NATIONALISM “[In an era marked by diaspora] nationalism has provided a language for organizing and mobilizing overseas and immigrant
communities in response to racial and sexual discrimination and
often in alliance with similarly marginalized groups, both in the host country and the Philippines.” (Rafael, 13)
AND YET “[nationalism] has also functioned to reify identities,
freeze the past, and encourage the commodification of ethnicity that situates Filipinos abroad in a touristic—that is to say,
neocolonial—relationship with the Filipinos at home” (Rafael, 14)

“Imaginary topographies that construct the United States and the Philippines as physically contiguous are part of many Filipino immigrant narratives. Roberto, one of my informants, told me that while he was growing up he had always thought that America was just an hour bus ride away, hidden by the mountains of his home province. As a child, he had watched gray buses containing dozens of young American men with crew cuts running down the main highway near his home on their way to some spot in the mountains. It was only when he was 11 and he took a trip to Olongapo City that he learned that the America he thought was in the mountains was in fact a military facility and that America was indeed very far away.” (Manalansan, 12)

“Cultural citizenship [therefore] is constituted by unofficial or vernacular scripts that promote seemingly disparate views of membership within a political and cultural body or community.
Citizenship requires more than the assumption of rights and duties; more importantly, it also requires the performance and
contestation of the behavior, ideas, and images of the proper citizen….Cultural citizenship [then] is not about monolithic constructions of identity and belonging, but rather about
competing cultural traditions and ideologies of self and personhood.” (Manalansan, 14)

“Few countries give the observer a deep feeling of historical vertigo than the Philippines. Seen from Asia, the armed uprising against Spanish rule of 1896, which triumphed temporarily with the establishment of an independent republic in 1898, makes it the visionary forerunner of all other anti-colonial movements in the region. Seen from Latin America, it is, with Cuba, the last of the Spanish imperial possessions to have thrown off the yoke, seventy-five years after the rest. Profoundly marked, after three and a half centuries of Spanish rule, by counter-Reformation Catholicism, it was the only colony in the Empire where the Spanish language never became widely understood. But it was also the only colony in Asia to have had a university in the 19th century….Today, thanks to American imperialism, and the Philippines’ new self-identification as ‘Asian,’ almost no one other than a few scholars understands the language in which the revolutionary heroes communicated among themselves and with the outside world—to say nothing of the written archive of pre-twentieth century Philippine history. A virtual lobotomy has been performed.” – (Benedict Anderson, “The First Filipino”)
