I am a college student just beginning to learn about her culture. I wanted to comment to you to say thank you very much for blogging about these kinds of issues. I am from San Francisco, California and would like to know if you can help me, is there any information you have of how I can help the PI here in America. I am hoping to join the Gabriela network.Donna S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14322720733895227417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31734362.post-24091896602481889532009-09-11T12:52:12.062-05:002009-09-11T12:52:12.062-05:00Ninotch, let me know when you are coming over to L...Ninotch, let me know when you are coming over to Los Angeles, I will make you the original pancit molo, a Visayan delicacy.

I find it odd that Filipinos have alienated themselves from their greater community instead of finding strength in unity. It is unfortunate and very hurtful that Filipinos alienate and discriminate other Filipinos with the concept of balik bayan. I understand that some who are balik bayan have caused Filipinos to hate them. Some balik bayans return as fully fledged subordinates of white capitalist supremacy. Their conspicuous consumption and conceit and even racism inspire resentment from other Filipinos who are also victims of the same white capitalist hegemony . I had my own experience with being a balik bayan when I was in the Philippines a few years ago. I followed my parents instructions to speak only in Tagalog and avoid acting like a tourist. Nonetheless, they spotted us as balik bayans. They were kind to us when they had something to sell. Outside the shops, however, we were clearly not treated with the same hospitality as the white tourists. Sometimes I wonder if the preferential treatment to whites in the Philippines was not hospitality at all but fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31734362.post-27252958144173555432009-08-20T21:34:19.951-05:002009-08-20T21:34:19.951-05:00Dumpling soup is soup inside a wonton bag.

They gave the world people power -- which changed regimes in many places, for better or for worse, but CHANGED those regimes. Meanwhile the Philippines and Filipinos seem mired in the quagmire of the same rulers. How come?Sheridannoreply@blogger.com
