What is an aswang? This is a question that has continually resurfaced during my twenty years of studying the folklore and religious beliefs of the various ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines. It is a question that so intrigued me, I spent almost five years exclusively exploring the topic, culminating in my documentary The Aswang Phenomenon (2011). It is a question that has confronted many before me, and will hopefully continue to intrigue academic and creative minds into the future. For the Filipino, the answer may seem very simple and concise. They will likely answer the question based on the belief in their community with such certainty and vigor that there is little room for misinterpretation. Moving to the next barangay will elicit a different yet equally assertive answer. Travelling throughout the country leaves one with hundreds of interpretations. In the 1960s, Dr. Maximo Ramos, affectionately referred to as the “Dean of Philippine Lower Mythology,” undertook the monumental task of creating taxonomical classification of folkloric beings throughout the Philippines. The culmination of this work was eventually published in a book called The Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology (very recommended). Within its pages, folkloric creatures are neatly placed into twelve categories; Demons, Dragons, Dwarves, Elves, Ghouls, Giants, Merfolk, Ogres, Vampires, Viscera Suckers, Were beasts, and Witches. What I found curious was that the aswang appeared in five of these categories; Ghouls, Vampires, Viscera Suckers, Were beasts, and Witches. These became the taxonomic classification for the aswang in Ramos’ later work The Aswang Complex in Philippine Folklore (also recommended).

Deadliest regions in the Philippines for environmental defenders

Marcos, Bonifacio pointed out, has been "alarmingly silent" on the issue of the killings. "We must acknowledge that environmental defenders are guardians of our ecosystems, not enemies of the state," Lindo said.

Do you still believe in love? 💕

Learn more about the heartwarming theme of #Tingin6! 🎬

Join us as #TinginFilmFest makes its return to the Red Carpet Cinemas, Shangri-la Plaza Mall, from September 22 to 24, 2023, and on Vimeo from September 29 to October 1. 🎥🍿

BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS TRACE the origin of romantic love to the love of the mother for her offspring. Today romantic love has become what Eva Illouz calls the "fundamental core of modernity." Following numerous requests, this year's Tingin Southeast Asian Film Festival explores the region's conventions and modern reinventions of relationships and intimacy. Renata Rossi and David West identify two schools of thought on romantic love: the first as a "conservative impulse," the second, a catalytic force. Romantic love tends to reinforce oppressive gender relations, and marriage only entraps women in the reproductive sphere to fuel a productivist model of development. For others, love tears down the boundaries of class, skin, and even faith. The very idea of the romantic partner as "the other half" suggests one's completeness via love. Early societies were mostly polygynous. With surplus, monogamous marriages came about to ensure purity of the genetic line ostensibly for inheritance or wealth preservation. Budding (or resurrected) ideas such as polyamory and romanticism disrupt the cultural script of coupledom. Cheshire Calhoun even goes as far as to say that relationships are no more than a mimicry of heterosexuality and its rituals. Biologically, Homo sapiens has embraced monogamy-arguably the end game of romantic love-because of evolutionary benefits. Matt Ridley finds that faithful mates leave behind more progeny, discouraging the formation of harems: "The species is [thus] taken over by monogamy." Cinema has produced a prodigious output of films about romantic love. For some time, the romantic comedy even became a dominant film genre. West balks at this as the "endless commercial recycling of entertaining fantasies by the 'culture industry." But romantic movies have a more durable if unsung virtue: "Romantic sentiments resist the economistic, rational calculus that has colonized other spheres of daily life," say James Dowd and Nicole Pallotta. Romantic love can be a harbinger of transformation. Romantic love can be subversive because a union with another person is driven by intrinsic impulses, not extrinsic forces, according to Anthony Giddens. Relationships are being remade by emerging ways of sociality; romantic love has the power to alter the private sphere into a place of equanimity. This is especially poignant for women, who, in prehistoric times, used to be abducted for marriage. Diane Ackerman recounts how a typical tribesman in certain cultures sought the help of a male friend (his "best man") to kidnap a bride. For bell hooks, love must ultimately be grounded in community, the only modality-beyond coupledom or individualism-that can sustain life. For her, the extended kin, far more hospitable to human flourishing than the privatized nuclear family, must be redeemed. Zygmunt Bauman's idea of "liquid love" exposes the essential fragility of romantic unions in the 21st century, resulting in the commoditization of human beings (as what occurs on dating apps, swiping right or left based on the most facile and fleeting of judgements). Can romantic love be a vessel or trigger for individual and collective emancipation? In his book In Praise of Love, philosopher Alain Badiou offers an answer: "Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space, and the world." From BL (boy love) romances to introspective dramas, this year's selections from the region's vibrant cinemas capture a composite picture of Southeast Asia in love.

Magaganap ang Tingin Film Festival sa ika-22 hanggang ika-24 ng Sityembre 2023.

If you go to the Gold Museum in Ayala, you’ll notice how much of the treasures come from the Visayas or precolonial Bisayan kingdoms in Mindanao. We imagine this is only a small sliver of what brilliant gold was once held in the abundant rivers & waters of the islands. Although we can commiserate together about the loss, we treasure what does remain: the richness of our islander languages preserving our living cultures! ⭐️ We’re starting Bisayan Language Immersions next week, from August 31 - November 6, 2023 ➡️ Learn with us! bababisaya.com
