within the Filipino community. In each episode, Gen X Filipinos, who have immigrated from the Philippines, confront uncomfortable truths and controversial issues in a raw and unfiltered manner with their family. #filipino #onedown

Disclosure: In psychology, a trauma bond is a strong emotional attachment that can form between someone who is being abused or mistreated and their abuser. The name of this show does not refer to the psychological term, but rather is a colloquial usage to lightly describe this format of discussing trauma with our families to become closer. the action of bonding over shared trauma. Our main goal is to raise awareness on these taboo topics within the Filipino community.

Bystander Effect in Hate Crimes #stopasianhate #filipino #onedown #shorts

One Down 2024-06-01 | Most hate crimes and incidents occur in public spaces like public transport, streets, shops, and bars. These places are rarely empty, and bystanders are present in up to 86% of these cases. We need to take responsibility and learn how to be active bystanders so we can de-escalate these situations!

Thank you to Heidi Lau from Asian Youth Center (aycla.org) for educating us on the bystander effect and how to react when we see a hate crime/incident. Los Angeles offers free bystander intervention training for Asian communities, held in multiple languages including English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Tagalog virtually and in-person.
