@sethiings: To recognize kapwa is to understand that the self is not separate from others. That who we are is shaped by how we relate to ourselves, to other people, and to the stories we share. And what someone lacks does not automatically make them less Filipino. When identity becomes a checklist, it can unintentionally create divisions between those seen as “enough” and those seen as “lacking.” Part of Filipino culture is that we continue to live through connection, shared history, and how we see ourselves in one another. #life #cinematic #thoughts #pilipinas #fy
