Home Sweet Forever Home

What do you love about where you live? Oh, there’s so much to love about where I live, which happens to be located in the awesome province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. As a proud Ilocana, let me break it down for you. First off, the geographical diversity here is a real treat. We’ve got this mix of stunning coastline and beautiful plains. Depending on where you are, you might even catch a glimpse…

𝔽𝕚𝕝-𝔸𝕞 ℍ𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕙 (PART II) ✧1521-1898 Spain colonized Philippines. ✧End of 1898 U.S. bought Philippines after Spanish-American war. ✧ Philippine-American war followed because of colonial resistance. ✧U.S. helped enforce common language throughout Philippines: Tagalog and English. ✧Philippines gained independence from U.S. after WWII. ✧Quarter of a million Filipinos served in WWII. To entice enlistment, soldiers were promised full Veterans benefits and full citizenship. Post-war, those promises did not come into full fruition for everyone. ------ Although I am Filipino in heritage and by ethnicity, my nationality and citizenship is American. I am a Filipino-American. I affirm this because that is not recognized everywhere. When I go to the Philippines, my relatives do not see me or label me as "American." The idea is that I do not "look American." While I did not take offense to that, seeing that there was a lack of understanding, it shed light to these questions: So what does an American look like? What does it look like to be American? What is the idea that they have in their minds, and why is that? Anyway, Philippine-American history month is celebrated, along with other POC such as Black History month (February) or Hispanic Heritage month (September) in order to affirm and bring light to the narratives and achievements of POC that go invisible in American history books. You can learn more about all of this by taking an ethnic studies class and I encourage all to look into their cultural and ethnic heritage 💖 #siquijodnon #visayan #ilocana #fahm #filam #filipinoamerican #pilipinx #magandangmorenx #modernfilipina #islandwomxnrise #filipinoamericanhistorymonth #filipinosinacademia #ethnicstudies #mwpusa #missworldphilippinesusa #missworldphilippines2019 (at DTLA Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u2ME6gMfr/?igshid=q3xqvzeb0elq

So far Yet so close to heart. It is a desire of mine to retell my ancestral country's history through a lens that acknowledges the dominant narrative (of conquest and colonialism) and to acknowledge the suppression and almost obliteration of a spiritual culture. As a Filipina-American, I am in a place where I personally feel like there's a part of my culture that has been fragmented and forgotten. The voice and way of people who were "discovered." People whose languages were already developed, who had already been trading with Chinese merchants, and who had already been influenced by other lands. The dominant narrative is that we were discovered. But. I think. We had already existed. #siquijorisland #philippineislands #ilocana #visayan (at Siquijor, Siquijor)
