“"Filipino" is the Spanish side of our history. The islands were named after King Felipe, so we became known as Filipinos. It's a brand, it's a name. But we're Malays. Before colonizers came to our shores, we were Malays. My praxis is about being Malay - the struggle of the Malays before we became Filipinos.” NamesSidesKnownStruggleKingsBrandsIslandsShoreFilipinoPraxis Author:Lav Diaz
