Isip Talangka

“Crab Mentality”, the behavior of pulling other people down, is as prevalent among Filipinos as it is seemingly innate in human nature. What triggers such a phenomenon? What ensues when faced with it? Is it possible to break the cycle? Stephanie and Leo investigate and share their thoughts and experiences with this unhealthy habit, and try to find ways to rise above what can very well be an obstructive and vicious way of being.
