This project takes a transnational approach in order to compare beauty and skin color hierarchy among Filipinas in the Philippines and in the diaspora. It examines how beauty standards are constructed locally and globally, and how Filipino women in the Philippines and the U.S. respond to these standards. It addresses the popularity of skin-lightening products in the Philippines and looks at how Filipino American women are affected by this practice. This project also explores how skin-lightening products are marketed and analyzes the role of mixed-race models in this marketing. 1 To my sisters.

While my name is on the cover, none of this work would have been possible without the support of countless people. Over the years, I have been overwhelmed by the interest, love, and care that people have showed regarding the project. I thank everyone who has been part of this journey with me. It should be noted that these simple, thankful words do not compare to what you have all given me. In no particular order, I’d like to say maraming salamat to some great people. Many thanks to my wonderful committee: Cathy Ceniza Choy, thank you for being so kind and patient. Though I have not always been up to par with my work, I am always grateful for the time and guidance you have given me. When I first saw you during your job talk, I have always admired your brilliance and it has been an honor to work with you all these years. Patricia Penn Hilden, time and time again, you have come through for me. I am and will always be grateful for your support and candor. I cannot thank you enough! Abigail De Kosnik, meeting you was such a breath of fresh air. I’m grateful for our quirky conversations, your advice, and your ability to understand my love for Journey. Margaret Hunter, I feel fortunate to have you on my committee. Your insight has always been valuable and I thank you for your thoughtfulness. Although a bureaucratic technicality prevented me from listing him as an official committee member, special thanks goes to Paul Spickard. You have been an immeasurable mentor since I was an undergraduate at UC Santa Barbara. Even more, you are family. None of this would have been possible without your help. Many thanks for the extra push and believing in me – especially when I didn’t have the courage to do so. On that note, I’d also like to thank the Hui (also known as the Spicklets). It is an honor to be in the company of such stellar people. This work could have never been completed without the support, candor, and vibrant voices of the numerous women across the Pacific who shared their stories with me. While I cannot name you (for the sake of anonymity), please know that I am in awe of you and thankful for everything that you shared. Your voices illuminated the richness of this project. I will always be humbled by your generosity. Though my stay in the Philippines was quite short (in retrospect), I am indebted to the wonderful people who made my stay memorable. To the Rondilla clan, I am so happy to have finally met you and am grateful for the time we had together. Judy, thank you so much for the care you provided my mom. I’m also grateful for your help with some of the translation work. Itas, thank you for your company and your kindness. To Claire Villacorta, Miam Tan-Fabian, Erick Fabian, and Paolo Cruz: I cannot thank you enough for taking me under your wing and welcoming me into your circle of friends. Your successes and commitment to art and progressive thinking continue to amaze me. Miam, I want to also thank you for all your help and guidance. I can’t wait to meet again and share delicious treats. I would also like to thank Oscar Campomanes for coordinating such a wonderful evening of conversation over delicious food. Finally, thanks to the Refuerzo clan for welcoming me to their home. Over the years, I have met many professors and fellow graduate students who have impacted my academic career in so many ways. To my AIGSA (American Indian Graduate Student Association) and IPIA (Indigenous Pacific Islander Alliance) families: Danika Medak- Saltzman, Dory Nason, Majel Boxer, Carmen Foghorn, Fuifuilupe Niumeitolu, Makana Paris, Vika Palaita, and Mikey Tuncap, though it has been many years, I thank you for your friendship and all the wonderful collaborations. To my CFFSC (Critical Filipina/o Studies Collective) family: Nerissa Balce, Peter Chua, Lucy Burns, Robyn Rodriguez, Jeffrey Santa Ana, Richard iv Chua, it has been many years. Though a lot has happened since the group started, I thank you for your incredible mentorship and for paving the road for people like me. In addition, I would like to thank the Critical Filipina/o Studies Working Group (especially my partner-in-crime, Gladys Nubla) for all the incredible conversations. I’m proud to note that what we did at Cal matters. To Vince Diaz, I still have not forgotten the ways you and your work have influenced me. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. I have had the privilege to serve as a teaching assistant with some excellent scholars who have given me an excellent template of what it means to be a caring, dedicated teacher. I humbly thank Ron Takaki for giving me the chance to work with him. You are missed. Michael Omi, Catherine Ceniza Choy (again), Wesley Uyeunten, Dawn Mabalon, Anna Leong, and Khuyen Nguyen, many thanks for creating such a wonderful learning environment for me and our students. In addition, my gratitude goes to some of the best students around. Time and again, you inspire me and remind me of why I love what I do. There isn’t a single graduate student who could survive without an excellent support staff. I am indebted to Jahleezah Eskew. Though you have moved on from the department, I continue to consider myself lucky to have you as a friend. To Francisca Cazares, I thank you for your sense of humor and bringing Elvisstant to our lives! To make this project happen, my deepest gratitude goes to the Ethnic Studies program for doing their best to keep me financially afloat. I would also like to acknowledge the Ford Foundation Fellowship for their years of support during my pre-doctoral years, and the UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Dissertation Fellowship program for providing a year of support. In addition, I would like to thank G. Reginald Daniel, Ingrid Banks, and Maxine Craig for their support in the post-doctoral application process. I’m sure one day we will have the opportunity to work together. It was my honor to teach some incredible students at Santa Clara University. Many thanks to James Lai for the opportunity. Your leadership as the program’s chair is inspiring. I would also like to recognize Pauline Nguyen for the support during my time there. I hope to work with you all again someday soon. I would like to extend a special thank you to Rudy Guevarra, Kathy Nakagawa, and Mary Margaret Fonow at Arizona State University for giving me the opportunity to teach there.

