Katrin describes moving from Munich to the Philippines after marrying a local filmmaker and jeepney driver. She reflects on the immediate warmth of Filipino hospitality, which contrasted significantly with her experiences in Germany.
After pursuing a degree in psychology, Katrin studied under Dr. Virgilio Enrique to understand the indigenous Filipino philosophy of KAPWA. She highlights how this communal spirit manifests in everyday life, from sharing food on public transport to the openness of Filipino artists.
Katrin discusses how her experiences and the wisdom of her family, including her late son's philosophy of 'making people happy and serving,' represent the true essence of the Filipino soul—a spirit she believes can help re-educate and soften the world.
