EWP fangirl here!! I was just there in LA for Thanksgiving week. Please go see Spring Awakening which got extended to Dec 3, my cousin is the music director and it prominently features in the cast an iconic Cobra Kai actor! Good luck my pren at the solo workshop, that's fantastic. I would also totally watch that TED talk by you dressing down these last name as first name out of touch faux AAPI allies :D
P.S. My mom pronounces it Pi-LAH-pil, is that right? And it's so cool you take ownership of what your name means in Tagalog. My maiden last name doesn't have the greatest translation either, but then my dad told me the origin story and I don't care if it's apocryphal and my ancestors pulled it out of their ass. It made me proud not only to be Filipino, but a Maramot!

I'm so excited for Spring Awakening—seeing it this week! And I think your mom is right! That's the version I ended up settling on lol
