I am Bianca May L. Dorado, a BA Communication Arts student at the University of the Philippines Los Banos. This is a project for COMA 190 (Special Problem) class I enrolled for the First Semester AY 2018-2019. The topics under this focus mostly on  how Filipino identity is being asserted despite the attempt to globalization and the still prevalent colonial mentality. 

There are three constituents, namely, literature, communication, and language. These three are highlighted as one of the factors that affects the manner of embodying Filipino identity. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308282891 Introduction bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308304542 2018-11-27 14:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308304542 Acknowledgements bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308304628 This semester had been a roller coaster ride. I gained, rekindled, and lost people that painted great part of my life. I have learned lessons not only inside the academe but also to use whatever endeavor my feet shall set on. 
With this, I extend my deepest gratitude to my parents, siblings, my boyfriend and our dog, my great friends, and to you reading this. This is all meant for you. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308304628 Literature bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318167 2018-11-27 15:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318167 Communication bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318513 2018-11-27 15:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318513 Language bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318632 2018-11-27 15:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308318632 Evaluation bldorado https://padlet.com/bldorado/forging/wish/308555746       The chosen texts above are based on the underlying concept of asserting the identity of Filipinos amidst the impact of colonizers in terms of language use, communication, and literary. All the text are tackling the representation happening in a discourse where involved parties are foreigners and natural-born citizens in a particular country mostly related to the Philippines. It is to know the varying context and practices of othering since in the country, even its own citizens are subjected to othering by foreigners visiting the country. These texts are also chosen to identify the colonial mentality not only among average Filipinos but also to literary writers considering the fact that literary works have the ability to shape notions and perceptions of its readers depending on their interpretation of the text. Choosing the texts was not easy since it must encompass the possible subtopics. The hardest to find text is under the literary category, and it is even the hardest to critic. In general, my basis is to find and to follow a common trend among the texts in order to pave a clear way in my final project, and other articles also need to be used since it embodies new and highly sensible ideas needed to be more popularized for the benefit of everyone. 
            These texts will be useful since they vary on the focused subjects from international organizations to criticizing literary writers. It provides varying manifestations of identity crisis that may be used in analyzing Filipinos having problems in standing by with their identity to the extent where they undergo erasing their identity to blend in. This is also to shed light to the IPs in the Philippines who are coerced to keep up with the demands in the country particularly on advancement and development where in fact they have their own definition of development such as protecting and keeping their ancestral lands compared to the definition of most Filipinos which is being globally competitive. This is to enlighten and create a new norm that will strengthen Filipino identity and assert themselves even during discourses with foreigners.
