The Philippine Enigma
How come that people, many of whom are applauded for their talents in the seven corners of this world, are deterred from succeeding in their home country? The purpose of this contribution is to explore aspects of the complex problématique of a culture of demotivation in a polity that fails to provide positive prospects. Subsequent despair drives ordinary workers overseas and bleeds the nation dry of talented achievers. In the following, religion,…
Filipino Identity: The Haunting Question
With their national origins in Spanish and US imperialism, and in the subsequent wake of intense waves of cultural colonisation, educated Filipinos are often at a loss about what their roots are. In order to bring much needed clarity to the ongoing debate about what it means to be Filipino, this essay will relate the past to the present by tracing the evolution of, and the continuities in, the essence of Filipino social organisation and worldview…
The Insufficiency of Filipino Nationhood
This essay is an exercise in the histoire des mentalités that traces the evolution of the characteristic ethos in relation to State and nation in the Philippines. Whereas State-propagated nationalism and associated rituals are inescapably present, these fail to evoke the sense of belonging to a shared civil world. It seems as if the public sphere of the State and the private sphere of everyday life do not articulate, which is practically enhanced…
Filipino Images of the Nation

Localization and Philippine Catholicism
Filipino Culture and Social Analysis
La maniere dont les Philippins voient le monde social est moral : il existe un environnement hierachise construit sur des arrangements familiaux. L'ordre est fonde sur les premisses de l'inegalite morale et sur la conscience des obligations reciproques. L'espace public est moralement neutre alors que l'anonymat urbain est une consequence de la « superiorite » de l'ethique individuelle. Cette approche morale de la vie sociale differe de l'approche…
The Crux is the Skin: Reflections on Southeast Asian Personhood
This essay is an exercise in the phenomenology of personhood based on some 25 years of field research among Javanese, Thai, and Filipinos. As I still slip up from time to time, I am convinced that it is relevant to both scholarly researchers and others with practical interests in the region to better know the people with whom they are or will be dealing. The ideas presented in this essay are grounded in my experiences with mainly members of the u…
Thai Images: The Culture of the Public World
The Common Cultural Construction of Social Life in Inner, Littoral South East Asia
In spite of being part of disparate great traditions that also imply important national and individually perceived identity functions, the cultures of the South East Asian littoral along its inner, mediterranean sea (South China Sea, Gulf of Thailand, and Java Sea), possess an amazing unity of basic ideas about how life on the ground should be lived. The inner core, the moral core of life, is the home, the family: its symbol is the female as moth…
