one of the myths of neoliberal education is the creation of a system that forces students to compete and package themselves as measurable assets to the job market. napatunayang tama pa rin si marx sa alienation of labor kahit sa sistemang pang-edukasyon 🤷

support local is THIS deep. dapat may centralised system ang gobyerno para 'yung mga produkto ng mga magsasaka natin ay nasa mga palengke at hapagkainan natin.
farm-to-table. pinas-to-pinas. mas mura, mas fresh, mas masustansya—panalo ang pinoy!

TAMBAK NA KAMATIS SA NUEVA VIZCAYA LOOK: Tinatapon na lamang ng mga magsasaka ang kanilang inaning kamatis dahil wala umanong bumibili sa Nueva Viscaya Agricultural Trading Center (NVAT).

Not all language with a word that ends with letter "o" is masculine.
Example:
The Filipino word "tango" is to nod
The Filipino word "tanga" is you.

@SpillTati genuine question: why do you think the term exists?
bc i feel like we have different ideas of the concept and we end up talking past each other haha
English
@danniishere_ and that’s an entirely diff conversation beyond op’s point. invoking our pre-colonial past is recognition of the fact that gender-neutrality has existed in local consciousness. and “progressive” is such a tenuous term, according to whom exactly & does it lean on western trends?
English
a non-filipino trying to lecture filipinos. filipinx is a western invention. to say “filipino” is only tied to colonial framing of feminine/masculine is to erase the fact that gender-neutral lenses in language/role/identity have long existed in our islands even before the Spanish

they don’t care at all. it’s all about control and political optics while people continue to struggle. instead of implementing meaningful programs that provide stable employment and economic opportunity, they rely on short term handouts that ultimately keep people dependent

ayudas are a way for politicians and the government to control people. kasi kung hindi, bakit imbes na tulungan ang mahihirap makaahon, mas tinataasan pa ang job requirements? mas mabuti pang bigyan ang mga tao ng stable na pagkakakitaan kaysa puro ayuda. JOB CREATION IS BETTER.
English
@MminaMac and if you think about it, Filipinx (even tho i hate the term for aesthetic reasons lol) serves a purpose in THEIR environment. Where there is a need for this dual Filipino-GNC identity.
That’s the fun part about culture/ identity!! It’s more creative than what people think :>
English
I don't think Filipinos saying "Filipino is already gender-neutral" is coming from taking the masculine form as the default. I mean, it definitely did do that because Spanish lol. But it's moreso a reflection of reclamation. It's OUR word now, OUR language is gender neutral—
English
@danniishere_ I've thought about it, but is that even really possible? I feel like, to ask to be included in a cultural identity whilst simultaneously rejecting the culture doesn't work. I get that they're navigating the Western worldview they grew up in, but—
English
@SpillTati also it’s not just patriarchy btw. it’s for people outside the binary (hence, not A, not O)
i dont agree with the label for shallower reasons. but, based on what i’ve read, this is mostly for fil-ams who want to identify as queer
we don’t need to participate
English
@danniishere_ im pretty sure there is a very clear intersection of native filipinos advocating for the same causes who are also critical of “filipinx” as a label. they arent mutually exclusive y’know. no one is absolving the patriarchy in the country…
English
@MminaMac You do recognize the validity of diasporic identities so why do people think that Filipinos migrating abroad don’t deserve to define identity on their own terms/intersection?
It’s like:
I’m not divorcing why should others be allowed
I’m not gay why should there be gay marriage
English
@SpillTati i just find it annoying when people invoke pre-colonial wokeness/gender acceptance but still on the whole, won’t let sogie bill pass? or exclude trans women in women’s month? or have bigots run the country?
parang “there is no war in ba sing se” yung vibes lol
English
@SpillTati also sorry, nakakarindi pakinggan yung “shallow western tokenism” lalo na when describing queer identities
like we est., queer identities have long existed pre-colonial times not until, just like the language, it’s been bastardized by our colonizers
English
@SpillTati can’t you also argue that having O vs A to indicate masc vs fem (pinOy vs. pinAy) is also an artifact of our colonizers’ language?
if we’re so gung ho about this purist decoloniality, then we already failed by this logic.
English
@SpillTati playing devil’s advocate here: sure, the language we natively had is gender neutral.
but aren’t many of our words inherited from spain (either linguistically or historically) including Philippines and Filipinos? a lot of it is gendered as well: tio/tia -> tito/tita