  • Diaspora Philanthropy: the Philippine Experience
    Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience ______________________________________________________________________ Victoria P. Garchitorena President The Ayala Foundation, Inc. May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world.

  • How Filipino Food Is Becoming the Next Great American Cuisine.” by Ty Matejowsky, University of Central Florida
    Volume 16, Number 2 (2020) Downloaded from from Downloaded https://www.usfca.edu/journal/asia-pacific-perspectives/v16n2/matejowsky PHOTO ESSAY: Contemporary Filipino Foodways: Views from the Street, Household, and Local Dining, “How Filipino Food is Becoming the Next Great American Cuisine.” By Ty Matejowsky, University of Central Florida Abstract As a rich mélange of outside culinary influences variously integrated within the enduring fabric of indigenous food culture, contemporary Filipino foodways exhibit an overarching character that is at once decidedly idiosyncratic and yet uncannily familiar to those non- Filipinos either visiting the islands for the first time or vicariously experiencing its meal/ snack offerings through today’s all but omnipresent digital technology. Food spaces in the Philippines incorporate a wide range of venues and activities that increasingly transcend social class and public/domestic contexts as the photos in this essay showcase in profound and subtle ways. The pictures contained herein reveal as much about globalization’s multiscalar impact as they do Filipinos’ longstanding ability to adapt and assimilate externalities into more traditional modes of dietary practice. Keywords: Philippines, foodways, globalization Asia Pacific Perspectives Contemporary Filipino Foodways - Ty Matejowsky • 67 Volume 16, No. 2 (2020) For various historical and geopolitical reasons, the Philippines remains largely distinct in the Asia Pacific and, indeed, around the world when it comes to the uniqueness of its culinary heritage and the practices and traditions surrounding local food production and consumption. While the cuisines of neighboring countries (e.g. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China) have enjoyed an elevated status on the global stage for quite some time, Filipino cooking and its attendant foodways has pretty much gone under the radar relatively speaking Figure 1.

    THE DYNAMICS OF TRANSNATIONAL PHILANTHROPY BY MIGRANT WORKERS TO THEIR COMMUNITIES OF ORIGIN: THE CASE OF POZORRUBIO, PHILIPPINES by JEREMAIAH M. OPINIANO Institute on Church and Social Issues Manila, Philippines Paper presented to the Fifth International Society for Third-Sector Research (ISTR) International Conference July 10, 2002 – University of Cape Town, South Africa THE Philippine government heralds its over seven million citizens overseas, popularly known as overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), as the country’s “modern-day heroes.” The remittances that these Filipino migrants1 send, which amount to over US$ 6 billion from 1999 to 2001, have helped save the struggling Philippine economy. Remittances’ economic contributions are a significant reason why the government continues to make international labor migration a vital part of the country’s economic recovery efforts. For nearly three decades, international labor migration has helped the Philippines ease high unemployment rates, improve its balance of payments, and increase foreign reserves. There has been much debate on how remittances should be spent, and how are they “productively” or “unproductively” used. But one of the identified approaches of how migrants utilize remittances, aside from doing this for the consumptive needs of their families, is financing social and economic development projects in the emigration country. An example is Senegal, where remittances from international migrants are a source of revenue for both migrant families and the social development projects of the hometowns (Ammassari and Black, 2001). This practice is what civil society scholars call diaspora philanthropy, although the author is renaming this as transnational philanthropy (with supplementary theoretical and conceptual explanations). For civil society studies, philanthropy from the diaspora is a newly emerging theme.
