Where All The Pinoys At?? Flipping The Narrative
-
- Society & Culture
Hospitals, airports, cruise ships ... Filipinos are EVERYWHERE. So why are we nowhere? Or why has it taken this long for us to appear, as us, as Filipinos on TV shows and in movies? We chat with two industry experts — one running the show and another facing the audience — about why we need to create our own stories and support our storytellers. Flipping all the narratives with us are director, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging consultant, and veteran entertainment and media policy expert Cris Sales and Victor Lirio, critically acclaimed actor and theatre director specializing in text-based impact theatre, who, before the pandemic, was working at the Old Vic/National Theatre in London.
They raise important questions of identity and visibility, how we see ourselves and how we want to be seen. So we’re on the hunt: nasaan nanga ba ang mga Pinoy? We need to be onscreen, definitely, but we should have a seat at the decision-making table, too.
