Inside the KakaComputer Podcast: a guest shares what it’s like bridging local and metro tech culture in the Philippines.
Walking into a professional podcast studio for the first time hit differently.
I’m based in Nueva Ecija. Our tech conversations often revolve around getting stable internet, fixing outdated computers, or helping someone access a government portal. So stepping into the KakaComputer studio in Metro Manila? It felt like entering another layer of the tech world I thought I already understood.
The shift wasn’t just in the setting—it was in the language, the pace, the depth of conversations. I wasn’t just a guest; I was a sponge.
Where Energy Meets Alignment
From the start, I knew this wasn’t your typical recording session. I met people who spoke the same language of passion and progress, just with a sharper edge. We shared thoughts on education, internships, tech careers, project management, and yes—why LinkedIn isn’t as lame as people think.
But the highlight wasn’t the topics. It was the energy. The kind that comes from being in a room full of people who don’t just understand tech—they live it.
The Jargon Hit Different
Being a KakaComputer Podcast Guest showed me something I didn’t expect—how fast language evolves when you’re in a community that lives and breathes innovation.
Hearing these terms in action gave me perspective on how language shapes the speed and depth of collaboration. In the province, we often have to spend more time aligning on the basics. In the metro, the conversation starts three steps ahead.
It made me reflect: how can we bring more of that vocabulary—and mindset—into our classrooms, coworking spaces, and LGU offices?
Different Starting Points, Same Destination
This experience didn’t make me feel behind. It made me feel grounded. It reminded me that we don’t need to catch up—we need to connect. We need to open more spaces like this to students, educators, and professionals outside urban centers.
Tech should feel like a conversation you’re invited into—not one you’re eavesdropping on.
Wrapping Up: Conversations That Move You
My guesting at KakaComputer wasn’t just a mic-and-camera moment. It was a reset. A reminder that great ideas don’t just come from tech tools—they come from people bold enough to listen, share, and grow together.
If you’re looking for a sign to step outside your comfort zone, this is it.
